INsPIRITING CoNDITIoNs.-A divorce
was lately granted in Chicago to a
somewhat noted musical composer,
Mrs. Marie Greer Mcdonald, who it
seems used her unfortunate marital
experience as spur to her musical
genius. and under the inspiriting in.
fluence of divorce proceedings she
wrote her masterpieces :" Last Links"
absent but not Forgotten" and
"The Last Appeal" Who can scout
the idea, after this, that the dying
swan gives forth her sweetest notes as
she yields up the breath of life? But,
the saddest part of Mrs. McDonald'a
sad experience is that she lost her
husband through the malign influence
of sisters of convent. Her husband,
. teacher of music, had the misfor.
tune to be handsome, and it was to
the too marked attentions he received
from the holy women that she attrib.
utes all the trouble that led to fam.
lily wreck.

8. Morrow, then the controller oil
Pittsburg, as to the best way OF going

pital for the workingmen hurt in the

May We Lengthen Life I?

What fool Ponce de Leon was to
attempt the discovery of the elixir OF
life in a fountain OF bubbling water,
when psychology should have taught
him that nothing short OF some appli-
cation to the blood corpuscles, the
rlNer OF life, would he of any effect.
Prof. Jacques Loeb (why is it that
these scientific discoveries all have
such outlandish names?) of the Uni
versity OF Chicago, has announced
through the American Society of
Psychologists, that he has discovered,
in potassium cyanide, the great mys-
terry of prolongation of life. He has
tried it on the unfertilized eggs OF the
sea urchin and starfish. The egg nat
urally dies at once, unless fertilized.
Enzymic action, or sort of fermen-
tation, seems to be responsible for this
mortiferous process. Loeb's theory is
that death is not due to disintegratiOn
o! a live cell, but is an active process
which starts with the first appearance
OF life in the cell, and which, if not
checked, leads to final humiliation.
In other words, the positive and the
negative, the dual principle which OBJ
tains throughout nature, is as observ-
able in the life germ as anywhere else.
Life implies death, and begins precise
ly at the time when the dormant
powers of nature are brought into
play. To counteract this enzymic &C.
ton would, therefore, be to prolong
life. 1t may seem an impossibility to
permanently suspend such primary
factor OF natural law, but Mr.. Loeb
has certainly accomplished that OBJ
ject temporarily by immersing the
short-lived eggs of these marine oh.
jects in potassium cyanide. He says
Not only was the death process in the
eggs checked, but the solution acted as
preservative of the life of the cell.
That life was thus sustained was proved
when the eggs were removed from the
solution and Matched. l succeeded in
preserving life in this way as long as
seven days.
