Progressing Very Close to the
Secret of Life.
Physical Function Of Green Plants Re-

Physics Presented by vener-
able Prof. Jungfleiseh.

Paris.-The Academy of Sciences
was startled at a recent meeting by
the announcement Of great step for

istry and physics Of living things. 1t
is not a laboratory creation of life, or
In any way the transformation of in
organic matter into an organism. But
1t is the laboratory production OF
chemical substances which in nature
are produced by living things ex-
clusively-and by the same physical
process -yhich living things employ.
More thar half century ago the
famous Berthelot won his renown as
the greatest living chemist by this
compounding of what naturally are
organic products. from inorganic mat
ter-ths synthesis of organic CON-
pounds. His son. Daniel Berthelot. has
now made the synthesis by natures

Plants do this by feeding on air:
they get the material which they trans

vapor of the air around them. The or

plants produce serve as food for high

For this purpose they use purely

WOMEN BLUNDER IN EXCESS.
Over.ornamentatlon 10 A. Foolish as
Painting the Lily or Gliding
Refined Gold.

To know when to stop is Just as i'm
portant as to be able to begin. That
is a fact that applies just as emphatic
ally to the making of hat or gown as
to the actions of everyday Life. Many
women blunder In the wasteful and
ridiculous excess of ornamentation
that is as foolish as painting the lily
or gliding refined gold against which
the poet sings.
Just because a woman has bought
one dozen crocheted buttons she. II
of the laundering variety. must use the
twelve. Perhaps ten can be disposed
of creditably. but the effect must be
foolishly sacrificed instead of two but
tons. and the result falls short always
of the good style.
A wish to use as much as possible
on the little afternoon frock or the
evening gown is the stumbling block
for many home dressmakers. Certain
,ly there can be too much Of good
thing. II a little piece OF velvet or
maline be left. keep 1t. Do not tack
It on the front, or wind 1t at the belt.
Just to feel that economy is worth
while. You can use these short ends
to better advantage on another gar
ment. Better one-quarter Of yard of
ribbon not in use than a gown that
has lost the indefinable touch Of the
artist. The accommodation Is just
another evidence of the use of ex
tremes, habit that should be avoided
by all who aim at refinement and good
taste.
