He Believes He Is On The Verge Of the Discovery of the Dream Of All Ages, the "Elixir of Perpetual Youth. In a paper read before the American Society of Naturalists at Chicago laat week, Prof. Jacques Loeb, of tbe Uni versity of Chicago, made the announce ment that he had discovered the physical processes that accompany life, and that eciricity, and not heat energy, ia the basis of life. Heolaimeto have praved theory which ovartbrowa s fundamen tal position of the teachings of text books of physiology. Ten years ago he was rat led into this lino of research by the observation that electricity waa able to affect protoplasm in a more univeraal manner than any other stimulus. He then oatne lo the oonclusion that if eleo triciiy waa able to have auoh effeota in the form of currents, it ought to have ke results when io the form of "ions." Ao ion,'' he explains, "is ao atom or group or atoms carrying a charge of lec Irioity." It will be recalled that ao ami oeut English scientist announced several mouths ago that be had experiments bieh satisfied him that what is com monly the '-atom" of matter is onaupoaed ions" of electricity. Tbe two Hoes of experiment appear to point toward the oonclusion that electricity ii the basis of matter and life. Prof. Loeb desoribea another eiperi ent which of interest. Unfertiliisd sues of the sea urcbto ware plsoed to a weak aolution of potassium oyaiide and abandoned lor several days, Io ordi nary condition! an unfertilised egg diet n a few boura, but at tbe end of several aya the egel ware again examined and found lo b "ill capable of fertiliution and of producioe health t animals. His theory ia that by the use of certato chern- ioals'tha soiive principle inherent in liv ing orgaoirm, which eventually causes death, may he overcome, and that life may bs prolonged indefinitely. In otbtr words, Prof. Lueb believes he is oo the ysrge of the diaoovery of the dream of all dges tho "elixir of perpetual youth. His announcements have been made wits s fins degree of reserve and without any sneculationa ar prophecits as to what be may bs able to discover by future expe riment. Eminent Englhh scientists si press the opinion that the ptoof pre- aentad by Prof. Loeb is not sufficient establish th claims ha puts forth. w VISIT OH WBITB-w The Petersburg Furniture Co., 203 AND 207 N.

J) SCENES FAMOUS fj HISTORY, Tb Courthouse Where Patrick Henry Made His Speech bull Standing. The scene of Patrick Henry's great scseoh os the stamp act ia ona of lbs most sharming little buildings is Amen' st, tbe old courthouse at Williamaburg, Va , which waa designed by 8ir Chriato- oher Wren, the architect of St. Paul'a cathedral and other of the most famous p iblie sdifioea of England, saja s wtiter io the Chicago Herald. It stands today n as excellent state of preservation and looka very small compared with tbe ordi sary county courthouse of modern Amer ica, but. unlike many of them, tt is ohaata snd symmetrical example of ar chitecture, beautiful is its simplicity. Tbe room is which tbs house of bur gesses met os that memorable occasion is BBehasged and is still used for judicial purposes. Every Saturday morning s justioe of the pesos occupies the bench and impose, loss upon Ihs petty offend ers, mostly negroes, who are brought be fore him. The remainder of the build- log, which ia of s single story, furnish Starters for tbe aounty slerk, oouotj saaurer sod other local iSoiala. It ia entreating bielorieal faot that Patrick Hanry wrote hia famoui reten tions upoo the fiy leaf of Thomas Jeffer sob's vojums ol "Coke's" Commentary Union Littleton," snd it was from Jaf- fereon'a modest chamber that this brief leas barriatar went lo the lit lie of,tthouse ig May, 17ftS. to deliver the speech SMatsat lasallos without repraseotatios which made him the moat lamoue mas of the hour sod as notorious in Eoglsnd ss he was popular io the Amerioaa sole-sin. Jcfferaon and Henry met s few years before at the house of Mr. Dasdridga, tbs father of Martha Washington where tbej sprat stvel p!eae,ut daya together and, began a lrieodhip that taxied until political difereooes divided them toward the eod of their lives. Whes Heory eame frequently to Williamsburg, ha shared Jrfferaon'a bed for the lack money to pay s hotel bill, sod thus their intimacy continued. EQ0ER3I EDUCITI3JI.

And yet the great deeds are few. The mightiest men Find opportunities but now and then. Shall one sit idle through long days of peace, Waiting for walls to scale ? Or lie in port until some "Golden Fleece" Lures him to face the gale? There's work enough; why Idly, then, delay. His work counts most who labors every day. A torrent sweeps down the mountain's brow, With foam and flash and roar, Anon its strength is spent, where is it now? Its one short day is o'er. But the clear streams that through the meadows flows All the long summer on its mission goes. Better the steady flow; the torrent's dash Soon leaves its rent track dry. The light we love is not a lightning flash From out a midnight sky. But the sweet sunshine, whetse unfailing ry, From its calm, trcme of blue lights every day. The sweetest Uvea are those to, duty wed. Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-knit strands of one unbroken thread, Where love ennobles all. The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells, The Book of Life the shining record tells. "TO THE JEDGKINT DAY." i. When things went wrong, grandf a ther he'd say: "Well, the world rolls on to the Je dgmint Day; An' what should we sigh fer an' why should we care? The reckonin' comin' sometime somewhere I Bear with the winter, an' dream o' the Ma,yi The world rolls on to the Jedgmiut Day!" II. When things went wrong, an' we knelt in dust To thank the Lord fer the poorest crust, An the old-time friends that we thought we knowed Had left us friendless along life's road, It waa always ncihia' but this to say: "The world rolls on to the Jedgmint Day I" III. So we stifled the sigh. V irl4 fer the sang, Knowin.' Gad. made the right, an' would reckon the wrong; An' trouble seemed lighter, an' even the night Had. stars never dreamed of to make it bright, We can bear, we can suffer along the world's way Fer "The world rolls on to the Jedgmint Day!" The Great Dismal swamp is s region atrsnge and interesting, weird and soli tary. It occupies s billowy plain soma 40 miles in length by 25 miles in breadth along tbe Atlantic aeaboard, extending from Suffolk, Va., in s southerly direc tion, well ioto tbe bounds of North Car olina. Its deep shades, great si retches of brake snd its solitude make it a region of in terest. To the naturalist and sportsman it has much to offer. In ita silent fast nesses tbe black boar inds s home ad mirably adapted to his protection and in every way favorable to his locreate. Hare amid the denae growth of under brush and limber he may live in compsr- ative safety, and there ia perhaps no lo cality io tbe whole eastern United Slates of like extent wbicb can offer a larger bear population than this great morasr. The white tailed deer ia also ao abund ant deoisen of the swamp, Irequeoiiof the elevated parts. In addition to the deer and bears, there is s big game feature of a rather unusual nature. The swamp abounds in wild cows. These aoimals, of a brown color and aomewhat smaller than the or dinary oow, having for many yeara been under the peculiar conditions of tbe swamp, until they are almost completely apacialised, are extremely wild. They sre feraliied from the herds of the fsrms adjacent to tbe swamp, and are the des cendants of cattle wntch many years back wandered into the fastnesses and were lost to their owners, finally becom ing wild. Being so longer recognised ss property the sportsman msy call game all that he may have the prowess to shoot. Lake Druutmosd, some teo miles from Suffolk, Va , is the only great body of water in the swamp. It is s beautiful sheet of water, of ao oval contour and fringed with s heavy growth of limber, mostly oypresa, white oedar and black gum. Its water ia of a dark color owing to the deoaying vegetation of the sur rounding country, but is suitable to drink, and possesses tbe quality of remaining pure longer than moat other water. For this reason it is often carried ts ses bj sailors oo long voyagea. Ths ohafaeteriatio mammalian fauns is of a samitropioal nature aa regarda the smaller forms, while there are many trop ical plants. Of birda there are not many kinds, prothonotary, hooded and Swan son's warblers and the Maryland yellow- throat being tbe principal smaller forms.
