MORE FACTS TO COME.
G. G. RIedy Thinks We Are on the
Eve of Some Wonderful
knowledge.

c. G. Riedy, the well-known microscope
expert, said when speaking Of DR.. Eisen' s
discovery as given to the world in THE
CALL yesterday: cit seems to me that DR..
Eisen has made discovery the real i'm
portance of which will not be known for
some time. OF its complex relations to
such short notice, but l will say that DR..
Eisen has found something really new.
"a great deal remains to be seen in
those slides yet, and undoubtedly will be
when they are examined under more pow
erful microscopes than are to be found IN
this part of the world. But as it is, Dr.
Eisen has proved many things that were
only wild theories at the BEST and has
also opened the way to much speculation
By this mean that the centrosome, being
proved living organism, is capable of
many things OF which we at present know
nothing.
There is no doubt about its independ-
ence, nor its assimilation of food, but
whether it is capable OF motion through
the blood serum still remains to be ascer-
tanned. Its change, from mere speck on
the nucleus to an independent organism,
is little different from the evolution of
germ of any kind to an animated being.
"As the centrosome Is now proved to be
the center Of the cell, the cell itself occupies
a much lower position in scientific research
than it did formerly, and in that respect
VIII change all course of study.
1.-The reason that DR.. Essen made his
discovery is due to the use of a stain that
rendered the differed spheres of the plas-
mocyte visible. His indefatigable efforts
to have proof of his discoveries of course
must be given credit. l am sure that he
made many hundreds of slides before he
felt that he was on the road TO anything
new. San Francisco has great reason TO
be proud of having such a man as DR..
Eisen in her MIDST. DR.. Eisen must be
conceded to be at the head of the world of
microscopic science, and San Francisco
has great deal to be proud of in the fact"

DAVID STARR J0RDAN's IDEAS
GIVEN IN DETAIL.
Professor Ritter, George Otis Mitchell
Carlos Troyer and c. c. Riedy Also
Talk About the Centrosomes.

The publication in The CALL yesterday
morning of q most important biological
discovery, made by DR.. Gustav Eisen of
this City, has attracted general attention
from scientific and medical men. Many
Of them have not yet had time 10 study
the article in detail. but are able to say
that it is one of the most remarkable facts
ever revealed by the microscope, 1t has
interested many who look at the subject
in different ways. The scientist sees a
big step made toward more thorough
understanding of the forces of nature, and
tie medical man has been made aware of
few facts having direct bearing on EN-
bryology. Those who consider the matter
from spiritual point of view feel more
firmly. convinced than ever that God will
yield up the truth to those who search for
it, The great importance of the discovery
is conceded by all, and the general opinion
is that DR. Essen is at the head of the
microscope workers of the world.
The position. that Dr. Eisen has occu-
pied heretofore entities his W ORR to the
greatest consideration. Four years ago
the great university at Upsala, Sweden,
issued souvenir OF the great mieroscop-
istsof the world and gave DR.. Eisen the
lird place. Since that time his micro
tonne. work with the earthworms of Cali
fornia has called forth praise from the
great scientific centers Of Europe and
a merica.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-01

quill between these two schools of scien-
tific thought. Meanwhile the microscopist
has only one thing to remember-the mat
ter is not one of arguments, words or the
cries, but of fact. Facts present wall of
adamant to arguments; they cannot be
explained away by words and they knock
all opposing theories into a cooked hat.
Professor Eisen, it would appear, has
opened to microscopes wide and varied
field, not OF speculation nor of fantasy
but of positive physical fact. Throwing
the gate open he says to us: Now, gentle
men, go in and win.
GAS in duel, other circumstances being
equal, the victory falls to the best-armed
combatant 60 in this invasion of the
centrosomes kingdom, the man who has
the best microscope will achieve the best
results. The CALLS enterprise in bringing
the first fruits of this great discovery to
the notice of the scientific world will
undoubtedly lead the public to look to its
columns for news or further Developments

BEARS ON HEREDlTY.
Carlos Troyer Thinks the Centric
some May Have a Char
aCt9r.

Carlos Troyer, who is one OF the best
students of biology in San Francisco and
was for many years connected with the
Academy of Sciences, is greatly enthused
over DR.. Eisen's discovery and thinks it
will be far-reaching in its results. When
speaking of the matter yesterday, he said !:
II was never more surprised in my life
than when l picked up The CALL this
morning and saw the account OF Dr. Eisen's
discovery. l have known for some time
that he was working hard on something of
the kind, but had no idea that it was any
thing of such great Importance.
at is difficult 10 consider the matter in
its entirety on such short notice, but to
me it seems almost like the discovery OF a
new world, inhabited by beings that we
don't know anything about. OF course,
we are now certain that the centrosome is
living organism, but how far does its in
dependence go2 That remains to be
found out.
In fact, the real importance of the dis
covery lies in the field of study that it
opens up. The microscopic can now look
among the fiaments of protopasm and
find things he did not know to exist there
These centrosomes may have different
kinds of characters that can be seen if we
have the right kinds of lenses. This will
account, to large extent, for heredity.

A TRIUMPH IN PROSPECT.
George Otis Mitchell Thinks the
Discovery Promises Advances
In Science.

1--WE are certainly on the eve Of great
and wonderful discovery" commented
George Otis Mitchell, vice-principal of the
Girls High School. Mr.. Mitchell is well
known among local and foreign micros-
scopIsts for mis- extensive researches in the
mystic realms of things minute, and is
considered an oracle by the hair-splitting,
cell-dividing fraternity.
ut might be said, in fact" went on Mr..
Mitchell that Professor Eisen has al
ready made a great discovery. He GER
tainly has opened the door TO a vast do
main of hitherto unexplored and IN
dreamed-of k nowledge. The mere notion
of the exquisite and complicated system of
cells which is found in all forms of ami
mate and inanimate life has always had
for me singular fascination.
'"Fhe battling mystery which seems to en-
velope the entire subject, while perpex-
ing, and to some students discouraging,
has always whetted my desire 20 add some
little mite to the mediocre modicum of in
formation on the matter which the scien-
tlfc world at present has.
Professor Eisen's discovery, it seems to
me, has given the signal for grand tri-
umph of science in the world of atoms.
We know IN the first place that things
which grow have life-either plant life or
animal life. The life in the centrosome
in blood corpuscle, granting it to have
life, must be animal.
Here we come to most interesting
point. Professor Eisen's researches seem
to have led him to the positive knowledge
of an almost independent life or system of
countless lives in the body of one being.
AS far as his investigations have gone
their results are IN the highest degree i'm
portant TO the world of science. But if his
strides could be continued and brought to
further development with the aid OF some
of the more powerful microscopes, of which
we have none here. the ground gained
would be incalculabe.
II refer particularly to the process OF re-
production. We have seen that these mi
mute living organisms grow. Now the
question arises, How do they come into
existence2 How do they perpetuate their
kind? Are they distinct in point of sex
or are they hermaphroditic in character?
"These are questions which the micro
scope alone can answer and doubt If we
have an instrument of sufficient power in
this entire country for satisfactory solu-
ton of them. The matter of sex in the
centrosome seems to me of paramount inn
portance. Advocates of the spontaneous
generation theory will doubtless try to
make OF this discovery hook upon which
to bang the well-worn traopings of their
hobby horse, while the opponents of that
school will leave no stone unturned in or
der TO prove that for the propagation of
the tiny centrosome perfect union of two
principles distinct In regard of sex is nee
essary.
Hence we may look for some interest
ing battles to be waged by tongue and

SIXTH SENSE FOR MAN.
Countess Wachtmeister and Mr.. John
son Do Not Agree on the
Subject

In reading a paper on 1.-THE Destiny of
Man" at the Theosophical Hall at 800 Post
street last night, a. ]. Johnson OF the
American Theosophical Society declared
that mankind was on the eve of the estab-
lishment of a new race and the develop
ment of q sixth sense.
He said: America will be the first home
of the new race, and that intuition is the
forerunner of the sixth sense. There were
signs to show that the sixth sense will be
manifest in a third eye, the use of which
will be not only 10 foresee the future, but
10 look away back into the past. London
physicians who had noticed a physical
change in the last generation of London
infants inquired of the late Nine. Bla-
vatsky, the revered theosophical seer, why
it was so.
"She told them it was sign of the COM
ing of the sixth sense again, and that it
was taught in theosophy that mankind
once possessed this sense, cons ago."
Mr.. Johnson, continuing, said there
would be established in this country in
the near future school to teach mysti-
cism, antiquities and esoteric secrets, of
which real adept is to be the head.
The Countess Wachtmeister lectured
last night at Native Sons Hall, at Ala
Mason street, on "Hypnotism and Its
Dangers" to large audience. She is at
tached to the 'old school, of Theosophy,
of which Colonel H. S. Olcott is president.
When told, after her lecture, what Mr..
Johnson had said about a new race, a
sixth sense and an occult school, the
Countess seemed disturbed.
She said: "Oh, pshawl They are max
ing themselves ridiculous; they are tear
ing down the teachings of theosophy.
Nine. Blayatsky said we are not to have
the sixth sense for very, very long time
yet-and we are not. The same also in
regard TO the new race.
Mime. Tingley, a medium, the new
esoteric head of the American section,
claims to have an Egyptian adept behind
her, and if this school is TO be established
he is the adept meant. You know Nine
Blavatsky's adept was Hindoo, and she
met him in the flesh in London and also
in India.

spookical theosophy, of Mrs. Tingley mas

ceremony, and / don't believe Claude
Falls Wright met his bride thousands of
years ago in Egypt, or that it is possible
for him to know it if he did,
