plank aud broke in the eagle street entrance to the ho'el then we got the plank under the fire escape of the eagle street and helped people dow n i think there were about 84 guests in the house 1 the spread of the flames is said to have been frightful in its rapidity the elevator shaft served as a flue ; for ai d imes ami they rushed up it to tne top oi door oi a very few minutes as the guests were roused and saw the interior exit cut off they turned to the i wiiidows they could be seen in their j night clothes standing out clear and ! vivid before the lurid background ofthe i flames their screams were horrible to hear the flames spread to the ; south of the hotel lirst the firemen did noble work and confined the tire within the narrow limits of the three buildings their work of rescue had many exciting incidents at 4:10 o'clock the cohale building was ablaze with six streams of water ploughing on the north end the brisk wind was baffling the efforts of the firemen by ! 4:30 the fire had enveloped the north ern half of the block and speeding on to washington street runnel's museum urns embraced in its destructive grasp and before 4:45 was a gutted ruin at •> o'clock the

office in ' may nothing of the hotel budding is left standing except a portion oi the walls most of the guests made narrow es capes from death perhaps the most thiiiai inu escape of any was that of press whitaker step-son of proprietor stafferd he roomed in the fifth story and when a roused stepped to the window and look ed down for a few seconds then he de liberately armed himself and can aging irom the window stood on the stone base below the window from this cap ping he stepped to the next one along the front of the building and proceed ed in this niiinner to the hayes truck ladder at the extremity of the front the move and coolness was remarka ble l e smith of brooklyn and a cj clay of philadelphia had a most re markably experience they were in adjoining room on the fifth floor and tell about the same story mr clay was aroused by the ring of the electric tin bell and got up he pressed his finger on the button wondering what was wrong but the bell continued ring ing he went to bed again for a min ute or so and got up a second time to try to stop the noise it then dawned upon him that something was wrong by this time the piece was beginning to blaze furiously he found tliestair ways cut oil and took to the window but he and mr smith barely reached bunnell's museum room when they looked back and saw five girls ix tiie fifth story windows they lmd tied the bedclothing into a rope which hung out but none of them seemed to have the courage to start at last one of the five took hold and swung down to a window ledge from from which she was assisted by messrs clay and smith three others came down in the same manner and then the iii'tii girl started down she had almost completed the distance when the rope parted and down she went the four sto ries to tiie ground but strange to see she w;is not killed her legs were ter ribly cut and bruised her back badly injured and her fnce and arms were in a frightful condition from burns she lay moaning upon a lounge at the op era house begging to be sent home aruokg the guests at the hotel were twenty-five insurance men who had come to adjust the losses on the miller & greiuer and courier fires they are

recently de livered an address which gives an ex ample of the admirable and unceasing devotion shown by our best scientific men after dwelling on certain re cent improvements in the construction of lenses the president on the occasion referred to proceeded to describe a series of experiments which he has conducted for nearly ten patient and faithful years hong ago darwin expressed the opinion that it he would actually observe and demonstrate the manner in which living creatures adapt themselves by inward and out ward modifications to changed circum stances and so produce what are called new species it must be by watching the lowest and least visible organisms to such a task dr dallinger set him self his project was to place and keep under las lenses several varieties of those minute monads which are ; incessantly multiplying by fissure or division and which are nearly at thej bottom of animated nature the gen erations of these creatures succeed each other about every four minutes : so that in the course of an hour he can view the passage of fourteen or lift en generations which would an swer to something like 450 years of human history while a day of monad ic existence would represent more than 10,000 of our years these monads live in water and by connecting ihe drop that serves them for u habitable and roomy ocean with the ingenius apparatus of prof schfer the teni er asure of this drop can be either kept constant or raised very slowly and with absolutely steady precision here therefore were the conditions requisite for gradually altering the climate in which these monads throve and if it could be proved that such tiny infusora could indeed be slowly accustomed to changes gre iter than would be suffered bv aniinals removed from the ecpiator to the pole then bright an i trustwor thy light would be cast on the modifi cations of life which we see arrived at on the earth and darwin's great law would be largely removed from theory to recorded fact to carry

existence the slightest accident to the apparatus might in one moment lender tbe whole experiment void and leave the drop of water as lifeless as these islands would be if an other glacial period suddenly arrived the only reward en the other hand for sueceseful and almost inconceivable perseverance would be the discovery of truth and the re-inforcement of dar win's sublime generalization but for the sake oi these which always satisfy the noble ardor of science dr dallin ger has rnven as many years of his life as was spent by the greeks in theseige of troy and has apparently won a scientific victory the value of which is as signal as his ingenuity and devotion are admirable we will endeavor briefly to describe the method and the outcome of his most remarkable experiments the group of microscopic monads were put under the lens in a well fitted water cell at their usual temperature of 00 deg fahr the apartment the aparatus and all around being carefully kept in precise unison the doctor then spent the first four months of his observation in raising the temperature time after time by stages less than one sixth of a degree until his swarm of protozoa had reached the new and advanced reading of 70 deg fahr the change nevertheless had no more disturbed them than that experienced by a brit ish family when it emigrates from loudon to cape town the life history of each group remained unaltered they moved gyrated fed and split themselves into new individuals in just the same manner and within much the same periods as before when how ever three more degrees had been add ed to the 70 the monads showed signs of being decidedly inconvenienced thev were not as lively nor as as produc tive as formerly yet by keeping them exactly at this range during two quiet months they regained their full vigor and might be compared to emigrants who had become seasoned by surviving the tirst hot spell in a tropical country they could not stand by gradual steps of increase the enhanced heat of 78 degrees which was reached at the com mencement of the twelfth month vet her.a again a long pause was found to be necessary the new generations of those silver specks of life under the glass were not all alike strong enough to live and thrive what answers to sunstrokes and fever with us had caus ed vacant spaces to appear in the water drop and it was only when the monads showed themselves once more lively and prolific by a long era of repose thai the careful doctor administered a further dose of caloric during eight years and a half did he thus slowly aud unweariedly proceed in the same course augmenting the heat of their surround ing element now and then by slow and slight additions pausing afterwards for mouths to give the minute creat ures time to accommodate themselves when signs were visible that they were under difficulties and always going forward to new trials of endurance wh.u they had recovered in this manner after all those years dr da

tiny constitution could have been trained to defy increasing warmth because the research was at this point accident ly terminated but it will be ei'n that the doctor had brought the little people of his drop world to sustain a heat nearly 100 de grees higher than the flourishing point of their ancestors and species of which if taken at the beginning would have been completely and instantaneously killed in water of 140 degrees when we have added that these minute salamanders perished directly they were put back into the ancestral medium of (')•") degrees it will be manifest that the indefatigable doctor had by the magic of science effected a miracle of nature almost as striking as if the protococous navilis which stains the arctic snow with crimson had been transformed into the
