REpps EXPERIMENT.
Out of It Grew the Great Fabric Of the
CORN Theory.

CORN Theory.
1t was a fixed belief of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
into existence in spontaneous fash
ion, to which allusion has often been
made. The true beginning of the germ
theory arose out Of ludicrouSly SIM
pie observation made by Redi, Flor
entine physician, about the middle of
the seventeenth century. He debated
with his confreres In Florence the
question of the origin of the maggots
appearing In decomposing meat. The
old view held, Of course, that the mag
COTS were bred within dead and ,putre
flying substances. Redi, taking a piece
of meat, covered the mouth of the jar
in which it was contained with piece
of fine gauze He beheld the flesh flies,
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft
err the manner of their kind. In the de-
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the surface of the
gauZe and the maggots there Matched
out, while the decay of the meat went
Oh uninterruptedly without single
maggot appearing in It's substance.
On this chldishly simple experiment
the great fabric of the germ theory of
today was founded. for if the law of
universal parentage applied to the case
OF maggots and meat it was clear, ar
gued Redi. that it must apply univer-
sally. Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true, and so to-
day. when our attention Is focused upon
germs or microbes so minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds of
thousands of them on the surface Of a
postage stamp. we again come face to
face with Redi's first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from a preceding and parental organ

MISTAKES IN TITLES.
sLove's Discourses" Has Nothing to
Do With cupid's Franks.

It is interesting to collect certain of
the instances of mistakes In regard to
the titles Of books Thus the old farm
or who asked for "Edgworth on Irish
Bulls got no doubt something he did
not expect, and the dainty youth who
applied for Loves Discusses did
not really wish volume of sermons
by Christopher Love. If application is
made by messenger. mistakes Of diff
ferent sort may occur. An excitable
boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and
Hens Earnest. COMMUNICATE" he
meant Bishop Oxenden's. Similarly by
Warne's Moral Cookery he meant
his Model Cookery" A maid forgot
all about the title of the book she had
been sent for except that it was
something like tomato SOUP" She
was served with RED Pottage."
It may have been a fault of pronun-
citation on the part of the purchaser
who asked for rubber bands that he

GoIden Horseshoes.

Roman W: tiers inform US that Com
modus caused the hoofs of his horse to
be gilded. Nero when he undertook
short journeys was always drawn by
mules that had silver shoes. and those
of his wife, Poppaea. had shoes Of
gold. From passage in "Dio Cassius"
there is reason to think that the upper

merely a fulfillment of another feature
Of the Divine Plan to make the bless
ing Of all mankind the deeper and
broader.
By virtue of keeping the Law, Jesus
would have had the right to earthly
perfection for himself, eternal life and
happiness. He also would have been
heir of all the things that Adam pos
sessed and lost He might. therefore,
have established an earthly empire
and. by wise laws and regulations, he
might have done much for human up
lift-the very thing which people today
are wanting to bring about. But his
subjects would still have been under
the Divine condemnation Of death. He
would merely have been the ruler, in
structor, Of fallen, dying men. Gods
promise of blessing meant more than
this And in harmony with it our Lord
Jesus did not keep his earthly rights,
but surrendered them, sacrificed them,
laid them down on our behalf. The
laying down of these earthly rights
was finished at Calvary. Since this

Thus when Jesus was raised from
the dead on the third day he was no
longer a man, but spirit being, par
taker of the Divine nature. far above
angels. More than this, he had his
earthly rights which he had sacrificed,
and these POW constituted an asset or
thing of value which he possessed and
which he might bestow upon others.
He laid down his earthly rights that
he might receive life again on a high
plane and have right to giUe the sac
riffced earthly perfection, hOnors and
pri0iIe0es to Others. 1t was in this
manner that the Lord provided for the

IN SCHOOL HOUSE FIGHT

Muskogee, Okla, Oct 26. - Barri-
eaded in a country schoolhouse full of
children, Jack Willis fought with Of
icers until he was shot to death, but
not until he had probably mortally
wounded Tuck" Ketcher, a deputy
constable. The fight took place near
Sleeper, Cherokee county.
A warrant had been issued for Willis
for disturbing the peace. He went to
the schoolhouse with two companions.
All of them had been drinking. it is
said, and the teacher, Mrs. Snyder,
sent word to Constable u. G. Wilson
When Wilson and Tucker appeared
at the schoolhouse, Willis opened fire
on Ketcher with a revolver and wound
ed him at the first shot. AS Ketcher
fell. the muzzle of his shotgun stuck
in the ground and exploded, crack
ing one barrel. The children fed
through the windows of the school
house while Willis, on the inside, kept
up fusillade at the officers Ketcher
rolled over on his side, reloaded the
remaining barrel of his gun and kept
up the fire on Willis. Meantime, Con
stable Wilson crawled close to the
building and getting an idea Of where
Willis was standing from the reports
of his revolver, fired through the wall
with a rife killing Willis.
