When tier motor car was observed entering tnrough the frreat iron gates, the Prince of Wales went to meet her and, as ne was handed out by M. Poklewski, the Prince shook her warmly by the hfind and accompanied her to the royal box. where the Queen had just a vacant chair by her side and the King greeted her most effusively.

Well-to-do people want to escape the perils and turmoil of a revolution, and to take their money with them. The emigration has been proceeding steadily since the January Families have been leaving Russia by the score for Scandinavia, Germany and France, and none of them return. Tim departures have become much more numerous since the colossal disaster of th Sea of Japan, and they are increasing daily. Except for the official classes, and tha merchants anil ninnufacturera who cannot desert their business, nearly every family of wealth ia the country seems to be trying to realize money by selling securities, or disposing of land at almost any price that may be offered. They want to invest their money In a safer country than Russia.
Many of them actually sold their Russian securities to invest in the Japanese war loans. They confess It Quite openly, without fear of exciting contempt for Uielr luck of patriotism. There is no loyalty left among the wealthy classes; that la among the many things the war haa destroyed. They say it is not Russia's war at nil, but the war of the bureau crats, and that the governing classes must pay the price It as beat thejr can.

tVpyrisht. In Ui" Ple-w Pill). Co. t.New YirU Wurlu.i LONDON, June 2-4. James Butler Burke, the tfilked-of scientist in Europe today, is an Irishman by birth and education.
I-fe came to Cavendish laboratory. Cambridge, a couple of yearsvago from Trinity College, Dublin, to pursue ids studies -and experiments in bacteriology. Three years ago he turned his attention to the problem of spontaneous generation. "Observins that radium had several qualities In common with cyonogen," he said, "which Pfluger declared had elements of life, while radium has energy of very much higher magnitude, I began experimenting with it. I tried radi um, with sterilized bouillon, placing them together in a tost tube, the radium being in actual contact with the bouillon.
After a couple of days I got these cultures." Prof. Burke showed photographs mag nified of culture which were mere globular dots. 'Sub-cultures of these were made," he continued, "and, although to grow, they don grow like bacteria. They are soluble in water; bacteria are not. That goes far to dispose of the suggestion that they result from imperfect sterilization of the medium.
Then, when you examine them through a microscope, they show distinct indica tion of growth and segregration. When they reach a certain size, they subdivide, which shows they are r.ot crystals. either. Possibly they are a primitive form of life. Nearly everything is radioactive even the earth itself and, in some suitable medium, life may have originated in that way.
What has been done sug gests vitality. Besides, if my conclu sions are correct, they fit in exactly with Herbert Spencer's definition of life, 'The continuous adjustment of in ertia! to external relations," and are a consistent emphasis on the need of Adapting the organism to its environ ment. I am pursutn.tr my investigations and will publish a more ambitious report soon." The Daily Chronicle collected the opinions of leading scientists on Prof. litirUe discovery. Sir William Ramsey says: "there mav or may not he something in trie iiscovery, hut at present 1 prefer not to mane any deiinite statement.

Dr. MetcrunKotT says: new scien tific fact can be accepted until cheesed bv repeated experiments by flirtere'it persons, under all sorts of conditions.
It would rvuuire a great deal of cor roboration to make me accept Burke's results as proof of spontaneous genera- ion. Dr. himself one of the mol eminent biological experts, said: Hir- her work will doubtless enable Burke sluw th- bodies are really living hings or modified forms of crystalline matter. Sir Oliver Dodge says: "People must not be surprised if something be done in the laboratory which may be prop- rly considered to he of the nature of pontaneous generation." Edward Clodd. the great Darwinian commentor.
says: The manifest inti mate Oi nnwtlon between vital find ciee- rioal phenomena is all in favor of '-he of Burke's conclusions."

Powerful Religious Orders, Active Under Leo XIII, Are Ignored and Cardinals Are Mere Advisers, Never Consulted. Specinl Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, I.r Press Publishing Co. Xew York World.) ROME, June 24. The autocratic regime of the Church has never been better personified than in the persjn of the present Pope, who, in only two years of pontificate, has succeeded in centering upon himself all the executive, power of the church, which, under his predecessors, was widely dlstrlb-tted among the many of the prelates of the Roman curia.
It was then nearly impossible to reach the Pope directly and any demands or petitions advanced made the round of the bureaucracy of the curia, and generally managed to meet with a response without ever reaching the Pope. Even the powerful religious orders, which, under Pius Xs. predecessor, exercised a large and growing influence In church matters, have been obliged to retire behind the scenes, leaving to the person of the Pope the full and nntrammeled exercises of his wide jurisdiction, and the Cardinals are reduced to the condition of papal advisers who are never consulted. OUR TRUSTS FIGURE IN LITERATURE OF FRANCE Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, HHKj.
by I'rew. 1'uMlslilng Co. (New York World.) PARIS. June 24. "American Kings" is the title of a new piece played at the Vaudeville Theater as an example of the increasing curiosity in France as regards the peculiar features of American life.
It deals with the problem and personalities of trusts. Not obscurely. It tells the story of the famous Leiter corn corner, complicated by certain borrowing from the alleged relations which are believed to exist between the Rockefellers, senior and Junior, a son disapproving of paternal unscrupulous rapacity and r.eeklng to force restitution of what la lll-gotu-n in his father's fortune. The critic Faquet confesses disappointment that the authors do not succeed in making clear the baffling psychology of the heartless trust magnates, which he calls mystery offering a unique chance for native American playwrights to elucidate for old Europe's benefit. Paul Adam says he Is now at work on a novel which Is a social and economic study of trusts.
His voyage to America was really undertaken with a view-to getting himself informed on these questions; he studied minutely St. Louis, Chicago and New York. The scene of his novel Is laid in France with, as chief charac ters, a French engineer, who. living lotig in America, tries to found a trust Ht home, but fails tragically through great catastrophe of nature, caused bv the Inability of the Latin races to work on American lines and nature avenging an attempt to ignore the immense temperamental differences between the two.

dpecia! Cable t-i the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1S5, hy Press Publishing Co. (New York World.) PARIS, June 24. "From Monroe to Roosevelt' is a work just published by the Marquis de Barral-Montferrat, in which the author describes Roosevelt as the pivotal person of the history of the modern world, under whose energetic conception of America's place and duty in international politics there arises a sort of American peril which, coupled with the rapid rise of Japan, threatens to make old Europe simply a Greece revived, the home of beauty and romance, but without practical effectiveness in affairs. The Samoan Islands, Hawaii, Cuba, the Philippines, even the late representations to Russia apropos the Jews and the intervention of China, Syria and Morocco are considered stages in a general tendency in which Roosevelt takes a pre-eminent and more effective lead to profit by every occasion, even every pretext for giving the United States a securer footing of the Old World.
Count d'Haussonville, commenting on the book, says that, while he immensely admires the force and character of the American people and esteems the President a splendid moral type and a litterateur of pleasantest achievement, he cannot help seeing In the people and President a menace to Europe, which, in a hundred years, will have been outgrown in population and material power by the great young power. The Count's fears are, however, somewhat mitigated by the reflection that possibly, ns republican Institutions In France were twice wrecked by militarism, so the. United States may be so changed by needs of Its armies and navies nnd the mischances which Internal and external armaments entail that the American peril may fade from the fff rJ-sTV The KATfX an VAN DUSER WEDDING GORGEOUS CEREMONY Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World.

Already incriminating documents from South Africa have been destroyed and vital witnesses spirited out of the jurisdiction of the Investigating Committee. Premier Balfour assured the virtual failure of any genuine investigation when he concealed the existence of the scandals for two yearn and then appointed a merely departmental committee without any powers over witnesses or corruptlonlsts, to inquire into them. This preliminary Investigation merelv gave the guilty parties tirnelv notice to safeguard themselves from effective detection, which, with their great financial resources and their pull with the South African authorities, was an easy matter.
