THE PRINCIPLE OF LIFE. n

Prof Loeb, the Chicago Scientist who
reems to have made the eggs Of lower
animals a special study is quoted
rs having stated that ne now was
ready to make a tentative definition
OF the nature Of death The statement
was made II appears, In q paper read
at the annual meeting Of the American
Physiological Society, and entitled "on
the ProlongatIon Of Life of Unfertllaed
Eggs Of the Sea Urchln by Potassium
Cyanide Ills conclusions were
founded on experiments and obserya-
dons Of the effects OF certain chemicals
upon the eggs
The theory Of Professor Loeb ia said
70 be, that death Is not merely a mega
tive process, breaking down of the
tissues, but an active agent born with
the birth Of the egg, and destined "
not checked to gain the upper hand
Of the life principle and bring about
extinction. II Is also claimed that
Professor Loeb believes that he has
found the chemical agent that Will
check the progress Of DEATH In the egg
OF the sea urchn az least, and this Is
supposed to mean that science Is about
to solve the mystery Of perpetual life.
IL Is admitted that the professor
himself made no prophecies, and did
not commit himself by thoorIzing, but
confined himself to statement Of
facts, leaving the differences to his
hearers, What he, according to the re-
ports, said was, that "unfertilized eggs
Of the sea urchln were placed in a weak
solution Of potassium cyanide and
abandoned for several days In ordn-
AIRY conditions an unfertll2ed egg dies
IN few hours, destroyed by the death
agents born with It. At the end Of
several days the eggs were again ex-
amined and were found to be still
capable OF fertilization and Of produce
ing healthy animals lie added that
THE 'mortiferous processes we're due
to the actions Of certain ferments of
an unknown nature, whose destructive
tendency was counteracted by the po-
tasslum salts.'
Possibly the differences drawn from
those statements are too imaginary
But II Is to be expected that through
the diligent study of the great book of
God, Nature, truth upon truth viii
be revealed, and even tho mystery of
life and death be unrayeled. seers Of
old have described an age OF the world.
IN which the days Of man shall be as

perbole. But If such a condition Is to
be brought about It will be on per-
fectly natural principles, and in ac-
cordance with the workings of nature,
most Of which are as yet a secret to
human comprehension. While Il Is
necessary to take announcements Of
scientific discoveries with o great deal
Of discrimination II would be folly to
look upon every pioneer in new fields
Of research, as a charlatan, In past
oGes this was too often done, and this
greatly retarded the dispersion Of the
dense clouds OF ignorance that hung
over the greater part of the nations Of
the world.

another survey by the Columbia Valley
Company. No construction work has
yet been done. but the survey has been
made and everything will be in readi-
ness for progress when the required
rights across the government reserves
shall be granted. The company is cap
italized at $3,000,0O0.
Nothing is given out regarding the
forces behind the Columbia Valley
Railroad organization, but it appears to
be very much alive, and it is not
deemed probable that so much activity
would be manifested unless there was a
serious intent behind it. A line down
the north bank of the Columbia might
not work to the disadvantage OF Port
land, because the bridge to be built at
Vancouver will let trains across to Port
land without inconvenience. Bat it
seems to contemplate harbor at the
mouth of the Columbia on the north
side of the river, and much nearer the
sea than Astoria is. 1t is said that the
Columbia valley enterprise is not re-
lated to any OF the present railroad
combinations, but is wholly independ-
ent venture.

DIMES WITH EDITORS.
Banquet in Honor Of Prince Henry - Guests
Number One Thousand.

New York, Feb. 27.-Prince Henry
of Prussia dined last night with 900 of
the men who make American newspa-
pers. lie was the special guest of Her
man Riddcr, proprietor of the New
York Stats Zeitung, who gathered at
his table majority of the leading fig
ures in American journalism. They
came from the four quarters of the
country, and made the most noteworthy
gathering of their profession ever as
sembled in the United States.
There was felicitous exchange of
greetings between Prince Henry and
the men who spoke for the journalistic
craft, and the affair claims rank with
one of the notable incidents in the
American tour of the German prince.
The dinner was given in the handsome
ballroom of the Waldorf astoria. but
that immense room was not large
enough to accommodate the newspaper
guests, and the Aston gallery was also
used. The two rooms were splendidly
decorated. Mr. Ridder and the special
guest sat at an elevated table, above
which were the American and German
flags. The slaves were crossed and the
banners, draped fanlike, reached out
like the wings of huge butterfly.
Above them was the Prussian Eagle,
done in incandescent lights. From
the boxes hung vines, and set in on the
lodges were hundreds of palms. Each
table carried boquets of American
Beauties.

that purpose. The committee, having
visited the site OF the proposed canal, is
practically unanimous in saying the
latest estimate is far too great, yet
most all the members admit that the
opening of the river is very essential.
The committee will repeal the boat
railway proposition that has been pend
ing 80 long, but the balance of about
5000, 900 now remaining will not be
converted into the treasury, but will be
allowed to stand as an appropriation
towards canal 1t is expected that
when the bill passes through the senate
and conference this boat railway bal
ance will be made available for the new
survey and examination.
The committee is making Il liberal
allowance for Oregon improvements
generally, and claims that the amounts
appropriated will be sufficient to insure
the continuation of the work for the
next two years. 1t has been decided to
make a slightly smaller allowance for
the Columbia than was carried in the
bill which suffered defeat in the last
congress, the committee taking the
position that 5000, 0OO is more than can
proftably be used in this time. If
the house does not provide for con-
tinuing contract at the mouth of the
river, the senate will probably make
this change, so that the initial aprro-
priation will be a matter of small con-
sequence. Appropriations for continu-
ing contracts are made each year by the
sundry civil bill.
