REDI'S EXPERIMENT.
Out of It C c\. the C • ' Fitbris ov the
CI : 7-1
It was u ;:;;e<! I e!iei' of the ancients*
that many livi'i; creatures could come
Into existence inn spontaneous fash
lon, to which allusion has often been
made. The true beginning of the germ
theory arose out of a ludicrously sim
ple observation made by liedi, a Flor
entine physician, about the middle of
the seventeenth century. He debated
with his confreres in Florence the
question of the origin of the maggots
appearing in decomposing meat. The
old view held, of course, that the mag
gots were bred within dead and putre
fying substances. Uedi. taking a piece
of meat, covered the mouth of the Jar
In which it was contained with a piece
vf fine gauze. HP beheld the tiesh flies,
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft
er the manner of their kind, in the de
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
tggs were laid on the surface of the
gauze and the maggots there hatched
out, while the decay of the meat went
on uninterruptedly without a single
maggot appearing In its substance.
On this childishly simple experiment
the great fabric of the germ theory of
today was founded, for if the law of
universal parentage applied to the case
of maggots and meat it was clear, ar
gned lledi, that it must apply univer
sally. Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true, and so to
day, when our attention Is focused upon
germs or microbes so minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds of
thousands ot them on the surface of a
postage stamp, we again come face to
face with Itedi's first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from a preceding and parental organ
ism.—Brooklyn Eagle.
MISTAKES IN TITLES.
"Love's Discourses" Has Nothing to
Do With Cupid's Pranks.
It is interesting to collect certain of
the instances of mistakes in regard to
the titles of books. Thus the old fann
er who asked for "Edgworth on Irish
Bulls" got no doubt something lie did
not expect, and the dainty youth who
applied for "Love's Discourses" did
not really wish a volume of sermons
by Christopher Love. If application is
made by messenger, mistakes of a dif
ferent sort may occur. An excitable
boy otice asked for Bishop Cocks and
Hen's "Earnest Communicant;" he
meant Bishop Oxendcn's. Similarly by
Warnc's "Moral Cookery" ho meant
his "Model Cookery." A maid forgot
nil about the title of the book she had
been sent for except that it was
"something like tomato soup." Sho
was served with "lied Pottage."
It may have been a fault of pronun
ciation 011 the part of the purchaser
who asked for "rubber bands" that he
received a copy of "Robert Burns," but
it was certainly the bookseller who
was at sea who referred an applicant
for "Vega's Logarithmic Tables" to tlio
"funiture department." In cataloguing
booksellers frequently err. Thus Mr.
Madan, the Oxford scholar, who wrote
a grammar and dictionary of the Swa
heli language, had those works cata
logued as "Madam Swaheli's Gram
mar" and in the line beneath, "Do. do.
Dictionary." Recently, too, a book of
Mr. Lucas', "A Swan and Her
Friends," giving an account of Miss
Seward, "the swan of Lichfield," was
classified as "Annie Swan and Her
Friends."—Manchester Guardian.
That Settled It.
The commissioners in lunacy were
nonplused. The man on whose mental
condition the courts had appointee
them to pass seemed perfectly sane ir
spite of all testimony to the contrary
His every action, his every remark
was rational. They were about to giva
up in despair when matters took an
unexpected turn. "Oh, doctor, permit
me to return the umbrella I borrowed
from you last week," said the patient.
And then, at the thought of earning
their fees with no qualms of con
science, the learned men decided that
any one who would voluntarily return
a borrowed umbrella should be placed
under restraint.
This simply proves how trifles will
ever mold our destinies.—New York
Times.
He Followed Directions.
Ited tape leads one to curious
lengths. A writer in the Columbus
Dispatch tells of a street railway car
that picked up a young heifer on its
fender and carried it some distance
through the street.
In making out the required report to
the superintendent the employee wrote
in answer to the query on the blank
form, "What did the victim say?"
"She was carried along on the fender
and then rolled off and ran away
without saying a word."
The Wr.y Out.
"Think, love!" said Mrs. Gobsa
Golde. "I ordered a dinner gown, and
that tiresome dressmaker has sent me
a traveling suit."
"Well, what are you going to do
about it?'' Gobsa Golde demanded.
"The only thing is for us togo
abroad again," she sighed.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Amiable.
"They say Thelma's husband is a
very amiable man."
"Amiable! I should say so! I have
known that man to laugh at a joke
when he wr.s taking down the stove
pipe."—Baltimore American.

duct perfect, but it Is easy to make it

Send for This Free Bulletin.
The Pennsylvania State College has
issued a bulletin giving full informa
tion about the courses of study offered
in the School of Agriculture and Ex
periment Station. It describes the
work required in the seven four years'
courses and the two years' course
and makes interesting reading for
any one who wishes to know the
kind of training that is given young
men who want to become expert farm
ers, or teachers, experimenters. A
study of the pages of this bulletin is
convincing that the instruction is moat
practical. A young man fitted for
entrance to college usually selects one
of the four years' courses. The two
years' course is designed for those who
want instruction in agriculture but
have not time or opportunity to fit
themselves for a full college course, or
else do not seo their way clear to spend
four years in college. The two years'
course can be taken without any en
trance examinations.
Last year the School of Agriculture
enrolled 108 men in the freshman class,
5.1 men in the sophomore, 25 in the
junior, and 16 in the senior. The en
rollment in the two years' course was
40. Ninety persons entered the winter
courses of twelve weeks.
The bulletin i 3 free. It gives the
dates for the beginning of all courses,
including the winter courses and
"farmers' week." Ask for the "May
Bulletin," addressing the School of
