PROF. JACQUES LOEB.

lists Of the Day.
HIS study of the Chemistry of Life
Has AstOnished the WOrId-May
Leave Chicago ana Go to
California.

DR.. jacques Loeb, professor of exs
sity of Chicago, is now at San Fran
cisco, where ne mas gone To pursue
his researches. lie is the guest OF
President Wheeler, of the University
of California, and there are rumors
that great efforts will be made to
induce him 10 accept chair at Ber-
kelley.
President Harper was greatly dis
turbed when his scientist received q
call to the University of California
a few months ago, and feared that
Dr.. Loeb would go to the Pacific
coast 10 remain. DR.. Loeb was Of
fered a magnificent sea aquarium il
he would go to California
This sea aquarium has been one OF
the facilities for his study that DIR.
Loeb has wanted for long time, and
he was much impressed by the Cali
fornia offer. The scientist has not
been able to secure as many animals
on which to experiment at the uni.
versity as he has wished.
President Harper felt that he could
not lose has studious professor, there
fore he has persuaded a friend of the
university TO build and endow a fine
sea aquarium where DR.. Loeb can
grow all the jelly fish, sea urchins
and other salt water inhabitants that
he wishes.
\ little more than a year ago, says
the Philadelphia Press, DR.. Loeb
came prominently into public notice.
when he demonstrated that it was
possible by artificial processes to
produce life, or living beings.

tive Of Germany. Early in his career

sides being a personal friend Of the
President Mr.. West has been strongly
backed and urged by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. Several years ago
Senator Lodge urged President Nc
kinley TO appoint Mr.. West as a Com
missioner of the District.
The fight that has just ended in the
appointment of Mr.. West has been
long one lasting from the death Of Mr..
Ross, IN IulV. There have been varying
phases TO the contest, but throughout
Mr.. West has been the most prominent
candidate and the one closest at all
times to appointment. In other words
he has been the personal choice of the
President, whose effort throughout has
been to find way 10 appoint his favor
lie.
a large number of candidates have
been Urged more or less vigorously at
different times and the fight has been
lively, although conducted throughout
with little or no personal bitterness.
The New Commissioner.
Henry Litchfeld West is known as
magazine writer of reputation, stu
dent of national politics, newspaper
man of pronounced ability and a pub
lic-spirited citizen. As a contributor
to the magazines he has become one
of the editorial staff of the Forum. AS
a writer on politics he has reported
fourteen national political conventions
written numerous essays on various
phases of political controversy and
earned a reputation for his picturesque
reports of political meetings and the
proceedings of Congress. He is prac-
tically product of District of Colum-
bia institutions. His en-, rgies have
been devoted almost exclusively to
newspaper work.
His father was Robert Wet, editor
in-chief of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, which accounts for the
birth of Henry LitChfield. at Staten
Island, n. Y. August, 20, 1859. During
the war of the rebellion, probably 1868.
Mr.. K. A. West came to Wash ngtOn
TO become an editorial writer on For
ney's Chronicle then the leading dai
ly paper of the capital.
Mr.. West Sworn In.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. West was
sworn in as District Commissioner.
There were several distinguished peo-
Die present to welcome Mr.. West. At
three O'Clock Mr.. West arrived. accom-
panied by Major Sylve ter, and enter
ed the board room, where were assem-
bled the heads of the several depts.,
including DR.. L. E. Johnson, Coils. P.

DR.. William TindAll the secretary of

the best known men in the United
States, administered to Mr.. west the
oath Of office. Com. Mcfarland stood

him TO those who passed in front of
him TO offer their congratulations.

he was led TO the study Of biology,
Beginning in Strassburg and Nurz~
burg, DR.. Loeb worked ZealOusly,
About nine or ten years ago he left
his native country and went to Bryn
Mawr, and eight years ago joined the
faculty of the University Of Chicago,
In this institution the professor has
been associated with the Hull Physi-
ology laboratory, in which he has
made some wonderful advances in
scientific knowledge. He is a physi~
clan as well as a physiologist.
Early in his researches, he says
he concluded that forces Of nature
obtaining in living things are the
same as those which govern inani-
mate objects. With such a belief he
felt impelled TO take life in his hands
and play with it, to direct it at wills
as if a man were master Of II.
At the outset DR.. Loeb inquired.
Why does a moth fly 10 the ightt
A flower turn toward the sunshinec
| So much NAV suffice for an illustra~
ton. but there were innumerable
other questions presented 10 him as
a result of observation Of phenom-
ena. A rule Of action was seen in
each and every one, and DR.. Loeb
was led to believe that the same
forces lie behind the rule in the an
innate and inanimate orders. These
were mere preliminary steps. They
led to experiments with the lower
forms of animal life, which are diff
cult of classification as animal or
plant. He made an incision in one
of them, and moth made its ap~
Dearance with tentacles. which took
in food, but rejected bits Of paper.
Experimenting with a jellyfsh. he
cut away the upper portion, and the
fish ceased moving. Placing il upon.
common salt the body resumed it's
characteristic movements as if life
were returned. A trace OF potassium
stopped the movements.
Studies on the effects Of salts upon'
life phenomena followed, and infer
tilted eggs treated with a solution
of chloride Of magnesium developed
life. 1t is well known that unfertil--
lied eggs very soon decay. hence they
cannot be termed living matter,
They are. therefore, simply organic
matter. which, when treated chemi-
caliy, as discovered by Prof. Loeb.
can be developed into living organ

Rev. Peyton Randolph, colored, sue
cessor to the late John Jasper, preached
a sermon last night in his church, in
which he counseled his members not
to contribute a penny to the fund that
is being raised to test the new state
constitution. He advised the negroes
that their best friends were the whites
among whom they lived, and that the
new suffrage laws would eventually
work TO the good If the negro. He
held that no relief could be expected
from Washington, and that negroes
had best save their money and work
out their salvation by education, Sc
curing property and correctly demean-
ing themselves.

Denver Growing Fast.

Denver, June 4-Denver's popula-
tion has increased nearly 20, 600 since
the national census was completed un-
der the auspices of Uncle Sam about
two years ago. This statement is
proven by the directory for the pres
ent year, which has just been issued
from the printers. In 1900 the census
takers found 1873, 800 persons and the
directory contained n ,196 names or
one name for each l.8S persons. In
1901 the directory had 76, $50 names
and this year so, 932. Using the null
tiple of / sS. found correct two years
ago, the city has population of 1852, .

excess of that figure, but it is assured
