THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.

BERKELEY. Cal. November 24.-Bn 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 prob
lem Today he added another to the many
steps already taken in this direction when
he issued an announcement regarding
chemical methods he has employed in ma
turing eggs of a mollusk the Lolita gigan-
tea.
The result OF Prof. IIoeb's experiments
with these eggs OF the mollusk have caused
him to revise theories previously held. The
experiments include the testing of the
effects OF hypertonic sea water upon
mollusk eggs. with a view to determining
how fertilization might be accomplished and
also to determine whether the action OF
the sea water and its effect upon the eggs
are OF physical or q chemical nature
Prof. Loeb formerly believed the action
was Of physical character, but now re-
vises this opinion.

they should. have their case tried before the
commission, and he thought IL better to take
II to the court at once.
Mr.. Foraker referred to other features OF
the bill The first section provides for the
appointment Of expert examiners who. I'M
der the direction Of the interstate commerce
commission, can make an examination at
any time Of all books. documents and pa
pers OF any railroad that relate to interstate
commerce.
This procedure would enable the commits
sion to ascertain the facts and secure evf-
dence.
to prohibit and give up the giving of passes:
Another provision Is simply declaratory OF
the common law rule with respect to rea-
sonable and unreasonable agreements with
respect to restraint of trade.
As to Export and Import Freight.
The bill contains a prohibition OF the car
ryfng OF freight that is to be exported or
freight that has been imported on through
rates less as to the rail portion OF tho
charge than Is exacted for the carrying or
similar domestic commerce between the
same paints. unless the carriage be In ships
of American registry. Senator Foraker
pointed out that the purpose OF these lower
through rates On fmportatfons IL largely
to nullify the tariff duties imposed on such
importation and thus defeat the protection
intended for our manufacturers. The prac-
tice of giving such through rates has grown
out of trade competition and necessities,
and II Is claimed, he said, that Il would be
inadvisable on many accounts to prohibit It,
But. he said. there Is no just reason why
as an Offset to its disadvantages we should
not have compensation In the upbuilding
TO such an extent as IL may contribute
thereto OF an American merchant marine
The provision of his bill II Is believed
will meet this desire to upbuild the Amer
lean merchant marine.
IF this provision be enacted into law"
said Mr.. Foraker, the result will be- not
an abandonment of through rates. but a
demand for American ships, which will be
speedily built and put into commission as
soon as 1t Is seen that business Is certain.
This Will mean American ships not only
for New York and other principal ports
that may already have American lines but
also for every port OF the country where
there may be any business for them.
This provision win not be in conflict
with any of our reciprocal treaties, and II
Is not without precedent, for practically
the same kind OF measures have been re-
sorted to by both Russia and Germany, and
probably also BY other countries"
