Victory

Despite the nights rest, the horses were
stiff after the long struggle with rain and
mud the day before. If the situation was
to be saved by a race, there seemed little
chance Of success with the animals so
tired and discouraged. With the exception
of the departure from Oxford. the riders
were more silent and melancholy than at
any other time during their journey to-
gether They had discussed the case in
all Its bearings the previous night, before
the blazing fire, and had come to the con-
clusion that it would be safer to part

A CRITICISM OF LOEB.

In the American Journal of Physiol-
ogy Messrs. E. P. Gorham and r. w.
Tower publish very destructive criti-
cism of Professor Loeb's recent work
on the eggs of the sea urchin. 1t may
be recalled that Loeb created something
of a sensation by announcing that he
could prolong the life of the sea ur-
chins eggs by the addition of q small
quantity of cyanide of potassium to the
water and that he had succeeded in
Matching these eggs, even though they
had not been fertilized. OF course, BIZ
ologists have long been familiar with
the doctrine Of Parthenogenesis, ac-
cording to which the apparently infer
tilted eggs in certain species of the
hymenopters (bees and ants) are
Matched out, but Loebs alleged demon
stration was even more astounding, for
the impression sought to be conveyed
was that the sea urchin's unfertiliZed
egg could be made to hatch by merely

acting upon it with a chemical SUBJ
stance The whole thing was mysteri-
ous unintelligible and expressed in lam
guage none too lucid and convincing.
Messrs. Gorham and Tower say that,
in their experiments at Woods Holl,
they have prolonged the life of the sea
urchin's egg even longer than Loeb had
done, and merely by using sterile sea
water and they conclude that Loeb S
cyanide of potassium had merely acted
as germicide and had destroyed the
bacterial bodies that otherwise would
have destroyed the eggs.
Doubt is freely expressed in some
quarters about LOeb's having Matched
unferttlized eggs and the belief is ex-
pressed that he had not excluded the
fertilizing principle from the water.
Loeb, in fact, is in the position former
ly occupied by Bastian and tother sup
porters Of the doctrine of spontaneous
generation. Pasteur demolished their
argument by showing that their test
tubes had not been sterilized, and that
bacteria developed in them in the ordi-
nary course of nature.
If Professor Loeb's claims shall be
proved erroneous 1t will be only another
instance of defective observation lead
ing to premature conclusions on the
part of a somewhat too enthusiastic ex-
erimenter-Philadelp Medical Jour-

place them before the country in a
light that it would be unpleasant to

the bank until it reached the lower end
Of the log. AS daylight approached his
trap began to rock slightly and Silas
knew one end of the log was floating.
Higher and higher the water rose. 1t
was now up to Silas' knee as he sat
astride the log, and he knew that death
was certain if he should be washed in
to the current. In his desperation he
literally sawed his finger off above the
second joint, using his dull barlow, and
the log flOated away. Five minutes af-
terWard another trapper came along
and found him. He was so chilled that
he had to be assisted to his home, four
miles away. He is not recommending
his trap to any Of his neighbors and is
becoming reticent when his adventure
is mentioned.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
How Mighty Hunter Came to Grief
With His Own Invention.

How Mighty Hunter Came to Grief
With His Own Invention.
Silas Remey, who lives on Chapline
river, is af amous trapper. No otter,
fox or coon is too sharp for him: but
now every "Varmint'' in that end of
Mercer county is laughing, writes a
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Silas and his young son spent all Of
an afternoon in setting traps along the
river cliff. They set their last one just
at night-fall This particular trap was
one of Silas' own invention, and most
effective in catching coOns. On the
river bank was a log which every coon
that came along would visit, and here
Silas set his trap An auger hole was
forced in the log, acrawfish was drop
ped in and four large steel nails with
points as sharp as needle were driven
in at an angle.
Mr.. Coon could thrust in his hand for
the crawfish easil yenough, but could
not withdraw it because the points of
the nails would be like barbs thrust i'll
to his paw, and the harder he pulled
the deeper the barbs would stick into
the flesh So when Silas had set his
trap he thrust in his finger to feel the
points. They seemed to be set about
rhythm fact. were set so nicely that
when he tried to withdraw his finger
he was In Mr.. Coon's intended plight
exactly. One of the barbs entered his
finger and almost before he knew it all
had him tight. The more he struggled
the deeper the barbs sank into his
flesh.
This was anything but a laughing
matter to Sias. His old knife was too
dull to make any Roadway in cutting
out the nails. so, after thinking the
matter over he started his little son
home with lighted lantern to get
pincers to pull out the nails. The boy
made his way up the cliff, lost his way,
fell over a ledge and eXtinguished the
lantern and finally went to sleep under
cedar tree and came near freezing.
Meanwhile Silas sat astride the log
in the bitter weather and thought
Sunday-school words. But a real dan
ger began to threaten him. The river
was rising rapidly. Steadily it crept up
