Would they produce the membrane on the starfish egg also? , Since under appropriate conditions Dr. Loeb was able to fertilize sea urchin eggs with the active elements of starfish, producing thereby a hitherto Impossible hybrid, it seemed to him that the latter must carry into the egg substances similar to those carried in by the active element of the urchin.

It was well known to Professor Loeb when he began his Investigation on sea urehin eggs that one constant accompaniment of its normal development was the formation of a delicate, transparent membrane about the egg. This membrane appeared with such rapidity as to seem literally to jump away from the egg surface. The space between the membrane and the egg surface always was filled with transparent lluid.

Order The board of managers of Pittston Hospital are In receipt of a message trom Dr. Dixon, chief of the State Health Iiureau, requesting the local institution to render aid to the State authorities In stamping out the typhoid fever epidemic at Nanticoke. The assistance of the local hospital will be in the nature of earing for some of the patients who have only a light attack of the disease. Although an affirmative answer to the request has not yet been granted, the subject Is under consideration. Arrangements can be made at the Pittston Hospital for the accommodation of from live to ten of the patients, and they will be placed in the east ward of the building. The interesting romance of a lost watch was brought to light in this city by the finding of the timepiece in a car of 1,500 bushels of oats which was being unloaded at the Miner-Hlilard Milling Co.'s branch in this city yesterday afternoon. The timepiece is a solid gold one of standard make, beautifully engraved, and considered very valuable. It is now in the possession of Ma:tin V. yulnn, manager of the mill, and will be shipped by express to its owner, who has already been apprised of the find and is consequently in a happy mood. Soon after the formation of the membrane the egg would divide into halves, each of which would divide a little later Into two others.

According to the laws of the state of Illinois all grain shipped out of the state is thoroughly inspected by u government Inspector and must be approved by him before shipment. Some six weeks ago while one of the inspectors was-about the performance of his duties he examined the contents of a long line of grain cars in the yard at Chicago. After finishing his work he discovered that his tine open face gold watch was missing. He Immediately came to the conclusion that he must have dropped it while stooping over in a car to gather up some of the grain. In which car he had dropped It was the point that caused anxiety. Alhough discouraged by the old saying afioUt ffie "difficulty of "finding a needle in a haystack," the inspector thought there might be a possibility of finding a watch in a car of oats. He felt the loss of his watch keenly and determined he would not let the incident pass without at least some effort to find it. To overhaul the dozen or more cars he had examined, containing thousands of bushels of grain, would be a momentous task. Another idea came into the inspector's mind and he immediately put it Into execution. Ascertaining the address of every firm to whom were consigned the various cars in which the watch might be. he sent telegrams broadcast. The circumstance was noted and a request made that a close look-out be kept In unloading the cars, and to the person finding the missing watch a liberal reward would be paid.

The testimony and rebuttal finished this morning, and it was expected this afternoon the time would be occupied by the closing pleas of the attorneys for the prosecution and defense and with the judge's charge to the jury. A surprise was created, however, shortly after 1 o'clock when court reconvened. The attorneys for the defendant asked permission to withdraw their client's plea of "not guilty" and substitute "guilty of murder in the second degree." This was agreeable to the prosecuting attorneys and the presiding judge acquiesced. Blanco was immediately called for sentence, which Judge Wheaton pronounced as follows: "The sentence of this court is that you spend -18 years In the penitentiary for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, and stand the cost of this trial; and that you stand convicted until this sentence is complied with." fled that he had, at the instance of the district attorney, made an examination of the prisoner last Friday and last Saturday.

From his examination the physician arrived at the conclusion that Blanco is perfectly sane. The reflexes of the eyes and limbs and all other tests showed him to be perfectly normal. Concerning a wound on his hand, the defendant said the first day he had received it 14 months ago In Italy, and the second day he said that he had received it five years ago. The prisoner explained the disparity of his statements, on the second day, by saying to witness that he had not understood him the first day. The appearance and physical features of the defendant did not lead to any belief that he Is afflicted by hereditary insanity. The only thing that would lead to the belief that the prisoner might suffer at times from a mild form of epilepsy was the prisoner's own story, his description of pains he had.

Yesterday a car containing 1.500 bushels of oats arrived at the Pittston branch of the Mlner-Hillard Milling Co. It was the marked car, and every precaution and care was taken in the unloading, not only that the watch might be discovered but also to prevent It getting into the machinery of the mill. The oats are taken from the car by means of a steam shovel, and during the process of the operation the vigilance of the workmen was rewarded In the finding of the watch. It was in good condition, and uninjured by its long and unusual journey. When wourtd, the timepiece was set running and is keeping good time, showing that no particles of dust got into the mechanism.
