California Biologist Tells Scientists Of
His Successful Efforts TO Gen

and MoIlusks.

BOston..-Prof. Jacques Loeb OF Cal.
ifornia, the most talked'ui biologist In
America because OF his experiments
in creating life by artificial means, ad
dressed the geological congress the
other day. Though his address was
primarily intended for the section of
! the congress engaged in physiological
studies, It was necessary to suspend
all other sections that their members
might hear Prof Loeb.
Dr. Loeb traced his more recent
studies In this interesting field Of zonl-
ogy. It was IN the fan Of 1900 that
| he first came into prominence, after a
years work at the marine biological
| laboratories at Woods Hole, where he
had been working on an artificial FER
| tilization of the eggs of sea urchins.
| Since that time he has been constant
| ly before the public.
AT that time his experiments wGo
hailed as modern miracles. lie found
that by contact with simple solution
Of salt the eggs Of sea urchins could
| be developed into life without any
touch of the sperm cell. Earlier in
his career, when experimenting on
| ielyfish, Or. Loeb learned that Il de
Capitated iellyfish could be restored 10
life by immersion In a salt solution,
which led him to believe an electrical
current had been set up and that the
underlying cause Of vital action must
be electricity
| hg
views had been modified and his meth
DDS perfected He now thinks that
oxygen Is the all-important factor in
the fertilization of the oya. Modern
teachers of physiology no longer hold
that oxidation is for the purpose Of
producing heat, for oxidation occurs
in animals and plants that do not
need to keep up a constant tempera'
ture.
Whatever the fertilization material
is it must be something nearly the
same with the eggs Of all species
otherwise II would not be understood
why animals, widely separated in nab
Its and structure, as orinoids and mol
lusks, should be able to iertiliZe the
eggs Of the star fish.
DR.. Loeb formerly treated the eggs
with what he terms "hypertonic" set
water, or sea water where osmotic
pressure has been raised a definite
amount. But he now finds that hC
obtains better results by the introduc
, ton of so-called fatty acid, becaus,
a combination of the two methods
tends to the development Of more
normal creature. Marine worms, sta
fishes and mollusks have been gen
, Grated in this way. He modestly con
cluded; 1T Is obvious that we ar,
/, now in possession of method tina
, allows us to initiate more completed,
the action of the sperm cell than eve
did the previous method with hyper
