planted into the living. In such cases ''the prevalent error that everything must be either dead or alive, with no intermediate gradations, becomes pro- nouncedly manifest" Dr. King says.
 What is life? Dr. King rejects Spen- cer's definition, the continuous ad- justment of internal relations with ex- ternal relations" and defines life as a temporary bundle of atoms or ions capable of generating electrical en- ergy for it's own uses. Dr. King be- longs to the school that points to the phenomena of the electric fishes, such as the torpedo, the electric eel, and the skate, which shock and capture their prey by their organic electrical apparatus, and who think they have evidence of electric currents that pro- duce the contraction of the muscles and explain all phenomena Of life in motion. But Spencer's definition of life will serve to account for the con- tinuous adjustment of groups of cells within the body after it has, as a whole, ceased to react upon it's envir- onment.

Wins the PreIate's Prize.

Archbishop P. J. Ryan of this city owes the children at the orphanage maintained by the Altoona diocese of the Catholic church a treat of candy and they are impatiently waiting for him to return here so he can buy the best.
 The archbishop, who was there at tending the ruby jubilee of Bishop B A. Garvey, was taken to the orphan age at Cresson by thes bishop, and de lighted the little folks with his fa' nous stories.

 The joke was on the archbishop and he graciously promised to send home the candy as soon as he re. turned home.-Philadelp Record.

ently met the mink by accident on the ice He had bitten it through the back, dropped it and walked on.
 Red squirrels will kill more young birds than they can eat. l have known an otter to pile up large lot of suck CTS which he must have caught just for sport Lately a mink got into a bait tank near here and killed nearly all the live baits. The owner estimated that there were several thousands.
 House cats often kill birds which they do not eat; they also often bring in moles, frogs and snakes, which they kill for the fun of killink. I have nc doubt that sable and fisher would kill poultry just as mink and raccoon do if they had the same opportunity.
 Goshawks kill for sport. l have known a goshawk in one morning to kill five ruffed grouse and leave them after tearing them in pieces. Last winter a goshawk was given me which had just killed two large plymouth rock hens.
 It seems as if many animals and birds take as much pleasure in killing things for mere sport as many of our sportsmen and fishermen do.-Foresi and Stream.

flying their soul yearnings for Paris gown creations is unlimited as space itself. The hand-painted, gold-thread- ed glories of their dress opportunities would thrust into shadow all the at tributes of female Aladdin.
 Not all of these women nave butter fly inclinations. Mrs. Hetty Green is the star exception. Her fortune is largely self-built and was not inherit ed or deeded as is the case with most of the 12. A number of them manage their possessions under the careful su- pervision and counsel of trained ad- visers. A few, including Mrs. Potter Palmer, deem the cares of sordid busi- ness minor feature of life, and turn to the signing of checks and docu- ments only when such matters are pressing. Society represents their world, and the financial tumult beyond it's purlieus has no interest for them. Mrs. Russell Sage, perhaps, is better known than the rest for her activities along charitable lines since the death of her husband left at her disposal wealth amounting to many millions. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst also is widely known, particularly in California, for her benefactions in the aid of higher education.

PRINCE BORN IN A GARRETT

To be the birthplace of real prince is a distinction few American towns can claim, but it has lately fallen to the lot of Atlantic City. Five months ago, in a garret room of cheap lodg- ing house, in poverty and amid the humblest surroundings. the heir to one of the oldest titles in the world was born. No royal salutes heralded his birth.
 Besides his title and the pride of race-the family's last cherished pos session-the only heritage in sight for him is poverty and the chance this country gives to all newcomers.
 His father. the present holder of the title, which Is that of Prince of Mount Lebanon, ekes out scanty living by selling colored postcards in a tiny shop-or rather, mere corner of a shop, sublet from it's more prosperous proprietor-far down in the old Bow cry section of the boardwalk.

HOW MUCH OF US IS ALIVE?
Great Deal of the Human Body Has No Vital Quality.

Everybody knows that not every part of the living animal is alive. Bones, horns, tusks, teeth, hoofs, claws, nails and hair are more than half dead. The bile and digestive juices are dead fluids. Milk, chycle and blood itself are dead, despite the Scriptural utterance that "the blood is the life thereof" The blood cor puscles are truly alive, but the plasma in which they float is as inert as any other chemical substance. The lymph and all the special fluids of the body lack the vital quality. The cells alone live.
 The cells do not surely die when the individual dies. In the Popular Science Monthly for September Dr. A. F. A. King notes that the liver con- tinues it's functions when the man has ceased to breathe. The skin of "dead'' persons, their internal organs, bones and joints may be successfully trans

QUEER TRAGEDY OF THE SEA

Details of an extraordinary tragedy of the sea were related recently at a South Shields inquest concerning the death of Capt. Duncan McGregor, of the Newcastle steamer Loughbrow. According to the chief officer and stewa.'e shot were heard in the cap- tain's cabin, and bullets came through the door. In the early morning he made his way to the bridge, and, arm ed with steel spike refused to allow the chief mate to mount the bridge. McGregor was thrown overheard by a heavy lurch of the vessel, but was got on board again, though he never re- gained consciousness. In his cabin two revolvers and 15 discharged car tridges were found. The jury found that the deceased met with an acci- dental death whilst insane, probably through worry

 Yet this little prince, despite his inauspicious entrance into life, can boast lineage more distinguished and twice as long as that of any sov- ereign of Europe, and beside him the daughter of hundred earls is but the Ecerest ptrvenu. His title is traced in direct descent from Mohammed, but his family, that of the Shehabs, was of immemorial nobility when the Arabian prophet founded his new re- ligion.
 The Shehabs were once possessed of wealth that would make even mod ern trust magnate envious, and it is only in the last few generations that the family has been reduced to it's present condition.

Saint Leu-Taverny, village not far from Paris, has been the scene of a sad family tragedy.

The couple seemed very happy, and idol ized their little six-year-old girl. Re gently, however, the mother fell ill, and in a few days she developed symptoms of meningitis.

which, under the laws of New York, otherwise would be imposed. Mrs Harriman's dover rights are subject to no tax whatever, and the remaining two-thirds of the estate to a tax of only one per cent, as against graded classification which in some instances runs to five per cent.
 Besides Mrs Hartman, those who survive the railway king are Mrs. Cor nelia Gerry of Newport, R. I. and Misses Mary and Carol Hartman daughters; and William Averell and Edward Roland Hartman, sons.
 VT IS interesting to view the extent
 of Mrs. Harriman's railway holdings
 which place her well at the head of the worlds rail magnates. In the ab. solute control of the Hartman estate are the Southern Pacific system, the Union Pacific system, the South ern Pacific of Mexico, the San Pedro Los Angeles & Salt Lake, the St. Jo seph & Grand Island, the Illinois Cen. tral and the Central of Georgia Dom inant interest is held in the Baltimore & Ohio; Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day ton, and the Delaware & Hudson. In terest of importance is maintained in the Erie, the New York Central lines Wheeling & Lake Erie and the Wa bash Pittsburg terminal. Minor hold ings are retained in the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe, the Chicago X Northwestern, and the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul.
 The extent of the Hartman money empire further includes securities in the Pacific Mail Steamship Company the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany. The latter corporation now has the largest individual express monop- oly in the republic of Mexico.
 The real estate holdings of the liar riman estate measure less than s5,000, 900. Most of this is represented in the great estate at Arden.
