DON'T TRY TO KILL A RATS TAIL
1T JUST CAN'T BE DONE
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, Aug. 1e.-How hard it
is to kill rats tails may be inferred
from the fact that after a number of
tails had been dried for eight days
and heated for two hours at a tenn
perature of 80 degrees they were sue
cessfully grated to living rats. All
of which appears in the latest report
of the Smithsonian Institution just off
the press; so it must be true.
Other peculiar things about the
resurrection of apparently dead forms
of life appear in this report in an ar
ticle by Paul Becquerel, the eminent
French scientist. He writes on la
tent life, and particularly on the abil-
ity of certain germs to come to life
after they would seem by all rules of
ordinary life to be thoroughly dead.
He tells how the rOtifers of the gut
ter and the water bears" may re-
main dried up for five months amid
MOSES or dust without eVidencing
the slightest trace of life, and when
moistened resume their vital func-
lions. Another little animal discoV-
cred by Becquerel, an animal with a
life cycle of ten months, was resur-
rected after being slowed away for
% years.
The rat tail experiment was con-
Quoted to find out how long the IiV-
ing elements in flesh would continue
and against what adverse conditions.
BecquereI. himself experimental with
seeds, bringing to life some which
had lain dormant for from % to 81
years. He subjected them in certain
cases also to great heat and cold; also
to wet and dry conditions, discover

sistent, being something like that

Walter Sandry was forgotten or
passed over.
An hour later he stood alone in the
middle Of a tiny oom at the south
of the building, looking fixedly at the
yellow fame of a glass hand-lamp on
a stand. Under the lamp was a woolly
mat of bright red yarn, a wonderful
creation-under that a thin, white
scarf, beautifully clean, the ironed
creases standing out stitly. Beside
the lamp lay a pink-lipped conch shell
and a Bible.
Sandry looked longest at the Bible
beside the lamp and presently he took
it up curiously, lingering it with a quiz
zical, weary smile.
It's edges were thin and frayed and
he noticed that it was greatly worn.
Walter Sandry smiled and glanced
at random through the book.

father-heart stared up at him. "Oh,

their anguish. With a snap he closed

The Wondrous Hills at Dawn.
He was awakened next morning by
the thunder of heavily shod men storm
Ing in from the clubhouse. The smell
Of cooking was in the air and the
crack under his door showed lamp
light.
The rain was still dripping softly
from the caves. AS Sandry came into
the eating room the old woman of the
kitchen was looking oyer the crowd
Of men as impersonally as he himself
had done the night before, with a
poise as assured and a subtle force as
strongly indicated.
Her bright, old eyes, blue as his
own, met his lifted glance as he hest
tated.
Set down in the place you had last
night, Mr.. Sandry," she said in a rich
voice. cts yours now. JohnIl move

She went back into the mysterious
region Of pies and d%oughnuts, and
Sandry was conscious of a slight feel
ing of wonder. He was already taken
In as one Of the family In a subtle
way, and it did not quite suit him to
be SO. II he missed certain lifelong
attributes of service and surrounding,
II he took his place among these
rough men with an inward tremOr OF
rebellion, he made no sign.
Again the girl he had met on the
farther side Of the mountain tended
In silence, a tribe more aloof. She
was clad in the same sort of blue fan
mel shirt the men wore, with a red
tie under the rundown collar and a
rather short blue skirt showing ner
feet laced trinity into miniature boots.
The latter were even full of small
steel caulkL.
It was still dark when the loggers
trooped OF into the fine rain.
John Dailv came to him.
"Now, wha. would you like, Mr.. San
