Elologists Unable to Find Case of Spontaneous Generation, Biologists having failed to prove any caee of spontaneous generation, Profes- sor Svante Arrhenius is attracted by the idea. that all life has had a common m'i- gin, and has spread front the single coerce to ninny worlds. The discovery of the pressure of light has ridded prob- ability to panspermy, which teethes that life germs aro conveyed through inter- stellar apace, At the railway speed of 37 tuilea an hour, a body would occupy 130 years in gohtg front the earth to Mars, and 70,000,000 years In travers- ing the distance to the nearest fixed star, but with the pressure of radiation ae motive power the journeys might be reduced to 20 days and 0,000 years re- spectively. Even these seem long inter- vals for germs and spores to survive the drynese, cold and light. Recent in• vestigatione indicate, however, that some germs are proof against any cold, that the 10,11 I n of light is oxidation and is ab- sent in n vacuum that the loss of vital. ity in the cold of apace would be ono thousand million times less rapid than at 50 degrees F., and that desoleeation would be no greater in millions of years than in ono day at 50 degrees. Hence it may he that interstellar space is tea - versed at enormous speed by living germs that develop life on reaching favorable planets. Bathe tine Baby with Mira Skin Soap.

SCIENCE OF STOKIN Clouds of Smoke Could be Eliminated by Proper Firing, According to the best authority, the trailing clouds of black smoke from mill and factor;' that hang over so many American cities, darkening the atmos- phere and' befouling the buildings, could be eliminated if the scientific methods of constructing chimneys and stoking furnaces that prevail in Germany were adopted here. It is not every strapping laborer who can shovel coal that is permitted to stoke a boiler furnace in Oonnuity. The eteker in that country must learn the fahoory and practice of economical scien- tific firing, whereby the coal is 00 dis- tributed over the grate furnaeo as to secure the most perfect combustion. The nee of fuel briquettes for domes- tic purposes in Berlin also'tenda largely to the prevention of smoke. RIytGWORM STUBBORN CASE HEALED BY ZAM-BUIL.
