SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM SOLVED
Generation of Life by Artificial Means.

Prof. ]. Butler Burke, a Cambridge
university professor, recently an
nounced that he had demonstrated the
possibility Of spontaneous generation.
BY means Of radium and sterilized
boullon together in test tube, he
claimed to have obtained cultures pre-
senting many appearances OF vitality,
such as growth and subdivision. Prof.
Burke conducted experiments for six
years in the Cavendish laboratory,
with Prof Thomson.
These experiments, together with
those Of Prof Loeb OF San Francisco,
in the opinion OF many scientists,
have done much to solve the Oldest
scientific problem in the world-the
generation OF life by artificial means.
Loeb, some months ago, startled the
scientific world by actually fertiiiz-
ing the eggs Of sea urchin and thus
generating life artifcially. Now he
declares to have made another import
ant step toward an explanatian Of
the process Of reproduction in animal
life. He claims to have found a rea-
son for the appearance Of the "fertili-
zation membrane" which becomes
visible around the sea urchin and star

PrInoe Answered. HIs own Letter.

Frederic 0. Prince, at one time
mayor of Boston, told how once he
answered his own letter. When Win
chester was incorporated as a town,
in 1850, it was named for Col Win
chester, who was a resident there.
Wishing to show his appreciation Of
the honor, he decided to make the
town present Of $4,000, and called on
Mr. Prince, then a neighbor of his,
and asked him to write a suitable let
ter to accompany the gift.
After the selectmen had received
the check inclosed in the letter then
came the duty of replying. This they
did not feel quite competent to do, so
they, in turn, called upon Mr.. Prince
and, showing him Col Winchester's
letter (Which Prince himself had writ
ten), asked him to write reply.
In his usual quiet manner, but with
laugh up his sleeve, he consented to
do it, and thus answered his own let
ter.

formed. Their development, however,
was abnormally slow and imperfect.
The facts pointed to the inevitable
conclusion that the membrane forma-
ton. or the process underlying it, was
a necessary accompaniment of nor
NAL development, the membrane itself
merely resulting as mechanical con-
sequence of the extrasion of its sub
stance from the egg. 1t appeared to
contain a substance which when in
the egg prevented its development.
DR.. Loeb found that the presence
of oxygen kills unfertilized eggs, but
develops those which have been fer
tilted. The entrance Of the active
element into the egg in normal fer
tilization obviously produces a pro
found change in its internal affairs.
Oxidation after fe ization leads to
the formation of different chemical
products from those formed in the un-
fertilized but mature egg.
All facts at present indicate that
this change is not due to the mere ad-
dition of new chemical substance,
but to the fact that this additional
substance drives out another.

fish after they have been penetrated
by the active element.
Prof. Loeb, when he began his in
yestigations on sea urchin eggs, real
lied that one constant accompaniment
of its normal development was the for
nation of a delicate, transparent
membrane about the egg. This mem
brane appeared with such rapidly as
to seem literally to jump away from
the egg surface. The space between
the membrane and the egg surface
always was filled with transparent
fluid
Soon after the formation Of the
membrane the egg would divide into
halves, each of which would divide a
little later into two others. The devel-
opment proceeds in this way by sell
division, the process being initiated
by the entrance Of the active ele-
ment.
At the beginning of his attempts to
solve the mystery Of fertilization DR..
Loeb was convinced that he must dis

with great success on the sea urchin
egg in simple fashion. Unfertilized
eggs were treated with a solution Of
acetyc, butryic or other similar acids,
followed usually by solutions Of com
mon salt.
Benzol, amylene and other cnemi-
Gals of this character acted similarly.
Would they produce the membrane on
the starhsh egg also? Since, under
appropriate conditions DR.. LoeD was
able to fertilize sea urchin eggs with
the active elements of starfisL, pro
duclng thereby a hitherto impossible
hybrid, it seemed to him that the lat
ter must carry into the egg sub
stances similar to those carried in
by the active element Of the urchin.
He was not long in showing con-
clusively that the same substances
which produce the fertilization mem
brane artificially in the urchin's egg
act similarly on the starfish egg. In
some cases starfsh eggs would de-
velop when no membrane had been

PARROTS LIVE FOR A CENTURY.
Could Talk as Well as a Man II Edu-
Gated When Young.

Could Talk as Well as a Man II Edu-
Gated When Young.
There is no doubt of the fact that
the parrot is one Of the longest lived
Of all animals. There is a well-au-
thenticated case of grown man who
used to go to see a remarkable talk
ing cockatoo which his grandmother
had personally known when she was a
little girl. So 1t is probably no fairy
story that the birds sometimes sur
vive for century. inasmuch as actual
knowledge of the particular fowl COW
cred something like seventy years.
IN the West Indies and elsewhere in
the tropics parrots are commonly al
lowed to roam at will about house
gardens and at meal times, when they
hear the clatter Of plates they will
walk into the dining-room, climb on
the backs of the chairs and insist up
on their share of whatever there is to
eat.
1t seems odd, when one comes to
think of it. that birds should be the
only animals that can talk. There are
other speaking birds besides parrots,
Of course, such as the crow, for exam
pie, but parrots are decidedly the
most capable conversationalists. So
excellent is the vocal organ with
which a parrot is provided that if it
only had the requisite brains It could
talk almost as well as a man. Doubt
less the most intelligent parrots are
the best speakers, other things being
equal, but, as already suggested, no
parrot, however clever, can become
first-rate talker unless its education
has been begun early in life.
