Prof. Loeb claims that whenever the
nerve particles pass from a state of So
luton into that of a jelly. the nerve be-
comes active. The changes of the nerves
from the one condition to the other are
caused by charges of Negative electricity,
and whenever such charges are introduced
the nerves contract.
Death is said to be the result of the
stagnation of the nerves, and the ques-
ton Is how far this discovery will enable
psychologists to oppose the processes that

the discovery seems to afford an explana-

the efforts of our people to make memoir

of reunions marking that event as the
fact that our visitors from the classic city
heartily enjoyed renewing old associations
and rovving scenes of their youth. The
story of that weeks joyous experiences,
we are pleased to state, has been told in
a form that will preserve 1t for future
years, a Handsomely illustrated pamphlet
having been published by the Vermont as

Prof Locbs Remarkable Discoveries

The scientific world is now discussing
the wonderful discoveries which Prof.
jacques Loeb. professor of physiology in
made AS a result of his exhaustive in
Vcstsations in physiological psychology
prosecuted in accordance with the indu
tive method of scientific investigation, he
claims to have shown that instructive and
involuntary actions, which were formerly
supposed to be directed by half-conscious
brain centres or ganglions. are due either
to chemical or "tropic" reactions, or both.
This is held to be especially true of the
'inVoluntary functions" of the higher ami
mails. 1t is found, for instance, that a
certain chemical solution, of which COM
mon salt is an element, causes muscular
tissue to contract rhythmically. Testing
this on portions of the heart tissue and
on detached hearts of certain animals,
Loeb showed that it would inevitably cause
such contractions or heart beats, and on
injecting it into the human blood vessels,
lie found it had the same effect. Thus a
mass of activities throughout the animal
world, which have been formerly ascribed
to intelligence or to ganglionic supelVi-
sion, are shown 10 be simple chemical
physical or galvanic reactions. such as are
common to all protopasmlc matter.
Prof Loebs most wonderful discovery
however relating TO the nerve system OF
the human body, will, it is claimed, be Sc
far-reaching in its consequences as re
warrant the hope that we may soon know
what are the conditions and the limits
Of mans power to prolong his own life
Briefly stated, he has discovered that oul
nerves, or at least the inner cores of them
consist of what is called a collodal solu
