Mr. Slnnott said that, should any such resolution be adopted, he would with draw from the committee, and. 'later, Mr. Ferrera followed suit. After the organization adopted the resolution, both carried out their threat by tender ing their resignations, which were promptly accepted, amid applause. Slnnott Objection Falls.

Dr. Andrew S. Smith argued for the adoption of the report and In dorsement of candidates. "If we have any function at all." said Dr. Smith, "why are we here? If Mr. Sinnott does not care to stay here. the world Is large and he does not have to stay within these wails.

BEADS ARE LIKE SEALS SCIENTIST TAKES BRVIX OCT OF OLD CLASSIFICATION". Blood Crystals Tell Tale, and at Same Time Answer Question That Baffled Darwin. PHILADELPHIA, May 23. (Special.) Professor Edward T. Relchert, of the University of Pennsylvania, who has been working several years to discover a method of producing life artificially, has Just completed his first report on the study he has made of the formation of protoplasm. This research, Dr. Relchert says In his report tp the Car negie Institution at Washington. Is one of the most epochal undertakings in botany since the time of Linnaeus and la of broad fundamental applicability In general biology and in medicine. Dr. Relchert says he has demonstrated beyond doubt that starches from dif ferent plants vary In their physical and physiochemical properties and that the differences are distinctive of the plant and can be plotted out in the form of reaction curves which show the species and genera from which they spring. These experiments have led an expert scientist to declare that the difference in properties of complex organic meta bolic plants and animals offer a logi cal basis for the reclassification of ani mals according to the forms of cell life with which they were first born. In other words. Dr. Relchert has dls covered the secret that puzzled Darwin and has at least been able to do the work that Darwin left unfinished. Moreover, Dr. Relchert believes he has arrived at the mechanisms which give rise to the phenomena which In the ag gregate constitute life. By the study of different blood cells. Dr. Relchert says he has found that It is Impossible to mistake the blood crystals of one ani mal for those of another. Just as It would be Impossible to mistake the anl mals themselves. In the old method of classifying animals according, to their tribes, a bear was always placed the same family as the dog, wolf and fox. By the new method of comparing the blood crystals of these animals It has been proved that the bear is closely related to seallons and seals, and It la not related to the dog, wolf or fox.
