DREAM OF SCIENCE REALIZED.

A dream of science, which has been
cherished for ages has recently come
So close to realization that the world
has had a start, as it were. The ari-
fetal production of life, at which eX-
perimcnters have aimed, almost since
men first entered into any extended
knowledge of the elements ana of
chemical action, appears 10 have been
all but accomplished, and. while the
man who has conducted the expert
mcnts which have shown such re
narkablc results, makes no loud ac-
claim over his discovery, he points to
the work he has done and we can but
wonder al IT,
Artificial plants have been produced
in test tubes by Professor 1.educ Of
Nantes, France, as well as artificial
seawood produced from an artificial
cell. also the culture of n single artih-
cial grain, Artificial organs showing
mushroom shape are of tremendous
interest as well as the liquid cell
tissues.
This French scientist, professor in
l'Ecole de Medicine de Nantes" has
obtained these curious artificial
plants, cells and tissues from cane
sugar. copper sulphate and potassium
Fcrrocyanide, and although they are
composed Of inert matter, these inter-
csting objects sprout, branch and
nourish themselves like actual living
organisms.
The writer discusses at length the
work of Professor Leduc along this
line and some very interesting photo
graphs are reproduced in illustration.

EAST INDIAN GARB.
The CIo,h Woven into Required shapes
and Sizes.


In America, in China and in most
countries Of the world. with the oXccp-
ton of India, the clothing used is wo-
ven in wholesale lenths and the tailor
does the rest according to consular
report. In India the cloth is woven into
tho required shapes and Sizes and but
rarely cut to Mt the body. Dhooties,
sarris and chadars, the three great
Indian cloths, are used as they are
woven and arc not touched by needle
or scissors. The Mohammedans usually
wear garments requiring the use of
tailor, but the great bulk of the Hindu
population, either from motives Of
economy or from aversion to depart
from established customers, prefer
simple loom made garments, and to
many orthodox IIindus made-up clothes
are an atromination. The majority of
the population, therefore, still wear
the dhootie and the sarric though the
upper classes are day by day gradual
" assimilatinC the customs of the Mo-
hammcdan and European races. and
around the large cities this Is Tcry
noticeable. An instance of this is the
fact that for a certain class the cos

poan upward; that is, bare legs and n
loin cloth. finished off with European

In India there is more variety and
intermixturc OF styles than is to be
found anywhere else on earth, and 10

wears just rs little Of just as much
clothing as he chooses. and of what
ever style or pattern that suits his in

THE DOG UNDER THE WAGON.

Come, wife" said old farmer Gray.
Put on your things, it's market day;
And wen be off 20 the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down.
Spot, no we'll leave old Spot behind"
And Spot ne barkcd.an Spot he whined
And soon made UP his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
A way they went at good round pace,
And joy came into the farmers face,
Poor Spot said he, did want to come,
But awful glad he's left at home.
He'll guard the barn and guard tho cot,
And keep the cattle out of the lot"
I'm not So sure Of that" thought Spot,
The dog under the wagon.
The farmer, all his produce Sold
And got his pay in yellow gold;
Home through tho lonely forest. bark,
Not sound is heard as the eve grows
dark
4 robbor sprang from behind a tree,
Your money or else your life" says he;
The moon was yet up, but he didn't see
The dog under the wagon
Spot nc'er barked and Spot ne'er whined,
But quickly caught the thief behind,
He dragged him down to the miro and
dirt,
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground
The robbcr uttered not a sound,
While his hands and feet were tightly
bound
And tumblod into tho wagon.
80 Spot saved the farmers life.
The farmers money, the farmers wife
And now a hero grand and gray.
A silver collar he wears to-day.
Among his friends, among his foes.
And everywhere his master goes.
He follows on his horny toes,
The dog under the wagon.

SOME BRAVE BOYS.

After the breakfast most Of the
statements upon which this accident is
based were taken. They are remarkable
quite as much for what they do not toll

mention Of tho terrible hardships every
one OF tho boys endured. Throughout
the fire not only was there snow

Cayuga Lake. but the cold was intense.
The following is the only reference to
this condition: The cold was fearful,
