NATURE OF LIFE.


A Talk on the Interactiop of the Constit-
uents of Protop!asm.
Herbert Spencer's definition of the
nature OF life implies, as is we'll 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 rais view must be very
materially modified in the light Of some
exceedingly interesting experiments re
Gently brought to the notice of the
Royal society by Horace Brown, whose
classic researches on that interesting
class of ferments the engines are well
known. He has found that by submit
ting seeds to the very low temperature
Of evaporating liquid air. g., from
-163 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 n
siderably below that at which ordinary
chemical reactions take place, the re-
suit is very remarkable aud would ap-
pear to show that although o state of
complete chemical inertness in proto-
plasm may be established it does not
necessarily lead to a destruction Of it's
potential activity.
Is this %protoplasm thus brought to a
resting" condition to burst into activi-
ty on restoring favorable conditions? II
SO, what becomes of life during this
~''rest?" These observations are also of
interest in connection with the sugges-
tion of Lord Kelvin that the OF gin of
life as we know it may have been extra
terrestrial and due to the ''moss grown
fragments from the ruins of another
world which reached the earth as
meteorites. That such fragments might
circulate in the intense cold space for a
perfectly indefinite period without pref
udice to their freight of seeds or spores
is, Horace Brown remarks, almost GER
tain from the facts we know about the
maintenance of life by resting" pro-
toplasm. The difficulties in the way of
accepting such a hypothesis certainly
do not lie in this direction. Here is an
interesting problem for biologists, and
the development of the question will be
followed with the keenest interest.

quence Of this that the number was
accursed, together apparently with all
combinations OF figures into which it
enters.
THE SUPERSTITION CHALLENGED
Sooner or later it was. of course, in
evitabe that so widespread and so fas-
cinating a superstition should be chal-
lenged. Some thirteen years agO-the
very interval of time is an odd coinci-
dehce-a club was started In New
York for the express purpose OF wag-
ing war against the associations con-
nected with the lucl1less numeral. The
members were always to consist OF
some multiple OF thirteen. They dined
together on the 18th of every month,
thirteen at the table, and the club dues
were l3 cents q mouth. 1t will be re-
membered that only a short time ago
a similar institution was established in
England, and a farcical entertainment
was provided, at which knives were
crossed, salt was spilled, deaths heads
and crOssbOnes ornamented the walls,
and the walters were chosen because
they squinted and possessed the evil
eye. The American club habitually
publishes reports to prove that, indi-
vidually and collectively, they are as
healthy, prosperous and lOng-lived as
other members of the community; nor,
so far as we are aware. did any serious
calamity fall upon their daring init
tors In London.
OTHER SIMILAR QUEER IDEAS.
It is idle to imagine that an inveter-
ate superstition can be got rid of by
such merely theatrical brayado as this
The case stands with IL as it does
with a similar idea about the folly OF
undertaking any serious enterprise on
a Friday There are whole classes OF
mankind to whom these notions form a
/ kind of unwritten creed. Everyone
| knows that sailor does not like his
ship to be commissioned on a Friday
| Indeed, one OF the explanations given
of the disaster which befell the
Thrasher torpedo boat was that It had
unluckly commenced its cruise on The
penultimate day of the week. Soldiers
though not quite so superstitious as
sailors, are by no means free from
| similar prejudices, and gamblers who
live the life of the nerves, believe In
luck with obstinate tenacity. The the
atrical profession, again. has its flxeC
! beliefs.
