ceptance of a franchise on the terms
agreed upon with the commission the
company will proceed, with all reason
able speed. to cause the extension of its
gas mains to be made to st. Anthony
Park, and reasonable service to be
given to that district.
If the foregoing arrangement is con-
Cured in by the common council the
people of the city will be insured of a
very material reduction in the price of
gas on the first day of January, 1904,
and thereafter a further reduction
every year until Jan. 1. 1907, when the
public will be assured of the reasonable
rate of 81 per thousand cubic feet
While the public will be securing gas
at this figure the company will, in
effect, be receiving on Jan. 1, 1907 only
ninety-f1Ye cents per thousand, as the
payment of per cent gross earnings
fee, which commences at that time. is
equivalent to further reduction of
five cents per thousand.
From the Investigations which the
commission has made of the prices at
which gas is sold in other cities, and
taking into considerati ton the condi-
'tions which prevail in st. Paul bearing
upon the cost of manufacturing and
distributing gas, the commission be-
lieves that the foregoing schedule Of
rates is fair to the public and the COM
pany.
.5 City to Fix Rate.
It should also be borne in mind that
after Jan. 1, 1907. the common council
will have the right to require the COM
pany to furnish gas at even a lower
rate than 81 per thousand, if conditions
at that time will justify the imposition
of a lower rate.
The commission accordingly recon-
mends to the common council that an
ordinance be passed granting to the
st. Paul Gas Light company a fran
chise upon the terms aforesaid, and
that a standard as to quality of gas so

held 1t. His problem then became the
finding of something which would artifi-
cially check the death process in the egg
He selected potassium cyanide. the most
deadly poison known.
He selected this as a promising agent be-
cause potassium cyanide has long been
known as thing which checks life phe-
nomena without destroying at all the struc-
ture of cells. In other words. this deadly
poison was found capable of putting the
eggs OF sea urchin to sleep for a period
of seven days.
Professor Loeb then advanced a step In
his reasoning ard reached the startling
conclusion. which he stated before the
Physiological Society. that on 4 minute
scale life carries with it the germ OF i'm
mortality.
II death Is a cessation of action merely,
he said. II is curious fact that the most
deadly poison-potassium cyanide-failed

delayed the awesome phenomena OF death.
FUNDAMENTAL PROCESS.
Professor Loeb decided that what the
potassium cyanide really did was to check
a mortal process going on IN the egg and
inherent in the very nature of it.
IL has come to be fundamental prin-
ciple of science that what is true OF tbs

stun the eggs'were placed in ordinary sea
water again. and finally sperm was added
to see whether they would become fertiiz-
ed. Some OF them could be fortified after
having been in the poisoned solution from
80 to 100 hours. Eggs taken out after 1ss
hours were still alive. but could moi be made
to develop beyond the eighth-cell stage.
DECAY WAS RETARDED.
Experiments also. made with the eggs
OF star fish resulted in retarding the proc
ess OF decay in these well as in the eggs
of the sea urchin by the use of potassium
cyanide"
Thus 1t will be seen from his own words
that Professor Loeb has discovered that
IL the unfertilized eggs OF a sea unchin are
taken from the mother and placed In salt
water they will die in a short time while
on the other hand. IL fertilized they will
develop and become full-hedged sea-ur-
ch'ns.. such as are photogr2 hically shown
on this page.
From this Professor Loeb drew the con-
clusion that the egg. which Is as much
alive as living. breathing animal. has going
on within it from its Very birth death
process and life process.

do all the teaching in his department.
His theory Is that death Ia born with
life itself It Is coexistent with life. II is
as much an actually as life. but most cRu-
tiously wrapped up In scientific phrases is
the intimation that death may be scientific
ally proved to be another birth into another
life-a mere episode In an endless succession
of transformations.
But having determined what II was that
the poisonous potassium cyanide had done
for the sea-urchin egg, namely. defeated
the death process within it. Professor Loeb
was brought to the question Of how the
cyanide Of potassium had delayed death
and why 1t delayed death.
This led him to the conclusions expressed
in later paper upon the relation between
electricity and life.
Electricity thus becomes the basis of
life Properly understood. 1t may some time
offer to man the means OF prolongirg life
