CREATESARTIFICIALL LIFE
Professor jacques Loeb Announces He
Has Been Successful in His
Experiments,

San Francisco. May 24.-Prof. JAG
which he sums his final experiments in
the process of fertiliZing the eggs of
sea urChins so that they cannot be dis
tinguished under the microscope from
naturally fertiliZed eggs. His latest
work has been to form the membrane
in the eggs III the same order that it
Is formed In real life.
Under natural fertilization this men,
brane is formed Immediately after
spefmatozoon enters. The method Of
procedure is to treat the eggs with q
solution of fatty acid-acetic. propionic,
butyric, or valerianic, mixed with fifty
centigrams of sea water. The eggs
remain In this solution for from one-
half to n a half minutes.
When transferred back to sea water
they form a membrane which cannot
be distinguished from that of fertiliza-
ton. The egg remain in normal sea
water for five or ten minutes and are
then put into a mixture of sea water
and a salt solution for from twenty to
fifty minutes. When taken out and
placed in normal sea water again the
formation of micromereS occurs as in
normally fortified eggs, and the rate
of augmentation and development Is
precisely the same.
The blastula cavity forms In these
eggs as early n in the same way as
in fertilized eggs, and hlastulae begin
to swim n rise to the surface as
early as those developing from fertil-
lied eggs. When the larvae, which
rise to the surface, are collected and
kept in a watch glass 1t is difficult to
distinguish them from the larvae pro-
duced from fertilized eggs.
Thus Prof. Loeb has exactly dupli-
Gated natural processes in creation of
life in sea urchins.

ing Machine company about three years

About three months ago, Mr.. Langh-
ran. the supervising agent for North

Of Franklin and came from Aberdeen
to Mitchell to check him up, and
learned from the clerk IN charge of the
Office rooms in this city that Franklin
had been absent about three weeks.
Mr.. Langhran then started a tracer
around the country after him and he
soon found hat hundreds of people
who had bought the Singer sewing ma
chimes from Franklin on the install
inent plan had recently been visited
and big discounts made to them If they
would pay up the alliance due on the
machine, taking the company's receipt.
In this way he became convinced that
Franklin collected several thousand
dollars and ~nbsconded with 1t.
Nothing was learned of him for sew
erul weeks, but finally the agents of the
company traced him to Idaho. 1t was
then only a short time until they had
the authorities of that state place him
under arrest and the governor of South
Dakota was asked to make n requisi-
ton on the governor Of Idaho for the
said j. r. Franklin.
On Monday, May 10. Sheriff A. c.

this city on his return trip with Frank
lin next Saturday, when he will be

with embezZling several thousand dol
lars.
