Mother Ignores Her Offspring and

London.-Maternal care is not every
thing at the Zoo, for Peter Pan, the
baby giraffe, whose mother will not
love him, is thriving on the bottle;
whilst the channels baby, whose moth
er lavished love on him, is dead. :
The baby giraffe, because the au-
thorities when they first saw him
feared he would never grow up, was
called Professionally Peter Pan. and,
when they found that his mother re-
fused to have anything to do with him,
professionally" was omitted from his
name, which then became plain Peter
Pan, for It seemed so certain that he
would never attain mature stature.
And from then his mother. undnti-
full and cold hearted. steadily refused
to have anything to do with him. In
fact. had he been left to her care, he
would be dead now.
But to his rescue came q mere man.
and Peter Pan immediately fell deep

Secret of Life.
Physical Function Of Green Plants Re-
produced-synthesls Made by New
Physics Presented by Vener-
able Prof. Jungfelseh.

Paris.-The Academy Of Sciences
was startled at a recent meeting by
the announcement Of great step for
ward that has been made in the chem
istry and physics Of living things. 1t
is not q laboratory creation Of life, or
in any way the transformation Of in
organic matter into an orgt Iism. But
It is the laboratory production OF
chemical substances which in nature
are produced by living things ex-
clusively-and by the same physical
process vhich living things employ.
More thar half a century ago the
famous Berthelot won his renown as
the greatest living chemist by this
compromising Of what naturally are
organic products, from inorganic mat
ter-the synthesis OF organic COM
pounds. His son, Daniel Berthelot, has
now made the synthesis by natures
own process-"ch lorophyll assimila-
ton" This is the physical function
exercised by green plants In sunlight,
namely, tho Transforming of carbon
existing as a mineral into carbon ex'
listing in an organic state.
Plants do this by feeding on air;
they get the material which they trans
form from the carbonic acid and water
Eapor Of the air around them. The or
ganic compounds of carbon which
plants produce serve as food for high
er living beings. Without this chloro'
phyll function Of plants, which thus
assimilate the carbon Of our atmos
phere, there is no life on our globe
Now this chlorophyll assimilation has
been reproduced artihcially by Daniel
Berthelot and his assistant, Henri
Gaudechon, in all its fundamental &C
ton.
For this purpose they use purely
physical means and not chemical reac
ton. Under the influence Of the ultra
violet rays produced by a mercury va
por lamp, they have obtained exclu
sively from the air, that is, from iti
carbonic acid and water vapor, a mum
