NATURE OF LIFE.
A Talk on the Interaction of the Constit.
uents of Protoplasm.

uents of Protoplasm.
Herbert Spencer's definition of the
nature of life implies, as is well known,
a continuous adjustment of internal to
external relations, says the London
Lancet. In other words, vitality is pre-
served by Intersections going Oh between
the constituents of the protoplasm. On
the face of it this view must be very
materially modified in the light Of some
exceedingly interesting experiments re
Gently brought to the notice of tho
Royal society by Horace Brown, whose
classic researches on that interesting
class of ferments the engines are we'll
known. He has found that by submit
ting seeds to the very low temperature
of evaporating liquid air.. e., from
-1S3 degrees G. to 1872 degrees C.-for
ITO consecutive hours their power Of
terminating is not in any way impair
ed. Since the above temperature is con-
siderably below that at which ordinary
chemical reactions take place, the re-
suit is very remarkable and would ap-
pear to show that although a state Of
complete chemical inertness in proto-
plasm may be established it does not
necessarily lead to destruction of its
potential activity.
Is this protoplasm thus brought to
resting" condition to burst into activi-
ty on restoring favorable conditions? If
SO, what becomes of life during this
"rest?" These observations are also of
in connection with the sugges-
tion of Lord Kelvin that the origin Of
life as we know it may have been extra
and duo to the "moss grown
fragments from the ruins of another
world" which reached the earth as
neteorites. That such fragments might
circulate in the intense cold space for
indefinite period without pref
ldice to their freight of seeds or spores
S, Horace Brown remarks, almost GER
ain from the facts we know about the
maintenance of life by resting" pro-
oplasm. The difficulties in the way of
ccepting such a hypothesis certainly
o not lie in this direction Here is an
lteresting problem for biologists, and |
1e development of the question will be {
)llowed with the keenest interest. I

If Spain Calls Coal Contra
band.

The Spanish government has reserved
liberty on the question of coal being a
contraband of war. The definition of
goods OF war, rs given by McCulloch. is
us follows: "Whcn two nations are en-
gagged in war, if there be any foreign
article or articles necessary for the de-
fence or subsistence of either of them
and without which it would be difficult
tor it to carry on the contest, the other
may lc9lllmatcly exert every means in
It's power to prevent its opponent being
supplied with such article or articles
All writers Of authority on international
law admit this priuciple and Law i'll
down that nation which should fur
hlsh belli%ercnt with articles contra
band of war; that IL with supplies Of
Warlike stores or any other article re-
CURED for the prosecution of the war.
would forfeit her neutral character, and
That the other bclligercnt would be
warranted in preventing such succors
from being sent and coniiscatinr them
as lawful prize"
According to this authority, if Spain
should decide coal to be contrabaud i,
would be impossible for IL lnited States
squadron lighting in Asiatc waters or
III any Other place to obtain coal cXcc,t
from their own coaling stations. This
OF course will likewise apply to the
spanish fleet in Cuban waters, and if fine
u1"ed States should capture Porto t
hco us one of the first steps, and take {
possession OF any other available coal l.
ng station, Spain would be seriously u
Norsted as to carrying on war so far c
