death of an animal or plant are Of
the same nature as those which
govern its development-as others
had affirmed--then the coefficient of
temperature related to the duration
Of life ought to be the same as that
related to the rapidity Of its de-
yelopment. But observation showed
that there was no such coincidence,
but on the contrary an extreme d.
yergence. He found in his expert
ments with sea urchins that with
each single degree of elevation of
temperature the duration of life was
cut nearly in half. Thus, at tenn
perature Of 81 degrees the larvae
lived twenty-four hours; at % de-
grees ten hours and a half; at 30
degrees six minutes at 81 degrees

Among the innumerable theories
to which modern investigation of the
mystery Of life has led, none is
more curious than that Of the late
Jacques Loeb, based upon "the Their
mic coefficient," which is explained
as follows:
AT given temperature chemi-
cal reaction takes place with a
certain speed; then, for every eleya-
ton of ten degrees in the tempera-
ture the speed increases a certain
number Of times, and the increase is
called the thermic eoefficient Of the
reaction. In general, this coefficient
in chemical reactions lies between 2
and 3, while in physical reactions it
is less than 2. Now, many vital
manifestations have a thermic coeffi-
cient Of about 3, and this has been
used as an argument to prove that
the phenomena Of life and of death
are of a chemical nature.
To illustrate what is mean, take
these facts Of observation. An egg
develops about three times as fast
at a temperature of % degrees Cen
tigrade as at Is degrees. A plant
grows about three times as rapidly
at % degrees as at 10 degrees, An
ant runs about three times as swift
ly at % degrees as at 10 degrees. In
all of these cases the thermic CO.
efficient closely corresponds with
its mean value Of chemical reac-
tons.
Now Loeb pointed out that if the
processes which bring about the

Walking for Exercise

troeys, steam boats and submarines automobiles and
airplanes have made man move faster but something
is sacrificed for speed as every true pedestrian knows
New York banker is walking $50 miles this month
for rest, recreation and reflection. He will find them
He will find years also, to add to his sxy-seven
and understanding of Nature and mankind that he
could not otherwise discover. Only those who walk
attain the fuIlness of life
In big cities many thousands of men and women
walk less than mile day and ride many miles They
shorten distances, but they shorten their tempers and
their lives, too If every man and woman in the city
walked at least three miles day in the open air. the
health rate of the metropolis would rise appreciaby.

Keeping Cool May Prolong Life

firmed, he suggested that it might
be possible to greatly increase the
duration of the life OF the higher
animals by simply inducing a slight
lowering Of the internal temperature
of their bodies.
For some reason the tempera-
ture Of human blood is always in a
state of health, about % or 80
degrees Fahrenheit. At that tenn
perature the human machine runs
during a maximum time Of 100
years. Lower it / degree Cent?
grade and the machine would (per-
haps) run during 200 years. No
man can foresee all the consequences
in human affairs that would result
from doubling the duration of life.
But, supposing the effect to be as
predicted, how could the lowering Of
internal temperature be brought
about? Would continued residence
in a cold climate effect such a re-
suit? There is an observation Of
Locb's which might be thought to in
dictate that he had some such idea,
for he calls attention to the fact
that the number of individuals
among the animals inhabiting the
polar seas is large probably be-
cause the length of life there is rela-
lively long.
Keep cool, "--i. e., avoid heating
the blood by undue excitement-is
an immemorial popular prescription
for inducing long life. Perhaps we
hight now write it, Keep an eye
on your thermic coefficient"

Some interesting facts were
brought out in the course Of a re-
cent meeting of the X.ray special
lists. Much was said about cancer
and its causes. One speaker made
the claim that high-pressure living
and hasty eating on the part Of
the modern American are productive
of decided increase in the develop
ment Of cancer Of the oesophagus.
The common name for the
oesophagus is "gullet." 1t Is the pas
sage-way from TIE throat to the
stomach. Through your sullet
passes every particle Of food and
every drop Of water you take.
If this passage.way had the diam
eter Of a stove pipe II wouldn't mat
ter so much what size the morsel Of
food is. or how jagged and pointed
its edges. or how hot or cold 1t Is.
But you see the gullet is compare
lively narrow. 1t is lined with deli
cate membrane. It is easy to tear
or otherwise damage it.
There is a muscular coat in the
walls Of the oesophagus. BY its
waves Of contraction 1t strips the
food along the passageway and

Football in Italy

match between Bologna and Genoa to decide the cham
pionship of Northern Italy was forbidden
Football is new test of the Latin temperament.
In time undoubtedly, Italians will take the American
and English viewpoint of the game pastme not as
conflict. According to the AngIoSaxon football code
limbs may be fractured, but never feelings.
That is the ideal Of craftsmanship for which Ital-
ians must now strive That it is not impossible goal is

ute and a half. This gave as the
thermic coefficient related to the
duration of life the enormous figure
of 1000 which is 1888 times greater
than that shown in chemical reac-
tons.
So Loeb rejected the doctrine that
both the development of a living
creature and its death accidental

a long series of chemical reactions,
all of the same nature. He left the

Faith by Works
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

your religion, IL it implies that of
helping the other fellow, is to do
something constantly for those that
are around you.
1t is to remember that the bellboy
and the chambermaid are as much
interested in your personal interest
as In your tips.
The best way to propaganda
your religion Is b show its influence
by your actions Yather than being
stubborn or obstinate about your
belief.
The best way to propagandizc and
make popular your kind Of religion
is to show people that it makes you
the right kind Of a person, for the
one thing that would make them
want to have the kind Of religion
you have Is that they may be the
same kind OF person as you.
Being good and doing good are
vastly superior to talking good and
reasoning good, and IL more of us
were particular to carry out our be-
liefs in our actions and conduct we
would not need 90 much to carry out
our beliefs with our reasoning pow
ers.
After all, It is not our reasoning
and logic, but our life that affects
other people.

Figures Of Speech
God From the Machine"


This phrase, "a god from the ma
chine" more commonly seen in its
Latin form, deus ex mUchina,"
means something that is dragged
in by the heels" when a clumsy au-
thor finds himself in a difficulty.
He calls upon a god from the ma
chine" 10 extricate himself, as, for
example, when he invents a rich
uncle arriving suddenly from India
to save someone from going to Jail
for debt.
The tragic poets Of Greece, in
conformity with the popular myth
illogical beliefs Of their time, instead
Of bringing about the climax of
their plots by natural means, often
introduced a god upon the stage. He
entered by means Of a mechanical
contrivance, a machine" and arbi-
trarily removed whatever difficulty
hindered the proper termination Of
a piece.
Hence, whenever. a person or in
cident is introduced arbitrarily in
modern tragedy or comedy, merely
to remedy some inartistic spot in its
construction, such a makeshift is
called, figuratiyely, a "deus er ma
china"

Freaks Of Nature
Thread Spinner.

One of the queerest Of marine
creatures is the thread spinner, the
"sewing-machine Of the ocean," 1t
seems as though the creature was
meant to be a spider, but some
how or other ended up in the briny
deep instead Of on land. The thread
spinner jumps along the bottom,
jerking and baking like nm aged
fliyver. Because Of these sudden
starts and stops, filaments are eject
ed from the creatures body. The
first naturalist who saw a thread
spinner decided that the filaments
resembled threads, and so gave. the
odd animal its name.

There are many people who are
ready and willing to 30 to any ex-
tremes in order to defend their Pc
culiar form of faith.
Many of these people do not recog-
nize that the best way to propagan-
die is to show your faith by your
works.
Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead recently
said:
"How many clergy before closing
their churches for the summer have
taught their congregations how to
carry religion into their vacations?
Golf, motoring and big dinners
usually characterize Sunday observ-
ance in most resorts"
Too many people let their children
run loose, abandon their churches
and indulge in Goddess Sabbath as
a part Of their vacation.
Mrs. Mead recommends that we
give our superfluous books or period
icals to those who probably cannot
buy them, and that we can learn
much of the real problems of the
people by inviting the poor to din
ner and trying to learn something
from them.
She says that three months Of
doing nothing but having a good
time means spiritual loss, restless
ness and responsibility.
