c3MMoN ORIGIN OF ALL LIFE.
eiolosists Of To-day Now Are Inclined
to That Belief.

Biologists having failed to prove
any case OF spontaneous generation.
frof. Svante Arrhenius Is attracted by
the idea that all life has had q COM
mon origin and has spread from the
single source to many worlds. The
discovery Of the pressure Of light has
added probability to panspermy.
which teaches that life germs are
conveyed through interstellar space.

fixed star. but with the pressure Of
radiation as motive power the jour.
neys might be reduced to 20 days and
nine thousand years respectively.
Even these seem long intervals for
germs and spores to survive the dry
ness, cold and light. Recent investiga-
tons indicate. however, that some
germs are proof against any cold, that
the action Of light is oxidation and Is
absent In vacuum, that the loss OF
vitality in the cold Of space would be
one thousand million times less rapid
than at so degrees Fahrenheit, and
that desiccation would be no greater
in millions OF years than in one day
at so degrees. Hence 1t may be that
interstellar space is traversed at
enormous speed by living germs that
develop life on reaching favorable
planets

AFRICAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Fixing Social status of the Bride.
Question of DOvvry and Divorce.

The marriage customs of West and
Southwest Africa are in many cases Pc
cuIiar. They differ. OF course. IN dit-
ferent tribes. but have broad lines II
common.
A coastal tribe always considers itself
superior 70 an inland tribe. and even
its meanest member claims 20 rank
higher than the most powerful man Of an
Up-country tribe A man may marry any
woman he likes Of any tribe. II being held
that he gives her his own status. what
ever that may be- bat It is almost un-
heard OF for a woman 10 marry beneath"
her. As a result some Of the women OF
the most superior coast tribes. like the
Mpongwe. look 10 marriage with white
men and frequently attain 10 IL
The parents on both sides rule abso-
iUtely IN the matter Of marriage be-
tween natives. First the wouId-be
bridegroom goes empty-handed 10 obtain
the consent Of the brides father Then
he goes again with Sits, and the father
calls in other members Of the family to
view The gifts. On the third visit he
carries trade gin, a sufficiently poison
Gus compound. generally from Hamburg
IN the old days Il was palm toddy. or
wine
On this occasion. says the London
Standard. he pays over an installment Of
the dowry- On the fourth visit he takes
his parents with him and is permitted
to see the girl herself When next he
calls his prospective mother-in-law pro
vides feast for himself and his relatives
the host and hostess eating nothing. but
taking a hand in the drinking. Finally
the man goes with gifts and the balance
Of the dowry and takes the woman away
On arrival at his village she is welcomed
with singing and a peculiar dance called
'nakanja-"
For three months the bride is not re-
quired to DO any hard work but after
that she buckles TO with his other wives
at gardening ard carrying burdens.
Poly gamy is general and the number Of
a mans wives limited only by his re-
sources in the matter Of paying dowries.
The nan may divorce his wife whenever
he chooses and for almost any reason
But il is rare for a woman 10 be able to
obtain divorce at her own wish Divorce
entails the return Of the dowry.
