"ARTIFICIAL" TADPOLES.
DIR. Loeb Solves Enigma of Chemical
Fertilization.

DR.. Jacques Loeb of the Rookie
feller Institute of Medical Research,
New York, has succeeded in demon
strating how life may be created by
artificial means. DR.. Loeb's expert
ments were conducted before a gath
ering of the Sigma Xi Scientific Fra
ternity in the Quadrangle Clubrooms
at the University of Chicago. About
$50 scientists attended.
BY the use of tadpoles, DR.. Loeb
showed how the male can be elimi-
mated. He displayed specimens of
tadpoles produced by physico-chemi-
cal fertilization of the female egg.

A FRIEND OF THE JEFFS. WANTS
US TO EXPAND FURTHER.

Dear Mr.. Watson: | have been
thinking for some time that I would
write to you. [ am very much in
terested in the Jeff Publishing Com
pany, and if you will pardon me l
would like to suggest that as soon as
you possibly can arrange to do so,
that you add to your publishing
house a department for printing mu-
sic composed by Southern writer's.
| have heard number of yankees
say that we Southerners had no tai
ent nor vim about us, that there was
not an engraving house for music in
the South, and the Northern con-
Germs charge so very much that it
is almost impossible for a person to
get a composition through. Now
you know that some of the sweetest
verse and music is written by South
ern men and women. ] wish it lay
in my power to help you establish
this branch to your plant, but | am
widow and make most of my little
income by writing. I have been an
invalid quite a while and only write
when the spirit moves me. | see
that you can't get a Judge brave
enough to try you, | was sure some
thing would be the matter. How
about suing those fellows for DANA
ges to your health for their treat
ment? You know they have nothing
against you.
Don't ever move the Jeff plant to

stick to your job, we will all stand
up to you. Those old sap-heads are

Take good care of our own dear

A LETTER FROM ANOTHER
NAMESAKE.

Dear Mr.. Watson: l am a little
boy about seven years old, have light
hair and blue eyes, and my name is
Tom Watson Roberts. I am very
proud of my name, only wish | could
become as great and useful as my
namesake. Papa takes both your pa
pers, and enjoys reading them so
much. He gave me the little knife
you sent with the Jeff. I like it fine
because it has your picture on it. We
want you to come to Enterprise, Ala,
and speak for us, and | would like
to get near enough to you to put my
arms around your neck. I have two
brothers and two sisters. My broth
er's names are Elmo Butler and John
Edmon Roberts. My sisters names
are Eva Mabel and Francis Adele
Roberts. They are mighty cute and
sweet. I have been sick most of the
year, but think now I will soon be
well. I hope you will come out
alright in your trial. Papa thinks so
much of you, he said he would like
very much to go to hear your trial.
| live on a farm of about four hun
dred acres. We have a real pretty
country home. L like country life
alright. I have been going to school
some. With much love to Mr.. Wat

PROTESTANTS ARE MAKING
THIS GEORGIAN THINK.

Editor Jeffersonian: Enclosed
find postoffice money order for which
please send The Jeffersonian to the
names on enclosd list, for on year.
May you be spared for many vars
yet, to carry on the work of exposing
the rottenness of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy. This monster fraud, con-
celved in lniquity and nurtured at
the breasts of ignorance and super
stition, is, without doubt, the great
est menace to the future welfare of
our fair land and our people.
But Huss, Jerome, Luther and
other Christian martyrs kept the
light burning through the dark ages,
and now, when the Pope and his
minions, routed from Europe, seek
to take possession of this land of the
free and home of the brave, you and
other brave leaders have boldly
grappled with this dragon of dark
ness, with the result that Protestants
OF this country are waking up, and
trust that the time is not far distant
when this so-called religious organi-
cation will sink into a long deserved
and we'll merited oblivion.
Truly yours, JOS. T. GRICE.

In the first place. it is an excellent
idea-to make accessible and inviting

rier Doubtless il is not so excellent
business idea as il is to get up
Christmas something in the way OF

gent idea. and we trust that 1t Will be
one reasonably well rewarded. The
author Of "Trilby" is thought OF affec-
tionately in America. What a strange
boom" that was, Mr.. Justin Huntly
Mccarthy, writing Of the play at the
time Of its production here, said, the
taste for 'Trilby' became passion, the
passion grew into a mania and the
mania deepened into n Madness And
then the mania went the way Of all
booms. Though one still finds pleasant
people who ~uietly read that lurid and
sentimental novel of so much flavor

way. But long before their author

The fashionable "crazes" which this
Victorian of tn Victorians satirized
in so gentlemanly a fashion are per-
haps more amusing viewed in retro
spect, now that they all seem so far
away, than they were even in their
hour. Du Maurier's ladies-and even

one may he stern with the talent Of
Du Maurier by comparing him With
his great contemporary, Charles Keene.
He did not see humanity. but merely
Victorian types. And in his technique.
though in his best period he had much
facility in rendering textures, he fol-
lowed a conventional formula. Yet, as
this writer says:
TO estimate the art OF Du Maurier at
its full worth We must try to imagine
Punch from 1868 without this art, and
try for "A moment to conceive the diner
ence this absence would make TO our
present knowledge of the Nictorians;
also To the picture always entertained
