DINING TABLES.
The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man.

The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man.
The first dining table was probably
just a block Of stone or n log OF wood,
but even primitive man must soon
have discovered that these devices did
not provide for the comfortable dis
posal of his legs and have set about
taxing all his ingenuity to invent some
thing else 1t Is probable that as the
result of his cogitations IL rough hewn
piece OF board supported on two big
stones came into fashion among the
elite In these far prehistoric times
The early trestle table which was
used in the beginning of the fifteenth
century consisted Of a parallelogram of
wood, fashioned into board, resting
upon two or more pedestal-like sup
ports. And we have n Renaissance of
this movable kind of table In the ex-
preston, a seat at the board" today,
while that of taking the chair" Is OBJ
ylously n survival of the time when a
chair was the place of honor reserved
for the master of the house or given by
the grand selgneur to the guest whom
he wished to honor the other diners
sitting upon rude benches placed at
the side of the table.
One can imagine the inventor seated
at the head of his new dinner table,
clad in his best bearskin and surround
ed by select and admiring company
of his ntimates. who ate roast flesh
literally off the festive board and who
drank the first toast at this first prime
val dinner party in his honor In cool
water from II stream hard by. From
this stage to planks resting on rude
trestles would be an easy transition,
and civilization had of course made
considerable progress before the sup
ports and the board We're Joined rs one

RAOIUM AND LIFE.
The Experiments That Have Been
Made and What They show.


Made and What They show.
Does it appear that 4 one has pre-
pared from stelillZed bouillon by the
action of radiGm or in any other way
living organisms capable Of multiply
ing either by repeated subdivision or
by means of spores or capable of pro-
ducing definite fermentive changes
such as those which we associate with
30 many of the organisms hitherto in
vestlgated? The answer jumps straight
to the lips. No such discovery has been
recorded nor has anything been OBJ
served which would Justify us in sup
posing that we are on the verge of
making such discovery at the present
moment.
The fact is that, though much has
been written and among other things
quite big book, very little has really
been accomplished up to the present.
A few preliminary experiments sug-
gested by the marvellous qualities OF
radium have been made, and that is
all. Those experiments and their re-
suits, which are not at all revolution
ary. may be described in half a dozen
sentences. Mr.. Burke finds that when
small quantities Of radium bromide or
chloride are scattered ON the surface of
carefully sterllized bouilIon well pro
tected from the air In closed vessels
minute objects appear in the bouillon
after one or two days.
These objects have been watched,
and Mr.. Burke reports that after their
first appearance they develop into two
dots, next present the appearance of
dumbbells and subsequently OF bis
cults. afterward take on forms which
remind an observer of frogs spawn
and finally divide, lose their Individual
lty and become transformed into MI
mute crystals.
These bodies, which Mr.. Burke very
prematurely describes as cultures" do
not multiply. as living organisms
should do, when they are transferred
to fresh tubes of sterilized bouillon,
though. as might be expected, they
give some slight evidence that the ac-
tivity of the radium salt Is not quite
exhausted by It's first action. and they
are soluble In water.
Now, 1t would be dogmatc TO say
that radium will not generate life in
organic matter, but clearly Mr.. Burke
gives us little or no reason to suspect
that 1t does SO at present.-Cornhlll
