EGGS OF SEA URCHIN IS CROSSED WITH STARFISH fertilization of Cells Also Pro duced by Treating Them With Chemicals. , (Special Dispatch to Th Joaraal ) Ran Franelseo. Dec. H Could a well 'ftnown fact that on of the min which biologists employ In distinguish ing species la their cross fertility. Those organisms which are rroaa fertile, which Are able to produce fertile offsprings are Usually said' to belong to the same Apeclee. There are some exceptions to thhi rule as. for Instance, the Logan berry, which la a fertile cross or hybrid of raspberry and a blackberry, two dis tinct species ' of rubus. Again, the ire hybrids, such aa the mule, which do not produce their kind, and are. there fore, infertile hybrids, although both Jun t-iits belong to the genus equus. Why it should not he possible to cross .brganlsms not widely separated In classification, such aa two species of the same genua. Is a question for which a number of answers have been given, but, which, along with most funda mental biological problems, is still await ing a complete solution. Professor Loeb of the University ot California succeeded recently in fertil ising the eggs of a sea. urchin (strongy 'locentrotus with the active cells of a 'atarftsh (asterlae). (which doea not oc-i-ur under ordinary condition by treat -;lng them with appropriate solutions of chemical substances. These reaulta have lately been con firmed and extended to an astonishing degree. Not only has strongylocentrolus been crossed successfully with asterlae, .but with other starfishes, with a brittlu tar (snaky armed star) and, probably, a holothurlan or aea cucumber aa well. When It la remembered that urchins, tarf lanes, brittle stars and holothurlana belong not only In dlatinct genera, fa mi I lea, orders, but even in distinct classes, the unusual character of the achieve ment becomes apparent. But the great marvel of It all lies In the rare sim plicity of the means employed. In the original experlmenta of Profes ' eor LiOeb. artificial solutions were used ' instead of sea water. It has since been ' found that sea water gives the same ' results. The most rigid precautions were taken to prevent fertilisation by I active cells of the same species. All the sea water used was first heat ed to 14 degrees, at which temperature o germ cells can live. All dishes, tools ' and the animals furntahlng the eggs ' were cleansed carefully In running fresh ' water also. Other precautions were taken aa possibility of eggs developing without fertilisation, that Is, partheno genetlcally, as when they develop after being treated with proper amounts of magnesium chloride. These precautions were in the shape pt control experlmenta For instance. If It were desired to see whether the eggs of the sea urchin would be fertil ised in normal sea water by the active cells of the starfish, two dishes of eggs would be prepared under Identical con dltlona. Then into one of them the ac tive cella of the atarfish would be In troduced. If the eggs in this dish should how signs of development which were not presented by the eggs In the other dish, the evidence would be convincing thst the Introduction of the active cells bsd produced the change. Lioeb's experiments show conclusively that the fusion of an active cell with it starts up the development of the egg. This part of fertilisation Is certainly performed. There ia aa yet, however, nothing to show that the heredity characters of the two parents become mixed in the egg. Info DeDong I understand you are study ing a treatise on the art of memory cul ture.

What Sulphur Does or the Body la Health aad The mention of sulphur will recall to many of ua the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave ua our dally dose of sulphur and molasses ev ery spring and fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier." tonic and cure-all, ana mind you. this old-fashioned remedy wss not without merit. . The idea was good, but the remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity bad to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get sll the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoon -ful of the crude sulphur. In rocent years, research and experi ment have proven that the best sul phur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly concentrated, effec- 1 tive form. Kew people are aware of the value of , this form of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health: sulphur acts directly on the liver, and excretory organs and purifies and en- ' riches the blood by the prompt elimina tion of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this-when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fair but the crudity and Impurity of ordinary flowers of sul phur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium Wafers Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipation and purify the Mood in a way that often surprises patient snd physi cian alike. Dr. ft. M.

Portland has half a dosen dime houses, and the managers agree that the raising of the llcenaa td $S0O a month would i them to close abme of them, at least. This, they assert. Is exactly what the aaloon men of the city desire, and that element, the managera say. are be hind the movement to drive the little ahuwa out of business. Chris Brown of tha Northwest Vaude ville circuit, which la repreaented here by the Star and Arcade tlieatrea, wnen questioned last night, aald: Councilman Zimmerman a orainanre. if naaaed. will Dleass the saloon men and dive keepers of Portland Immensely. It is a well known fact that the vaudeville houses have had a bad etrect upon meir business. As everybody who knows any thing about humanity In this day Is aware, the young men and women have got to have some place to go at night. The great majority of them cannot af ford to spend much money. The 10-cent house provides them with an evening's entertainment two shows each night, we'll aay for the moderate sum of I centa each. They take advantage of It and therefore do not frequent bar-rooms and wine rooms as extensively aa they used to. Thia la. after all. a big factor in the question. The dime house haa become a moral sgency." It has done more for the morals of the young people of Port land than any creation of the past 10 years. It keeps them off the street. No wonder the saloon man complain. We rob them of business every night, but which Is the better place for men and women, old or young, the saloon or the vaudeville house? personally, I do not believe that the council will pass the ordinance. It la altogether too unjust. We are making money, yes: but Is that any reason why we sic nld be forced to donate a large share of our profits to the city? Some houses could not' stand It. ' "I do not believe the managera of the legitimate houses have anything to do with this proposition, mush .as they would like to see the little houses go."
