"sPoNTANeous LIFE"
DR, Bnstian's Theory Was Refuted
by TyndnM and others.

by TyndaII and others.
The discussion concerning the ex-
periments Of the Indiana physician
who is reported as claiming that he
succeeded in creating life in the form
OF animated substances, or germs.
brings to mind the old discussion Of
spontaneous generation versus biogen-
esis, wherein the famous DR.. Bastian
figured as the advocate of the possibil-
fly OF spontaneous generation and was
apparently refuted by Professor Tyn-
dali and others. A brief resume OF
shat discussion IS contained in the late
Henry Drummond's Natural Law In
fhe Spiritual World" In that work
Professor Drummond opened his lu-
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 10y Dr. Bastian,
after a series of elaborate experiments
on the beginnings of life"
Then. after stating Bastian's theory
IN Bastians own words, Professor
Drummond goes more into detail.
"Glass vessels are three parts filled
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-
pear in the closed TASKS must have
sprung into being of itself In Bas-
tians experiments. after every expe-
dlent to secure sterility, life did appear
inside in myriad quantity. There
fore he argued, it was spontaneously
generated" And those who disprOved
Bastian's theory found that he bad
committed two errors.
First, to quote again from Professor
Drummond Professor Tyndall re-
peated the experiment, only with a
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 vcstige of life appeared. He va
Tied 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
sndestructble vitality Many animals
could survive much higher tempera-
lures than DR.. Bastian had applied TO
annihijate them. These experiments
have practically closed the question.
The attempt to get the living out Of the
dead has failed. Spontaneous genera
tion has had to be given up. And
even while confessing that he wishes
the evidence were the other way Tyn-
dali is compelled to say, 4 affirm that
no shred of trustworthy experimental
testimony exists to prove that life in
our day has ever appeared independ-
emily of antecedent life - Boston

countrr and CIty Boys.

For years the country boys have been
asserting the farms for the village, the
town boys have been winning success
IN the cities, and the city boys have
been making their mark in the metrop-
oils The process, however, threatens
20 leave the farm without its wOrkmen.
As the urban population which must
be fed from the farms increases. the
filters Of the soil become fewer in num-
ber and poorer in quality. Those who
remain to care for the crops have one
fault which the city dweller is quick
20 notice. The worker somehow does
not put the spirit into his tasks that
the eight hour day man in town ex-
hibits. The city boy grows up in an
atmosphere Of hustle. With his ability
10 make every moment count the city
bred man may get out Of farm i'm
measurably more than the average ru-
raj resident. Agricultural schools and
a business instinct and training are not
bad substitutes for farm breeding, and
It will not be surprising If the next few
years witness an exodus Of city bred
workmen, filled with spirit and speed.

GOOD ACTIONS.
A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.

Wood actions speak louder than
words" SO too, does the testimony Of
rsany thousands of women during a third
cs a century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee of
some kind. That is the reason why the
proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such a remarkable offer is founded on
the long record of cures Of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women If
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of
womb, or from leucorrhea who has used
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with
out complete success, the undersigned
proprietors and makers of that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person-and it will be to her advan-
tage to write them as they offer, in per-
feet good faith, a reward of $500 for any
case of the above naladies which they can
not cure. No other medicine for wom-
ans ills is possessed of the unparalleled
curative properties that would warrant
its makers in making such an offer.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd, at
their convent, "Our Lady of the Woods"
Carthage, Ohio, use a great deal of DR..
Piercs's medicines; they say, in a recent
letter to DR.. Pierce: I'VE beg to assure
you of the great benefit these medicines
give our ailing ones. We cannot sufficiently
recommend their excellence"

MerceriZcd Materials.

In view of the extensive popularity of
mercerized goods a word of explanation
in regard to their manufacture will he
interesting. The term ''mercerized' is
derived from the name of Mercer, a
dealer in small wares, who fifty years
ago discovered a chemical process by
which he could make cotton yarn silken
in effect. Ten years after, another man.
presumably in his employ, perfected the
method which has become one of the
greatest improvements and successes
throughout the cotton world, in conse-
quence of linen being so high priced and
cotton, up to the present perfection,
having been so crude. There are several
secret processes-cheap or more ex-
pensive-for getting the effects seen in
mercerized materials. In the stripe
effects the mercerized yarn is woven in
n stripe and the plain yarn used for
another; again, the whole fabric is
mercerized, giving the silken effect all
over. In some cases a burning test is
to determine whether the
material is silk or cotton; cotton and
silk shoulder, and mercerized yarn,
probably on account of the chemicals
used, flames. The textures are now so
beautiful that to the average person it
is impossible to tell at a slight distance
whether the material is a silk matelasse
or a mercerized cotton.-From Materials
