THE CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST.
It Should Be Merely a Preparation For
Dinner.
The Christmas breakfast as well as
the Christmas lunch or supper should
be light, but none tho less attractive.
In some families it is the custom to
distribute Christmas gifts at the break
fast table, placing them at tho plates of
those for whom they are intended bo
fore they enter tho room.
A nice gift for tho housewife is some
thing ornamental or useful for tho
table.
If an egg dish like the one illustrated
here is chosen it may be brought on as
a surprise containing the Christmas
breakfast eggs.
Some persons like to cat a boiled egg
from its shell instead of having it turn-

"AHTIFICIA L" TADPOLES.
Dr. Loch Solves Kulgum of Chemical
Fertilization.
Dr. Jacques Loeb of the Rocke
feller Institute of Medical Research,
Now York, has succeeded in demon
strating how life may be created by
artificial means. Dr. Loeb's experi
ments were conducted before a gath
ering of the Sigma XI Scientific Fra
ternity in the Quadrangle Clubrooms
at the University of Chicago. About
150 scientists attended.
By the use of tadpoles, Dr. Loeb
showed how the male can be elimi
nated. He displayed specimens of
tadpoles produced 'by physico-chemical
fertilization of the female egg.
Tho process Is known as artificial
parthenogenesis and consists of treat
ing the egg taken from the female
tadpole "with a weak acid or base and
when tho coll has undergone a cer
tain chemical change placing It in a
prepared liquid solution. By this
means life is reproduced as in nature.
Dr. Loeb has performed the experi
ment upon the sea urchin as well as
the tadpole, and prediction is made
that it may bo carried successfully
to other forms of animal life.
