DEATHLESS SMICRO-ORGANISMS.
French Scientist Finds Living Ones in
Paper 900 Years Old.

Most extraordinary living micro-or-
ganisms have been discovered in pa
per. These harmless entities possess
remarkable resistance TO heat and TO
time. They survive for hundreds, even
thousands, of years; and then, under
certain circumstances regain their ac-
tivity. The Paris correspondent of the
journal of the American Medical As
sociation writes of a communication
on these organisms which DR. Galippe
presented recently before the French
Academy of Sciences.
However little one may know about
the processes Of manufacture, il is not
surprising that paper contains many
spondent, and continues "But it was
generally supposed that these were
destroyed In the course of the many
operations which are undergone in the
stages from pulp to paper. Now, ac-
cording to the researches OF Galippe,
this IS not the case, and all papers in
use harbor living and cultivable micro
organisms. What is more, these or
ganisms offer considerable resistance to
heat, since filter paper may be subjected
for half an hour 10 temperature of l20
9 in an autoclaye without the least effect
on them.
"Galippe was able TO study a frag-
ment of papyrus of the Ptolemaic epoch,
that is, dating back to about 200 B. G.
The structural elements Of the papyrtis
were unchanged and the vegetable cells
and fibres of which it was built up were
found intact The cells had not only pre-
served their form and reciprocal relations,
but IN some OF them were again found per-
fectly distinguishable micro-organisms.
After three hours contact with sterile wa
centuries, regained their activity and show
ed themselves endowed with motion. More
than that, when placed in favorable cul-
ture medium they multiplied, and their
mode Of development and the different
phases Of their evolution could readily be
studied"

.OBREGON IS ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Victory Conceded, Though Voting
Was Light Rivals Make
Poor Showing.

Mexico City, Sept 6.--The election Of
General Alvaro Obrcgon as President Of
Mexico is generally conceded as result
of the voting throughout the republic
yesterday. Complete returns may not be
received for several days.
Election Day passed peacefully in
Mexico and nearby towns. The vote was
light, and Dominguez made poor show
ing. Workingncn and farm hands polled
a majority of the votes, few business men
going to the polls.
Obregon had two nominal opponents,
neither off, whom was taken seriously
though Alfredo Robles Dominguez,. nomi-
mated by the National Republican party,
was expected to receive considerable sup
port among the conservative Catholic
element.
The other opponent, Nicolas Zuniga
Miranda, is known as Mexico's perpetual
candidate and is believed to be unbalanced
He has been Presidential candidate for
the last 80 years, having begun during the
early days of the Diax regime, when he
was considered as merely foil for that
virtual dictator.
Dominguezs campaign was taken se-
riously in the present elections. but it was
regarded as an attempt to feel out the
strength of the Catholic following and
prepare the ground for placing strong
united Catholic party in the field for the
next Presidential elections to succeed
Obregon.

STRIKERS HONORED
IN LABOR PARADE
Several Thousand B. r. T. Men
Head Line of March
in Brooklyn.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
New York, Sept 6.-Organized labor
in New York, in addition to celebrating it's
national holiday today, also helped oh-
serve, with fitting exercises, the ami
versaries of the birth of Lafayette and
the fist battle of the Marne.
There was no general parade of labor
organizations in Manhattan, following
the custom of recent years, but the prin-
cipal demonstration of the day was in
Brooklyn. Several thousand striking
employees of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company were given the place of honor
in the line of march.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, Democratic
nominee for vice-president, was sche-
duled to make one of the addresses In a
park, following the parade.
The principal Lafayette-Marne eele-
bration IN this vicinity was at the United
States Military Academy at West Point
with Herbert c. Hoover as the principal
speaker. The program included the read
ing of messages of greeting from Premier
Milerand, Ambassador Jusserard, Mar
shals Foch. Joffre and Haig, General
Pershing, Senator Harding and Governor
Cox
The New York committee of five hun
dred in charge Of the program, cabled
a message to Ambassador Jusserand
congratulating him upon the splendid
outcome" of his mission to Warsaw.
General Wetgand's name, with yours
and Premier Millerand's, who commits
stoned YOU BOTH the message read,
"personify French support, thanks to
which liberty triumphed at the Nistula,
Poland's Marne"
Industrial Workers of the World and
other radicals planned TO hold meetings
throughout the city and make renewed
pleas for the release of political priso-
ners." The principal speakers at these
meetings were announced as William ID.
Haywood, /. W. W. leader, and Dudley
Field Malone, candidate for governor on
the Farmer-Labor ticket.
The program of sporting events in
New York was unusually attractive, in
cluding the final match for the American
tennis championship at Forrest Hills;
the opening days play of the national
amateur golf championship tournament at
Roslyn, l.. l.; the Middle States, regatta
on the Harlem River, and a double
header baseball game at the Polo grounds
between the New York and Philadelphia
Americans.

HEL|GOLAND FORTS
DIFFICULT To DESTROY
Highest Forms of Explosives En-
ployed for the Demolition of
the Steel Work.

London, Sept. MANY interesting
details Of the demolition Of the fortresses
on Heligoland are furnfshed by a special
correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph
who made trip TO the island. Helig0land
had been transformed by the Germans
into something very like a stationary
ship Of war.
From one end 10 the other the island
which Is little more than a mile long and
only about one-ffth Of square mile in
area, was tunneled and honeycombed
with subterranean chambers. In these
were accommodations for every one and
everything needed to fight the, fortress
apartments for officers and men hospitals.
engine rooms and storehouses. II the
island had been in serious action, not
a single man need have shown himself
IN the light of day.
Three years is the German estimate Of
the time required 20 dlsmantle the fort
ress completely, and apparently the
Entente has accepted the estimate as
reasonable. The shortage of special ap-
paratlis and the need OF caution in the
use of high explosives are the retarding
factors in the deUnolitlon.
Although something like 10000 tons
OF steel works must be picked TO pieces,
tlifS ttSk y easy NfiEN compared 10 the
tremendous work OF breaking up the
concrete. OF this substance, which is
reinforced with iron rods as big las a
mans finger, the tunnels and pits on the
island contain 146 900 cubic yards, while
a further 100000 cubic yards were used
in the construction Of the war harbor,
quays and other work on the beach level
In the dissection Of the guns and armor
mates a uayy oxvhyflr0Uar r,r0eaSs -
being employed. 1t is German invention
and was first put into practice only a
few months ago. The fame by which the
cutting is done is so hot that it bites its
way through to the center oi the breach
of twelve-inch gun in about a minute.
BY this process the armor plates of
the turrets and cupolas on. Heligoland
are being eutsup into practicable sec
tions and the guns into lengths Of three
or four feet each With steel at its pre-
sent price, the debris will realize a large
sum, although the cost of transportation
to the mainland will be heavy.

FACTS ABOUT SOLAR SYSTEM.
Can't We Predict Winters Severity b.
Watching Ice Caps Of Mars7

Send wireless messages to Mars and
Venus. and the possibility of projecting
a rocket TO the moon, are subjects of
very recent speculation which have ex-
cited keener interest in our solar system.
Mars always challenges interest, !"
SAYS William Joseph Showaltcr in an
article In a recent issue Of the National
Geographic Magazine, Its day is about
the same length as ours, but its year is
nearly twice as long. Although as
tronomers generally take less interest
than layrnen in the surmise as to whether
other planets and stars are inhabited,
since they, more than laymen, realize
that this is a problem that must in all
human probability remain unsolved, the
question is more often asked about
Mars than any other planet.
Venus was an unusually interesting
object in the sky during July of last
year Not again until February, 1921,
will it appear as bright and fair in the
evening sky 1t has phases like the
moon, and these can be seen even through
good field glass. Its day is believed
10 be the same length as its year, which
is pa of our days.
''It is quite generally believed that
Mars has ice-apped poles. The tel
escope revels white spots at the poles
that have every appearance of being
like our ocean polar region. They adj
vance toward the equator IN winter and
retreat In summer In the summer Of
1916, Pickering. who, with Lowell, has
led the school of astronomers, who b,
lieve they can see canals on Mars. said
that he found the white caps stretching
further down toward the equator than
he had ever seen them before
s'He said that If there was any con-
nection between the weather Of Mars
and that of the earth, the winter Of
1o16-17 would be the coldest in many
years. And il was. May it yet be pos
sible to do long-range weather forecasting
on the earth by studying the waxing and
waning of the ice-cap on the South Pole
of Mars?
Perhaps our most graphic picture of
the solar system is given by Herschel
Imagine a circular field two and a half
miles in diameter; place a library globe
two feet in diameter in the very center;
eighty-two feet away put mustard
seed The globe will represent the sun
and the mustard seed Mercury.
"At distance of 142 feet place a
pea, and another at 2l5 feet These
will represent Venus and the earth, both
as to size and distance. A rather large
pinhead at a distance of 327 feet will
speak for Mars, and fair sized tango
rine a quarter of a mile distant will
stand for Jupiter. small lemon at
two-hfths of mile will play the role Of
Saturn, large cherry three-fourths of
a mile distant will answer for Uranus,
and fair sized plum at the very edge
Of the field will proclaim Neptune.

TRENTON, July 8:-Rent prof.
teers in Jersey City today came out
victorious in the litigation they
brought against Director of Reve-
nue. and Finance Cannon, of that
city. to curb them. when the su-
preme court, in an opinion by JUS
tice Swayze, set aside three resolu-
tions which were passed there to
relieve the situation.
The resolutions provided respec-
lively for an investigation of all
cases of exorbitant rent raising and
for the discretionary use of money
by the director of revenue and A.
nance to defend tenants in such
case, directed that the warrants for
the money be drawn on the city
treasurer, required that the owners
of property file with the city clerk a
copy of any notice he might serve
upon tenants to leave or informing
them of a raise in rent.
Justice Swayze held that the first
two resolutions are clearly Illegal,
as the state constitution clearly pro-
vides that city shall not give any
money or property or loan to any
Individual association or corpora
tion. I'VE think this includes the
advancement of city money to de-
fend private litiganrs in their suit,
he said.
The decision of the court is of in
terest in view of the fights going on
all over the state against the rent
profiteers. Justice Swayze further
held that the idea that the Walsh
commission act permits such meas
ures as Jersey city adopted. is err
roneous.
1.-THE curious notion that the au-
thority given by the Walsh commits
sion government act to the city to
pass ordinance necessary for the
protection of life, health and pro-
erty and>to preserve and enforce
the good government and general
welfare, order and security of the
city authorizes an appropriation of
this kind, hardly requires notice"
said the decision of Justice Swayze.
''It is enough to say that any au-
thority of the city government to
