New York. Nov. 2S.-Unless Jess Will

Fulton today holds an unquestioned

les all down the line, including Carl
Morris. There isn't a good big man in
his way now for chance at the title.
He has been willing to slug his way
to prominence.
Willard has stated there is no public
demand for his appearance. He has as.

A CeoIouicaI Discovery.

The minuteness and perfect state of
preservation of some of the remains
found in the rocks of organisms Which,
lived untold millions of years ago is
beautifully shown by the researches OF
Prof. F. w. Oliver on an archaic type
of seeds discovered in the lower coal
measures of Lancashire. These seeds
are only about one-ffth of an inch long
but under the microscope their tntegn~
ment is seen to possess ten ribs, which
project like little arms from the top
of the nucleus. Many pollen cells were
discovered and these have been sec
toned, and what appears to be fossil
sperms, occurring in pairs in each pol
len cell, have been detected. The
plants that bore these seeds have not
yet been traced.
