SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY.
Prof. Loeb's Discovery "A First Step to
knowledge of Life.
Harper's Weekly.


A year or so ago that marvellously in
genious investigator, Jaques Loeb, of the
University of Chicago, brought forward ex-
perimental proof Of the vital influence in
life phenomena of those solutions of salts
and acids which conduct and likewise give
rise to electricity. With sea water of
varying strength, he was able to bring
about artificial fertilization. Eggs that
had known no contact with the male cells
developed into normal living beings. Bio
logical theories of half a century went
down in a day. Then Professor Albert r.
Matthews, a protege of the excellent Pro-
fessor Wilson, of Columbia, and now pro-
fessor of physiological chemistry in the
same university with Professor Loeb, took
up these fecund ideas. He applied them
to the phenomena Of nervous action, show
ing how this mysterious and battling of
puzzles might be simply and clearly eX-
planned by electrical action. The nerves
are jelly-like solutions of highly phos-
phorized fatty bodies, enclosed in a thin
n~onconducting sheath. The albuminous
bodies inside are charged with positive
electricity, and these charges give rise
surrounding water. A slight jar, beat, a
flash of light, the presence OF a new supply
Of food materials. may break this delicate
equilibrium; the nerve current travelling
to and from the brain is the result.
Like Darwin's formula of the struggle for
existence. ii seems too simple TO be true.
As in the case of Darwin, Professor Loeb
was the first 10 acclaim the brilliant dis
covery Of his young colleague. He has cut
the ground from under my feet" said Pro-
fessor Loeb. These were generous words.
But IL in no wise belittles Professor Mat
thews's achievement TO recall that both the
theory and the method belong TO the older
man. His own remark was that they
brought into physiology "a new heaven and
a new earth
Professor Loeb's discovery OF his year,
the second of those which will make the
Chicago meeting memorable, was the appli-
cation of the same theory of electrical
charges TO questions OF life and death. The
fresh spawn of sea urchins, unfertilized. die
i'm a few hours. Professor Loeb put them
in a cyanide solution. and kept them for
seven days. This may be called the first
step in the scientific search for immortal
life. Still another paper from this same un-
wearied investigator sought TO prove that
the vital energy supplied by food is due to
the electricity 1t affords, rather than to
the heat it develops. as present-day physi-
ology holds; in brief. that all life actions
are OF an electro-dynamical nature.
These are giant strides; yet the nave still
larger significance They are the early
fruits of the broad and stimulating spirit
which reigns in President Harper's new
institution. They should teach our older
universities that the outworn and sterile
ways must go. Counting the unstinted
millions which America has given to its
seats OF learning, the harvest should be
richer than IL is.

the Girl Who Had Acquired Dig
nifty Did Not Marry.
Buffalo Express.

She was tail and fair with fashionable
hair, her hands were slender and white,
and there could be no criticism Of her we'll
kept nails and languid repose of manner.
There were those who could remember
when these things were not so-the time
when she was grimy of hand, when her
hair stuck out in bristly red frizzes and
her ill-1tting gown resembled in fabric a
multi-colored patchwork quilt embroidered
in tinsel.
But why rake up these embarrassing
memories of ten years ago. when she had
stood at the notion counter and yelled
Cash." N a corrugated tone of voice that
sent shivers down the spinal column Of
every one within hearing distance? For
she was essentially a product of modern
civilization, and the great department store
had taught her many things. Contact with
the world had brought dignity and ease and
grace, and there was no fault TO be found
with the care which she gave to that de-
partment of the great store which was
given over to her. For she was the head Of
a department nova triumph over many
difficulties. She had fought the fight that
comes TO all dependent uleducated women,
and she had won.
The homage which she felt was hers by
right was given In full measure, and by no
one more generously or more ardently than
the head of the silk department. He was an
immaculate youth, attired in clothing Of a
fashionable cut, we'll up in the small gossip
of the day. and his admiration was so sin
cere that II seemed to form a little circle
about the girl. as would a halo of rose
colored light. and brighten all of her life.
He escorted her TO the theater, walked with
her In the park. p~rOmenaded the avenue
with her and devoted himself to her with
devotion we'll calculated to win any woman
from sixteen TO sixty, regardless Of race,
color or social status.
But ne didn't win the girl, and it was all
because she was civilized with the civiliza-
ton of cities. She figured IL all out with a
precision that would sour the milk of hu-
man kindness in the breast'of Cupid him
self.
II was better. according to the deductions
which she made. to find sos in her own en-
velope every Saturday night than TO take
chances on an equal division of &5 after
household expenses had been paid. She
doubted very much whether she could az
ford a servant out of an income of S35 a
week, and she hated dishwashing a little
more than she hated anything else in the
world. for she had plenty of experience in
that line at an age when most girls are Civ
ing tea parties for dollies. One of her boasts
was that she had not made her own bed In

ten years, and she devoutly hoped she
would never have TO make 1t again. The
fact that her father and mother had started
housekeeping on Sc q week and were happy
was no argument with her. The argument
that won was an embarrassing memory
that she blushed even to recall-memory Of
a dOwdy little figure in multi-colored gown
embroidered In tinsel, a shock of artIfcially
curled hair, a pair Of griny hands, a voice
loud and discordant and manners rude and
coarse.
For I might die as mother died. she
told herself. and my daughter might be
brought W without care and affection, and
she might be badly bred-as l was-and
maybe she couldn't fight life's battles as
we'll"
But she only told the young man mo, >
and ne denounced her as did all her shop
bridesmaids, or at least on wedding invita-
tions.
