tionize skin grating. For more than three
months he has been conducting experiments
The argument Of DR.. Staller is that It is
from the thin skin OF the eggsheil the
chicken Is produced Placed on a burnt d
surface. he has found that the cells in the
eggs skin multiply rapidly and the mem
brane becomes large until 1t spreads over
the entire affected surface.

ing has commenced between the Persian

fesses tonight to lave no details of the

the Caspian Sea, and at Resht sixteen
miles northwest of Enzeli. Conflicting
versions are given as to the cause Of the
Fighting ono story says that the Rus
slams seized the Police Headquarters at
Resht.
1t is feared that the news will have a
dep!oraDle effect on public opinion in
Teheran. The special commission of five
deputies. which tie National Council yes
terday decided to appoint to deal with
the Russian ultimdtum. has not yet been
formed, owing To the reluctance of the
deputies to serve.

spondent of The Morning Post says
that Russia yesterday presented to Persia
a final ultim ltum, demanding compliance
within twenty -four hours; otherwise. the

toned at Kasbin would advance on

Woman Jurors.

It is to the credit of the gentIer sex that the jury of women drawn in the justice court at Seattle, Wash. re- gently rendered such expeditions and intelligent service as to warrant most favorable comparison with the work of male jurors. On the other hand, it de- tracts somewhat from the meritorious showing made by the women that. In- der similar circumstances at Olympia. the court experienced no small diff1cul- ty in persuading women to serve. Of six women drawn for service three asked exoneration on the ground that she was not a taxpayer; another claim ed to be ineligible on the ground of non-reSIdence, and the third asked ex emptlon as the wife of 8, physician, her contention being that since physicians are exempt their wives should be sim ilarly privileged. Apparently the su thorites erred in selecting women having domestic and other responsibil lties interfering with the surrender of their time and energies to the public service. Had the jury list been filled with the names of free footed women such, for instance, as have leisure to devote to public agitation for the suf rage and kindred objects, there would proDably have been no difficulty, It is plain to be seen, however. that the woman who is tied down by home du ties and has a house and babies to look after is hardly an eligible subject and rarely willing one for jury duty or any like function.-Piftsblrr Chronicle Telegraph

What He Had to Say.

Every once in a while a new cam pafgn story yet bobs up in Washing ton. This one is on Ralph Cole. Ohio member of congress, who did his best to make his district go republican, but who cannot point to any particularly bowling success in that regard At one town in his district he was to di- vide his time with local spellbinder. The local man spoke first and was to have kept going for half an hour, but he made it an hour and a half. When he got through he made an apology for encroaching on Coles time.
 Tt reminds me-" Cole said, as he faced his audience. 'of what once heard in a court room. The defendant had beep found guilty or criminal charge. The judge sentenced him to fifteen years. Have you anything to sayT demanded the court of the pris oner. Nothing but this was the re- ply. T think you're mighty damned liberal with another mans time.'"
 Then Cole turned loose and coaxed hack the departing audience by the flow of his wonderful oratory.-Cin- Snnau Times-Star.
