any other church. believe that the
Roman Catholic Church is doing a great
work in this country along certain lines,

lads screams were Immediately re-
doubled, but the turtle held on. Finally
a blacksmith, who was in the crowd, de-
clared he could deal with the situation,
if the boy and the turtle would wait
few minutes. Going to his shop, which
was near by, he got two pairs of tongs
and heavy file. Two men caught the
turtles head with the tongs while the
smith proceeded to file of the top OF the
reptiles beak. The boy was taken to a
doctors Office where his lacerated finger

SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE.
Natural Fecundation Of EGGS Re-
placed by the Action Of Car
bonic Acid Gas.

In a paper recently read before the
Academic des Sciences, NJ. Yves Delage
states that he has made series of OK
periments upon artificial formulation
of eggs of some of the inferior ami
mails, particularly marine specimens,
and has been successful in certain
cases. In the case of some species he
was able to replace the natural fe-
cundation by the action of carbonic
acid gas. Non-fecundated eggs which
were treated with sea water charged
with the gas were observed to de-
velop normally. 1t is to be remarked,
however, tina: all the eggs are not
adapted to develop by this process. To
do so it is necessary that the eggs
should be in the act of performing a
certain physiological function which is
required for all eggs to render them
capable of formulation. This action
consists in the emission of polar
globules.'' The eggs which have al
ready completed this function are no
longer sensitive to the action of the
carbonic acid. This latter phenome-
non he observed in the case of sea-
urchins. NJ Delage states that at pres
ent he is able to sensitize these eggs
and also to render them capable of
being developed by the action of car
bonic acid. This he accomplishes by
shaking them up in closed vessel and
heating them to 80 degrees.-Scientific

TOOT FOR MISSOURI CORN.
Poetic Puke Peals a Paean Of Pride
May Have Had Corn Juice
ON the Inside.

The Joplin Globes poet, having read that
Missouri beats the world in the production
of corn, took his horn in hand and blew these
few blasts in celebration Of the fact:
when you think about Missouri and are
wont to foot her horn, please to give pass
ing mention to her golden yield Of corn
Thugh she sets the pace industrial in APP
Piles rosy red, and in other lines of effort ia
serenely at the head, it is on y very recently
she's come into her own as the state where
in the biggest crop Of yellow corn is grown.
The bureau of statistics agricultural relates
that Missouri now has distanced all her eis-
terhood of states in the number of acres
dedicated unto corn and the number of
bushels from each fruitful acre born. The
statistics draw comparisons, which show
upon their face that Miss Prohibition Kan
sas is assigned to second place, and ambitious
Oklahoma, OF whom deal is heard, the facts
and icy figures stick in corner labeled third.
So hereafter, when you feel inclined to foot
the old states horn, don't forget to blow .
blast or two in honor Of her corn
