REDpS EXPERIMENT.
but Of Ii Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory.

Dut OF II Grew the Great r aprlc OF tne
Germ Theory.
1t was a fixed belief of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
Into existence In a spontaneous fash
ion, to which allusion has often been
made. The true beginning Of the germ
theory arose out of q ludicrouSly Sim
pie observation made by Redi, Flor
entine physician, about the middle or
the seventeenth century He debated
with his confreres in Florence the
question of the origin of the maggots
appearing in decomposing meat. The
old view held, of course, that the mag
COTS were bred within dead and putre-
flying substances. Redi, taking piece
of meat, covered the mouth of the jar
I'm which 1t was contained with a piece
of fine gauze. He beheld the flesh flies,
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft
err the manner of their kind, in the de-
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the surface of the
gauZe and the maggotS there Matched
out, while the decay of the meat went
on uninterruptedly without a single
maggot appearing in It's substance.
On this childishly simple experiment
the great fabric of the germ theory OF
today was founded, for If the law of
universal parentage applied to the case
Of maggots and meat it was clear, ar
gued Redi, that it must apply univer-
sally, Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true, and SO to-
day. when our attention is focused upon
germs or microbes SO minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds OF
thousands of them on the surface of 6

CRIMINAL ASSIGNMENTS
FOR PRESENT TERM
Case Of Snow and Marshall 10 Passed
by Consent Of Both Attor-

Judge Bank called the attorneys OF
the city together this morning and
assigned the criminal trials for the
balance of the term.
The case of the state vs.. Snow and
Marshall, was passed for the present,
by consent of both attorneys. This
case is the one in which the two ne
groes are accused of robbing a rail-
road man.
The cases of the gamblers and keep
ers of houses of ill-fame will be the
next, as soon as the Dunn case is dis
posed of. 1t is thought that a bitter
fight will be made in these cases, OF
which there are severai. Most Of
them entail charge Of bootiegging.
It was said this morning that Clyde
M. Richardson, charged in the indiet-
ment with ENLIGHTENMENT, would plead
guilty, but this was denied by his at
torney this morning. Attorney John
IP. Hornish, appointed by the court to
defend Richardson, said that if this
was so, he knew nothing about it. 1t
lis likely that the case will be settled
in some manner, out of court.
