TONDON.-A curious story lies
behind the finding of

The ak head is about six

Garrett P. Serviss Shows How Secret
of Life Still FOils
Science
By Garrett P. Serviss,

TTOW close are we to the
secret of life? Does either
AA chemistry or biology yet
hold that secret in it's grasp?
There are people, 1 find, who
assume that the mystery is prac-
t1cally dissipated. How great
mistake they make is we'll shown
by some statements recently made
by Prof. Edmund B. Wilson in a
carefully prepared lecture on THE
Physical Basis of Life"
Ever since the time of Prof.
Huxley the physical basis of life
has been represented by the Gu
rious living substance, 'proto-
plasm," which is invariably found
in all living things, and without
whose presence apparently moth
ing can be alive"
But although the chemical COM
position of protoplasm seems to
be known, all attempts to put its
elements together and transform
the product into real living proto-
plasm have failed. And in the
present state of knowledge, even
II those elements when put to-
gether in the laboratory should
combine into living substance,
the underlying cause would be
as obscure as ever. We should
still have to say: at is natures
way, or natures law, behind
which we cannot 60"
WOULDN'T SATISFY ALL.
Now that would satisfy some
minds completely and other minds
not at all. Perhaps we might
say that it would satisfy the
scientist but not the philoso-
pher.
But observe what Prof. Wilson
says, after pointing out the very
great progress that has been made
during the last half century in
the study of protoplasm, and after
quoting with approval Czapek's
assertion that life is a complex
of innumerable chemical reac-
tions taking place in the pro-
toplasmic cell. Having, as 1t
were, taken the cell to pieces,
how, asks Prof. Wilson, shall we
put it together again? And he
proceeds:
1T is here that we first fairly
face the real problem of the
physical basis of life; and here
lies the unsolved riddle. We try
to disguise our ignorance con-
corning this problem with learned
hrases. We are forever con-
juring with the word 'organiZa-
ton as a name for the integral
ing and unifying principle in the
vital processes; but which one of
us is really able to translate this
word into ineligible language?"
And then he goes on with re-
gard to what occurs within the
system of the cell:

II ARIS-People in cities live
longer on the average than
n farmers and people forced to
live in the country.
This is the remarkable con-
clusion arrived at by a writer in
the Paris Illustration.
Contrary to all that we have
~ believed" he writes, 1.-The
most healthful existence is not
that of the open air, the fields,
hard labor and an abundance of
oxygen.
"Centenarians are much more
numerous in cities and towns
than in villages, relatively speak
ing.
Mortality tables demonstrate
that it is the intellectuals, those
unhappy beings deprived of exer-
else and fresh air and forced to
live the most unhygienic existence
in the world, who live the longest
Of all workmen.
"A writer is less menaced by
premature death than a farm
laborer. A pale professor offers
greater resistance than a robust
village blacksmith.
after writer's, senator's and
politicians live longest, and then
come the scientists and doctors.
Among the scientists, the astron-
omers live the longest by far.
cali these things lead us to
the inevitable belief that the
essential thing for the conserva-
ton Of health is not the physical
but the moral condition. 1t is the
morale which imposes the equl-
librium in our bodies.
"It is in the brain and not in
the lungs that the germ Of
longevity EXISTS. Cerebral ac-
tivity is the great principal Of
life. 1t galvanizes all our

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

" AsTE trips up Its own
ii heels.
He who knows but little tells it
quickly.
Ignorance has shortened more
lives than the sword.
In character, as in architec-
ture, proportion is beauty.
Youth is eminently the fittest
season for establishing habits Of
industry.
Dancing has ceased to be an
innocent recreation and become
demoralizing disease.
Every moment may be put to
some use, and that with much
more pleasure than If unem-
ployed.
A wise man is more likely to
meet with good fortune than a
foolish man because he puts him.
self in the way of it.
Nothing is more odious than
that insensibility which wraps q
man up in himself and his own
concerns and prevents his being
moved with either the joys or the
sorrows of another.
There is this difference be-
tween a wise man and a fool:
The wise man expects future
things, but does not depend upon
them, and in the meantime en-
joys the present, remembering
the past with delight, but the life
of the fool is wholly carried on to
the future.

Cows "SteWed"

n OPLAR BLUFF, Mo.-There

u bells, and for a time Judge
r. M. Wagner thought his stock,
as in the nursery rhyme, were
going to essay hurdling the moon.
Five head of the judges best
and, under normal conditions, most
docile cows came home the other
night staggering and believing.
The judge went to console them,
but when he appeared the faith
full old cows mimicked their male
brethren and placed him in the
role of a toreador. The cows
charged, but the judge made a
hasty escape from the enraged
animals.
The cows. it was found. had
strayed off in the neighborhood
and imbibed of some moonshine
mash. One cow died, another
went blind, and three others are

this type have given us an in
dispensable working method-it
is the method which almost alone
is responsible for the progress
of modern biology-but the plain
fact remains that there are still
some of the most striking phe-
nomena of life of which it has
thus tar failed to give us more
than the most rudimentary under
standing"
TRAITS WOVEN TOGETHER.
Going deeper into the prob
lens of cell life, he asks:
How then are hereditary traits
woven together in a typical order
of space and time? 1t is the
same old puzzle made larger and
more insistent, but not yet, so far
as ! can see, brought nearer to
it's solution. We are ready with
the time-honored replies: 1t is the
Organism as a whole; it is a
property of the system as such;
it is organism These words like
those of Goldsmith's country par
son are of learned length and
laundering sound Once more in
the plain speech of everyday life,
their meaning is: We do not
know"
Such statements from a leader
in science should have a sober
ing effect upon people who i'm
agine, with curious enthusiasm,
and proclaim that science has
solved the secret of life and dis
missed the soul. But, it would
be unjust to Prof. Wilson not to
quote him a little further. 81 do
not believe" he declares, that
confession of ignorance leaves us
with no recourse save vitalism.
To maintain that observation and
experiment will not bring us
nearer to a solution of the puzzle
would be a lapse into the dark
ages" He prefers to look for
ward to a day when the great
riddle may give up it's secret"
