DRY DOCKS VOYAGE WILL
BE A REMARKABLE TRIP
BIG STRUCTURE TO BE ToWED
TO MANILA BAY
Three Immense Golfers to Conduct 1t
on Its $4,000 Mile Journey-Will
Garry Grew of Machinists, EIec-
tricians and Sailors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-J. d.
Wood, a tug master of Norfolk, has
just signed q contract with the navy
department to go out to Manila on
the I'D. d. Dewey" on one of the most
remarkable cruises of modern times.
The I'D. d. Dewey means the big
steel floating dry dock now at Solo
mons Island, in Chesapeake bay,
which is destined to dock the largest
ships of the American naval force in
the Far East, if this great structure
can ever be successfully piloted
through the $4,000 miles lying between
Chesapeake bay and Manila bay. Mr..
Wood is to live aboard the dock dur
ing the voyage. There Is permanent
crew of eight machinists, engineers
sailors and electricians and firemen,
and these people are to remain at
tached to the dock at Manila.
On the voyage across they will be re-
inforced by % sailors who will be dis
charged when they reach Manila.
This comparatively large crew is
needed for the purpose of handling
the towing lines and operating the
pumps and electrical contrivances that
keep the dock dry. They cannot steer
the great hulk, for no constructor has
been able to devise rudder big
enough to shape a course for the deck
which could be safely attached ana
operated. So the dock is to be held
on its course solely by the towing pow
er of the three great colliers, Glacier
Caesar and Brutus the whole under
the command of Captain Aullam, U.
S. N. Each of the colliers will have
its own wireless plant. The towing
line will be mile and a half long,
length regarded as necessary to
guard against sharp strains in a
heavy sea, and even with this great
towing line bits with pneumatic eush-
ions have been placed on the colliers
to reduce the chance of breaking
cables ,the largest steel ropes in the
world outside OF some of the great
suspension bridges.
Competent naval officers believe that
the Dewey can be towed at the rate
of about 100 miles a day. and allow
about three or four months for the
trip via the Suez canal.

ANOTHER STEP BY LOEB
Adds to His Many Discoveries Regard
ing the Origin of
Life
BY Associated Press.

BERKELEY, Nov. 24.-Bit by bit
Prof. jacques Loeb, the scientist, is
completing the set of experiments into
the secret of the origin of life that it
is hoped will eventually make clear
the life problem. Today he added an
other to the many steps already taken
in this direction when he issued an an
nouncement regarding chemical meth
DDS he has employed in maturing
eggs of a mollusk, the lottia gigantea.
The result Of Prof. Loeb's expert
ments with these eggs of the mollusk
have caused him to revise theories pre-
Viously held. The experiments include
the testing of the effects of hypertonic
sea water upon mollusk eggs, with
view to determining how Fertilization
might be accomplished and also to de-
termine whether the action of the sea
water and it's effect upon the eggs are
of a physical or a chemical nature.
Prof. Loeb formerly believed the ac-
tion was of a physical character, but
now revises this opinion.
