A serious attempt to investigate
what may be called the hygiene OF
sport is about to be made in Berlin.
TO carry out the objects in view a
sport laboratory is to be established
and placed under the charge of the
Charlottenburg municipal authorities.
The idea had it's origin in a depart:
ment of the hygiene exhibition held
recently at Dresden, In which every.
thing that could throw light on the
influence Of sports and gymnastic ex.
ercises on the human organism was
brought together. Special attention
was. paid to bodily Measurements
arising under different conditions and
from different muscular exercises, and
particulars observation was directed to
the good and harmful effects Of the
several sports and gymnastics on the
human body and Its members. One
of the chief objects Of the new labora-
tory will be the observation Of all that
possibly affects school children in re-.
spect OF food and physical exercises.

London.-The time may come when

fellow Of the Royal society and dis
tinguished member Of the British AS

ence. On his theory, an extra drop OF
this, that or the other chemical solu.
ton poured into the crucible may turn
out, at will, Dante or q Nero, a Car
negie Of Ounce.
1T was customary" says Professor
Macallum, ito regard living matter as
unique; with parallel In the inorganic
world and the secrets involved in its
actions and activities as unsolvable
enigmas. There were those also who
put forth, as an explanation for all
these manifestations, the Intervention
In so-called living matter Of a force
otherwise and elsewhere unknown, bi.
otto or vital, whose action was direct
ed, according to the character Of the
structure through which it operated,
to the production Of the phenomena
in question. Living protoplasm was.
in this view, but mark and mo.
dium for action Of the unknown force"
He says the methods Of the labora-
tory are not as yet those Of nature,
because nature works unerringly, un-
falteringly. with an amazing economy
of material and energy, while present
laboratory syntheses are but round.
about ways to the waste sink.
He believes, though, that science
has made start in the right direc-
tion and is approaching the discovery
ct the function and composition Of
living cells ITO that end" he adds,
- greatly developed study OF micro
chemistry is necessary. This should
apply the stimulus to enthusiasm in

New York.-When the steamer Al
;emania arrived in port recently a
thrilling story of shipwreck and attack
by pirates was told by thirteen sail
ors Of the Italian Bark, Genee, on
board the Allemania, and rescued by
the latter boat when in desperate
sight at Inagua, the Bahamas.
According to the story told by the
>escaed sailors, the Genee set out
frosn 1nagua on May Is, bound for
Marseiiies, with 4 costly cargo of
hardwood, and when q short distance
out from port had encountered Sc
we're storm which carried them out
Of their course and threatened to send
them to the bottom.
After working the pumps for sew
eral days, the crew was on the point
Of deserving the bark and taking to
the boats, when a number of small
sailboats came alongside, and the &C.
cupants of these boats, numbering
more than 100, armed with guns and
revolvers, boarded the Genee and or
dered the crew to surrender. An at
tempt was made by the crew to scut-
tie tho Genee, and a fight ensued in
which Tho defenders were badly worst
ed. They were then ordered into the
small boats without water or provis-
ions.
After rowing aimlessly for two days,
the crew Of the Genee made land at
one Of the smaller Bahamas and hoist
ed a signal Of distress. which was
seen by tho lookout on the steamer
Allemania, which rescued them, near
" dead from exposure and hunger.
