MAKING ARTIFICIAL "LlFE.'
Radio -organisws Produced by scien- tiflc Chemical Proc
 Assos.

Scientists have been recently inter- Ssted in the announcement that Prof. !. Butler Burke. of the Cavendish La boratory, Cambridge, England, has succeeded in creating, by chemical re- actions certain living bodies of an ex- tremely low form, which he calls "radi- obes."
 Prof. Burke, says the Technical World, treated a solution of gelatine with bromide of radium, and the radi- obes resulted. A radiobe appears first as "the minutest vig.ole speck;;" and it grows to two dots, then | dumb bell shaped appearance, later more like frogs spawn.
 But is it really alive? On this point hear Prof. Burke himself:
 "The continuity of structure, asslm- ilation and growth, and then subdi- vision, together with the indicated structure as shown in a few of the best specimens, suggest that they are entitled to be classed among living things, in the sense in which we use the words.
 They are, obviously, altogether out side the beaten track of living things. T. Thus the gap, apparently insuper- able, between the organic and morgan ic worlds, seems, however roughly. to be bridged over by the presence of these radio-organic organisms" ;"

} Old Ireland and the
 Hoped For New Ireland
Fertile Land and Kindly Climate Civilization and Missionary Work Social and Political Discord
 -kish Revival

N wonder if people generally think,
 as l did. of the Emerald Isle as a land \ of bog and barrens, land too poor to
 support people largely agricultural. But the Emerald Isle, as the name sug- gests and little study shows, has a
 soil cl remarkable fertility, Jew coun- tries have so large percentage of area
 adaptable for cultivation" Climate,
 too, is most favorable. In manufac-
 lures of wool and linen and spirits the Irish have long been famous. Why,
 then, had the isle become to be looked
 upon as famine-blighted, desolate, a
 place to be deserted by its sons and daughters?
 Two causes may be named as pri-
 mary ones, perhaps we would better say three; the Irish system of agricul- turs. bad tillage and overcroppfng; Eisubjugation by England with the por- tioniLg out of fertile territory to Eng llishHlen and the oppression of native industries by the conquerors; and the fact that Ireland is made up of peoples l widely different in temperament and religion.
 To be sure, the comparative isolation Iof tie island has resulted in what the lentomologist calls population rela-
 lively simple in composition; but the
 elements were sufficiently diverse to
 lead to long continued social and po-
 litical discord, resulting in weakness
 end ruin.
 Let us try to get picture of the land
 and people. Ireland is described as
 basin shaped, the mountains on the
 coas:. giving a misleading idea of
 rugged land; the central area wide depression in which occur many bogs and lakes; to the north and south the country is broken. Of the favorable soil and climate we have spoken. A rich land and beautiful one 1t was.
 but in the course of time became
 known as good land Go leave.
 Many names the island has been
 known by. In the Celtic 1t was 1nis-

fron England by a heavy duty; during the eighteenth century Irish agricul- tural products were excluded.
 Things frightened considerably dur ing the Napoleonic wars and the early part of the nineteenth century is marked by movement toward the di- vision of the great estates into small holdings. But the potato blight of 1S45 brought affairs to a crisis there came an end to the experiment of small holdings; the landlords went in for pasturage, made a change from tillage and eyicted the tenants.
 Now we have the abonination of desolation, the evicted peasants nov ing from the arable lands to barrens on which no landlord had jealous eye, famine and starvation following the crowding thereto. And this is the era of emigration, the young sons and daughters of old Erin taking ship for the promised land of America, to earn quickly the big dollars and send back money to bring over the poor old fath- CT and mother left behind on the wretched lands. ss'niel sA1nf
 Though emigration relieved the dis tress. other relief had to be given. And we fino England battling with the Irish question, we find starving, desperate people. Acts were passed relating to compensation, fair rents, land improve ment, purchase by the peasant. Boards were created to give speedy relief to aid the people in what were listed as "congested districts" and to improve conditions. In the western district of Connaught to-day there is an extreme of need; the small holdings not fertile enough to supply the wants of the fam fly, the men obliged to leave their homes months at time to work in the harvest fields of Scotland and Eng land.
 We must make mention of the iff- por:ant part the home industries all

'now), M Haverty. in his History of Ireland" tells us by the Greeks the lanu was called "Irne. probably from the vernacular name of Fire, by ,inflec- ton Erin; whence, also, no doubt its Latin name of Juyerna: Plutarch calls 1t Ogygia. or the ancient land; the early Roman writers called fl Hiber- mia, probably from its Iberian inhabi- tant. and the later Romans and medi- aevaI writers Scotia, and sometimes Hibernia; and finally the name of Ire land was formed by the Agglo-Nor- mans from its native name of Fire" The earliest inhabitants are supposed to have been short dark men, savage hunters and fishermen. Next cam a higher grade, the Firbolgs. these a.so low of stature and swarthy folk. Next after these it is thought there came Scandinavian invaders. big, blonde, blua-eyed. But Ireland seems special ly laid out by kindly nature for the pro;eotion of a weaker race struggling in the grip of stronger" and 1t would appear there was no wholesale exter- imitation of the Firbolgs. their influ- ence was felt in the successive peo- ples. Presently came the Milesians or ascotI," who oyerran the land and rave it the name of Scotia. In the fifth century St. Patrick made his hero- ic attempt to convert the natives to Christianity and century later we find this faith firmly established in the land.
 Extensive monasteries were estab- ,ishca in Ireland. civilization and learning cultivated with zeal. Mission aries went forth from Ireland, students from England ard the continent came over to Ireland to receive instruction in her institutions. Comparing Ire land and England in those days. this sumrrsry is reached: If those who dwell nearer to the mainland of Eu- rops held advantages over those of the sar.her island, they took nothing from sbsm fin the earlier generations. but were overleaped and passed by when she first movement of Christianity and Christian culture into the vest began. and st wss Ireland. not Enslsnd. for snree centuries which nourishsd the uurr.. faith and highest civilization Of the age

1155 there follow centuries of struggle between the Irish and English; war, confscation, religious persecution, op- precision.
 English subjugation of Ireland meant the giving out of large holdings to Englishmen, the growth of class of nonresident landlords, at variance with their tenants, hated by their ten- ants. Both agriculture and what manufacturers there were, were blight ed. Prior to the time of Charles II. Irish woolens had found ready market abroad but the navigation acts in the reign of Charles I. and II. cut Ireland of from the British market; and the foreign markets were lost by acts in the reign of William III. The Irish woolen manufactures were excluded

TOLD OF FRONTIERS. One Who Warned Against the Vil- lain and One Who Was
 . Hunter.

The ex-prompter of the Comedie Franchise had committed suicide. The poor man had been an inmate of Sainte Anne's lunatic asylum for some time. At half-past eight o'clock each evening he fancied he heard the three traditional knocks which, in a French theater, herald the going up of the curtain. He would become very excited and declare that the company was waiting for him. What will M. Mounet.Sully say?" he would exclaim.
 Stories are told of other prompters. There was one good man in sub urban theater whose own private troubles were revived every time the innocent heroine was carried off by the Villain of the piece. "Ah, the scoundrel!" he would shout from his box. Gan they not see what he is doing?" He would give audible warn. ings to the husband to keep his wife clear from all intrigues against her fidelity. These remarks "hors texte were a little embarrassing to the actors and actresses upon the stage. who were never quite certain which belonged to the book and which was the invention of the ''souffieur.'
 Another member of this humble profession was great Nimrod. His days were spent in shooting. On many occasions he arrived at the the. ater with his bag~or cartridges and ground game. In an evil moment he brought also his retriever. The ami. nal crouched quietly enough at his feet in the little box below the stage. until he was agitated by the behavior of the hero and commenced to bark furiously. It was pointed out to the dog owner that he was paid to prompt and not to bark. and the spaniel came no more to the theater.

PEACEMAKER ACTS.
Roosevelt Seeks to Avoid
 Great Labor War.
PLEA TO MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Agreement Made to Call Another Con- vention of COntending Parties on March 15, When . Settlement
 May Re Made.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President Roosevelt has intervened to prevent if he can the national calamity of gen eral coal strike. The following letter sent to President Mitchell of the Unit ed Mine Workers and to Francis l.. Robbins, president of the Pittsburg Coal company and chairman of the bi- luminous coal operators committee, brought about the announcement of | joint national convention of bitumi- nous miners and operators to meet at Indianapolis March 15 for renewal of negotiations:
 T note with very grave concern the failure in your late convention on the joint interstate agreement to come to a basis of settlement of the bituminous mining scale of wages. You in this business have enjoyed a great indus trial peace for many years, thanks to the joint trade agreement that has re- suited in the action of your successive conventions.
 "A strike such as is threatened on April 1 is menace to the peace and general welfare of the country. urge you to make further effort to avoid such calamity.
 "Yo,i and MT. Robbins are joint schafrfiien of the joint committee of the National Civic federation, and it seems to me that this imposes an additional duty upon you both and gives an addi- tional reason why each of you should join fin making further effort"
 It was Mitchelrs diplomacy that led the president to act AS the miners leader returned to his headquarters at the Ashland House, New York. from a conference with Robbins and other rep resentatives of both sides his manner was exultant. His eyes glowed, his cheek was pale and his hand and voice trembled as he read the presidents let ter to the reporters. Then he rushed upstairs to join Mrs. Mitchell, who had arrived from Spring Valley, Ill. C

For men who, in the way of braces, like something rather more elaborate than galluses of homespun. such as lately were presented to Speaker Can non, there are provided gold-mounted suspenders, and these can be had in a variety of styles and mountings.
 The web of the gole mounted sus- penders is. of course. of silk, and for the most part of white silk. but they can be had in any color desired.
 Some of the gold raountings are ex- tremely simple. The gold buckles and end pieces on some of the smooth mar row hard finished webs. for instance. are as plain as the white metal fittings On pair of suspenders that would cost 50 cents.
 Others have buckles that are some what larger and more ornamental in shape. and either embossed or en- grsved with a pattern. Some of these are set with small sapphires and some with diamonds.
 These gold susDender buckles are  made of I4 karat gold. 50 that they will withstand wear. for i; is not the custom of men sho wear saspenders of this sort, when the webs wear out. to toss them into the scrap basket.
