LIFE GERM QUEST
FEASIBLE, SAYS LOEB

BERKELEY, Cal, Oct 3.-Prof.
jacques Loeb. the famous biologist Of
the University OF California, in a bulle-
tin issued from the Office Of the presi-
dent. makes the statement that he be-
lievss the germ OF life can be dis
COZ cred, provided the chemical reactions
surrounding the process of fertilization
are investigated.
The announcement OF Prof Loeb has
been received with great interest by the
university men OF science as distinct
step in the discovery OF the production
of living matter from the inanimate.
The university savant takes the stand
that all that difterentlares living matter
from the machines which he has pro-
dueed in the laboratory is the power OF
ne animate objects developing and re-
producing themselves automatically
All that is necessary therefore, he de-
clares. IS for the scientist to discover
The chemical process which causes the
development of the egg into the embryo.

QUAKE
LASTING AN HOUR
IS RECORDED HERE
Believed by Weather
Bureau That Origin Is
Near the AntipodeS.

1t was announced today that another
earthquake of considerable intensity
was recorded on the seismograph at the
Weather Bureau beginning at about II
O'Clock last night and lasting for two
hours or more. Chief Willis L. Moore
says.
I'VE conclude from the records that
the origin of this earthquake was al
an unusually great distance fror Wash
ingtOn- While the amount Of movement
recorded here Is relatively very small
only about one One-hundredth of an
inch, the duration of the so-CalIed
Strong motion was very great. about
one hour, and it would appear that the
earthquake must have been of consider
aOle Intensity at the origin.
1T is believed the origin of this earth
quake is very different from those re-
corded On October 10 and AZ, and maE
perhaps be near the antiDodes of
Washington, which is point west Of
Australia, in the southern Indian
ocean"
