CAUSES or hIGn rRIcEs.

The Massachusetts State Commits
sion on the Cost of Living has estab-
lisheG the fact that the advance of
prices since 1897 is world wide, and is
not confined TO one or even two or
three countries.
This commission finds that the prim-
airy cause of this worldwide advance
is the increase OF the gold supply, re
ducing the purchasing power of the
metal and bringing about a cores
pondlng increase of values, measured
in money, while it has served in the
United States as a basis for vast ex-
tension Of credit. 10 this country the
Commission finds the enormous waste
Of income, public and private, through
uneconomic expenditures for war; en-
larged burdens of government in caring
for disease, crimes and pauperism, in
diligence in luxurieS and wasteful eX-
penditures in housekeeping to be ac-
celebrating factors.
4 third consideration is the drain
Of the population from the land, which
has decreased the proportion Of per
sons engaged in producing the TO-
supply, the exhaustion Of natural re-
sources, which has increased the cost
of productiveness as the returns from
the soil have been diminished, to
gether with uneconomic methods o
production and distribution.

HUMAN EMBRYO FORMED
BY CHEMICAL COMBINATION
Mexican Scientist Reported to Have
Succeeded IN Creating Man.

The Mexican consul at Trieste RE
ports that Professor Herrera, Mexi-
can scientist. has succeeded in form
ing a human embryo by chemical COM
bination.
Phiippus Theopmastus Aureolus
Paracelsus Bombastus Of Hohonheim.
known for short as Paracelsus. was.
so far as Is known. the first scientist to
declare that human beings could be
made by artificial means. He even
said that he could make a "homun-
culus" himself. but he said good
many other things which. even if
.eredence We're given to his statements
in. The sixteenth century, appear to the
men of science Of today wildly fantas-
tic.
Recently the best known experiments
in the line Of The artificial generation
Of living embryos have been those of
Professor Jacques Loeb. who by his
experiments with sea urchins at Pa
cific Grove Cal, created a sensation in
the scientific world a few years ago,
His first feat was the artificial fer
tilization of the eggs of these animals
and the production almost down to the
last essential detail of the phenomena
of normal development in the eggs,
which had been made TO develop by
chemical means.
Professor Loeb next upset the hith-
erto existing theories Of biologists by
finding means TO make the eggs Of
sea urchins susceptible to cross ferti-
lization. BY first heating the eggs with
special solutions lie was able TO by
bridize different families and orders Of
marine animals.
Professor Loeb's activities in re
search have been devoted almost en-
tirely to the study of the origin of
life
