Scientific Claims.

Men Of science make many claims
a scientist surely, and yet his state
ments in frequent instances have
been as ridiculous as the inlaginings
of a fairy tale. Others have asserted
that the span Of human existence
might be prolonged Indefinitely, but
without exception they have died in
the regulation term. Flammarion
holds high rank as an astronomer,
and yet some OF his work bears the
mark of the eharlatan.
Prof. Loeb, of California, AYERS that
he has created, by the use Of chemi-
Gals. a low but specific form of life
It would be rasn for the lay observer
to say that he has not done this, but
it is not rash TO remark that the lay
observer does not believe that he has
done it, that he can do it, or ever
will be able TO do it.
The generation of life, albeit the
process is in some measure under
stood, remains a mystery. It Is true
that life appears in various sub
stances. y barrel of rain water, pure
and apparently isolated from all con-
tamination, quickly becomes the habi-
tat OF visible entities. In a piece OF
cheese the mites" multiply to count
less thousands. The element that Is
responsible for the change was latent
IN the substance all the time.
1t is possible that Prof. Loeb has
been able TO accelerate, through the
means OF Fastening the arrival of in
evitable conditions, the manifesto
/ tiong Of life where no life had seemed
/ to be. Even If he has done this he
1 has not won the title Of creator.
Still the belief exists that life o1
every variety springs from one
I source, and this source has not beer
defined, nor deprived of its preroga
/ tive.
