N THAT eager - search -for the ' secret of life—never more zealous- ‘ : ly prosecuted than in our da)’.[ and nevs=r with more‘startling and'% : baflling results—the lowest forms of - living organizations take on a new interest'as apparently leading us ‘ nearer and nearer to the narrow por- | tal in that thin partition which separates the things that live from all others. The claims which have been | made that science has been able to - compel jnert substances to pass[ through this portal and to live are yeti to be verified. In the capacious und! sheltered bosom of the deep sea iB] found the home of very many of these | mysteries, and may perhaps be found I their solution and the beginning- of; living. - Meanwhile, without inquiring too closely into their genesis, prac- | tical man has laid viblent hands on‘ many of these humbler brethren ’aqd! made them subject to his daily needs and luxuries. Chief among these are ‘ the sponges, “perhaps the very lowest! of the Protozoa.” The long *'('ontro-l versy as to whether they were animal or vegetable bae been terminated by " assigning them to the higher _rank;l ‘but_they betray a surprising number ‘of points of resemblance with the plants, both in life and death. : To begin with, they effect reproduction of their kind by gemmation, or budding, and by true ova or eggs. The l United States government has recent-.l ly published a learned little pamphlet by a,;\;vn‘th Carolina professor onl the feasibillty of “‘raising sponges from the eggs.” It seems that the two sexes ! are found n2ombined in one individual. The eggs, {n great number, are discharged tArough the large apertures, called oscula, on the surface of thc, snonge, - and ;swim off into the big | world as larvae, propelling themselves \ [y the slender hair-like processes of" protoplasm or cilia, with \\‘hich-their‘ _solia, oval little bodies are covered. " In size they = frequently attain the] length of a millimeter, one-twenty-fifth of an inch. When bred in the labora- | _tory this wandering existence lasts only a day or two; the infant navigator soon anchors himself to some firm basis, loses his cilia and his oval farm and flattens down into a minute incrustation on the rock or other base, spreading out into an irregular shape. This becomes a true sponge in fundamental structure, but without repro—l ductive organs, and the length of time required to reach. the adult. stage is not yet known. . v A If 4 living sponge is cut with a knife and the severed portions placed togethet, even in a new position, they speedlly reunite; but if the portions‘ are of different species, no such union, it is said, ever takes place. If the individual sponges are brought together they also coalesce into. one, thani which rothing more confusing in. the case of an animal can be conceived: Oun the other hand, the strong ammo‘niacal odor of the dying sponges on _the decks of the fishing vessel would ‘ the decks of the fishing vessels would. serve to convince beyond doubt the -least. sensitive nostrils that this was indeed animal life. . In the Levant fisheries, on the coasts of Canada, Barbary and Syria, the deptb of the water necessitates diving, the diver maintaining his conpection with the boat by a cord attached to a flat, triangular piece of stone which he takes down with him. These east- 1 ern sponges are much _ superior in. ~quality to those from the West Indies and the coast of Florida. The American Sponges are classified * as follows by the spongers and buy‘ers: Sheepswool, yéllow, grass, velvet or boat, and glove, with a few oth- 1 er unimportant varieties. The aver-i age value per pound in 1900 was $2.67

for sheepswool, 59 cents for yellow, 23 cents for grass and 37 cents for all others. The total yiel& of the spongs fishery for this year was 418,125 pounds, with a total value of $567,685, This yield is not sufficient to meet the

demand, aand large ‘quantities are imported every year, the greater part coming from' the Bahama islands, Cuba, Haiti, Greece, Austria-Hungary and Turkey. During 1900 there was an exportation of 71,642 pounds of domestic sponges; valued at $32,199, mostly of grass sponges, for which there is very little demand in this country. It is probable that the prog ress of science and the enormous increase in all kinds of sanitary and antiseptic precautions will largely diminish the use of sponges, as has been already the case for hospitals, toilet purposes, etc. When received by the buyers the sponges are still far re. moved from a condition in which they can be placed on the general market. It is necessary to clean them thoroughly, so that no foreign substances remain in them, and to trim off the rough edges to give a symmetrical appearance. This work is carried on in the large warehouses which the buyers maintain at convenient places along the coast. Unfortunately, other processes are also employed, such as loading, to increase the weight, rock salt, glucose, molasses, lead, gravel, sand and stone being all used, accerding to the government’s official report. These substances are mixed with water fn water-tight bins and the sponges immersed in them until they are thoroughly soaked. They are then run throngh a nordinary clothes-wringef or laid on an inclined rack and al lowed to drain into the bins. The moré consecientious buyers are obliged to resort .to these measures in order to compete with their less -scrupulous business rivals. The.bleaching is done at the large wholesale houses or by the jobbers in the trade, and as lime and acids are used, this process weakens the fiber and shortens the usefulness of the sponge.. A pgrfectly harmless method of bleaching employed by the spongers gives a white or golden tone for specimens or presentation sponges. This consists merély of

washing them in soapy water, and, after covering them with soap-suds. hanging them on the masts of the boats or on poles on the shore. The action of sunlight and of the nightly dews completes the work. For trans-. portation the sponges are baled in burlap, each kind by itself, the bales representing a net weight of sponge of from 15 to 50 pounds. For compressing them, sponge presses, very like those used for cotton, are employed. ; Notwithstanding all these transformations, the usual sponge of daily use will givé us a very fair idea of the structure jof the original living animal. In general, the lower orifices may be taken'to be the oscular or cloacal openings, through which the waste particles are the ova pass out, though there is in some: species but one of these openings. The inhalant pores, which take the place of mouths, are much smaller, and through them i 3 introduced the water, carrying with it both air and the organic particles for the support of life. Communication between these exterior openings is established in the interior of the mass by a system of ciliated passages or canals connected with minute chambers. This fibrous mass is supported by a species of skeleton or calcareous or silicious spicules, all sponges being divided by scientists into two orders, Calcispongiae and Silicispongae, acpording to the nature of these skeletons. | Ao .

A Corner in Ancestors : By ELEANOR LEXINGTON '~ Hoskins Family

The Hoskins who bear titles spell the name Hoskyns, or Hoskyn. The difference between “{” and “y” is often a matter of dollars, and not rules of orthography. In other words, John Hosking, of limited income? is John Hosking to the end of the chgipter. unless hig rich aunt dies and leaves him all her ducats. From then on, he perhaps becomes Hoskyns. You can try a few variations of the name. There is Hosken. Burke's “Peerage” gives arms for his family and ‘they live in Cornwall, where they have been prosperous landed proprietors since time was, in Great Britain. In Surrey and Hereford, the name is usually Hoskyn or Hoskyns, also Hoskin.

In our colonial records the name is written indifferently Hoskins or Haskins. :

* Authorities on derivation of names say that Hoskins is easily traced back to Roger, or Rogers or Rodgers.

Prodger 1s traced directly back to apRoger—son of Roger. : Hoskins may be regarded as a’soft-

The usual, present day spelling of this name is Turner. ‘ Le tour noir—the black castle—is said .to be the way the name started out in life.- In Normandy there was a black castle, or un tour noir. The lords of the castle were “les sires de Tournoir.” The first of the family to set foot upon English' soil, was perhaps a lord de Tournoir, and the time, that memorable da‘e, 1066. * It didn’t take long, or not more than a century or two, to simplify the ‘pame to Turner. It passed through a variety of forms’in the transformation proc-

ess. For example: we find in the records, Turnor, Tournor, Tournaire, 'l‘é;il‘peur, Turnier and Turner. - Reginald de Turnur was a man of affairs, in King John’s time. Turnerus is given as thf Latin form of the name. Some authorities, however, in seeking the origin of the name, take us back to days of chivalry, to the tournay or Turney, and get the name without any trouble whatever, to overthrow, or tilt, or tourne, and the best fellow at the sport, came .0 be known as the tourner, the turner. The family has been a power in many English countries, and also in Scotland and Ireland. Hall place in Oxford and> Cursitor’s; Court, Middlesex, are seats of the family. Suffolk, Leicester, Lincoln, Surrey, Norfolk and York number Turners among the “first citizens.” Downhathley house, Gloucester, is another Turner home. The lord mayor of London, 1669, was a Turner, and exactly 100 years later another of the same name, also. held this office. The high sheriff of Dublin, and “'Second Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer,” was a certain James” Turner, sometime in ,the seventeenth century. 3 If we are looking incidentally for titles, there are plenty and to spare. To mention one or two: Sir Charles Turner was created baronet 1727, and Sir James Turner was ‘knighted, for services rendered Gustavus Adolphus. l. was Sir James, who in writing. of military matters, called the fife the “Allemaine Whistle.” One of the well known families of the south is that of the Turners, where the name is also spelled Tourner. The family was one of the early settlers in Virginia, and otl;er states, Kentucky being one. It was the pretty daughter of Judge Turner of Kentucky who became the wife of John Lewis Buford. The Bufords numbered among their forbears the Marshals and Hickmans: The Turners were of the F. F. Y.‘s, and among those of whom it can be said .that some of the best blood in [England was brought to Virginia when the cavaliers sought refuge within her

Capture of Geronimo. ~ During 188%°5 Geronimo, a chief of tue Chiricahua tribe of Indians, had terrorized a great part of New Mexico and Arizona. Early in 1886 Gen. Sheridan- sent Gen. George Crook against them. In March a truce was made, followed by ‘a conference between Crook and Geronimo, at which terms of surrender were agreed upon. Before they could be carried out the Indians escaped to the mountains, and Gen. George Crook was superseded in command by Gen. Nelsor A. Miles,

ened pronunciation of Hodgkins, and Hosking is one variation. Roger is a name unknown in Great Britain before the conquest, 1066, but in Domesday Book, there are several tenants in chief named Rogers or Rogerus. It may be taken for granted, therefore, that Hoskins came igto England from Normandy and that its original form was Roger, from an old word “hruod,” meaning - fame, or glory. Another meaning of the word hruod is “one whose word is reliable,” and- historical tradition associates the name%’{ogérs with all that is true and nohle, and by all the lares of logic may we not say the same of the name Hoskins or Haskins.

Records preserved by one branch of the Hoskins, give the followjng account: 3

The family has history back to the eleventh century, when two ancestors entered England, with William the Conquerer, 1066, one of whom was granted 12 manors in Suffolk, and married Gunreda. daughter of Henry, earl of Ferris; the other was granted seven lordships in Lincolushire, and: a descendant of this line married Lady Isabel, daughter of an earl of Warwich; another of this line married Iselda, daughter of Sir Thomas MountJoy, and a descendant of this couple was a baronet in the reign of Charles I. The Hoskins of the south trace back to Sir William Hoskins, whose sons were Thomas and Richard. It was Thomas, son of Thomas, who settled in Tyrrell county, North Carolina; his wife was Mary Roberts and they had o number of children. Their grandson, Thomas, died about 1780. One son of Thomas the immigrant, James, left.l3 children; another son, William, died 1766, and left three sons and three daughters. One of these sons, Richard Hoskins, married Winnefred Wiggins, who has a history for she was secretary of the famous “Edenton Tea Party,” and Richard was the first of the 12 signers of the ‘“Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence,” May 20, 1775, ' Richard’s son Edmund was a western pioneer. Bartholomew Hoskins was living in Virginia before the departure of Sir Thomas Dale. One coat of arms, blazored in Burke’s for the Hoskins is: Barry of six, or, and vert; a bordure ermine. Crest: Two limbs of a tree raguled and couped, in saltire, argent, the sinister surmounting the dexter. No motto is given with this coat armor.

Defeat of Jeffries Leaves No Fighter on Whom the White Race Can Depend to Wrest the Champion Away From the ‘Black Man—Says He Will Not Fight Langford:

By KNOCKOUT.

Jack Johnson now finds himself in much the same position that Jim Jeffrles was in when he defeated Jack Munroe back in 1904. There is nobody for him to fight. Johnson has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is the peer of any man in the mitt game and if he takes care of bimseif it will be a long time before any man will be able to take the championship crown from his head. Sam Langford talks of fighting Jack and has challenged the big black for a battie. Johnson says he will pay no attention to the defi, declaring such a fight would not draw. “I don’t think Langford can ' whip Kauffman or Ketchell,” said Jack, “and everybody knows neither of these men have a chance with me.”

Tommy Ryan has been coaching a big Irishman known as Con O'Kelly. Under Ryan’s instructions O'Kelly won his first battle, a fight with a man named Comiskey, whom no person ever heard of, but foxy Tommy isn’t going to put his man against Johnson for some time to come, if at all. : , Johnson is so much better than any other man now in the ring that the only hope for the white race lies in some unknown being developed in the next year or two who ¢an get him into the ring out of condition as he has been in several battles since he defeated Tommy Burns. Up to the time Johnson fought Jeffries there were many who said the negro didn’t have the necessary .punch to defeat a good man. This nodoubt was due to the big black's peculiar style of milling. He always has been. content to take his time and go easy with an opponent. Before the fight with Jeffries, Johnson said he intended to prove that he did have the punch, and he did. : Then .there were the people who said that Johnson. had a “yellow streak.” If he has Jeffries was unable to find it, and if Jeffries couldn’t make it show there’s little chance for any other man to do so. Jim Corbett was one of those who openly declared that Johnson was lacking in bravery. “Jeffries will make him jump out of the ring,” said Corbett. Again “Pompadour Jim” was wrong. It is a notorious fact that Corbett never has been able to pick a winner. 'He thought Burns would whip. Johnson. He thought Gans would defeat Nelson: We all know the results of those battlese.

Corbett complained before the fight that Jeffries did not box enough. He made the same excuse after Jeffries was knocked out. There probably is some truth to this, but it is doubtful ‘whether the result would have been any different. : Now comes the question: Could Johnson have whipped the Jeffries that whipped Bob Fitzsimmons? It's a hard {uestion to answer and the experts fail to agree. From present day indications it is doubtful whether there ever was a better man than Johnson. . John L. Sullivan was the kind of man who is made to order for Johnson’s style of fighting. Sullivan’s wild swings and bull like rushes would have been easy for Jack, Johnson would have peppered John L. the way he did Jeffries. He would have met these rushes with the famous upper cut and would have had no difficulty in blocking the swings. A fight between Johnson and Jim Corbett would have been pretty to see, but Corbett never had the punch that would have whipped Johnson, and it is doubtful if Jim would have weathered more than one or two, uppercuts.’ - For my part I believe Bob Fitzsimmons in his prime would have been a harder man for Johmson to whip than any.of them. But Bob would have been at the same disadvantage as he was with Jeffries. Thirty or 40 pounds difference in weight would have been too much even for the freckJéed one:: : :

We have got to give it to Johnson, and it is to be hoped that he behaves himself. That big purse he won will pay many a fine for auto speeding and he will make much more in the next

year or so on the.stage. YUne result of the fight was to increase the feeling of dislike between the races. It caused riots all over the country between whites and blacks, and in these battles, the blacks being outnumbered, got the worst of it. One of the worst of the fights was in Washington, and Major Sylvester, chief of the capital police, -issued an order the next day forbidding the showing of the moving pictures of the battle in that city.

REGULAR PLAYING PUTS - CONFIDENCE IN MERKLE

Fred Merkle, the Giants’ first baseman, is a Toledo boy, and has béen a member of the New York National league club since August, 1907. Unti) this season Merkle was a substitute, playing both in the infleld and outfield, but; now he is a regular and one of Manager McGraw’s most valuable players. Merkle has covered first base exceptionally well this season and also has been hitting in timely fashion. He is about 24 years old and began playing professionally with the Tecumseh club of the Southern Michigan league in 1907, the Giants buying hLis release for $2,500. In 1908 Merkle had the misfortune to fail to touch second in a game played with the Cubs, this omission practically costing the Giants the pennant and interfering with Merkle’s work for a long time. When Tenney was crippled last year Merkle covered first base in clever style, and this season his work has been exceptionally good. Playing regularly Merkle has galned lots of confidence in himself and has practically forgotten the incident of September, 23, 1908. He is now making the fans forget Fred Tenney. .

McAleer Changes His Tactics. Jim McAleer has changed his system of handling a ball team since taking hold of the Nationals. During the eight years that he was at the head of the St. Louis team Jim had the reputation of being a driver. He seemed unable to overlook a player’s mistake and handed out his criticism on the ball field. The result was that some of the players under him failed to work up to their standard. Since coming to Washington McAleer has seen the error of his way. He has changed entirely. No matter what sort of a play may come up and how faulty may have been the judgment of one of his men, there is never a call from McAleer. He is resorting to encouraging tactics. Players are not roasted for mistakes. McAleer seldom says a word to'any of his men on the field, unless it is to encourage them. Kinsella Is Resourceful. There is no limit to the resources of President Kinsella of the Springfield team of ‘the Three I league when ‘it comes to acquiring players. . As rapidly as one pitcher shows signs of weakness he gets rid of him and sends for another. Although carrying a half. dozen stars, he has brought back Steiger, the southpaw, whe was sold last fall, but who has been with St. Paul this year.. Kinsélla's bottomless pocketbook makes it hard fcr the .other clubs to keep up with himn. Kinsella has purchased First Baseman McCauley of the West Ends of Chicago. Kelly Starts Off Well. In the first game in whch he played for the Chicago Sox, “Red” Kelly of Notre Dame, made good with the crowd. He got two hits that helped to win the game. George Browne, also a new member of Comiskey's team, started off like a winner. If the Sox could hit:-the ball like they fleld and play the bases they would be higher up in the penmnant race. Close Race in Easterr League. That's a wonderful racé they’re having in the Eastern league. Toronto, Rochester and Newark sre mixing claims,on first place at a lightning chang{ speed. Providence and Baltimore are on the outer efge of the charmed circle, but coming eveg»y day.

OLD CHURCH iS !N TROUBLE

Britain's Historic Pligrim Fathers Memorial Chapel! Congregation: ' Suffering Because of Financial Difficulties.

Congregationalists in England and in Awmerica, says the Westminster Gazette, will learn with regret that the historic Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial chapel, in the New Kent road, is in financial difficulties. So pressing.. indeed, had these become that it was proposed to sell at least a portion of the communion: plate, presented by Jonathan Owen, in 1691. We . understand, however, that arrangements have been made to prevent what would have been an irreparable loss to the church and- that the historic plate will not, after all, be offered to the, public. The treasures of the'church thus to be saved include four communion cups and four bread watters. . . . . The church :s wrobably the oldest €ongregationalist' body in the world, for it orlginateg in a religous society which met for the first time in 1592, at the house of one Roger Rippen, in Southwark.' The congregation suffered much from persecution, many of their number being cast into prison, while several, including their leader, John Penry, were put to death. -Perry was hanged on a gibbef at St. Thomas-a-Watering, in the Old Kent road, not far from the site of the présent memorial chapel. Despite manv trials, however, the congregation gained strength and in 1620 furnished many of the passengers of the Mayflower, when it sailed from the Thames for Hoiland, there to join the Speedwell, ‘on the memorable voyage to New England.. ; During the seventeenth century the congregation met at a chapel in Deadman’s place, Scuthwark,’ close to the site of the old Globe theater, and here for a while was ministered to by nichard Baxter. In the graveyard at Deadman’s place were buried Alexander Cruden, compjler of the well knewn concordance to the Bible. = - The present memorial chapel was erected in 1856, at a cost of $25,000, about a fifth of which sum was subseribed by descendamts of the Pilgrim Fathers in America. - The chapel is visited by many Americans, who rightly regard it as one of the sacred spots in connection with the early history of their country. s

A Cat's Trip in a Mail Sack

The cat will come back—as the old adage says—even if she has to use Uncle Sam’s mail-service to get home. This was proved not long ago in the case of a valuable old tabby belonging to the Tribune's maiiing room. Every newspaper mailing room in the world has a cat—has to have, in faczt, to keep the rats which swarm about the paste barrel in check. On a recent Sunday morning, whken the eariy mail for Boston was being made up, the Tribune's puss crawied into one of the great canvas bags. Pouch and cat were thrown on a wagon and then on a mail car at the Grand Central. When pussy woke up she. was in Boston. Some Kkind hearted railroader over there took care of her for the day, and at night returned her to the sack and shipped. her back -to’ Park Row. She is now. on the job again rolicing ‘the \basement.—New York Tribune. : :.

Indian turnip, named by botanists Arisaema triphyllum, is one of them, and how: many an unsophisticated person hds been made the v'icgim of some heartless practical joker by being beguiled into eating its terribly acrid root, will never be known. This acridity characterizes the juice of the- entire family, even the Taro corms from which the famous poi of the Sandwich Islands is made, containing encugh of it to cause the most excruciating pain if they be eaten before boiling. o - 3

The Rush for Wealth.

There are maultitudes . of people in the werld today who are steering: and sailing for Ophir, simply because it is the land of gold. What will they do if they reach their desired haven? They do not know. 'They do not even ask the question. TlLey will b= rich. They will sit down on their gold Let us look our desires sguarely in the tace. To win riches; to have a certain balance in the bank, and-a certain rating on the exchange, is a real object, a definite object; but it is a frightfully small object for the devotion of a human life, and a bitterly disappointing reward for the loss of an immortal soul. [f wealth is our desired haven, we may be sure that it will not satisfy us when we reach it— Henry van Dyke. ' :
