ELECTRICITY SOURCE OF LIFE.
While Not Life Itself 1t Plays Inn
portant Part I'm the Production
Of Phenomena.

There is good reason for believing
that the chemical as we'll as the phys
ical changes OF urotoplasm are pro-
duced by alterations in electrical con-
ditions, and that the remarkable chem
ical powers OF protoplasm shown in Its
syntheses and decompositions are IN
reality electrical, and resemble those
produced in electrolysis by the action
.of the current. states the World To-
Day. When, for example, an electric
charge is removed from an organic
compound it decomposes and new COM
pounds arise. We can therefore say
that those substances will poison the
protoplasm which give up or part with
their charges easily. Substances which
give up their charges with especial ease
are mercury and silver. which are ac-
cordingly very poisonous. We are even
able, from electrical data recently OBJ
tanned, to calculate approximately for
any salt how much will be necessary to
kill given protoplasm in given time.
1t may fairly be said, then, that the
forces of protoplasm are electrical in
large part at least, and that they give
rise under these special conditions to
the phenomena which constitute, life.
This is of course quite different from
saying that electricity is life Life is a
name we give to group of phenomena;
while electricity plays part in pro-
ducing these it is not itself the phe-
nomena.

PAY OF PROFESSORS.
Colleges Pay Proportionately Less
Now Than They Did Fifty
Years Ago.

Whether it is, or is not, in accord with
the eternal fitness of things that college
professors should be kept poor, the fact
is that they are so, says the Syracuse
Post Standard. One who had studied

people this seems not merely dream,
but something very close to what is
vulgarly termed "pipedream," /. e., a
hallucination induced by some power

The Harvard Graduates Magazine
goes SO far as to declare that the college
professors Of the present day are more
poorly paid than the college professors
of half century ago when the president
of Harvard got $500 year, and James
Russell Lowell $1,000 for teaching
bellies lettres and bringing up the Cam
bridge youths in the paths Of French
and Spanish languages and literature.
The best Harvard professors Of to-day
receive $4,000 year at the elimination
of their career, but in purchasing power
this is not the equivalent of the $4,000
which the best men were paid in 1856,

pigeons should have fresh water each
time they are fed and plenty of it for
bathing in afterwards. The pump that
furnished the water was some distance
from the yards, and the piping had to
pass two doors that were used several
times daily, so that it was necessary to
lower the pipe to the ground, passing
the doors, then raising about two feet
above first water pans and giving it a
gradual fall to about one foot above
the last pan, there beingaten watering
pans in all. l then drilled an eighth
inch hole in pipe directly over each
