London Chronicles: The members
of. the British Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science pursued the
question opened UP by Sir Edward
Schafer last year as to the origin of
life. Several solutions were Colun-
teered and many differences of opin-
ion were revealed in the debate; but
on one point there was complete
agreement. It was that we arc no
nearer a solution of the origin Of life
than we were 1000 years ago.
Prof. Bernard Moore of Liverpool
launched the debate by announcing
he believed he a Dun the first
step in organic evolution. The whole
world of plants and animals, he said,
depended for its continuance on the
synthesis Of organic compounds from
inorganic by the green coloring mat
ter of the plant acting as a transform
er of light energy. into the chemical
energy. In considering the origin or
life a start must be made in a purely
inorganic world, possessing no trace
of organic matter, either plant or ami
NAL
If a planet, exposed to the proper
condition of temperature and sunlight,
We're considered, the chain of events
which must occur could be followed.
At first, as the planet cooled down,
only elements would be present, then
linary compounds would form, and
lastly, simple crystallized salts. BY
the union Of single molecules Of these
substances. colloidal aggregates would
appear, which would increase in com
plexity, be easily destructible by sud
den chances of environment and ex-
ceedingIy sensitive to energy changes.
At this stage Professor Moore de-
tailed how, by taking these colloids
together with water and carbon diox-
ide in the presence of uranium salt,
formaldehyde would be obtained. For
maldehyde, then, he described as the
simplest organic structure, and to it
he had traced. the first step in the
evolution Of life. ~ .
'Jt is clear that by the continued
action OF the law of molecular com
plexity,' he said, life. must originate.
The origin of life Is no fortuitous ac-
cident. and the process which ! have
described Is guiding life EDWARDS to a
higher evolution in a progressive Gre
alton"
bSir oliver Lodge was the first critic.
He described Professor Moore's formal
dehyde as potential living matter:
when you have got potential living
marked. i aWh @af life Use u / q aon't know no 81 /
suppose that 1t is provides by parents
and passed on. Formaidehyde would
not be the origin of life: but the ply
steal, chemical vehicle which can be
made use of by life"
Prof. III. p. Armstrong, the famous
chemist, said that he was not for one
moment prepared to accept Professor
Schafer's contention of last year that
1T was probable, or even possible, that
they would ever arrive at the chemical
production of life. The word "colioid,'
which was so often used In these dis
cussions, was, like 20 many words, only
used to wrap up Ignorance.

THE PRODUCT SHOW

The Fargo Home Products show has
been postponed this year from the

This was the decision reached at the
meeting of the Fargo Manufacturers'
association held at the Fargo Com

The question of accommodations 70:
all the manufacturers in the associa-
ton was one that entered into the
proposition of ~postponement this year.
as the number of manufacturing con-
Germs has so vastly increased since a

UNDERGROUND IN A BIG CITY.
100000 Persons I'm New York Below
Ground Every Year.

Ground Every Year.
Popular Mechanics: From a million
and q. half to a million and three
quarters OF the residents of New York
spend at least a portion of each day
underground, n many thousands
come to the surface so rarely tina the
light Of day blinds them when they
reach it. According to the best. OBJ
tainable statistics about 10000 persons
in New York city spend their entire
the earth. These figures include $500
employees on the two systems of sub
ways now in operation. They include
1900 men who are employed digging
more than doubled in the near future.
Also included are the 1900 g most
OF whom are working several hundred
feet below the street surface, driving
carry throughout the islands of Man
haitian and over into Long Island the
waters that are being brought down
by siphon from the Catsktll mountains.
and women who are employed in more
private enterprises. that take them
constantly below the, street surface.
Z! On quite ordinary days 1900, 900 per-
sons are accommodated In the New
York subways, and the. crowds are
multiplying, week by week.
In the great hotels OF New York the
mechanical departments are all far be-
meath the street surface. These kitch-
ems, bakeshops, furnace rooms, engine
rooms, and laundries ordinarily are the
cleanest in the entire hotel.
Many OF New York's greatest de-
partment stores are connected directly
with the subways, as are also some of
its newer theaters.
Last February o family of three from
San Francisco, visiting In New York,
lived for a fortnight in of the
most fashionable and most expensive
hatels In the city, spent most of their
tine shopping. sightseeing and theater-
going, and only once during the entire
fourteen. days passed into the open air
of the outside world.
From their rooms in the hotel they
were dropped by elevator to the level
OF the subway. Through the subway
they went to department stores. thea
{ters, restaurants, museums and ever
went to church
When they started for home they
went by subway from the hotel to the
Grand Central station and did not get
out into sunlight until their train had
well started or its long journey. And
this was not on a bet, either.
