radium and other metals also do this

misled many scientists to maintain
that life can, after all, be analyzed
IN simple terms. But these explana-
tions are, as my father used to say,
a little too previous" No one has
proved exactly what an engine is
Whenever you hear that DR..
Bastian, Professor Burke, DR.. lie Due,
DR., Loeb or the other Creators have
actually made some living thing in
their laboratories, the chances are
that what they call life" and what
is really life are entirely different
things. It all resolves itself into a
definition of what life really is.
Many things have been made ex-
perimentally in laboratories which
show spontaneous growth, spontane-
GUS formation of new fluids, spon-
taneous movements spontaneous alb

No, life has not yet been made by
man, and the fact remains that life is
to man an unknown quantity, and the
breach between it and matter Is as
great today as it was 10o,OO0,o0o years

The roads were slippery and the

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Life Is still Mystery Baffling. Our
Imitation.
Life is truly a mighty maze, but
not without a plan. 1t may be
pilgrimage of blasts, but these are
like other Ill winds-they blow much
good. The crowded world which each
moment contains is life. There can
be no such thing for dead matter.
There is no way to define life in
terms of human thought or chemical
knowledge. Vital agencies are inter-
woven, perhaps, with physical nature,
but these are evidently distinct. Life
may be defined as that which results
from the doings, the goings and COM
ings, the actions of chemicals, but all
unbiased servants-those who adhere
neither to the mechanistic conceptions
or the vitahstic-must grant that HE
adapts itself irrespective Of all chemi-
co-physical associates.
Living things with all varieties Of
repair themselves spontaneously and
without outside assistance. II you
separate water into oxygen and hy-
drogen 1t will not repair itself. If
YOU cut your finger it will be re-
paired and healed. A worm will spare
even more parts than a man ana WIN
no help from the outside will grow
almost q whole new worm.
Life is said to lurk In those little
agents pepsin, rennet, trypsin and
the other ferments known to scholars
as enzyme. An engine Is a sub
stance which effects powerful changes
In other things without Itself under
going alteration. They digest food
oxydize tissues, change proteins into
amido-acids and water, and even DC
the reverse, build up complex living
things from simple ingredients.

Ruling Passion in Fire Horses

Almost everybody in Newark knows
steve" Preen, who for years has con-
Quoted a livery stable business in this
| city, but who spends most of his time
of late on his three-hundred acre farm
| in New Germantown, this State. Big
and oad-shouldered. with bluff,
honest ways, "Steve" made friends
wherever he moved. He has turned
over much of his affairs here to his
son, while he chores" it on the farm.
He must come to Newark now and
then, however, to see old acquaint-
ances and tell what he knows about
farming.
Some time ago it was decided by
the Newark Fire Commissioners that
the team of little grays, for years the
propeling power of the hose wagon
of Engine Company No. 2, had out
lived their usefulness for fire service.
Age and work had Slowed them
up and ambition and willingness on
the part OF Jack" and Harry (the
horses) could not supply the de-
ficiency.
Ii would be shame to sell these
faithful animals to some heartless
wretch who would abuse them,
thought the commissioners, and sim
liar thoughts possessed the minds of
Chief Engineer Paul j. Moore and DR..
James T. Glennon, the department
veterinarian.
If Jack and Harry could be sold
at a right figure and sent out on q
farm. That was the idea.
Chief Moore had "Steve" Preen IN
mind. steve" knew Jack" and
Harry" He bought them and sent
them to his farm. Here they waXed
fat, but not lazy.
Last Wednesday steve came to
town with u lively story of his fire
team.
Harry was in the stable and
"Jaek' was at work in distant part
of the farm, related "Steve." 81 was
burning some brush and rubbish that
/ had piled up, and there was lots of
smoke. Suddenly l heard a noise, and,
looking across the fields, spotted
Jack coming toward the fire at a
tearing rate. He broke through the
rails of o fence surrounding one lot
and plunged directly at the fire. For
a moment he looked at me as much
as to say, Why don't you turn on
the hose? then, reversing position,
kicked and scattered the burning heap
in all directions.
Satisfied that he had performed
his full duty and that the fire was
extinguished, Jack trotted toward
the stable where Harry was con-
fined. | followed, and do YOU believe
me that on my arrival 1 found Harry
and jack standing patiently side by
side alongside hay wagon as if wait
ing for an order to return to their
stalls"
And there wasn't man present
who doubted "Steve's" story. Most
of them were fremen, and felt that
it would be just like Jack ana
"IIarrv" to turn such a trick.

upon male labor This is pointed out by DR.. veditz
new commercial attache at Paris Many of the
skilled workers and men in the prime of life who
required to handle heavy machinery being killed
or disabled. This will necessarily make masculine
labor scarcer and production dearer.
Increased taxes due to the enormous expenses OF
the war will contribute the condition. In ad
diton prejudice in country against the goods OF
another will outlast the war for years. There is
reason, as DR.. Veditz says why the United States

THE NEWS ONCE A WEEK.

A lodge in some wilderness remote from and mac
cessble TO civilization that in evidence today in
Europe is sighed for by many people. But nowadays
there is no wilderness so isolated that its dweers
may not get news of the world Wireless telegraphy
has conquered solitudes.
For five months of the year. from December to
May the people of the Magdalen Islands of the coast
of Nova Scotia, have been completely isolated from
the rest of the world. Now the Canadian government
is going to have weekly letter wirelessed to
their clergy who will read it from the pulpits Sun
days.
To people who have had TO wait five months to
get the news of the great world outside their obscure
islands the news once week is almost startling in its
freshness But what boon indeed to live in the
Magdalen Islands, communing with nature and bliss
fully unconscious of the world tragedy now being

Exit the Emden.
From the Boston Globe.
Somewhere ON a beach OF the Keel
ing Island group lies the keel of the
German cruiser Emden. That angry
hornet, which has been for two
months buzzing about the Bay Of
Bengal. has had It's own death sting.
And what will cause England special
jubilation is that 1t was a vessel Of
the colonial navy which did execu-
ton on the enemy--the Australian
second-class cruiser Sydney.
This service to the mother country,
while in itself a notable ratification
of the British adniralty's colonial
policy, will probably also cement still
closer the ties of loyalty which bind
the island continent to the island eIn-
pire.
AS for the Emden, which has rneted
out destruction to nearly two dozen
British merchantmen, Russian
cruiser and a French destroyer, her
career has excited the admiration Of
friend and foe. She ranged these
southern seas, she ehelled Madras.
and she executed an exploit Of pro-
digious audacity at Penang.
The cruiser which destroyed her
was larger, more heavily armed, and,
though nominally not so swift, was
probably In action her superior in
speed, through certain circumstances
Of better repair and a bottom un-
fouled by sea gTowths.
The Emden il no moro. We can
synapathize with the sigh of relief
which must go up from British ship
owners, even as we send after the
doughty cruiser parting 'Hoch!"

 Call money ranged from four and Cne-half to five per cent the lower rate prevailing where choice of col lateral was offered Interior financial institutions were free leaders in this market and sentiment, so far as it dealt with the monetary situation was materially heartened by the smoothness with which the new banking system started to cut into operation.
 Another advance in high grade cop. per to twelve cents denoted a better inquiry for metal by consumers, but conditions of that industry as a whole continued to be unsatisfactory main. ly because of the British embargo.
