FIND THE SECRET OF LIFE
savants Of University Of Pennsylvania
Produce Guinea Pigs With
Serum They Make.

Philadelphia, Pa.--Following up the
research experiments performed at
the Rockefeller institute in New York,
pathologists of the University of
Pennsylvania have completed a series
Of tests which are amazing.
The scientists have found 1t is i'm
possible to produce animal life artifi-
cially. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but female guinea pigs
have been impregnated by an artificial
solution, Stimulating the normal animal
secretion, and from this there has
been produced the true animal embryo
which has grown to normal size and
been born as the result of this treat
ment.
1t was found solution Of water, 80
per cent, salts IL per cent, and an acid
similar to the malic acid that is found
in certain forms of vegetable life,
would cause human tissues to grow.
When the fact was established, then
the men of science were ready to pro-
ceed with their comparative animal
tests.
Several female guinea pigs were
Isolated SO as to preclude the possi-
bility of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three Of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two Of these artificialIy
produced pigs died. but one IL still
living.

Postmaster S. e. Wallen has re-
ceived the following letter from the
first assistant postmaster general.
Sir: The post Office appropriation
act for the fiscal year ending June 80,
ll91S, provides:
THAT hereafter post Offices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays for the purpose of
delivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent the
prompt delivery of special delivery
mail"
Under this law you win close the
general delivery, carriers windows,
and lock boxes and discontinue all de-
liveries by carriers on Sunday. You
will note however that special de-
livery mail is expected and you will
therefore arrange to have on duty a
sufficient force to handle this mail mat
ter promptly.
The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible
may enjoy complete day of rest on
Sunday. You should, therefore, re-
quire only a sufficient number Of
clerks to report for duty on that day
in order that transit mail and the mail
collected for dispatch may be handled
without delay. II no mail is dispatch
ed on Sunday very early collection
should be made on Monday morning
and the mail for local delivery dis
tributed before the carriers leave for
their first trip.

owners, but most OF them agree with

deadly automatic gun. | was raised
on a farm, born there, here in Texas,
and have grown up associated with ma

earliest associates. Some | learned
to love, others to hate. | have a spe-
cial affection for Bob White on ac,
count of his semi-domestic nature. We
had plenty of quail until the advent
of the bird dog, and now where we
used to see thousands you can see but
one occasionally. Here is Texas the
