NEW LIGHT ON HEREDITY.

held the first International Conference
on Plant Breeding and Hybridization.
The meeting was so successful that 1t
was determined by the recently organ
lied Horticultural Society of New
York to hold the next international
Conference in the United States. This
was done September goth, and Octo-
Der 1st and End, 1902, at the Berkeley
Lyceum building, in the rooms of the
American Institute of Art and Science,
in the city of New York. The writer
ahd the privilege of attending every
session of the conference by authority
from the regents of education of South
Dakota, and it was indeed a great priv
ilege More than fifty papers were
presented in full or by title. There
were delegates present from England,
the West Indies, Jamaica, Canada, and
various parts of the United States. Pa
pers were sent from Ireland, Scotland,
Austria Holland and France. 1t is i'm
possible to give brief synopsis of the
many valuable papers presented, many
of which were too technical and scien-

popular synopsis. The storm center
of discussion during the whole con-
ference was about MendePs law OF
heredity and DeVries' theory of muta-
ton of species. These two seem to
mark an epoch in the history of plant
and animal breeding. 1t is generally
thought that had Darwin known of
Mendels discoveries he would have
changed some of his theories Mendel
was an abbot in MOravia, Austria, and
in the gardens of his monastery car
ried on a series of elaborate expert
ments, perfect in conception and exc
cution. They have been verified since
by other workers. The theory was
presented in an obscure publication
some thirty-five years ago, but for
some reason was neglected until
brought to light in 1900 by two or
IDENTIFY.
Briefly it may be stated that when
two plants of definite characters are
crossed, there is no means of telling
what the progeny will be. Some char
acters will be dominant" others ere
cessive." If this progeny intercrosses,
the second generation of individuals
will have characters in definite COM
binations. By proper selection in this
second generation it is possible to fix
a type with no further trouble. Those
with dominant characteristics should
be crossed together, or those with re-
cessive characters should be combined
Breed from the "zygotes," not the "he-
terozygotes." This fixes the type at
once The first experiments were con-
Quoted with garden peas, but wheat
and many other plants have since been
tried Some complex cases occur
where the law does not fully apply
but it is constantly believed by various
workers on the problem in Europe,
that the law will apply in most cases
if not all. 1t has been found to apply
equally as well to animals and has al
ready been used efficiently in the
breeding of poultry by Professor Bate
son, of Cambridge University, who was
present at the conference, and pre-
scented paper on the Practical AS

JURY OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT
No Agreement Is Reached Up Till IL
O'Clock in Goodyear Case.

The case Of the state against John
Goodyear for rape went to the jury yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock and at u
o clock last night the jury was still
out When instructing the jury Judge
Dale was asked by the foreman the ques-
ton as 10 what the jury should do If
the members were unable to reach an
agreement. He replied with a laugh:
"Never mind what you shall do in that
case. You viii be still here at o'clock
in the morning"
The defense yesterday morning intro
duced evidence to show that the defend
ant was sick az the time the alleged crime
was committed A great deal of their
testimony was cut out. as the court made
a ruling at the beginning of yesterdays
session, saying that no testimony as to
the good or bad character Of Katie Daw-
son would be allowed, for the crime stood
out separate from any other consideration
and would be just the same crime
whether the girl was good or bad. The
defense in its other testimony made
good case and has caused the jury TO
think long and hard. 1t may hang.
which win most likely mean acquittal for
the state has been put to a great deal
Of expense already on this case.
The Arguments made wore exceptionally
good on both sides Mr.. John Adams and
Mr.. George Adams both made good.
sound points that had, very little orna-
mentation 10 them. Mr. J. Comfy for
the prosecution argued very earnestly
the case from a standpoint of law. Mr..
Henry Huffman made the opening speech
for the prosecution and drew many an
swers and denials from the defense. In
fact, Attorney Huffman surprised all
those who heard him, both for the COM
mon sense OF his arguments and for the
eloquence with which he delivered them.
He did it as one who understood the case
and knew the convicting features of It.
