THE GIRLS, OF COURSE,
But Boys Must Be Brought Within
The Range Of Safety As Well,

CHICAGO, Jan, 80, The problem
81 how to keep young girls from TAX
ing the first step to the easy path OF
ruin is one 81 the grayest questions
before the Philanthropic societies and
church organizations OF Chicago, ae-
cording to the annual report OF the
juvenile court which will shortly be
made public formally, The report
dwells on the girl problem rather
than on the boy problem, inasmuch
as the record Of delinquent cases be-
fore the court last year showed sub
stautial decrease as compared with
1907 in regard to boys, but exhibits
decrease Of few only among de-

DETERMINING SEX.

The conclusion has become in a.
high degree probable that sex is con-
trolled by factors internal to the germ
cells, that the male or female condi-
ton does not arise primarily as a re-
soonse Of the developing germ to
corresponding external conditions
Such conditions may operate to mod
ify the action Of the internal mechan-
ism, but the process OF sex-produc'
ton is fundamentally automatic. In
so far as sex has been traced to pre-
determination Of the fertilized egg, or
to a predestination of the gametes
that unite to produce it, the problem
Of sex production may be said to have
reached a proximate solution. But II
lis perfectly obvious that this solution
/ is proximate only and has but opened
the way TO a more searching analysis
of the nature of sex. Upon what con
ditions within the fertilized egg does
the sexual differentiation depend9 Il
some way, we may now be reason
ably sure, upon the physiological re
actions Of nucleus and protoplasm
but the same may be said Of any 9th
er form Of heredity. The specifi
problem Of sex here merges into tn
larger one OF heredity and differentia
ton in general, and the minor prob
lem acquires broader interes

NATURES BALANCING FEArs.

Near Dome Rock, Colorado, thirty
two miles up Platte Canyon from
Denver, says a writer in the Febru-
ary Wide World Magazine, is sit
uated one Of the most wonderful bal
anced rocks in the world. This rock
Is poised with very little Of its sur
face touching the ground. The most
peculiar feature about the boulder is
the fact that it does not rest on a flat
surface of soft earth, but is perched
out on an incline with very steep
angle The slope on which It stands,
moreover, is OF smooth, solid rock,
too slippery for anyone to walk up,
and how the boulder maintains its
position is a mystery.

The Man Who Eats.

The man who eats does so with the
expectation of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place to crafty his normal appetite at
the most rational expense. These ac-
counts for the steady stream of peo-
pie to and from the portals of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation Of the Palace is founded
immoyeabIy upon the certainty and
amplitude of the service II renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
little. Open day and night Com

Pestilent Fly.

Already in our midst the house
fly, the dirty fly, the typhoid and
cholera infantwn fly, will soon
swarm in thousands and millions un-
less precautions are taken. The
house fly, whom We we're taught in
our childhood to treat with kindness,
has been exposed. Its habits are
filthy. 1t breeds in stables and garb-
age pals, and carries the filth it
reyels in and tracks it across the
sugar, the butter and the beefsteak.
It paddles its horrid feet, gummed
with the vilest rotting matter, in the
baby's milk. The doctors have de-
clared war on the house fly. 1t prob
ably disseminates every disease. 1t
is a nuisance. 1t must be exter-
minated. 1t can be driven out of
every city. In IN age of knowledge,
screens and cheap disinfectants there
is no excuse for flies in any house
hold. Clean up your premises and
report to the health department your
neighbor who does not. Get rid of
breeding places of flies and you will
get rid of flies. The battle is half
won if begun early.-Knoxville SEN

MODERN PHYSICS OF EPlcuRvs.

Let us ask ourselves if, in our
theories of atoms and e%lectrons, we
have really advanced beyond the
ideas Of the ancients. Democritus
certainly advanced a theory of atoms,
and Epicurus taught that an
infinite number of atoms, ex-
listing from all eternity in infinite
space, continually in notion, we're
the elements of that matter of which
the universe is composed. 1t is true
that our modern theory of atoms at
first sight seems to resemble closely
that of these two philosophers for
in the air of a room we suppose bill
lions of atoms; we believe in the
continuity of matter, and therefore
hal all matter is ultimately made
up Of atoms. The aneients' concep-
ton Of atoms was a flight of the
Imagination, but the modern theory
is supported by measurements of
weight, magnitude and speed.-At-
lantic.
