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,
Psychologists Of the University Of
Pennsylvania have completed a series
Of tests which are amazing.
y The scientists have found it 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 IS the result OF this treat
ment.
It was found a solution of water, 80

similar to the malic acid that is found
in certain forms Of vegetable life,

When the fact was established, then
the men Of science were ready to pro-
coed with their comparative animal
tests.
Several female guinea pigs were
Isolated so as to preclude the posi-
bility Of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three Of the animals gave birthlto
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two OF these artifciall3

and waving them. All the music
played during this time was dirges.
On Friday night was the great event
of the week, the great procession, be-
ginning at ten o'clock and headed by
three men, n of them carrying the
crown OF thorns; the second, the nails
which nailed the Lord to the cross;
the third, the cock that crew. This
was followed by a float beautifully
trimmed and lighted containing the
image of our Lord so painted that
blood appeared to be on the forehead
and face. Very realistic it looked in
the semi-darkness.
Next was a float containing the Vir-
gin Mary beautifully dressed in pur-
pie velvet trimmed with priceless lace
and jewels, her long train held up by
angels. As the streets were dark only
for the lights on the floats and torches
carried by the crowd, who were all
dressed in black, and the procession
moved so slowly, appearing to mark
time and swaying from side to side,
they were more than two hours going
around two blocks.
On reaching the church the floats
were. put within to remain till the res
direction at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning. No train whistled, no bells
rang, nc teams were in the streets
from Thursday moor Even the chill
dren were told not to talk, for 1.-THE

COMMITTEE MUST ACCEPT HIS
CONFESSION OF FAITH" If He
Is NOMINATED.
WILL NOT DELAY HIS SPEECH
Roosevelt Asserts II Was Question Of
Principle He Left Republican Party
and Refuse. to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Of Speech Sent Out.

New York.-The National Progress
sive party must accept Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's political doctrine IL he IL
to be It's standard-bearer. He said
that he would insist upon making his
Confession Of faith" to the delegates
before the committee which is to
draft the platform makes its final re-
portland. that he would not accept the
nomination on a platform. which did
not meet with his approval.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech was Or
iginally scheduled .for Monday night.
When it was suggested to him that
the time of It's delivery. be. postponed,
he sem word to his managers that
he would not consent to a delay until
after the platform had. been present
ed to the convention. Advance copies
of the speech reached the leaders of
the new party several days ago. The
Colonel said nothing, however, to in
dictate that the suggestion for a de-
lay in the delivery of the speech was
due to the impressions of those who
had read It,.
Colonel Roosevelt said that in his
speech he had dealt fully with all the
great political questions of the day.
He spoke frankly and fearlessly, he
said, and believed that the convex
ton ought to be fully apprised of his
views before r~atifying the tentative
nomination which he accepted at
Chicago last month. He contends that
1t was upon a question of principle
that he left the Republican party and
now that he has done so he cannot
make a compromise of principle In
accepting the leadership of the new
movement.
His declaration of political faith,
he said, is one which will be termed
either socialism or anarchy, and prob
ably both, but represents his convic-
tons. He goes to Chicago to make
these views known and to receive the
presidential nomination only if they
are acceptable in their substantial
provisions to the new party.
