is on the threshold of solving I'M
portant features of the age-old
mystery Of life and death, tn"
Evening Standard 5 correspondent
telcgraphed today from Glasgow
where the British Association for
the Advancement of Science is meet
ing.
The statement said Prof. Hill, by
STUDYING the muscles and nerve cells
of the human body, had reached
startling conclusions about the diff
fcrcnt in sources of energy be
tween human beings and machines,
as well as varying reasons for the
disintcgration of the body and
death.
The correspondent forecast "a
scientific sensation when the de
tails are disclosed. He said it was
extremely probable that the dis
coveries of Hill would lead to as
great Il conflict of opinion as Dar-
