Deathless Tissues.
From the New York Times.


When man of DR.. Alexis CarrePs

chick, which he has kept in a nourishing
medium outside the body for twenty
eight months, is mo longer subject to the
influence of time"-that is. that its cells

fragments usually double within forty
eight hours. If animal tissues can be
kept outside the organism in permanent
life, and permanent is the word DR..
Carroll uses, what may be done in keep
ing the tissue-built body alive?
The blood and lymph are not the best
media for growth. in itself considered.
They contain elements that actually pre-
vent growth beyond a certain point. and
keep the parts and organs in subordina-
ton to the body as a whole. Rapid and
continuous growth is not desirable except
when the tissues are wasted, and then
means of controlling the process of re-
pair Is essential. But the secret of
stimulating growth by the aid of an
artificial ''optimum medium when the
recuperative forces of the body are spent.
as in illness and old age, should lie very
close to the experiments DR.. Carroll Is
making.

Kindness of History.
from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
History is kind to those successful in
politics. 1t CLOSES their petty failures
and adds luster to their commonplace
efforts. A good many men are today win
ming preferment by their own toilsome
endeavors whom history will record as
having been called, Cincinnatuslike. to
rush to the defense of their fellow-citi-
zens in a crisis. The call of the people
in these days is written by some ones
publicity agent and shouted from stump
to stump by the candidate himself for
the sake of the echo.
Hundreds of men over the country at
this season are scrambling for office. The
successful ones will get some small place
in the annals Of state or nation and those
who fail will be speedily forgotten. And
in both cases the details of the struggle
itself will be lost to memory; all that
remains will be the public's insistent call
to the successful ones to serve it.
Observation of current political activi-
ties Is likely to shake ones faith In the
soundness Of tradition. Were the fathers
quite so self-sacrificing. quite SO thor
oughly conscripts for the public service,
as history would have US believe? Or did
they fight for the honors they acquired,
beseeching the public by all the arts
known to politics to "call'' them to hold
office?

Pilgrims at the Shrine of Liberty.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is reported that over a million per-
sons visited Independence Hall last year
and these pilgrims at the shrine of liberty
represented every state in the Union and
almost every civilized land in the world.
This is gratifying in more ways than one.
and it is to be hoped that many of the
visitors received inspiration in the ven
cradle edifice and that they returned to
their various homes filled with the idea of
liberty under the law.
There never was time in the history
of the United States when there was a
greater need of study of the aims and
purposes Of the republic and no better
place where the lesson can be learned
than Independence HALL The Declara-
ton of Independence and the Constitu-
ton of the United States are two docu-
ments that are worthy of the thoughtful
consideration of all good citizens
They are safe charts for our pilots in
a day when the ship of state is being
steered through uncertain waters.

stage and following his marriage in 1877
to Ellen Franz. the talented heroine of
the Meiningen Court Theater. he devoted
himself to it with a singleness OF purpose
that soon made the "Meiningen" the fore

THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY.
Boston's Famous Faneuil Hall and
Its Builder.


There is a large building now standing
in the city of Boston which was first built
more than ITO years ago, when Boston
was a small town. It was built by a
man named Peter Faneuil. Huguenot
merchant, for a market and a public
hall. Twenty-one years later it was de-
stroyed by fire. but rebuilt soon after.
The hall above this rambling old mar
ket has since been the scene of many a
famous town meeting. illumination. feast
and grafton. In the revolutionary war
it was used as the British garrison. Early
in the nineteenth century 1t held all of
the town offices. Many famous state
dinners and receptions took place there.
and public movements addressed by such
men as Otis, Webster. Everett. sumner,
Parker. Claiming and Phillips had their
origin in the Cradle of Liberty as 1t
has since been fittingly called.
This hall can neither be sold nor leased,
but may be occupied free for meetings
whenever stated number of persons
apply for it. 1t is large, rather ungainly
looking structure. viewed from the out
side. without any attempt at elegance,
and is situated in rather an unattractive
part of the city, where the rumble of
heavy trucks and teams upon the paved
ity that often block them at MONDAY are
not conducive to the high thoughts and
patriotic fervor that, once within the Sc
clusion Of its historic walls. all uncon-
sciously take possession of us.
Surrounded as we are on all sides by
the pictures Of great and good men who
have helped to make our history, our
hearts are thrilled and our pulses quicken

others lend a personality to the place
An old clock that was the gift of
school children many years ago ticks
away the minutes upon the wall. And up
in the cupola there is quaint gilded
weather vane, made by certain Shem
browne in old provincial days, which is
an imitation of similar insect in the
royal exchange, London.
This old hall is of provincial architec-
ture, with broad galleries on Doric pill
lars. and a spacious rostrum which has
been the theater for many a famous ora
ton In bygone days. There are no seats
on the floor. SO that vast audience can
be accommodated.
Above the hall there is an armory
This was the headquarters of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery company In 1893
as a military school for the colonies 1t
is the Oldest organization of the kind in
America This armory contains a valu-
able museum of military relics and curl

Beneath this grand old historic hall
are the stalls of one of Boston's largest
markets Here from morn until night is

Homer's War Correspondence.
m the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The first war correspondent. accord
Ing to a theory propounded by Suther-
land Edwards, appears to have been
Homer, who was sent by the editor of
an Argos paper called the Chronos to
describe the siege of Troy. Hostilities
lasted only about seven weeks, and
when they came to an end the Greek
chiefs were in no hurry to return to
their wives. Homer was a good sort,
and. as he drew large salary and a
handsome allowance for expenses from
the Chronos. he readily accepted the
scheme propounded by the wise Ulyss-
es = to keep the war going in the
columns of his paper SO long as he
could manage to write about it. His
letters were too good not to publish.
and meantime the Greek chiefs had an
enjoyable time at Troy and elsewhere.
Reissued In book form as The Iliad. :"
these early examples of war correspond
ence have enjoyed wider circula-
ton than was possible even in the
columns of the Chronos.

there has been a change.
On one of the streets yesterday a
passerby counted seven automobiles on
one side and thirteen on the other. all
in a single block. In the lot there was
a gas-driven delivery wagon. but there
was not a horse-drawn vehicle to be
seen.
We all know that the automobile is
here, but we seldom realize how great
and how thorough the change from the

JAFFA. July San amusing story of

residence here for insulting the Turk
fish flag. The Austrian had walked about
the streets with the flag wrapped around
one shoe AS it was clear that he wore
the flag in this fashion in order to offend
the Turks, and as the Austrian consul
with the backing Of a powerful govern
ment demanded the mans release. the
Turk on the bench wisely saved the hon

"The cause of the offense is the Shoe"
ruled the resourceful court. You can
therefore take the man, and we will keep
the shoe.'
The Austrian was then released. while
the offending shoe is still doing time"

TOE DANCING NOT MODERN.
Antiquity Is Only One of the Things
Revealed in Discovery.

Foreign Correspondence OF The star.
LONDON, July T.-Toe dancing is not
a comparatively modern French inven-
ton. as is popularity supposed. since a
piece of Egyptian pottery over 1000 years
old. now exhibited by the Institute of
Archaeology. shows a girl taking such
steps in modern ballet style.
The antiquity of toe dancing is only
one of the things revealed by the Egyp-
tan collection brought from Meroe in the
Sudan by Prof. John Garstan. Stones of
astronomical buildings there show con-
siderable knowledge of the heavens
On one stone was sketched an instru-
ment for measuring angles and taking
elevations. while another drawing tends
to show that an effort was made to
measure the circumference of the moon.
Certain marks measuring the shadows of
the sun indicate an effort to get the lati-
tude and longitude of Meroe.
An entirely new language, which is at
present a mystery. was also discovered
by Psychologists here, in certain inscrip-
lions.
