Observation-Disclosures
A Wedding Feast
By Martha McCulloch- Williams


Peter Winboro, actor and gentle
man, tapped rather hesitantly upon
the door of his next neighbor, Natalie
PeytOn. For three months they had
been harbored in Mrs Jones severely
respectable lodging house, Natalie in
he ballroom front, Winboro In the big
ger chamber adjoining Since their
FIRST meeting he had given the girl
respectful salutation at each en-
counter She had answered with a
pod, q smile and murmured word;
nothing more. But somehow his days
had been the brighter for them. II
had hardly gone beyond that Once
he had ventured to lay a magazine
at her door; once, also, she had sewed

rent for him. He had got II careless
ly just as he was starting out, and al
ready late, so the kindness had been
as real as 1t was trivial
He had meant to return It in the
shape of a matinee ticket But he
had found out that Miss Peyton was
at work every day--their encounter
ings had been as she came In from
the shop, and he went out to dine
before the theater. The shop was a
bedizened place on the avenue-Peter
did not know it-where fine hand
sewn custom lingerie was made. But
wages were not at all proportionate
to prices, so when the slack season
came and there was work only for
the regulars, Natalie, new to the city
last autumn, found herself Idle, with
no friends. faint prospects and a scant
hoard OF money.
Winboro had somehow sensed the
situation-helped, perhaps, by hear
ing her move about her room in day
light. Her face, too. had a subtly
terrified look, though she held her
self straighter than ever, and smiled
as brightly at him. She's game-as
game as she's good" he told himself
upon certain bright Sunday after

methylic aldehyde, whose condensa-
ton gives sugars and starches; and
they have gone on to the synthesis of
quarternary compounds, beginning
with formic amide-and this is the
very starting point of those albuminoid
bodies which are the basis of proto-
plasm or living matter.
This means that we have come close
ul to Huxley's physical basis Of life.
We have not overstepped the dividing
line between living and notifying
things, Nature has still a process by
which these carbon compounds enter
into the eolloid, automatically assim-
Hating state; and this is the resultant
of their own assimilation by the living
cell. This, too, is physical, like every
thing in nature, but whether the
process shall be eternally limited to
the cell itself-omne vivum eXovo-is
still the mystery Of life. Daniel Ber-
thelot's discovery does not touch 1t.
The new discovery marks an epoch
in science for another reason. The
elder Berthelot used the physical en-

He was deathly pale. He moved
uneasily upon his chair. He shufiied

music and travel beseechingly toward
the chandelier. | couldn't take my
eyes from him.
Then l noticed his fingers. They
appeared to be engaged in an act OF
truancy. One second they would slip
from the instrument and the next
they would leap guitily back. Once
his whole hand darted swiftly to his
bosom and as quickly regained its po-
sition upon the instrument. And all
the time his eyes. body and feet kept
up their strange disorder.
And the little cat roamed serenely
about.

Panic Ensues Among Musicians

Little Black and Gray Feline Walked
Inquisitively Across Stage at Den

Musical Festival.

Denver, Col.-When the little black
and gray cat strolled inquisitively
about at the Auditorium during the
opening concert of the musical festi-
val, she distracted the attention OF the
audience and Of the musicians and OF
the singer, but she never knew how
near her little excursion came to
causing one man to swoon with terror.
Emil Oberhoffer, leader of the Min
neapolis orchestra. related the incident
to Festival Manager James A. Thorpe
while he was waiting for his train to
pull out.
THE little cat came out just as No
relli was singing She will never know
how near she came to robbing the au-
dience of some exquisite little runs
from the oboe or how near one man
came to a dead faint.

Progressing Very Close to the
Secret of Life.
Physical Function of Green Plants Re-
produeed-Synthess Made by New
Physics Presented by Veneer
able Prof. Jungfleisch.

Paris-The Academy of Sciences
was startled at recent meeting by
the announcement of a great step for
ward that has been made in the chem
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
It is the laboratory production OF
chemical substances which in nature
are produced by living things ex-
cluslyely-and by the same physical
process 7hich 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-the synthesis of organic COM
pounds. His son, Daniel Berthelot, has
now made the synthesis by natures
own process-"chlorophy assimila-
ton. This is the physical function
exercised by green plants in sunlight,
namely, tho Transforming of carbon
existing as mineral into carbon ex-
listing in an organic state.
Plants do this by feeding on air;
they get the material which they trans
form from the carbonic acid and water
vapor OF the air around them. The or
ganie compounds of carbon which
plants produce serve as food for high
er living beings. Without this chloro-
phyll function of plants, which thus
assimilate the carbon of our atmos-
phere, there is no life on our globe.
Now this chlorophyll assimilation has
been reproduced artifcially by Daniel
Berthelot and his assistant, Henri
Gaudechon, in all its fundamental &C
ton
For this purpose they use purely
physical means and not chemical reae-
ton Under the influence of the ultra
violet rays produced by mercury va
por lamp, they have obtained exclu-
slYely from the air. that is, from Its
carbouic acid and water vapor, mum

thus accomplished the synthesis OF
teinary compounds. beginning with

In fact, he loves that man now with
