The Empress Of Japan

The empress of Japan is a noble and
inspiring character, says the Chicago
News. Her name is Haruko, and she
is the daughter of a noble of the high
est rank. She is two years older than
The mil1ado. Her marriage took place
in 1865. A further indication of the
sacredness in which the imperial per
sonages are held is shown by the mel
termined term that the court ladies should
sdont European dress At this time
great difficulty was experienced IN get
TbS nrofane hands of dressmaker
could not be allowed to touch the per
sonage of the empress, so a court lady
had to pose as model until the gar
ments were gradually made to fit.

to have been the chief points to which
the attention of the illuminations was
directed. The neutral tint was first
laid on somewhat in the same mode
as in the present day, some portions
being left untouched in order to be
afterward embedded in gold and silver.
The pictures represented different sub
jects, according to the nature of the
book which they were intended to en-
bellish. The title on the pages was
formed of capital letters of gold and
azure mixed. Illuminated pictures are
of dazzling brightness, the white pre-
dominating, which, not being an oil
color, reflects the rays of light and does
not absorb them. So much custom had
the monks in their labors of trans
cribing and illuminating that they were
sometimes obliged to introduce hired
limners, although contrary to the mon
astic rule in general, but such aids
We're seldom resorted to, the monks
being usually the only laborers.
The invention of printing diminished
the Importance and annihilated the
profits of writing, and, in 1850, that of
engraving superseded the art of illum-
mating. The last specimen of this lat
ter practice is to be met with at Ok

PIGEON RECORDS

Homing pigeons are the craze in
England just now, and on one recent
Saturday between 100000 and 100000
birds were released in various COM
petitions. A number of these were
raced to London from Retford and
Branston. The distances are 127 and
113 miles, respectively, but no birds of
the several thousand released made the
trip in the traditional mile a minute,
although every circumstance of wind
and weather was favorable to record
breaking.
Much better time was made in con-
test from Templecombe to London, in
which one bird made the 10S miles in
ninety-four minutes. an average of
sixty-nine miles an hour, and more
than one hundred exceeded a speed of
sixty miles an hour.
One of the oldest homers is bird
which makes it's home around the rail-
way station at Liege, in Belgium.
There is a train from Liege to
Waremme which starts every morning
at 10 o'clock. AS soon as the train
pulls into the station the bird COM
mences to circle in the air, and as soon
as headway is gained follows the train
to It's destination, returning imme-
diately home, where it flies about the
station for the rest of the day. 1t pays
no attention to any other of the trains
and no one Is able to offer an explana-
tion as to why this particular train
should be favored

ninety per cent pure alcohol was added.
A portion of this was poured into some
| glass dishes, together with two ounces
of ammonium hydrate, or aqua am
monia, and this was covered with
| glass bell jar A reaction began to
| take place almost Immediately and
few minutes later a thin blueish Vapor
was observed to rise, hydrogen gas was
| liberated, which formed bubbles on the
surface of the liquid, and these assumed
a rotatory motion, which continued for
half an hour or more. This prelimt-
| nary process having been completed,
| the solution was now ready and the
| crucial test began.
| To observe the following changes o
minute globule of the alkaline fluid was
dropped gently on glass slide while
the latter was under the objective of
a microscope. An examination revealed
a further action taking place that was
entirely invisible to the unaided eye,
namely, exceedingly small particles
were moving at high velocities,
being driven from the center of the
drop to it's outer edge. While inter-
esting to watch. these were only chem
ical changes; but there were others
/ yet to follow. When the forces by
which the different elements were
! brought into contact had united to form
new compounds cubes of sodium chlo-
ride began to appear, and these crys-
! tails remained without further change.
Others began to collect on top of the
liquid, and it was in these that DR..
Iittlefield saw the first indications of
| life.
Life in Its First Stage
The spontaneous generation of a
VitaliZed cell is produced, according TO
the doctor, by the chemical affinity or
] 1nt mo N
salt, and from out of the center of this
compound life in it's first stage appears.
The minute element which manifests
an independent motion assumes fat
| disklike shape not unlike red blood
corpuscle. At first it's diameter Is
about five-hundredths of an inch, but
it rapidly grows larger and larger un-
til it has obliterated the crystals from
which It sprang,
It's development is a tri1e slower
now, and takes place chiefly In the
center of the jellylike material. When
it has reached it's largest size 1t be-
gins to take on the appearance of an
amoeba, having a simple protoplasmic
body and effecting movement by an
extension of it's parts into fingerlike
processes. These extensions of the pro-
duced germ of life are to all intents
utilized as feeders, through which
nourishment is taken, the food being
grasped by the projections and en-
quilted by the body, which contracts
after its reception.
| From the results of his experiments
DR.. Littlefeld concludes that there are
two essential factors required to bring
forth formative living matter. The first
is a force or influence due to certain
vibrations of the ether and the other
is certain combination of atoms so
arranged as to be capable of respond
ing to these impressed vibrations.
Such combinations as are arranged
with regard to selectivity constitute a
medium that will respond to and mani
fest the presence of the vital force and
hence give us the phenomenon of
physical life. The basis of this is salt

water and ammonia in the presence of
hydrogen which is evolved from the
alcohol
These experiments in spontaneous
generation are merely reproductions OF
what took place when life first mani.
tested itself on the surface Of the earth
prior to the time the tribolite and mol
lusk made their appearance. At what
| ever period this may have been it was
evidently when chlorine gas and met
allie sodium first united to form salt
and hydrogen gas and nitrogen united
to form ammonia, and when these
were combined with water life was
produced where there was no life be-
fore.
The value of Dr. LittIeheId's or any
one else's experiments in the artificial
! generation of life depends absolutely
and solely on whether or not every
| trace of pre-existing life has been ex-
cluded before and prevented during the
progress of the tests. This is the rea-
son that even those biologists who be-
lieve in the hypothesis of abiogeness
cry down every attempt that has ever
been made at it's artificial production.
Tyndall, Darwin, Spencer, Huxley.
later Pasteur, all believed at one time
or another that they had discovered the
life principle or were close upon it, but
each in turn on taking more rigid pre-
cautions to prevent the ingress of life
during the operation found that no life
appeared.
This is what led Tyndall to affirm
that no shred of trustworthy evidence
| exists to prove that life has ever ap-
peared independent of antecedent life.
OF all things in the world today that
should be placed in the category of in
fancy, life and radium are chief. They
stand i'm the beginning of the twentieth
century where electricity and magnet
ism stood at the beginning of the
Christian era-to wit, very little is
known of the one and nothing of the
other. 1t may be a century or it may
| be twenty centuries in the future be-
| fore the laws which govern them will
| be known and understood as well as
are those of electromagnetic now.
Over two thousand years elapsed
after the philosopher Thales had
rubbed the bit of amber and perceived
that it set into action the force we
now call electricity and the poet Luz
cretius had mentioned something of the
properties of the lodestone until it was
ascertained that their energies were in
timately related. The result of this dis
covery by Oersted has given us the
gigantic advantages of civilization
which we enjoy, such as the telegraph.
the telephone these duplicated in
wireless, the cable, the electric railway
electric lights and the thousand and
one other electrical devices that we
would not know how to get along with
out
So the time may come when the
feeble experiments of those whom we
have cited will be looked upon as the
forerunners of gigantic system that
will not only make life but control
death, and it would give to those who
follow us on this beautiful sphere new
powers just as the unrewarded discov-
cries of those long since gone have
given us, and If the result should any,
where nearly come up to this standard,

Mr.. SOufhCOtt
and His Tribe

THE END of the world is definitely
predicted by sect of Israelites
who are actively preparing for
the catastrophe. A party of these be-
levers passed through New York re-
Gently on their way from Australia to
Michigan, where they will await the
end. Incidentally, the catastrophe is
expected in 1916
The sect calls itself the "Lost Chill
dren of Israel" Most of the members
of the tribe are wealthy. They are all
strict vegetarians, and eat nothing ex-
cept what they grow themselves. On
the trip over on the Princess Irene they
lived on the food they had brought with
them, and none of them ate anything
served to them by the ships steward.
The first leader of the tribe was
Johann Southcott, who held the posi-
tion in 1892. The others who have been
leaders are Richard Brother Peter
Shaw. George Turner, James JezrilI
and the present king and queen of the
tribes, Benjamin and Mary Purnell,
who expect to ride in the golden chariot
into heaven when the end comes. The
money of every member is put into one
IOlllllOll PURSE anu llllS purse is DldCeQ
in the hands Of the leader, who dis
burses it.
The original members of the sect
started from Benton Harbor, Mich, in
November, 1903, ostensibly to circum-
navigate the globe. They journeyed by
way of Vancouver, B. c., where they
set sail for the Orient. After stopping
at Honolulu for short time they con-
tinued on to Melbourne, Australia.
At Melbourne their meetings were
largely attended, according to Edmund
Burley, one of their leaders. They held
many overflowing meetings at the time
"Elijah" Dowie was driven out of the
same town and compelled to leave the
country.
After establishing colony at Singe-
ton, Australia, their converts Volun-
teered to go with them around the
world. Their number was supplemented
in England, where they conducted
meetings The appearance of the mem
bers of the tribe is calculated to at
tract attention. The men wear their
hair long, hanging as low as their
waists. This, they declared, was in
accordance with the teachings of Moses
but the specific reason for their long
hair, they said, was that they were
walking in the footsteps of Christ,
whose hair was never shorn. The dress
of the men is fantastic to say the least.
High felt hats of the style worn CEN
tury ago are worn by all. Long frock
coats of good material and stout shoes
complete their attire. The 'lost tribe"
arrives at its conclusion that the world
will come to an end in 1916 by reason
| ing that as there were 1000 years be-
tween Adam and Noah and 1000 years
between the time of Christ and the
present time, 1916 will complete the
cycle.

Hope for Him

Robert Henri, the well-known painter
of New York, met, the other day, an
old friend from Boston.
The Bostonian had painted all his
life, but his work is not good. Before
work that is not good, Mr.. Henri Is un-
able to dissemble. He cannot, to save
his life, call bad art good art.
Accordingly when the obscure paint
err showed the noted one few speci-
mems of his work, no praise was be-
slowed on it by Mr.. Henri. He only
looked at it. nodded gravely, and spoke
of other things.
