ADVANCES NEW THEORY.
Holland Professor Combats Darwin's
Genealogy Of Man.

ST. LOUIS, September 22.-Great interest
has been aroused in the international con-
gress of arts and sciences by a proposition
advanced by Prof. Hugo de Vries, professor
of botany in the University of Amsterdam,
Holland. who combats Darwins theory Of
the origin of species and advances theory
of his own directly opposing the tenets of
other biologists and phylogenists. Prof. de
Vrfes asserts that no two of the same spe
cies of animals, from the lowest stages to
man. are alike in any important particular.
Heredity, he claims, does not transmit
the distinguishing features element of
an individual to the oStspring of that indi-
vidual. Heredity is the main element OF
the Darwinian theory. and Darwinists
claim that by passing from generation to
generation the peculiarities of the primo
genitor finally result in new species.
Prof de Vries denies this and declares that
an entirely new species may be developed
within one or two generations. Sectional
meetings continued today.

The View Adopted.

AS The Star recently announced. Secre-
tary Hays view was adopted by the Rus
sian government. Count Lamsdorn said
that instructions had been sent to the prize
courts and naval commanders supplement-
ing and explaining the regulations respect
ing contraband of war originally issued.
The conditional contraband character or
articles of dual use is admitted in the new
instructions.
The result will be to firmly establish as
principle of international law the exemp-
ton of foodstuffs conveyed under the con-
ditions described from seizure. a matter
which has not heretofore been one of uni
yersal practice.

From the New York World.
 San Francisco, July 16.-A cowpuncher has arrived in town, and up to latest accounts not light has been shot out nor are thero any signs of red paint hav- ing been used by the stranger.
 The cowpuncher Is Miss Lee Kue. the e&inese cattle queen of Arizona, and she has taken up temporary quarters in the Chinese district Miss Lee Kue is a neaceable and refined cowgirl. She left her shooting irons at home near Phoenix, Ariz.
 She is here on her way to China as an escort to the ashes of her father, who died several years ago and must, accord ing to custom, be buried in the Flowery Kingdom. While Lee Kue is thousands of years ahead of her own race, she still clines to some of its traditions. There Fore her fathers last wish will be re- ligiously carried out.
 Since she was 15 Lee Kue has had full charge of her fathers ranch, which brings an annual income of s10,000. Every detail of it's working was managed by her. With . large stan of admiring cowboys she sunerintended the branding and the rounding up and she rode with her own herds into Phoenix.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
Now Accomplished By Using the
 Starch of Potatoes.
From Harper's s Weekly.

From HarperS Weekly.
 Stin another method for color photo graphy has been devised and has the merit that the manipulation does not h. volve the difficulties of many of the ear Her processes. It is the invention of two Frenchmen-Auguste and Louis Lumiere- and Is somewhat similar to the method of Jouly, where lines of different colors are ruled on glass plate through which the photograph is taken. In the Lumiere pro- cess colored starch grains made from the starch of potatoes are substituted for the colored lines. These grains, which are from 15 to 20 miorons (6-10OO,OOO to R. 10,0O00 900 of an inch) in diameter, are d. vided into three lots, and are colored orange-red, green and violet. The colored powder which these grains form is then evenly distributed on a glass plate cov- cred by a layer of isinglass In such way that the starch layer is but one grain ,n thickness, and any interstices are fill ed by a fine black powder such as that of wood charcoal The color screen so formed has for each square milimeter 2000 or 5000 elementary screens composed of the primary colors, and 1t is covered with a layer of thin transparent varnish, whose index of refraction Is equal to that of the starch. Finally, an isochromatic film of gelatino-bromide of silver is ap- piled. The sensitive plate formed in this way is exposed in a camera In the usual fashion with the only difference that the exposure Is made through the glass. The result Is that red light will pass through a red particle and will produce a blacken- ing of the film, and so with the other colors. Accordingly, when the plate Is de- veloped and fixed a negative will be ob- tained which exhibits the complementary colors of the original object. The proper colors are then obtained by dissolvng away the reduced silver and then de- veloping the exposed chloride. The result Is a transparency in natural colors which Is viewed by being held to the light.

CHINESE CATTLE QUEEN
 RUNS RANCH IN ARIZONA

with that of her sisters here and in China While they seldom saw even the little corners of the world in which they lived, all Arizona was Lee Kue's to wan der over. Her sisters covered their faces from the sight of men. Lee Kue goes forth among the sterner sex of her own land and of America, jokes with them quarrels with them and bargains with them shrewdly. While her sisters toddle on their uncertain. pyramidal feet, Lee Kue leaps into the saddle of a bucking mustang and rides with the best cattle puncher in Arizona.
 Farming and horticulture are open books to this Chinese girl of 20 Most of the markets in Phoenix are provided with fruit and vegetables from her ranch. When the cattle were not occuping all her attention she would rise before dawn and drive four-horse wagon loaded with produce into town
 Lee Kue is small and trim. Except for the frank. fearless look in her oblique eyes there is nothing in her appearance to distinguish her from the conventional Chinese girls cooped in arbors of lilies and occupying their time in wondering how the street below them looks. But the desert tan of Arizona is on Lee Kue's cheeks, and now years of indoor life would never make them pale. She belongs to the strenuous life.
