m the stage of the worlds activi-

IN the stage of the worlds activi-
ties the spotlight of discovery
has thrown into vivid prom
inence the personality of Prof. ]. But
Ter Burke of Cambridge university,
England, and his spectacular expert
ments in the spontaneous generation
of life by means of radium.
The result of Prof. Burke's re-
searches is of particularly vital inter-
est following within the month the
statements of Sir oliver Lodge to the
effect that the earth may not neces-
sarily have generated the life upon 1t
any more than it generated all the
gases of it's atmosphere or the meteoric
dust which lies upon its SHOWS
However this may be, chemists and
biologists have never wearied In build
ing up the material molecular aggre-
gate" by which life can be spontane-
ously developed, and many have been
the methods for producing the desired
but elusive result. How differently the
minds of even scientific men view this
incorporated thing and how varied the
modes for attaining it are graphically
illustrated in the research work of Prof.
jacques Loeb, DIR. Charles Littlefield
and Prof. Burke.
Thus Prof. Loeb in his biological ex-
periments which mad for their ultimate
object the solution of the problem,
What is life? did not begin at the bot
tom and build up from inanimate mat
ter living cell, but rather sought the
secret of life by process of elimination,
and this led to his now famous arti-
fetal fertilization of the eggs of the
sea urchin.
In the Investigations of DIR. Little
field however, microscopic indications
of life were obtained in a combination
of simple elementary substances, and
when these were compounded in GER
tain proportions the living organisms
sprang into existence by chemical ac-
tion, provided the environments were
favorable The success or failure of
these trials depends, of course, on
whether or not adequate precautions
be taken to exclude every vestige Of
antecedent life.
Sir Oliver Lodge, in his recent dis
oussion, pointed out that the expert
ments of Tyndall, Huxley and other
able workers who tried to obtain life
without preceding life may have failed
because they employed heat to kill
all existing germs. 1t is possible that
the latent life principle was destroyed
at the same time, just as a steel mag
net If heated to a high enough tenn
perature will lose its stored up energy.

the silver poplar tree.
On the sumac all the berries show
pledge of future flame,
And the oaks will soon be blushing

And the goldenrod is blooming mld

The very fact that Littlefeld and
others have succeeded in obtaining life
has melted the critics to insinuate
that the sterilization process was not
carried far enough or was not per-
formed with sufficient care. To ex-
clude these objections Prof Burke
tried several substances, among them
cyanic acid, but until he employed
radium the tests were unsuccessful.
BY Radioactivity
Radioactivity is the connecting me-
dIum, according to his hypothesis, be-
tween the organic and inorganic world.
or those which POSSESS life and those
which do not and never did. Radium
is an inorganic substance yet it disin-
tegrates and decays like organic mat
ter, and since it may be subjected TO a
comparatively intense heat without los
ing it's radioactive properties, the BIZ
ologist concluded that it was the long
sought for element which generated life
when the earth was in the process Of
cooling down.
DIR. Loeb began his Investigations
by utilizing sea urchins' eggs, for it
had been previously observed that cell
division in the egg could be started by
immersing it in concentrated sea water.
BY varying the strength of the sea
the otherwise unfertilized eggs to de-
velop to such an extent that they not
infrequently got past the first stage
and then changed into larvae that had
the power of spontaneous motion and
could swim about. In this simple state
ment lies a deal of the fame of Dr.
Jacques Loeb, but, considering how it
was brought about by substituting
artifice for nature, it will be seen how
really remarkable the process was.
Biogenesis that is, the generation of
life from living things only, and
abiogenesis or the production of living
from non living matter, seem unalter-
ably opposed to each other. and to be-
lieve the doctrine of the one would
mean apparently to refute the other.
Professor Burke and DIR. Littlefield
are among those who favor the abio-
genetic hypothesis of life, and while
these two investigators have begun at
the opposite end of the spectrum of
life from that chosen by Professor

dite Loeb he employed only a few

with unfertilized life and assisting it
to develop, he begins with inert matter
