SCIENCE is LACKING
EARTH AND MARS ARE ALIVE

says Prof Lowell in Lecture to
New Workers..

New York.-"Mercury and Venus

series OF lectures before scientific
bodies.
Mars is certainly inhabited by
some character of organized life" Doc.
tor Lowell said in his opening lecture.
and the Martians have far greater
reason to deny that there is life ON
the earth than we have that they do
not exist
But there is no life on any other
planets besides the earth and Mars

misunderstanding before the Chi

brary the sother night. DR.. Isaac A.
Abt made plea for more scientific
care of infants. saying that 'the hui
man baby is better than calf, but
more science is applied to stock
raising than to the care of infants"
Doctor Abts subject was Recent
Advances in Prevention of Infantile
Diseases and Death Rate" He spoke
principally of the work of the Chicago
milk commission, which recently was
reorganized under the name of the In.
fant Welfare society.
with the birth rate constantly de-
creasing we must cope with this great
est of all problems, the conservation
of our babies. The country is facing
crisis as never before in the matter
of child raising" said the doctor. Re
cent advances in scientific cattle and
hog raising have been much more
rapid than in scientific child raising.
The situation should be reversed to
give the child square deal. There is
a crying need for education in Amer
lea along these lines and especially
urgent Is the need for such a reform
in the great cities To do this a sys.
tematic educational campaign must be
started under the leadership of the
medical men of the great cities"
That the general health of the city
of Chicago had improved materially
during the past week and that 40
fewer cases of pneumonia were re-
ported than during the previous week
was the information contained in the
bulletin sent out by the city health de-
partment. But the bulletins stated
that the pneumonia death rate had
been high since November and would
probably continue SO until warm
weather came again
1t Is hoped that the repeated and
persistent warnings and advice of the
. department on the dirty air diseases,
due always to bad indoor air, are be-
ginning to bear fruit" reads the bulle-
tin- So long as people will continue
to poison themselves with bad air, Just
so long will pneumonia prevail and
the pneumania death rate be high.

Marvellous Device Furnishes
Plants StimuIants by Wire.
Increase Of 80 Per Cent In Electrical
ly Shocked Field Is Not Consid-
cred Hlgh-Wires Stretch
Across Fields.

Birmingham, Eng.-Electric shocks
for crops. Sunshine turned on by a
switch. Stimulus by wire for plants.
In the race for efficiency between
science and nature, science has taken
another step forward, and the above
marvels are already accomplished.
You can now buy an electric appa-
ratus for shocking your crops into
growth from a company of which
Lionel Lodge is one of the directors.
1t has come into being as the result of
experiments conducted by Sir Oliver
Lodge. the famous scientist, who is
principal of Birmingham university.
Seven installations have recently
been erected in Germany. and there
are two In Scotland. and two in Eng
land and another now on the high seas
on the way to Java. where 1t Will be
used to stimulate the growth of sugar
cane.
An association OF the sugar growers
there has bought it, and they are 60
ing 10 give It exhaustive trials. though
1t is realized that the conditions of
the climate there are adverse.
The stations in Great Britain, Mr..
Lodge said. are more or less expert
mental. but the German installations
have been put up as commercial un-
dertakings
The principal Scottish station is on
a farm at Balmakewan, Rincardine-
shire. and in England there is one on
farm at Stafford Priors. and the other
is at G.. r. Newman's nursery. at Brit
ton. near Bristol.
The apparatus consists OF an engine
running a special machine. which
sends only positive electricity along
the wires.
These wires are very thin, and there
fore they discharge a lot of electricity
into the air. The current is sent along
them at very high pressure.
The wires stretch across the field or
garden at a height Of 20 feet. The
escaring current reaches the plants
and stimulates their growth.
An increase OF 80 per cent in the
electrically-shocked crop as compared
with one grown under ordinary condi-
ions, is not considered high.
