"SPONTANEOUS LIFE"
ux. Bastian's Theory was hefeteo
by Tyndall and Others.

Tho discussion concerning the ex-
neriments of the Indiana physician
who is reported as claiming that nc
succeeded In creating life In the form
of animated substances, or germs,
brings to mind the old discussion OIL
spontaneous generation versus Diogen-
oslo wherein the famous DR.. Bastian
figured as the advocate OF the POSSIBLE
ity of spontaneous generation and was
apparently refuted by Professor Tyn-
dali and others. A brief resume OIL
that discussion is contained in the late
Henry Drummonds Natural Law In
the Spiritual World" In that WORK
Professor Drummond opened his Iu-
minous chapter on "Biogenesis' as fol-
lows:
For 200 years the scientific world
has been rent with discussions upon
the origin of life. Two great schools
have defended exactly opposite views
one that matter can spontaneously
generate life, the other that life can
only come from pre-existing life. The
doctrine OF spontaneous generation, as
the first is called, has been revived
within recent years by DR.. Bastian,
after a series of elaborate experiments
on the beginnings of life."
Then. after stating Bastians theory
in Bastian's own words, Professor
Drummond goes more into detail.
"Glass vessels are three parts filed
with infusions of hay or any organic
matter. They are boiled TO kill all
germs OF life and hermetically sealed
to exclude the outer air. The air In
side. having been exposed to the boil
ing temperature for many hours, Is
supposed to be likewise dead, so that
any life which may subsequently ap-
near In the closed TASKS must have
sprung into being Of itself In Bas-
tIan's experiments, after every expe-
dent to secure sterility. life did appear
inside in myriad quantity. There
fore. he argued, it was spontaneously
generated" And those who disproyed
Bastian's theory found that he had
committed two errors.
First to quote again from Professor
Drummond, Professor Tyndall re-
peated the experiment, only with
precaution to insure absolute sterility
suggested by a discovery Of his own.
He conceived that there might still be
undestroyed germs in the air inside
the TASKS. He manipulated his ex-
perimental vessels in an atmosphere
which under the high test of optical
purity was absolutely germless. Here
not a vestige of life appeared. He va
ried the experiment In every direction,
but matter In the germless air never
yielded life.
, "The other error was detected by Mr..
| Dallinger. He found among the lower
/ forms of life the most surprising and
, indestructible vitality. Many animals
could survive much higher tempera'
| lures than Dr. Bastian hGd applied to
a anuihiIate them. These experiments
: have practically closed the question
Q The attempt to get the living out OF the
9 | dead has failed. Spontaneous genera.
q ton, has had to be given up. And
II even white confessfng that -
:. the evidence were the other
e dali is compelled to say, 4 affirm ..ia1
q no shred of trustworthy experimental
!. testimony exists to prove that life In
g our day has ever appeared independ
n entity of antecedent life.'" Bostor

APOSTLE SPOONS SELL
At $24,50O THE SET
Thirteen Bearing Figures of Christ
and "The Twelve"

LONDON, July 1S.-Thirteen silver
apostle spoons. with figures Of Christ
and the twelve Apostles upon them.
were auctioned at London today. They
brought the record price Of S24. 500.
The spoons were dated 1895. and con-
stitute the earliest complete set known.
The bidding was spirited, commencing
at $4,000 and rising rapidly until they
were finally knocked down TO a dealer
for the sensational figure named.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turies favorite gift at christenings
was a set OF apostle spoons. IN some
cases there were twelve spoons. each
bearing the figure of an apostle; in
some cases four representing the evan
gelists. Very rarely a set contained
thirteen spoons the extra one having
figure of Christ or the Virgin. AS
the set sold in London was a complete
collection, IL commanded a very high
price.

DISTRICT GETS TITLE
TO TAX SALE PROPERTY
Has Rights Not Given to Private
Bidders.

The Collector of Taxes. e. G. Davis.
mas requested the opinion OF the Corpo-
ration Counsel in the matter of record
ing deeds Issued at the delinquent tax
sale Of July Is. The act Of July 2. 1902.
provides two methods OF selling prop
erty for delinquent taxes. one to take
place annually. certificates to be issued
10 purchasers on which deeds may be
obtained II the property is not redeemed
within two years from date Of sale.
The other authorizes the Commission
ers to sell. at public or private sale. any
property which the District may have
bought In the absence of other bidders.
AT this sale deeds are issued. no time be-
Ing allowed for redemption, and it has
not been considered necessary for the
District to record such deeds.
Section cf the act referred TO re-
quires the Collector of Taxes to file With
the Recorder of Deeds, within twenty
days of the last day OF sale, a written
report covering the annual sale at which
certificates are issued
FROM the concluding portion OF this
section, which provides that il any prom
erty sold for taxes is redeemed, the COT
lectoT thinks that II is not the intention
OF the law that the District should re-
cord deeds. but only sales that are re-
deemable. The Corporation Counsel will
determine the law in the matter.
