THE NEW ERA- CASTER. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1905. 3 LIFE IN NATURE THIRD OF PROFESSOR MANN'S DISCOURSES The Powers of Reproduction and sation the Miracles of the Ages--Growing Interest in the Lectures. The third and last of the discourses on "Life in Nature" was delivered by Professor Mann, of the Smithsonian.

Institution, before the Lancaster Assembly of the Dauphin Institute in the Martin Auditorium on Friday evening. As in the two preceding lectures on this subject, a goodly-sized audience was present, demonstrating conclusively the growing spirit! in this city of aspiration toward a higher culture and learning in science and art and a more general knowledge on the perplexing problems and questions presenting themselves for solution. Preceding the address of the evening, Mr. E. Guilford, a director of the Institute, spoke a few minutes of the work in general of the organization.

Traveling up the four ascents in the ladder of life, the power of motion, of nutrition, of reproduction and of sensation, said Professor Mann, is like climbing up a magnificent stairway. We begin at the lowest form of life possible, and then, by stages, work our way up until we have reached the highest level conceivable for man to attain. In my first lecture, on the power of motion, we had a level close to the with the minutest and lowliest forms of life. In the second, the power of nutrition, we grasped a higher and more complicated phase, while in the two we shall deal with this evening, those of reproduction and sensation, we stand face to face with the last und greatest step, marvelous problem of the ages. In the power of reproduction, said the speaker, we deal with a perpetual miracle, the marvelous calling into existence that which did not exist, the bringing of an individuality out of nothingness.

We seem to have entertained such a familiarity with this power of reproduction that the wonderful significance of it has been dulled and its influence lost. Let 118 consider for a moment the vast gap between animate and inanimate nature, between that which has power to perpetuate itself and that other material which is dead and meaningless. Take, for instance, a pebble, and implant it in the ground. Then, aside of it place an acorn. A hundred years hence the pebble will still remain the smooth-shaped stone ft was when placed in the ground, but from the brown fingers of that acorn will have risen the giant oak, and from it will have fallen millions and billions of the same acorns as the original, and from them have sprung oaks enough to forestate the country from Maryland 'to California.

Illustrating upon the blackboard, Prof. Mann showed the simplicity of multiplication and perpetuation in life. The bacterium, sometimes wrongly called microbe, said the speaker, is divided by a wall drawn across the middle, and so two minute forms are brought into being, each not only being of the same size, but also having the power of motion, nutrition, reproduction and sensation. And so in higher forms the greater grows the rapidity of perpetuation. We next come to the question, said Professor Mann, how are the offspring related to the parental form? The primary law which we face on the first page of the Bible, and, even farther and deeper, in the book of Nature's codes and decrees, is the bringing forth after their kind--the law of likeness.

Speaking in contravention of the Darwinian theory of the gradual evolution of one species into another, Professor Mann cited a discovery made by Hugo De Vries, the great scientist, a number of whose sclentific works were published this year. From thousands of seeds produced from an evening primrose sown in his garden De Vries discovered a half dozen or so absolutely different from the parental species. And year by year the new species produced its peculiar and different flower. But this strange mutation was brought about suddenly, and not by gradual evolution. It was due to the mysterious life power within the plant itself, and not by any outside influence brought to bear upon the plant.

But, notwithstanding this mutation, the parental plant, unaffected, still goes on with its work as before. Man has never been able to force Nature to mutations. It still retains the stamp and signet type of ancestry. The acorn must produce the oak; the blue bird's egg must form the blue bird, and if the law of Nature could be made to vary its great programme ever so little; if once in a thousand years wheat was sown and tares harvested. Nature would be untrue to herself.

Reverting to the primary law of the Bible, of God and of Nature, it must bring forth after Its kind. The second law of reproduction is that of variation. Likeness, said the speaker, does not mean identity. There is an ever-present likeness, but each bears the stamp of individuality. We may have a thousand maple leaves, but no two of them are alike.

There is something different in each one, yet all bear the stamp of the ancestral life. And so the centripetal law, or the law of likeness, and the centrifugal, or the law of variation, are controlling factors in the perpetuation of life. There is present in the world today, said Professor Mann, a horrible confusion and wrangle over the question of evolution in life. So many arguments 'have been presented that they seem but clusters of magnificent facts buried over in wild chaos of guesses. The Darwinian theory of evolution, sald Professor Mann, after having undergone RO many changes and reverses since the brilliant scientist's first inception, reminded him of a barrel had been with new staves, new head, and the only orig repatrado Inal part remaining of which was the bunghole.

Some time ago, said the speaker, great scientific discovery was thought to have been made, but, after all, it proved of little or no significance. A gelatine mass was subjected to the Influence of radium rays. In a short while the mass took on the appearance of small dots, which grew into a dark centre or nucleus, which divided into two sections, each of which appeared to have a dark centre. But it took but a short time to find that it was but the breaking down of the gelatinous mass by the piercing rays of the radium. So in this last and nearest approach to life itself, the world of materialism meets its Waterloo and life only from perpetuation still holds true.

Coming to the fourth power of life--sensation--the -the highest and greatest of all, it stands in a realm by itself, the crown and royal diadem of life. Motion is felt only now and then: nutrition is intermittent; reproduction takes but a narrow space in its sweep, but sensation is omnipresent, manifest in the lowest to the highest forms of life. It hangs as a flag over the palace of life, and when that is hauled down life robes itself in death. Professor Mann then gave a beautiful exposition of the power of sensation as shown in the life of plants and animals, detailing with a wonderful minuteness, the delicate sensitiveness of this most marvelous of endowments. And so, as we travel up this wonderful mountain of life, as we see it pictured in the lowliest forms, and then by gradation up to the magnificent creature, Man himself; as we climb from the lowest form of activity, the power of motion, then pass to nutrition, ascend to reproduction, and at last mount upon the apex, God's wonderful visitation and endowment of sensation, we look down into the dark and drear abyss beneath us, and picture life, with all its cumulative powers and faculties, clearly silhouetted against the black background of materialism.

Following the lecture, a number of lantern slides were thrown on the screen, depicting the minutest phases of plant life as magnified under the microscopic glass. The views were highly interesting. The next lecture to be given before the Institute will take place on Friday evening, December 1. Professor S. D.

Fess, of the University of Chicago, will deliver an address on "Some Phases of American History." A Beautiful Park for West Chester. Ten acres of beautiful woodland, valued at $100,000, in the southwestern part of West Chester, was presented to the borough on Friday by Dr. Isaiah Everhart, of Scranton, executor and principal legatee under the will of the late Benjamin Everhart, of West Chester, to be used as a public park. At the meeting of the Borough Council Friday evening a vote of thanks was passed and the donor was invited to come at an early date for the purpose of giving his views for making it an attractive place, especially for children. It will be known as Everhart Park, in honor of the donor and of a family which have taken such great interest in the welfare of West Chester for a century.

Husband Refused to Sweep. The marital woes of Harley W. Fisher, a lawyer of Oil City, were to a bill of particulars filed by him on Friday in his divorce suit against his wife. She flew into a fit of rage, he leges, and turned the pictures of his family toward the wall. "For the last three years that we lived together I had to eat baker's bread," he complained.

"She baked good bread and she knew I liked her bread, but she refused to make any for me." Mr. Fisher said that he had to get his own meals and make his own bed, but rebelled when commanded to sweep the floor. Repulsed Wife Shoots Herself. Mrs. Myrtle Grenals, of Ridgway, Elk county, shot herself through the heart in her bedroom Friday morning and died instantly.

She had threatened to commit suicide if she failed to induce her husband to live with her. She returned Thursday night from Los Angeles, where she had gone to see Mr. Grenals, and it is supposed she failed to effect a reconciliation. LIFE INSURANCE IN CACTUS CENTRE. Hades popped in Cactus Centre, when, jest like a The life insurance catapestion hit us on the It began when Gila Hawkins said insurance was thievesSaid the hull cadoodle of 'em would stuff aces up their sleeves.

He was took up by Slim Johnson, who's been writin' risks in town, An' before we cleared the barroom there was three men lyin' down; Slim went shootin' to his office, an' he got four on the way, While Old Gila, trailin' after, winged a few with shots astray. So we laid siege to the office, an' we punctured Slim's tough hide, An' laid him and Gila Hawkins, with their wounds dressed, side by side, An' old Hawkins got to laughin', lyin' stretched out on the bed, But at last he chucked his snickers, an' before his last breath, said: "I apologize, most humble, Slim, as fur as you're concerned, But I jest can't help alaughin' at the trick that you have turned; Fer you've dealt your graftin' bosses quite a hard financial blowThe joke is on you Johnson--I'm insured with you, you know." -Denver Republican, THE MISSION FIELD LOCAL AND GENERAL NOTES OF INTEREST What Is Being Done by Christian Workers of All Denominations to Extend the Cause of Christ in Every Land. Inquiries for Information on every phase of missionary work will be in this Address Rupp Gray, care of The New Era The different churches of our city support six home missions within the city limits. Lancaster county has reported sixtyfour missionary societies, whose menbership is 3,780. "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Christ's command to teach all nations does not include an impossibility.

We are not responsible for the conversion of the world, but we are responsible for the proclamation of the Gospel "to every creature." It is said that the people of the United States spend as much for chewing gum in a single year as Christians give in two years for the extension of Christ's kingdom in foreign lands. A great revival has broken out in the Welsh missions in Madagascar. A tidal wave of blessing is sweeping over the island, and hundreds we swept into the kingdom. St.John's German Reformed Church, West Orange and Mulberry streets, Rev. G.

P. Selbel, pastor, maintains an active missionary spirit, without any auxiliary societies. The contributions to the cause last year amounted to $107. The "Gospel Mission," under the management of Mr. Ezra Sieber, has held regularly services on Sunday night since last June in Jackson's ice cream garden, 116 North Queen street.

The services are conducted by lay workers, as vell as now and then by ministers from the different churches. Thus far there have been twenty-seven decisions for Christ. Converts are directed for membership to thechurches of their own choice. Freewill offerings are taken for the support of a missionary substitute, who sailed this week for China. The Protestant Episcopal Convocation of North Carolina last month elected a lay secretary, which office has heretofore been filled only by clergymen.

His work will be to organize mission bands throughout the State. Captain Bickel, of the Baptist Mis. sionary ship on the inland sea of Japan, visits regularly 400 small islands, where, among a population of several millions, no other Christian work is being done. In the great cities of China twice the sum given for foreign missions in our country is annually burned in ancestral worship. We spend our millions annually on useless ornamentations in our churches, while millions of souls equally precious to Christ are left to perish without the Gospel.

This is what a few dollars will do in missionary work: Five dollars will support a day scholar for an entire year; $5 will support an orphan in a boarding school a year; $25 will educate a woman in a Bible school; $36 will support a Bible woman, whose work consists in teaching the Word to women; $40 to $60 will pay for a native preacher in India and China; $60 will support a girls' day school of twenty-five pupils for one year. The Presbyterian Church is meeting with good success in its missionary operations in Mexico. The native preachers number 49; over 27,000 adherents and communicants; 3,000 pupils in the schools, and the natives contribute $70,000 towards the support of the work. Last year the accessions numbered 722. The latest reports from India show a marvelous religlous awakening.

The Church Missionary Society during the past year received 3,000 converts, besides 3,000 old catechumens preparing for baptism. The most serious problem is, how to find teachers to properly instruct the new converts and to supply them with preachers. Let the Church awake to a sense of her op)'portunity and offer her money and young people. Tong Kwoh Onn, one of China's most intelligent statesmen, says that the scarcity of Christian workers is one of the hindrances in the progress of the missionary work. When it is remembered that for every year of Christian effort in China there have been at least a hundred years of idolatry and ignorance; for every church, there are hundreds of idol temples; for every missionary there are thousands of idol priests, the Church might well stand appalled, unless she determines to send an army greater than the world has ever seen or read of.

Neglected Areas in the West. The following, from the Missionary Review, shows the great field open for home missions: Dr. Holt, of Oregon, writes of towns in Oregon which have schools, hotels, saloons, but no church. The same is true of other States and Territories. The following clipping, concerning another appeal for home missionaries: C.

A. Short, a prominent resident of Lincoln county, after a complete tour of his county, covering 16,000 square miles, has discovered the startling fact that nownere in its confines is there such a thing as even a missionary house where the Gospel is preached. Probably it is the greatest extent of country in the United States where a minister is not stationed, or where religious services are not held. There is a population of several thousand people in this territory, including such well- known towns as Delamar, Ploche, Moapa and others. The vast country covers a greater area than Massachusetta, Connecticut, and Delaware combined.

There is no record in any section of the country where religious services have been held for years. There is no explanation for this strange condition except that the variours denominations are short of workera and of funds. Disproving Lies. Life is too brief and too precious to take time to hunt down and disprove all the false statements about missions and missionartes that find their way into the newspapers and magizines. These are gobbled up as sweet morsels by those who find them to their taste, and no subsequent argument or fact will lead such to alter their opinion.

Indeed, we have come to the conclusion that it 19 wasted breath to undertake to convince man of the value and necessity of foreign missions unless he has yielded himself to the control of Christ and has experienced something of the truth of Christianity. Except the foundation be there, it la useless to attempt a A. T. Pier. son, D.D.

BRITISH "TAR" THE CHAMPION. The Yankee Selected to Represent Sam" Faced a Sad Fate. Before 700 persons, Including men from the British a and American squadrons anchored in the Hudson River, W. E. the Marine Corpa, assigned to H.

M. S. Drake, defeated "Jack" Ringenback, alias Reine, of the battleship lown, in a three-round bout in the Sharkey Athletic Club, New York, Friday night. The American seaman was smashed and battered by his English opponent, driven times to the ropes and finally sat down, an ignominiously beaten man. Three groans for Ringenback were given by the Americans, a majority of whom declared when the bout was concluded that each would challenge him as soon as the ships were clear of New York harbor.

After waiting for seven threebouts conclude the spectators saw Cackaigne, a trim built Englishmman, weighing 154 pounds, introduced. There was some curiosity to learn the name of his opponent. The word had gone through the hall that "Kid" Collins, the pride of Admiral Evans' squadron, had been put in the "brig" for being ashore without leave. The American boxer was introduced 08 "Jack" Reine. His name is Ringenback and his home is in St.

Louts. A wild yell greeted both men, the American getting the greater share of applause. Men who have followed the fighting game for years looked askance at Ringenback and wished Collins had behaved himself. Cockaigne looked too good for the American. The sailors on other ships said Ringenback was a "ringer." He did not look like a fighter.

This battle for international deep sea. honors, was refereed by "Tom" Sharkey. He gave the American a look and also wished Colling were present. After a flashlight picture the men stepped to the center of the ring. There was a laugh when Cockaigne crouched like a panther.

The laugh vanished when they saw him spring. It. was at the tap of the gong. His left hand went swiftly to the end of Ringenback's nose, Ringenback was plainly disconcerted, but Cockaigne at once planted a right on his ribs and sent into his face a volley of jabs that startled the Americans. Everybody was waiting for the American to begin.

He never began. All he saw and tried to avoid was volley after volley of swings and countless jabs for his Limp as a rag, his nose the color a crushed tomato, and all his spirit broken, Ringenback staggered to his corner. He had not laid a glove upon his opponent. "Sitck out your left, you lobster," Sharkey whispered hoarsely. "Don't let 'em do us." "Push your left to his face," "shrieked W.

S. Rodenbach, of the New York Athletic Club, champion amateur boxer of America, who was behind Ringenback. Poor Ringenback did as he was told. He put out his left, but Cockaigne never was there. He had his left eye closed after a half-minnte's fighting during the second round.

The bell rang soon enough for him. In the third round the Briton played with him, smashed him on his damaged nose, and did everything but sit on him. Every American groaned. The English sailors cheered. "Yell, darn yer," finally cried an excited American, who jumped to his feet.

He could not have been less than seventy. "Yell, darn yer, for it's the first time in history a Britisher has ever beaten an American, and that feller is no American." Hudgins, champion lightweight of the South Atlantic squadron, who had give an exhibition with one of his pupils, stood weeping in the aisle. "To think," he wailed, "that Ringenback should have been selected to uphold our navy! When he gets over this there'll be a lot coming to him on the ship." Druggists Must Have a License. By the first of December all druggists must have taken out a government liquor license for selling certain patent medicines, those containing a certain per cent. of alcohol.

Some are composed chiefly of distilled spirits, so say the notices relative to the licenses, without enough drugs in them to change materially the character of the alcoholic liquors.
