shohola, Pa Has Curiosity That
Travelled With Peary.
The caboose with the "farthest
north" record is now resting in dig
nified retirement at Shohola. Pa. Ii
is one Of the show places of that com
munity.
When Peary was preparing his ex-
pedition of about twelve years ago he
obtained from the Erie railroad one
of those dumpy little cabooses that
manage to shelter In some marvel
lous manner crew of five or six
men. This was put on board the
Windward, his vessel. as temporary
deckhouse.
The people Of Shohola know more
about this expedition than they do
about the one on which Peary found
the pole. They will tell that the dis
mantled car was used as shelter by
Peary and his companions during the
winter night which they spent at
Htah. So the car evidently holds the
record for journey TO the northern
latitudes.

WHITE BIRCH STILL GROWING

Demands Of Spool Manufacturers Fail
to Stop Growth.
Notwithstanding the inroads of the
spool manufnetory, the supply Of pa.
per birch in the United siates Is be.
ieved By the forest service to be
greater today than It was 200 years
ago, and there Il no visible sign of
extinction.
So far as is known. no one connect
ed with the forest service can youch
from personal or official knowledge
what the country's supply WIS two
centuries ago. but the bureau finds
much consolation In the comparative
estimate OF its experts.
The paper birch, often called white
or canoe birch. affords material for
most Of the spools made in the Unit
ed States. Maine turns out SO0.o0O,-
600 spools yearly. Few industries
waste more wood in proportion to the
quantity used than spoolmaking, yef
the supply continues ample.

HUMAN EMBRYO FORMED
BY CHEMICAL COMBINATION.
Mexican Scientist Reported to Have
Succeeded In Creating Man.

The Mexican consul at Trieste re-
ports that Professor Herrera, Mexi.
can scientist, has succeeded In form
ing human embryo by chemical COM
bination.
Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus
Paracelsus Bombastus of Hohonheim,
known for short as Paracelsus, was,
SO far as is known, the first scientist to
declare that human beings could be
made by artificial means. He even
said that he could make "homun-
culus'' himself, but he said a good
many other things which, even If
credence were given to his statements
in the sixteenth century, appear to the
men of science of today wildly fantas-
tic.
Recently the best known experiments
In the line of the artificial generation
of living embryos have been those of
Professor jacques Loeb, who by his
experiments with sea urchins at Pa
cific Grove, Cal, created sensation in
the scientific world a few years ago.
His first feat was the artificial fer
tilization of the eggs of these animals
and the production almost down to the
last essential detail of the phenomena
of normal development in the eggs,
which had been made to develop by
chemical means.
Professor Loeb next upset the hith-
erto existing theories of biologists by
finding a means to make the eggs Of
sen urchins susceptible to cross ferti-
lization. By first heating the eggs with
special solutions he was able to by
bridlze different families and orders of
marine animals.
Professor Loeb's activities in re-
search have been devoted almost en-
tirely to the study of the origin of
fife.

RUSSIAN CANAL TO JOIN
CASPIAN AND BLACK SEAS.
Greatest Inland Waterway In World
10 Cost e7,ooo,ooo.

The Russian government is prepar-
Ing to spend more than SCI, 900, 900 in
building the greatest inland waterway
in the world-to connect the Baltic sea
with the Caspian and Black seas. The
completion of this vast project is ex-
peeted to revelutionize economic con
ditions in the cars dominions in Eu-
rope.
There are two steps in the under.
taking. The first Is to join the river
Drfna with the Dnieper at Vitebsk and
Orsha. The second is to connect the
Drina with the Volga, using the rivers
Mesha, Obsha, Warusa, Moskva and
Okla. The total length of the route
viii be 1,525 miles.
Moscow, which is the great CONNER
cial center of Russia, will be connect
ed by cheap means of transportation
with all the rich provinces of the em-
pire. and the whole of central Russia
will be put In easy touch with the
seas both north and south.
The Volga now carries three-fifths of
all Russian inland commerce. There
are regularly on It more than 2,2oo
steamers and $500 other vessels carry
ing passengers and freight. with to-
tai capacity Of nearly 100000 tons
Russia UP to the present has never
done much to improve her waterways
She has spent in the last half century
$4,000, 100000 on her railways and only
$40,O00.O00 on her rivers and canals.
although the waterways now carry as
much traffic as the railroads.
The annual cost of repairs and main
tenance to the across Russia waterway
Is estimated at $6.500,O00.
