latter, seeing his danger, turned
and grappled with Estilli in hand

Each was so powerful and quicn,
the other could not use his weapon:

ground, twisting and turning like
two immense serpents struggling
for the mastery. At last, Estill's
broken arm-shattered by an
Indians bullet, four months before,

the Indian, with yell of triumph,
plunged his knife into his body,
killing him instantly. That instant,
he too fell dead across the body of

Robert Adam Q728-92) was to Eng

said of him that he could not help

Of the English people who dwell In
Adam houses prize them as rare jew
els.
Adam introduced into English ar
chitecture lightness, delicacy Of
touch and charm of proportion which
it had never before possessed and
which gave his name to that splendid
period of architecture the style Of
which lasted over century. Every
thing in house, from the panel in q
ceiling to the vases and gilt wood trt-
pods and branches for lights, from
hangings at the windows to a wom-
ans 'hairpin holder, Adam designed
himself 500 IS.
Adam got his rich, beautiful and
distinctive style from the ruins Of the
Emperor Diocletian, at Spalato. AS a
finish to interiors he conceived the
idea of using figures In relief upon
walls, colored and adorned according
to RaphaePs Stanze painted fiat upon.
the walls of the Vatican. His idea
was as bold as it's result was beauti-
full. He also adopted Pompeiian styles
Of decoration.
"Adam was artist as we'll as archi-
tect, and his walls, ceilings and inte-
rior adornments are marvels Of har-
monious colors," says an architect.
"He employed no less personages than
Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi to paint
many of the panels and medallions let
into his ceilings, and it was his habit
to have carpets woven to match the
pattern overhead and harmonic with
the color there employed. The key
note of Adams style is movement
combined with perfect artistic fitness,
and it is peculiar for its grace and
stateliness. New York Tribune.

And then, at the thought Of earning

1t is interesting to collect certain of

the titles of books. Thus the old farm

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

made by messenger, mistakes of diff
ferent sort may occur. An excitab BILE
boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and

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 1t 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

REDI's EXPERIMENT..
Out Of II Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory. sss3

Out Of II Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory. .s3
It was 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, a 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
gots were bred within dead and putre-
flying substances. Redi, taking 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
ser the manner of their kind, in the de-
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever, kept them from Erecting 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
on uninterruptedly without single
maggot appearing in its substance.
On this childishly 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 50 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
ism.-Brooklyn Eagle.
