Useful veIveteen skirt.

The velveteen skirt is considered
quite the correct accompaniment for
separate bodices of all sorts and de-
scriptions. 1t is gored, it is of circu-
lar cuts, it is shown in fiounced and
TERED designs. and it is displayed
trimmed and untrimmed- Black, in
the new fast dye, is far and away the
favorite. and reasonably so, since a
black skirt will carry any shade of
waist with good effect. But dark
hunters green, a medium brown and
some of the dahlia and plum shades
are pressing the old reliable cOlorS
rather strong for first place in the
whims and affections of the more
youthful members of society. The
ceinture-for this is a most import
ant feature-may be of either material
according to the figure; but the aver
age girl will find that ceinture built
upon the well-boned and fitted lining
of the corsage will afford better out
line than if it be of the velveteen of
the skirt.

SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM SOLVED


Prof. j. Butler Burke, a Cambridge
university professor, recently an
nOuEced that he had demonstrated the
possibility of spontaneous generation.
By means of radium and sterilized
boullon together in a test tube, he
claimed to have obtained cultures pre-
senting many appearances of vitality.
such as growth and subdivision. Prof.
Burke conducted experiments for six
years in the Cavendish laboratory.
with Prof. Thomson.
= These experiments together with
those of Prof. Loeb of San Francisco,
in the opinion of many scientists,
have done much to solve the oldest
scientific problem in the world-the
generation of life by artificial means.
Loeb, some months ago, startled the
scientific world by actually fertiliZ-
ing the eggs of sea urchin and thus
generating life artificially. Now he
declares to have made another import
ant step toward an explanatian of
the process of reproduction in animal
life. He claims to have found a rea-
son for the appearance of the "fertili-
zation membrane" which becomes
visible around the sea urchin and star

with great success on the sea urchin
egg in simple fashion. Unfertilized
eggs were treated with a solution of
acetyc, butryic or other similar acids,
followed usually by solutions of COM
mon salt.
Benzol, amylene and other cnemi-
Gals of this character acted similarly.
Would they produce the membrane on
the starf1sh egg also? Since, under
appropriate conditions DR.. LoeD was
able to fertilize sea urchin eggs with
the active elements of starfisL,f pro-
ducing thereby hitherto impossible
hybrid it seemed to him that the lat
ter must carry into the egg sub
stances similar to those carried in
by the active element of the urchin.
He was not long in showing con-
clusively that the same substances
which produce the fertilization mem
brane artificially in the urchins egg
act similarly on the starfish egg In
some cases starfish eggs would de-
velop when no membrane had been

fish after they have been penetrated
by the active element.
Prof. Loeb, when he began his in
veatigations on sea urehin eggs, real
lied that one constant accompaniment
of its normal development was the for
nation of delicate, transparent
membrane about the egg. This mem
brane appeared with such rapidity as
to seem literally to jump away from
the egg surface. The space between
the membrane and the egg surface
always was filled with transparent
fluid.
Soon after the formation of the
membrane the egg would divide into
halves, each of which would divide a
little later into two others. The devel
opment proceeds in this way by sell
division, the process being initiated
by the entrance of the active ele-
ment.
At the beginning of his attempts to
solve the mystery of fertilization DR..
Loeb was convinced that he must dis

formed Their development, however,
was abnormally slow and imperfect.
The facts pointed to the inevitable
conclusion that the membrane forma-
ton, or the process underlying it, was
necessary accompaniment of nor
NAL development, the membrane itself
merely resulting as a mechanical con-
sequence of the extrusion of its sub
stance from the egg. 1t appeared to
contain a substance which when in
the egg prevented its development
Dr. Loeb found that the presence
of oxygen kills unfertilized eggs, but
develops those which have been fer
tilted The entrance of the active
element into the egg in normal fer
tilization obviously produces a pro-
found change in its internal affairs
Oxidation after fertilization leads to
the formation of different chemical
products from those formed in the un-
fertilized but mature egg.
All facts at present indicate that
this change is not due to the mere ad-
dftion of a new chemical substance
but to the fact that this additional
substance drives out another

The main reason why King Oscar was de-
throned was that he represented aristocratic
Sweden against democratic Norway, and there
fore was unable to carry out the thoughts Of
freedom, equality and sovereignty which ex-
pressed in the constitution of Norway.
The Swedish democratic people love Norway.
Thousands of them have emigrated to Norway,
being now some of its most Industrious and
democratic citizens, and. as many are working
there from time to time; the ideas Of freedom.
self-possession and social-poltical betterment
spread thru them to every part o. Sweden.
It is Norway's hope for Sweden that the SWed-
ish aristocracy soon may be put out of power.
In this wish the great authors, tne best poll
ticians, the liberal party and the masses of the
democratic classes in Sweden unite with Nor
way.

it's Industrious intelligent people will break the
power by which the Swedish aristocracy are
now holding them under an unworthy yoke.
