More daring still is the ambition Of an
other school of naturalists-to artificially
propagate life. and not merely to improve
it, Already the pioneers in this branch
Of experimentation claim to be able to
fertilize eggs of such species as the sea
urchin by purely artificial chemical soiu-
tiOns and entirely independent OF the
male species. America so far claims the
honors in this great work. whose fore
most exponent is Prof Jacques Loeb OF
the University of California. The re-
search is being extended TO higher forms.

their ambition to entirely exterminate the

world without the help hindrance OF

Then there are those who are now
harder at work than ever upon the
problem that is older than all OF these

Such are the deep problems that vex q

1t might be found. The young comman-
dant Of the destroyer thoroughly entered
into the fun of the thing. and there en-
sued a chase of the missing yacht that

The destroyer was driven at full speed

ranean speaking every vessel ii met for
news of the royal yacht. At length il
was discovered off the coast Of Greece.

the messenger and the commandant OF
