Life From Chemicals.

Paris. Sept. 6.-Remarkable expert. ments in the chemical development of life have been recently effected by Prof De Lage, of the Sorbonne. In his laboratory at Roseoff. in Brittany, Prof De Lage placed the unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin and the star fish in sea water, adding solution of sugar with few drops of ammonia and tannln In about an hour segmenta. tion, which is the first sign of life, began and the eggs produced larvae. The great majority of these larvae soon died. but Prof. De Lage, by con. stant and minute care. brought four of the urchins and two of the starfish through the larvae stage, and they are now healthy growing specimens.

Governor Magoon Discovers Con- spiracy Against the Provisional
 Government at Havana.
MOVEMENT BACKED BY NEW YORK MONEY
Walt Street Capitalists Said to Be al Bottom of Plct-Financia Agent Re ported to Have Spent Four Days in Havana Recently--Attempted to use Newspaper.

Havana. Sept 27 Financed by New York capital professional soldiers Of fortune hare engaged in a conspiracy to start a revolution against the pro yisional government of Cuba.
 Gov. Magoon has been aware for several days past that certain indiyid uals were conspiring against the gov ernment, but he did not attach much importance to the matter, owing to the fact that these persons were under constant surveillance, and that the Gu ban rural guards and the American forces in the island had been so as signed as to be able to crush any such movement in a few hours time
 There is reason to believe that this conspiracy has been going on for sev- eral weeks past. The recent miniature uprisings near Santiago and Cana buant were due to too great enthusi- asm on the part of some of the parti. sans in the movement, who failed to await the signal from the chiefs in Havana
 It is persistently stated here that the money 10 finance this revolution was furnished from Wall street. There are reports current that q certain Am erican who was in Cuba recently and spent four days in Havana. is connect cd with the conspiracy as financial agent. The movements of this man were mysterious.
 There is every reason to believe that not more than one general or other prominent officer who was party to the pact with Secretary Taft at the conclusion of the last revolution is connected with this conspiracy Gen. eral Pino Guerra, General Jose Miguel Gomez and the other Cubans who led the revolution against former Presi- dent Palma are earnestly opposed to this movement, and stand ready to take the field with the government forces should an outbreak actually oe- cur

The Auditorium Skating Rink was
about the busiest place in town Satur-
day night from the number of people
that were there, both skaters n spec
tators. There were 10 pairs of skates
rented out during the evening which
means there were 10 skaters on the
floor and something over 300 people
were in the building. During the ev-
ening Gus Womack n Sam Sea
graves, two expert skaters contested
in a half mile race going around the
rink ten times. This distance was
made by Womack in two minutes.
Seagraves had the misfortune to fall
twice thereby causing MIN to loose
the race. This was very much enjoy
ed by those present. as it is some
thing new for Roswell to have races
on skates. DR.. Veal hopes to have
more of them in the near future.

The transformation of the Brulk

land was raw prairie without even SO

pleted has a flow of fourteen inches
and provides enough water TO irrigate

the orchard was set out by plowinl
open burrows in the turf. In these the
trees We're placed and were irrigated
before any other preparation whatev.
er had been made. Since then the
orchard ground has been broken and
thoroughly cultivated.
The trees planted were two year old

ISOLATION was organized in northwest

existence has ~conclusively shown that
the average mortality rate among wo-
men compares favorably with and
does not exceed that of the male sex
The charter membership of the asso

has been conservative but steady. the
present membership being $4,000 rep
