When Kuropatkin Was Shot.

At this time OF the (at lea,, techlncaD
lisgrace of Gen. kuropatkin it fails dis
inctly apropoS to hear of that brave
md able gentleman's behavior during
mother war than that which has but
ust come to an end in the far east
Turing the war between Russia and Tur-
key in the late '70s when Kuropat-
kin served with marked distinction under
the redoubtabie Skobeletf. Through all
of 1877 the younger man displayed most
admirable fighting qualities. His tire
lessness and ability had gained for him
the highest encomiums of his famous
superior. Then on Christmas day, came
the chance shot which laid Kuropatkin
by for time, incidentally showing in a
new light the splendid physical bravery
of the man.
Skobeleff had taken his stand on
rock to survey the valley which stretched
away from the Lyssoi hill. when ball

patkin's shoulder and collarbonc; as
usual. he was at the side of his COM
mander. The loss to the latter seemed
irremediable, while the grief of the file
troops, when the ill news ran among
them, was so keen and real that some
actually shed tears as this idolized leader
was laid on stretcher and borne away.
But the rugged steepness of the rocky
hillside was too much for the bearers.
One of them slipped and the wounded
man was rudely jerked out upon the
ground. "I'll go on foot. It's impos-
sible to be carried he muttered, his
face convulsed with pain. An orderly
took him by the arms and started to lead
him up the slope when he, too, slipped
and went down, the officer falling on
him. Then rope was tied about kuro.

Experiment on Life Origin.

Bit by bit Prof. Jacques Loeb is pro
crossing in the experiments to ascertain
the secret of the origin OF life. He has
lust issued an announcement at Berke-
lev. Cal, regarding chemical methods he
has employed in maturing eggs of a
moliusk. the Lolita Gigantea. The re-
suit of Prof. Loeb's experiments with
the eggs of the mollusk have caused him
to revise theories previously held. The
experiments include the testing of the
effects of hyperronic sea water upon
molusk eggs. with view to determining
how fertilization might be accomplished,
and also to determine whether the ac-
ton of the sea water and its effect upon
the eggs are Of physical or "A chemical
nature. Prof. Loeb formerly believed
the action was physical, but has changed
his opinion.

Jack London. the well known author has placed himself in a somewhat embarrassing position and it may be necessary for him to re-marry Miss Charmion Kittredge to whom he was welded yesterday.
 The last legislature of Illinois passed a law forbidding the marriage of di- vorced people in this State until one year after the divorce had been In full effect The same law is in effect in California, in which State Mir. Lon- don was divorced from his first wife. The initial decree in this case was is- sued November r, 1904, and the final decree November IS, 1905 Mir. Lon- don assuming that the year commenced from the issuance of the preliminary decree considered himself free to mar ry. It is declared by lawyers in this city, however. that the divorce is not effective until the final decree is granted and that the one year of pro-
 When the situation was brought home to the author today he said:

The State laws of California provide that a divorcer person may not marry within a year and to en- compass this the court grants divorce and one year later @ decree and it was the decree which was granted last Sat- uraday. As to whether this divorce is amendable to the laws of Illinois is something I do not know, but it seems to be that as the laws of Hi nois did not go in to effect until last July 1t cannot affect my case.'
