Living Organisms

 Amber Many Years


 Paris, May 13.-Living organisms imprisoned in amber and believed tc be incomparably older than the mi crobcs found in Egyptian paryri, have been discovered by Dr. Galippe, of the French Academy of Science, and it is thought by some biologists that these organisms may probably be among the early elements possession life, to in habit the earth.
 Amber is said to have been formed in the very early stages of the earth $ history but Dr. Galippe is convinced the nicro- organisms could only have been imprisoned in the amber while il was in course of formation.
 As soon as these organisms were set free from their prison they are said to have manifested very evident signs of life and, when carefully cultivated developed great activity. The organ isms are of course very elementary but this fact detracts little from the from a period far earlier than that of marvel that they are living survivals prehistoric man.

WIGHT TRY THIS,
ON CANDELABRA
Looks Like SUeH Chance to
Chin With Mars.

NEW YORK, March s.-Prof Clarence
Errol Ferree of Bryn Mawr has just
completed a series of experiments, it has
become known, consisting of lighting
candle, walking away from it and then
turning around and looking at It until
the point is reached where 1t is barely
perceptible. Then measuring the dis
lance back to the candle and multiplying
that by $4,000, 900, which represents the
number of miles intervening between us
and the planet Mars, Prof. Ferree gets
zee, 600, 000, 0O0,0O0 and fraction over
This Is not as simple as 1t appears be-
cause absorption and refraction and all
that sort of thing have to be deducted.
The point is, however, that all the
light that would be needed to signal
Mars so that a Marian astronomer. look
ing through a telescope would, know that
somebody was endeayoring to get his at
tention would be 766 trillion candle pow
and a fraction over. Some expert
mentors do not get the fraction, although
a decimal should be added or subtracted
according to whether or not the Marian
'stronomer uses telescope or opera
glasses.
y The very largest manufacturers OF
searchiights, it is reported from Prof
Ferree's studio, only turn out a feeble
little thing of 1880 .0O0,0 900 candle power
but assuming of course that 606.25O of
these could be gathered together some
evening that, 1t is evident would have
the desired effect. The only other pos
sible hitch in the interplanetary signal
ing would be how to know whether the
folks up on Mars observed the ray of
light and if so what they thought about
it, if anything.

'Lo, the poor Indian" or at least the

world, who has just bequeather a million
dollars for the erection of a hospital in

barnett is 81 years old, a Greek az

the forcibie allotment of Hand in what
was proven as the Gushing oil field the
most reliable producing district in the
midcontinent area.
without a squaw or a relative in the

He can not buy a new buggy without Sc

by nature a bit stingy in his personal

The hospital plan is the idea of Cate

IL occurred to Mr.. Sells that Barnett
might be glad TO partici pate In a rea

he might witness before he goes to the
happy hunting ground. SO he worked
out the hospital Idea for the benefit Of
the 10000 Indians Of Oklahoma, hun
