Boston.-That it is possible to create
human life by chemical means and that
a y factory is not out Of the uues-
ton for the distant future is asserted
by DR.. Martin kellogg schermerhorn of
the department Of philosophy in Har-
ward. While speaking before the Meta
physical club he said:
Life is not confined to the animal
and plant world. The whole universe
Is alive, and all that lives is conscious.
Animals are conscious and gifted
with the power Of thought and imagi-
nation.
plants are conscious, and Ruskin
and Goethe agree they are capable of
exercising strategy and, forethought.
Even Darwin said plants were sensi-
tive, and hence he must have believed
they were conscious. .- 5000 7s-''-- "~7
ut is obvious that the evolution from
so called matter to human life is pos
sible. The chemist of the future will
labor SO that men shall be made in
baby factories as chickens are Matched
in incubators.''

Washington.-Plans for an army of

Major General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff of the United States army.
General Wood is not in favor of
large standing army, but he points out
that in the Revolution this country was

London.-Artifcial dimple making is

that it is being done in London too. A
we'll known beauty specialist says
fashionable women are now having ar
titlcial dimples produced On their faces.
The cost Of making permanent dim
plies ranges from $26 to $50. The
process usually lasts a fortnight. A
small cut is made in the skin. The
wound is then bound up and dressed
daily until healed. The dimples most
in demand are little depressions near
the corner of the mouth, which show
themselves when the owner smiles. 1t

Taft's Cow Coos Back to Her Old Wis

Washington.-Pauline Wayne, Presi-
dent Tafts famous Holstein cow, will
follow him into retirement March 4.
The president called in Senator Isaac
Stephenson of Wisconsin, who two
years ago took Pauline to the White
House, and gave her back to her former
owner.
Pauline has not been in the best of
health in several months. President
Taft believes that if she is taken back
to Wisconsin and put on Senator
Stephenson's farm again her youthful
vigor will revive. The senator was
glad to recover Pauline, as she had
supplied milk to the family of the presi-
dent for two years, and he thought she
would add dignity to his herd.

men.
Then General Wood outlines tho
plan the general staff is at present
pushing In congress to supply the ma
tional reserve of 100000 men it deems
necessary. .a,e
1t figures that 10000 officers are first
Of all required as q nucleus Of the re-
serve. Material for these would be
found in the $4,000 students of mill
tary schools throughout the country.
The general staff first Of all has asked
congress for legislation authorizing
graduates from these schools to be en-
listed for one year as second neuten-
ants In the regular army. Thus it
hopes to instruct in the officers duty
men enough to I'LL the reserves needs.
Ten days service with the army every
other year would be the only addition
al requirement of reserve officers.
To provide the 100000 reserve pri-
Yates and noncommissioned officers
the general staff proposes to reduce
the term Of enlistment in the regular
army to two years, thus creating q
constantly shifting personnel equipped
with military knowledge, with the
duty of serving the flag in case of war.
This scheme would be supplemented
by cooperation with the national
guard of the different states and su-
pervision of their work by the general
staff, while they would be stimulated
to larger enlistments than at present.
1--WE have q murder rate about five
times as great in this country as that
OF any Of the so called military coun-
tries of Europe" says GeneralsWood.
Military service instills regard for law
and order while it instills solidarity
and patriotism. Wars will always ex-
list until human nature is 80 changed
that great nations, realizing that they
have the power and can get what they
need. voluntarily submit disputes to
arbitration. That consummation will

ious to repair the great crime of their
ancestors, which they felt was the
blacklist in their history.
The chief rabbi replied that he was
deeply touched by the action of the
minister and that the fresh advances
made by him could not fail to produce
an excellent impression on the Jews of
the east. ..,
Before leaving the chief rabbi the
Spanish minister invited him to pay a
visit in his company to the Spanish
cruiser, Rena Regente, which was an
chored in the port. M. Nahoum ac-
cepted the invitation. As he boarded
the vessel the officers and men in full
uniform presented arms and ranged
themselves around the chief rabbi The
Spanish minister thereupon addressed
the men as follows: r.
Il have the honor to introduce to
you the venerated. and esteemed chief
Of all the Jews in Turkey, your own
fellow citizens, whose ancestors were
unjustly and cruelty driven from Spain.
1t is to this venerable chief that the
government of his majesty the king,
as well as his people, is addressing
it's desire to repair the injustice of
which we feel we are still experiencing
the bitter consequences"
He added that the occasion was
doubtless the first for almost five, cen
turtles that the head Of the Jews in
the east had set foot upon Spanish
warship.
The commander of the cruiser enter
tanned the chief rabbi at tea and there
after conducted him through every part
Of the vessel. Upon leaving the ship
M. Nahoum was honored in the same
way as when he had first boarded it.,
and the Marquis de Nantouillet inform
ed him that he would be pleased if
Jewish families would visit the cruiser,
for which purpose he placed steam
launches at their disposal.
The Spanish minister stated that in
the event Of Saloniki's being detached
from Turkey his government would re-
gard very favorably the return en- bloc
Of all the Jews in that city who were
of Spanish descent. The Spanish gov
eminent, he stated, was willing to
open atTits expense Jewish schools in
Saloniki or the hinterland, where in
struction would be given in Spanish,
the knowledge Of which would facili-
tate commercial relations with Spain
and all other countries where that Ian
guage is spoken, and he declared that
French or any other foreign language
above all, Hebrews could be taught in
those schools.

to hold with the Indians was listened
to by men in the pay of the rubber
companies. Seeing the company men
present, the Indians refused to talk.
Consequently Mr.. Fuller was unable
to obtain the evidence he sought.
Furthermore, not only Mr.. Fuller's
report, but also other documents being
held at the state department for trans
mission to congress, will show that the
Indians, regardless Of any atrocities,
are being worked by the agents under
system differing very little from
slavery. Mr.. Fuller's report will show
that the rubber of the Putumayo is be-
ing gathered In regions where few
white men can survive and where
none but Indians can successfully gath
er the rubber; that the risks to life in
the jungle are SO great that the worst
kind Of adventures have become prac-
hcally the only kind Of men the COM
panies can get to act as supervisors;
that 1mpelled by the great risks they
are taking, together with the remote
ness from the restraining influences of
civilization, these agents have been
accustomed to go to almost any lengths
to gain greater sums in commissions
on the value of the rubber gathered.
Mr.. Fuller was last year appointed
! consul at Iquitos, Peru. for the special
purpose of investigating the conditions
In the Putumayo. Iquitos is the great
inland port of Peru, 2,7OO miles up the
Amazon river, and it is one Of the chief
outlets for rubber from the upper
Amazon. Though only few hundred
miles from Lima. the capital Of Peru,
it is in effect, by virtue of the Andes
ranges, thousands Of miles from the
seat Of the Peruvian government.
On Aug. Consul Fuller left Iquitos
for the Putumayo, accompanied by G.
B. Mitchell, British consul at Iquitos.
The investigators got practically no
information. as company men followed
them throughout their entire journey.
They found only two Barbadian ne
groes left In the Putumayo and were
consequently obliged to depend on the
natives for information. This course
OF Information was effectualiy shut OF
by the espionage maintained by the
men. Whenever the consuls spoke to
the Indians through an interpreter, of
course. they found that company
man was always at their elbow to
listen. The men were all well known
to the Indians, who. overawed by their
taskmasters, were afraid to speak
frankly to the consuls.
The conclusion was reached that,
while there very probably was not at
the moment any serious organized i'll
treatment Of the Indians, the compa-
MES had made it impossible for 1nves-
tigators to learn whether atrocities
were being practiced or not. Upon
their return to Iquitos both men drew
{ up and signed joint statement set
ting forth how the company's agents
had made practically fruitless their In
vesugation4.

Coffee should always be made strong.
There is far finer flavor obtained by
using half-cup of strong coffee and
diluting it with boiled milk or even hot
water than from coffee made weak at
first. When coffee is made in the kitch-
en-, granite ware pots are used. They
are more easily cleaned than the old
fashioned block tin, which indeed is sell

For dripped coffee there are many va
rieties of more or less elaborate brass
and copper coffee urns, with filters and
syphons and alcohol lamps, and most
of them are excellent, although earthen
pots are preferred by some people. There
is an air of cosiness about them when
coffee is made at table, and the filters
can be kept absolutely clean.
Six tablespoonfuls to quart of wa
ter is a good general rule. but for filtered
coffee it is sometimes necessary to use
a little more, especially of Brazilian or

good flavor, but are not overrich.
