THE MYSTERY or DEATH
1t Is Partially Solved by Pro-
fessor Loeb. ,
ACTIVE, NOT NEGATIVE, PROCESS

By Experiments with Sea Urchins
Scientist shows That Secret of
Eternal Life lis within Power of
Mankind.
Chicago, Dec. 81. Experiments
which, it is claimed, are a beginning OF
the unraveling of the mysteries of
death were made public by Professor
Loeb at the fourteenth annual meeting
of the American Physiological society
at the University of Chicago.
During the last summer the noted sci
enlist has been continuing his series
of experiments with the eggs of the
lower marine animals, especially those
of the sea urchin, and last night In a
paper entitled 'On the Prolongation of
Life of Unfertilized Eggs of the Sen
Urchin by Potassium Cyanide" he told
group of the foremost psychologists
In America that by means of observa-
ton Of the effects of certain chemicals
upon these minute bits of protoplasln
he was ready to make Il tentative def.
milton of the heretofore unknown ma
ture OF death.
Not u negative PROCESS.
Death Professor Loeb affirmed. was
not negative process, u simple break
ing down Of tissues, as it has been re-
garded up to this time, but an active
agent born with the birth of an egg
and destined, IL not checked, to gain the
upper hand of the life instinct and
bring about extinction. But greater
even than the apparent discovery of
this death agent in all substance is
Professor Loeb's announcement that
he has been able to check it, in the eggs
of the sea urchin at least, by means
of chemical agents. This, it is claimed
means nothing less than that on mi
mute scale the secret of eternal life is
in the power of mankind.
The experiments. Professor Loeb
said. We're simple. Unfertllized eggs OF
the sea urchin were placed in weak
solution of potassium cyanide and
abandoned for several days. In ordi
nary conditions an unfertilized egg dies
in Il few hours. destroyed by the death
agents born with it. At the end OF sew
eral days the eggs were again exam
ined and We're found to be still capable
of fertilization ard of producing
healthy animals.
In explaining the results Professor
Loeb said that the ''mortiferous proc
eSses" We're due to the actions of Ger
tain ferments of an unknown natur,
whose destructive tendency was coun
teracted by the potassium salts.
