How did Life Begin?
At U10 bcKlnnliiR of it now your, wo
nro niuurnlly reminded of tho outset
of llfo. How did Ufa IjfirlnV Our lim

Anlmnlsdoiiond for llfo nnd lienltli on

Izo tho ovule". Tho llowcrlcs plants
Imvo n simpler way of production nnd
nroiHitriitlon, by cells. As wo wish to
know whero llfo begins, uummtox
amino this earliest nnd simplest class
of tho vegotnblo world, n class com
imsed of colls. Ton glass of molasses
nnd water mid n toifpoonful of yeast.

cells, will bo rapidly developed. Theso

ho far as tho naked eyo can see. U'lio

of A growing slVrn, and wo find It com
posed or cells. Knelt cell consists of
nu outer wall. Within It Is 11 oft mass
of protoplasm, n ultrogunotm material,
containing tho element of life. In thu
wlmplest plant or animal, 0110 simple
coll forms tho Individual and the
means of growth, health, and repro
duction. Theso cells multiply In va
rious ways. Tho moans of growth
within tho coll of animals nnd plants
Is protoplasm a plastic Hubstiiui'o con
taining tho elements of vitality. Oth
er elements may bo found within tho
ioll-walls, but nono Is mi absolutely es
Kontlnl to llfo aim growth as thlaself

point ol life. In It nro contained nil
tho elements needed to form cell-walls
and celbcnp.
In soino living plants 0110 cell Mono

for ItH oxlstonee. Tho cell, then, Is nn
example of vegotnblo life. In this
way the lowest forms of vegetable llfo
liogiiti. These died, mm supplied tno

llfo on nil tho objects that onclrclo ti,

This class of plants, tho earliest liv
ing tilings, nro called cryplogamie, be
causo they do not flower or propagate
as others do. Thoy have spread and
multiplied, and cover now tho surAiee,
whero no other plants can grow. Im
mense, nreas or tho surAiee or the
earth, unoccupied by other plant-', are
covered now, nnd Imvo been tor myri

other cryptogenic vegetables. They
nro not limited to the land, but nro

Tho exportation or American horjes
to ftjreign countries already quite an

groat Importance. A single concern
In Now York annually f-onds 2,000
horses nnd mules to tho West Indies.
Many fine bred Kentucky hor-cs have
been shipped during the past Tow years
I to Franco and JJngland. Tho Com
1 mlssloneruf Agrlcti'turo has recently
j received n letter from Gen. Stone, at
1 Cairo, J'gypt, In which ho says: "ing
llsh and Scottish liorso-ralsers, who
, have been In tho habit of rurnlshlng
carriage horses or high quality to this
country, now stnto that thoy cannot
compcto nt homo with tho horso-rais-ers
or Kentucky und Ohio, who mjikI
fine horses to England and rar under
sell tho native English raisers. This
being tho case, it seems to mo that u
good grado or carriage horses might be
exported rrom llultimoro to this conn
try, making uso or tho lino or steam
ers which trado directly with Gibral
tar nt Genoa, pud transfer cargo for
Alexandria ut Gonon, especially us the
shipments should always bo made in
tho latter part of summer, In order
that tho horses may land hero at the
enu or tno hot season. Tho voyugo
would bo moro likely to bo In calm
weather on tho Atlantic than during
nny other part or tho year. Perhaps
Amorlca may profit by tho export nnd
Kgypt by purchnslng cheaper than In
Kngland." Sovor.il llbornl nnd enter
prising patrons or tbo turf havo re
cently shipped somo of America's
finest horse-llesli to Kngland, to com
pcto with tho English thorouchbreds
on tho raco-course. According to re
port from tho other side of tho Atlan
tic, It pays to breed thoroughbreds In
England and sell them oven ns year
lings. During tho past year, M5 year
lings were disposed of there under the
hammer nt nn nverago or over "51,000 a

or course, bonis to swell the general

Remarkable Clocks.
In tho French horologlcal section nt
tho Purls Exposition, were two clocks
remarkable for their mechanism. On
tho top of ono or. thorn is seated n
handsomely attired Grcolc woman, 0
figure hardly 11 span high, with n small
barrel organ held by n boy, resting on
her knees. With tho Inst stroke or tho
clock tho iiiliilntiiru organ Is set in
motion r.ud plays n tune, thu boy keep
ing tlmo with Ills head. On the left
arm or tho flguro is n bright starling,
which, as soon as tho piece is played
out, repents tho melody, accompa
nied by the movements or the
woman's head. Tho mechanism of
tho second clock Is still moro wonJir
fill. The clock is Mirmountiil by 11
llgtiro representing 11 Juggler In Orlont
id costume, .-cited behind 11 gt Id on
table. To bis right baud stands three
l.i run silver bells on 11 plate. Tho Jug
gler rUos us tho clock strikes nnd ges
ticulates with his hands ns If in prepa
ration fur lib feat, takes up one of the
bells, shows it to tho spectators us If to
convince them that It Is empty, then
belr.es .mother bell, nnd puts both on
thu table. Ho lifts them up ngalu,
and under each now lies a golden egg,
which appears un I disappears ropeat
wily. Sometimes both eggs disappear,
sometimes they increase In number,
and three or four eggs nro seen. The
littlo inaglcl 111's performance reaches
Its dim tx when ho turns up thu third
bel nnd displays 11 broiuud ball to thu
astonished uuilieme. This bronr.u ball
bursts Immediately afterward, nnd 11
llllputliin bird, aluut tho length of a
lluger-nail, makes its nppearatico I'.tid
pipes 11 tune. Tho next moment all
vanish ugaln, and tho clever perfjrm
er, nfttr u graieful bow, resumes bis
sent.
