SOVIET PLOT SEEN
IN IMBRIE MURDER
Americans Name Was Listed as
Undesirable" Russian News
paper Asserts.

LENINGRAD, August 11.-Accord-
ing to the Russian daily RusSkaya
Gazeta (anti-Soviet), there are good
reasons for believing that the murder
in Teheran of the United States con-
sui, Maj. Imbrie, was the outcome of
soviet intrigues and was directly in
.spired by Moscow agents. 1t now ap-
pears that the soviet government con-
.sidered Maj Imbrie one of the most
bitter enemies of the soviet republic" "
and his name was on the list of un-
desirable foreigners" whom Moscow
intended to get rid of at the first
favorable opportunity.
Maj. Imbries acquaintance with the
Bolsheviks dates back to the year
F191S, when he was United States vice
consul in Petrograd and was forced.
in order to save his life, to flee to Fin
land. Subsequently Maj. 1mbrie was
for some time chief of the American
intelligence service in Viborg, and
succeeded in visiting soviet Russia
unapprehended five times, disguised
as a Russian peasant. Later, Maj.
Imbrie spent some months in the
Crimea at the time of Gen. Wrangers
attempt to clear Russia of the Boil
sheviks.
While acting as the United States
diplomatic agent at Angora in 1922
Maj. Imbrie learned that the Soviet
envoy there had offered the Turkish
police a considerable sum If they
would not place any obstacles in the
way of bandits hired by the Bolshe-
viks to murder him. The plot was
frustrated, as the Turkish govern
ment afforded Maj. Imbrie the neces-
sary police protection and arrested
several soviet agents.

BY DIR. EDWIN E. SLOSSON,
Director Science Service.

TORONTO. Ontario, August IL
The new theory of tain-build-
ing, known at "isostasy," had the
floor this morning in the geological
section. We used to think that the
earth's crust f1oated upon a sea of
molten rock and that the contraction
of the earth in cooling occasionally
thrust up wrinkles of mountain
ranges. But nowadays the earth is
regarded as solid all the way down,
but increasingly plastic under pres
sure at lower depths. SO, as a noun
tain wears away from erosion, as
all mountains do, it gradually rises,
since the pressure is removed, while
the sea, where the eroded rock is
deposited, subsidies. until the two
areas are balanced. That is, there
is an undertow of viscous rock many
miles underneath that adjusts the
equilibrium whenever it is disturbed
by superficial shifts.
Weight Of Ice Piles.
One of the causes of the rise and
fall of land is the mountainous ice
sheets that have piled up and melted
off in the successive glacial periods.
Prof. A. P. Coleman of the University
of Toronto said today that ice was
once piled up on Labrador thousands
of feet high, while the ice sheet over
the central States was only a few
hundred feet thick. AS the ice melt
ed along the margins of river, lake
and sea, these beaches were pushed
up from under by isostasy. Such
raised beaches can be seen in On
taria and Quebec, Newfoundland
Labrador and the maritime provinces.
oil foH him nf
slow process of sreadjustment from
the last glacial period is still going
on underneath parts of Canada. The
eastern end of Lake Ontario is ris-
ing more rapidly than the western,
and this floods the mouths of the
Don and Humber rivers of the To-
ronto district. Prof. Reginald A..
DAILY Of Harvard also discussed the
effect of the great load of ice for
merly covering Labrador and Kee-
watin. The depression of this
weighted area caused the rise of a
ring of land around it beyond the
edge Of the glaciated region.
From the structure of worm to
the constitution of an empire was
the scope of the presidential address
of Prof. F. w. Gamble of the Uni
versity of Birmingham delivered be-
fore the geological section of the
British Association for the Advance
ment Of Science this morning. His
guiding theme was the new theory
of bodily control, worked out by
Prof. c. M. Child of Chicago, which
has captured the imagination of the
younger generation of biologists and
opened to them a promising field Of
experimentation. Child worked most
ly with planarians. the fat soft,

where the chemical processes of life
were most active and that the activ
ity tapered off toward the tail. But
when the planarian gets too long
for the head to keep the whole
length in due subordination, a new
center of activity starts up in the
hindward half, which finally breaks
away from the parent body. Then
the tail end grows a head and the
becomes twain. Now it seems that
Child's Hypothesis of Metabolic
Gradients" to give it's proper name.
is applicable to higher organisms and
groups of organisms, perhaps even
to human society. In the develop
ment of an egg into an embryo the
articular point in the protoplasrn that
is most energetic gets ahead of the
rest and eventually becomes the head
of the creature, while the more slug
gfsh masses fall into their power sta
tions and become the various organs.
Among the coral colonies the head
or apex, so long as it remains strong
enough, keeps the other branches
from budding off, but when the shoot
grows too long for such centralized
government, a remote bud may start
up and Secede to form an Independent
colony. But although the apex in all
cases is the most vital center. yet it
is also the most susceptible to poisons
and easily killed. In that case a new
head may arise from the reserve and
comparatively inactive basal sub
stance, as in the case of worms, but
in the case of highly organized and
differentiated bodies or societies this
is impossible and so the whole per-
ishes. AS Prof. Gamble puts it: Life
under dominance tends to exhaustion,
whereas isolation leads to renewal
of activity at a lower level of COM
plexity." He calls attention to in
stances in the history of the world
where a primitive people long iso-
lated in remoteness or caught in some
backwater, has come forward to give
new life to a deaadent civilization.
