SCIENTISTS TELL US LITTLE
Men Of Learning Are But Theorists
When They Come to Face the
Facts of Life.

That a great part of the body be-
sides the bones is really dead in q
healthy, living man is the verdict OF
science. Even the blood, which has
always been called "the life" is only
alive as to it's coTpuscles. These swim
In the liquid known as the plasma,
which is not alive and can be replaced
by serum that may have been stand
ing in druggists bottle for six
months. With the hair, teeth, bones
and blood plasma are to be classed
the lymph, the chyle, the fluids In the
pleura, pericardium, peritoneum and
even the cerebro-spinal fuid-the fluid
part Of the brain and spinal column.
None of the gases and fluids in the
body are more alive than the lime of
the bones. This leaves us the cells
as the only living part, and these are
dying and being replaced by the mil
lion every hour.
From all of which facts it is argued
by certain scientists that life is no
more real than death and that the
only difference between life and death
is state of the protoplasm or con-
tents of the cell AS long as the cell
is alive il retains and controls the
chemical substances which constitute
protoplasm. But as soon as it is really
dead, the control is lacking and the
cell breaks up
This still leaves us much in the
dark as to what is life.-Exchange.

JUMPS into CANAL
To AVOID TRAIN
Lewis Rucker Borne Beneath
TrestIe by Swift Current
and is Drowned.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED

Lewis Rucker. twelve-year- son
of Mr.. Henry Rucker. of sos Beverly
~street. was drowned In the canal be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets Tues
day afternoon about S o'clock.
frightened by a passing shifting
engine, the little boy stepped off the
railroad tracks beneath the trestle
at Sixth street, only to fall into the
canal, where boys swim every day.
He struggled in the water for n few
seconds and then went down, his body
being recovered before 1t reached the
street car crossing of the canal at
Seventh street, That his life was not
saved Is mystery to all who witness
ed the drowning.
A little deformcd boy was sitting
on the bank of the canal near where
little Lewis fell in. and reached his
foot far out in an effort to save the
drowning boy. Several grown men
were standing near. but all evidently
thought the boy would easily swim to
the shore or strike against the gate
at Seventh street and be pulled up to
shore. When he sank for the last
time the people who had seen him in
the water could scarcely believe he
was drowned.
Sobh NHcdtNdHit Oh oEo 1nufCn
street dived for the body and brought
1t to surface. One of the first per
sons TO reach the little fellow was
Miss Alyer Smith. OF Gil Church
street. She did what she could to re-
suscitate the little fellow, but her eff
forts were in vain death resulting In
a few minutes.
A crowd of several hundred con-
gregated near the canal within fifteen
minutes and none thought the child
should have been allowed to drown.
The canal Is about eight feet deep
at this point and is not more than
thirty feet across. Most any man
could have pulled the little fellow
out.
When life was extinct the coroner
was called, and after viewing the body
and deeming an inquest unnecessary.
he allowed it to be taken to the Rich
mond burial establishment. Funeral
services will be conducted from the
grave wednesday afternoon. The
aged grandfather of the boy saw the
body shortly after II was taken from
the water. 1t was he who broke the
sad news to the mother and father Of
the youth.
Little Lewis was TO have been sent
to the country Wednesday for his
vacation. He had planned many sur
prises for his relatives and friends in
the country and had looked forward
with considerable expectation TO the
time when he should leave the city.
With little friend, he left home
Tuesday afternoon. and when II rain
ed he sought shelter under the trestle
near Sixth street. The passing of the
shifting engine Ia thought to have
caused him to lose his balance and
fall into the canal, or either he was
frightened and jumped from the
tracks of the railroad into the water.
