distinction. The proprietor of a

of his agents to make an investiga-
ton, as she would be a valuable ac-
QUESTION to his museum. The agent
piled her with questions regarding
her age. He asked her
"Auntie, do you remember George
Washington? ?"
"Does remember George Wash

Great Mine Disaster.

Houghton, Mich, Dec. Gone of
the worst mining accidents in the
history of this State occurred last
night when thousands of tons of
dynamite exploded in the Manard
mine. The shaft is completely
choked and it will probably be days
before the entombed men can be
reached. 1t is believed that forty
men were blown to pieces. They
were descending in cage and were
directly opposite the point where
the dynamite was stored when the
explosion occurred. No trace of
them has been found. No word has
been received from the men working
below and it is feared there have
been heavy casualties. 1t is impos.
sible as yet to ascertain the number
of men ~ho were at work in the
mine when the explosion occurred.

Produce. Plant. Chem,oa,,x.


The chemical creation Of live plants
Is scientific feat which Professor
Stephane Leduc Of the Nantes Medical
school claims to have accomplished.
The professor has been experiment.
ing in search Of the secret Of life for
ten years. His process Is thus briefly
described: From experiments with So
lutions which were good conductors OF
electricity, he discovered force which
he describes as osmotlc pressure. The
property Of this force is to animate in
organic matter dissolved In liquid,
and by this means, Professor Leduc
says, he was able to bring into exist
ence an organism identical in every re-
spect with living tissue.
Tho professor gradually created artl-
fetal cells, which lived, reproduced
and multiplied to an extraordinary ex-
tent. From these, through long proc
ess of evolution, he has actually pro-
duced, according to his report, live
plants three or four inches long
