THE GENESIS OF LIFE.
(By ,A. Bunke).
Althougbman is endowed with most
marvellous and most varied powers, and
is able to harness many of the forces of
Nature into his service, and to manufac-
ture appliances and apparatus which are
capable of producing far greater energy
than could be attaulable from any ani-
mate sources, yet to create the vital
principle a Life is altogether and ut.
terly beyond his capacity. It is now uni-
versally admitted practically by all
scientists that life, whether animal or
vegetable, cannot originate spontane-
()ugly, but that all present life upon
this earth nuist be derived from, and
emanate from, Life.
And how marvellous and incomprehen-
sible is this vital principle. Involuntar-
ily and automatically the heart coutin.
nes to beat, with more or less the same
regular throb, thron, throb, without
rest,- without- Teal pause, until, either
by the effluxion of the natural term of
its existence, or by violence, or disease
(in other -words by the instrumentelity
of other and malignant forms of life), or
by other life destroying agency, that
pulsation is invested. And, once defin-
etely stopped, no power on earth an
reanimate that vital spark.
,And too -with vegetable life, a form of
the vital principle much more persistent
and diutUrnal, the tremendous force
which, silently and automatically, drives
the sap through the stem of a plant,
far exceeds that which impels the blood
through the veins of any animal. It
is calculated that the impetuswith
evhich the sap is driven through a vine -
stem is five times as powerful as that
which forces the blood through the ar-
teriesof a horse; and even such a hum-
ble form of vegetable life as a fungus
exerts, in its growth, sufficient force
to lift and displace a heavy paving
stone beneath which a minute spore
has drifted. In consequence too of this
vigorous vitality as .a general Tule the
growth of plants is far more rapid than
that of animals. The bamboo grows at
the rate of six inches daily; while nom
a minute seed, almost imperceptible, the
giant puff -ball in a single night grows
to the size of a gourd. The scientist
Lindley caleulated that this strange fun-
gus during its twelve hours' growth pro-
duces cells at the rate of ninety-six mil-
lions per minute!
Aye, and only an omnipotent Creator
could have originated life upon the
earth. He spake the word—Let there he
life; first the vegetable, then the ani-
mal, then man. But to man also was
granted the living soul, which never
dies; and according to the conduct of
the earth -life, so will be the deathly
for the Bout -life. For He who by His
power created man, demands from him
obedience to Ilis commands, as set out
out in His Hoiy Word. But those sacred
pages also coevey the glad 'Have that
every breath of His law may be ex-
piated, and eternal life gained, by sim-
ply coming for pardon to the Saviour of
the world, who Himself on the cross
made atonement for them.

The Balkan region may be ealled
above all things the lend of -confusion,
It is the land. of war, the land of rapine,
of cruelty, of treachery, of tyranny, of
alined all thths evil, bite above all it
Is the land of cantle:den. It lute been so
tor 1,600 neare,
The confusion began with that inert-
elen of berbath1119 Which overthrew the
Roman EMpire. The wild tribes which
wept down over.the Carpethiana or in
from the atemies of Russia found it In
the enjoyllient of the Greek and Rellettil
civilization, Some of theni swept ore

tangled up the civilization they found
with their own barbaric en:atones, They
created a Moan confuelon which ia stfll
at the bottom of all the other confusiens
that make up the Balkan, problem.
In a" ieritory not Vellelt bigger than
France /here era te be found to -day the
dtstie et searvivals of three races Ring
back -co primitive times. The Albanian,
Rumanian encl. Greek peoples are lineal'
descendants of peoples who have held'

The Albaniaes are 1)f the old illyriae
stock. Every one knows who the Greeks
are. The Rumanians are nobody quite
knows who, but most likely the Thea.
elm% of old tlays with a. strong Roman
modification, not to speak of various
subsequent admixtures,
Mixture indeed is the racial law of the
Balkans, Only the Illyrian blood ie
approximately pure. Even the Greeka
of to -clay havo a large percentage of
Slavic blood in them.
The original Bulgars were a Finno-
Tartar peaple, akin to the Magyars. But
the rime has been so nearly ash:dieted
by the Shin% people whom, they found
in the regions where they settled that
the present Bulgarieue, deapite the
name, are far -more Slav than Thiranian
be their characteristics.
Next after the Illyrian% ter Albanians,
the Serbs are the purest blooded Balkan
people. But they are a comparatively
recent anrival. Thee are probably 90
per cent. Slants. The rano has been only
slightly modified. by the peoples whom
they oveythrew end intermarried with
when they took possession of Servia,
Bosnia, Herzegovina., Novibazar and
IVIoutenegro where they now make up a
majority' of the population.
Tangle of Population.
But the racial confusion is not hi the
blood alone. It is still more remarkable
in the matter of location.
For instance, of the 4,000,000 Bulgars
who live in the Balkans only about 2,-
700,000 live in Bulgaria itself, while the
rest inhabit Russia, Rumania., Austria,
Hungary and the Turkish provinces, es-
pecially Macedonia. On. the other hand,
the balance of the 4,000,000 population
of Bulgaria. is made up of Turks, Ru-
manians, Greeks, Gypsies (52,000 of
them), Spanish Jews (27,500), Tartars
and samples of all the ether nationalities
of Europe.
There are to -day 8,000,000 Serbs, but
only 2,500,000 of them live in Sonia,.
The rest are scattered over Montenegro,
Bosnia, Herzegovina, Novibazar, Croatia,
Slavonia. South Hungary, Istria and Dal.
matio, In Rumania 92 per cent, of tho
people are Wallachs—that is, Rumanians
—but only half of the Ruraftnian race
inhabits that kingdom the other half
being found in TransAvenia, wbieh. is
Aintriain in Bessarabia now under Rus-
sian rule; in Servia ad in Bulgaria.
The Albanian% or Arnauts—they all
themselves Shkipetars, by the way—have
kept their territory pretty free of
straegera. TLey are pothaps the wildest
people in the world, and it % said that
only Pyrrhus the Great ever conquered
them; but besides the 2,000,000 of them
inhabiting Albania' the western shore of
the Adriatic southof Montenegro, there
are 200,000 of them in Greece and 100,-
000 in southern Italy.
As for Macedonia to describe tbe nen-
fusion of races is tdmost impossible. The
characteristic fact is the tendency of all
the races to flock by themselves. There
is mixture in the towns and Share are a
few villages in which Turks, Bulgars and
Greeks live together, but for the most
part each of these three peoples has its
own settlements.
You will find a Bulgarian village more
Bulgatian than any in Prince Ferdirtand's
dominions, and a few miles from it there
will be a Greek village as Greek as any
in the Peloponnesus. Making a. triangle
with the other two, a, Turkish village
will be :found v,here every man wears a
fez and every woman goes veiled.
The Religious War.
The tangle of religions is almost °pal-
ly remarkable. There are the Moham-
medans and there are the Christians, but
there are Christians of the Orthodox
Greek Church; whom the Roman Whe-
lks call schismatie, and there are
Christians of the other Greek Church,
whom the Roman Catholics call orthodox
and who are allied to Rome through the
hierarchy of the Grecian Kingdom.
11 niay fairly be said that the hatred
between the two sects of Christians is
°itan more bitter than that between
Christian and Turk. It is a leading if
not the leading factor in the Macedonian
troubles of to -day, and the unspeakable
atrocities which make Macedonia the
raost distressful country in the world
are just as frequently peepetreted by
Greek Catholics upon Bulgarian orthos
dox &unbitten or by Bulgarians Upon
Greek Catholics as by the Mohammedans
upon either.
The Greek Church is the church of the
majority of the people and bus the State
ehtlrelt in Bulgaria, Servia and Rom
mania. In Bosnia those ef the Greek
orthodox etilnInimion are about 43 per
out, of the population, the Mohamme-
dans about 85 and the Roman Catholics
21.
In Albite% the great majority of the
people are Mobaminedane, though fierce-
ly hostile to the Turkish Government.
There are, however, about 200,000 Chris-
tians equally divided between the two
sects who hate each other, the Molutin-
mediters, Albanians Rea the Turks, With
an impartial hatred.

• Servlass Heroic Period.
Servia also has its heeele period. In
1050 Michael, its Grand Shupan, was
recognized as an independent sovereign
by Pope Gregory VII, Ito power reached
it climax between 1331 and 1335, when
Stephen Dushan celled himself the Em-
peror of the Rumelittns and ruled ovex
territory whielt embraced Bosnia, AI.
bailie, Macedonia, Theseely, part of Bul-
garia eud Greece as far as the Istineue
of Corinth.
Stephen Duthan % the greet hero of
Servien legend. He lies buried in the
Staidenitza Monastery in Servia, and
when King Peter was called to the
throne he made a pilgrimege thither and
kissed the dead Emperor's brow.
The remains, wrapped in their ancient
winding sheet, are encased in a COffin of
black wood and on the breast lies a gold -

of silver with a crimson velvet top and
it great silver cross upon it.
When the Obrenovitches were in power
in Servia this gorgeous easement waa
hidden away in the cellar of the monas-
tery and King Alexander and Queen
CPraga presented a wonderful set of
golden vestments to be used in the great
ceremonies of the monastery church.
Nowadays the vestments are in hiding
in the cellar and the silver coffin is in
evidence again. The Servians expect the
Emperor Stephen to reappear as a sort
of a Meseittle
Turkish Conquest.
The overthrow of Serval was finally
completed, by the Sultan Mohammed II.,
who, having taken Constantinople in
1453, devoted his attention to the Bal-
kan region, From this time until the
beginning of the nineteenth century Ser -
via had practically no history, but an
offshoot from ite peoplekept up the
fight against the Turks unceasingly and
without ever being overcame.
After the battle of Kossovo, 1 1389,
a band of refugees under ;One Ivo, the
black, took possessien of the rugged
mountain tract just above Cattaro,
the Adriatic shores. .The region was
named Tzarnagora, or the Black Moun-
tain, the Montenegro of to -day.
Ivo is atiOther of the heroes whom the
Serbs expeet to come hank some deg
and help drive the Turks out of Europe.
The Montenegrins still weer a badge of
mourning in their caps for hire. His
spirit has certainly been continually
alive in the little realm that lie found-
ed. Under its Prince Bishope, who awe
ceeded each other for more than three
centuries from uncle to nephew, Mon-
tenegro has not only resisted Turkish
conquest but hes frequently sent arm-
ies out into Novibazardrtfid Mecedonia,
and inflicted tremendous losses upon
the /soldiers of the Porte.
The Great Awakening.
Elba a singular circumstance that the
awakening against the Turkish domin-
ation which lasted for nerudy 350 years
after the conquest showed itself in sev-
eral regimes about the same time, Just
at the period when Alexander Ypsilante
was putting an end to Turkish misrule
in the country which is now Rumania,
the Greeks were starting that heroic
struggle for independents) in whith Lord
Byron played a picturesque part. The
Servians simultaneously began a bitter
and determined fight to throw off Turk-
ish
In 1804 Kara George, Who was cer-
tainly a peasant and perhaps a brigand,
finding that he was down on a list of
persons to be massacred, took to the
mountains and raised the standard of
revolt, He defeated the Turkish force
and in 1800 be took possession of Bel-
grade.
The Russians helped. him for a while
then deseeted him, and he was obliged
to take refuge in Hungary.. The Turks
swept over the country in 1814 with
murder and pillage. They crucified 300
Christians at Belgrade. But now one
of the lieutenants of Kara George began
to loom up with new strength. This as
Milos& Obrenoviteh, also a peasant,
a swineherd who had acted as sPy for
Kara George in the esialy part of the
struggle. His bands in 1815 made sueh
headway against the Turks that the Sul-
tan was forced to make terms with hini,
Kra George came heck into the coon -
but Milosch betrayed him to the
Turks, who kilted him. Rivalry thus re.
moved, Miloseh had himself proclaimed
in. 1817 hereditary prince of Servla.
In 1830 the antonom, of the prima
pality was recognized by the Porte and
then began its tarbulett career as a
European State, The descendants of
Kant George and of Miloschintrigued
and conspired for the throne.
The Obrenovitehes were deposed in
DMZ and the Katagorgovitches seized
the tit% of prince, A few yeate later a
prince of their line was assassinated and
the Obrenovitchas came back, and thus
it was that Prince Milan, an Obreno-
vitch, found lifitiself on the throne at the
era of the ilusso-Turkish wars
Another region in which the standard
of revolt was raised in the beginning of
the nineteenth eentury Was the south -
ere seetion of Albania, where the famous
or infamous Ali Pasha, the lion of Jan-
ina, established for a few brief yearn

Servia's Dark Story.
The history of leery% since the Treaty
of Berlin has been one of material pro-
gress.' The capital, Belgrade, has been
practically rebuilt and modernized in
the last thirty years; the tradeo2the
country has been greatly increased; its
industries and agriculture are Hanish -
Ing. Its government, however, has been
a troublous affair.

years of capricious rule, such as might
be expected of a bay who was half a
genius, half an idiot.
The end ca,me In June, 1903. Some say
it was an Austrian plot to cause chaos
which would have justified the Austro-
Hungarian Kaiser in seizing and annex-
ing Servia in his dominions. Others
hold that the endurance of Alexander
had reached. its limit and that *it was
to prevent savage despotism and masa-
ore that regieride was decided on.
Anyway, the fact is that on the night
of June 10th the regiments quartered in
the capital surrounded the royal palace
and after a long and fevered search, in

What all these new countries need is

enormous mineral wealth which England
would be glad to develop were it not
for the war risk.
The Lure of Southern California.
For over a quarter of a century, or
since 1884 or 1885, there has been an
extraordinary movement from all over
the country to the southWesterneportion
of the United_ States, the sleepy region
of the old Sparkish dons who, for cen-
tunes, lived and owned principalities on
the shores of the Pacific, literally be-
tween the desert and the deep sea, the
great American desert reselling out to
the east, a dominant terror alike to
friends and enemies.
This movement had taken the shape
of -tourists' excursions, -very similar to
the throngs who yearly migrate to the
south of France and Italy, but with this
exception: in Europe they are tourists,
pure and simple; they rarely remain,
while the men and weeneli, generally
rich or well-to-do, who have braved the
terrors of the great "Ameriean Desert,"
have in so many instaoces succumbed
to the clime*, eeenie and other therms
of southern California that in a guar -
