LAPsEs INTO INFANCY.
Girl OF Nineteen Like Baby o
Eighteen Months.

Giri OF Nineteen Like Baby of
Eighteen M0nths.
MORRISTOWN. n. j., Sept. ia
remarkable case Of mental relapse Is
that OF Miss Mary Scally, the nine
year-old daughter of Patrick Seal
ly of MacCulloeh avenue, this city. A
few days ago she was like any other
young woman of her age, bright, ac-
tive and enjoying good health. Today
she Is like baby of eighteen months,
hardly able TO walk and approaching
absolutely nothing of what goes on
around her.
This Is not her first experience of
the kind. Twice before she has had
these periods Of relapse to infancy,
and her case is a puzzle to physicians
and especially TO DR.. A. Henriques,
the physician in attendance on her.
That Miss Scally is not of weak in
tellect is shown by the fact that she
was graduated from the parochial
school Of st. Mary's church here and
was one of the brightest members of
her class. She had one attack Of this
kind before being graduated from
school, but as she soon recovered from
that it was thought to be some strange
illness due to oyerstudy
An expert in nervous diseases will be
asked to consult in the case

NEW DISCOVERY BY LOEB.
Another Step Made In His Work OF
Producing Life.

Another Step Made In His Work of
Producing Life.
CHICAGO, Sept. ia dispatch from
San Francisco says Professor Jacques
Loeb of the University of California
has just made public another step in
his work of producing life by arti-
fetal methods.
He has found a reason for the APP
pearance of the fertilization membrane
which appears around the sea urchin
and starfish eggs after they have been
penetrated by the active element. He
announces that fertilization of the
eggs is accomplished by the active
elements driving out some substance
in the eggs which prevents fertiliza-
ton.
Professor Loeb found that the mem
brane is the result of extersion of sub
stances from the egg which lifts it up
from the surface. This makes up the
fluid lying between the egg and the
membrane and appears to contain sub
stances which when in the egg prevent
its development. 1t follows that any
chemical which drives out these sub
stances will release the vital mechan.
ism and produce artificial life.

SECRET CLAUSES IN TREATY.
Certain Features of Anglo-Japancss
Alliance Not to he Made Public.


PARIS, Sept. 15.--It is the present
intention to postpone making public
the text OF the new treaty between
Great Britain and Japan. The officials
here were advised that the first plan
was TO make IL public in London and
Tokyo last Monday, but the japanese
asked for further time probably on ac>
count OF the internal disorders, and II
was therefore arranged to let the pub
lication go over for a month. when II
Is expected the texts Of the treaty OF
alliance and of the Portsmouth treaty
will be officially communicated to the
public at the same time. as the two
documents are expected to counterbal-
ance each other with the japanese
public
1t Is possible, however, that action
by the Japanese diet upon the treaties
may lead to a postponement OF the
publication of their texts beyond =
month.
In the meantime 1t Is said that the
new Anglo-Japanese alliance does not
contain surprises outside OF the main
features summarized In these dispatch
es on Sept. 4 1t is known, neverthe-
less, that the agreement covers secret
clauses known only to the contracting
parties. These will not be made public.
