Mine-Worke- MYSTERY OF DirATH PROBED BY SCIENTISTS f n. d n, live-stoc- 1 Death, the Scientist Claims, le Not a Breaking Down of Tissues, Uni an Active Agent That Can In Controlled. Experiments which, it is asserted. Are a beginning of the unraveling of the mysteries of death were made public by Prof. Jacques Loeb at the fourteenth annual meeting of the American' Physiological society at the University of Chicago Monday night. .During the last summer the noted scientist has .been continuing hia series of experiments with the eggs of the lower marine animals, especially those of the sea nrchin, and in a paper entitled On the Prolongation of Life of Unfertilized Eggs of the Sea Urchin by Potassium Cyanide, he told a group of the foremost physicians In America that by 'means of observation of tlie effects of certain chemicals upon these misut bits of protoplasm he was ready U make a tentative definition of the heretofore unknown nature of death. Death, Prof. Loeb affirmed, was not a negative process, a simple breaking down of tissues, as it has been regarded up to this time, but an active agent born with tlie birth of the egg, and destined, if not checked, to gain the upper hand of the life instinct and bring about extinction. But, greater even than the apparent discovery of this death agent in all life substance, is Prof. Loch's announcement that he baa been able to check the agent, in the egga of the sea urchin at least, by means of chemical agents. This, it is said, means nothing less than that on a minute scale the secret of eternal life is in the power of mankind. The experiments, Prof. Loeb says, were simple. Unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin were placed in a weak solution of potassium cyanide and abandoned for several days. In ordinary conditions au unfertilized egg dies in a few honrs, destroyed by the death agents born with it At the end of several days tlie eggs were again examined and were found to he still capable of fertilization and of producing healthy animals. In explaining the results, l'rof. Loeb said that the Mortiferous processes were due to the actions of certain ferments of an unknown nature, whose destructive tendency was counteracted by the potassium salts, Several oilier papers of importance were read during the meeting. Prof. D. J. Lingle of the University of gave the results of his research into the effect of common salt upon the heart beat. He affirmed with great emphasis that, contrary to the statements of Prof. Hows'll' of Harvard, salt is tlie sole agent responsible fur the rythmic actiou of the heart Chi-cag- o, In Pueblo, Louis Mickey, a hot tai male vendor, committed suicide by swallowing laudanum.

Ilellef That llarrlniHii Interests Are tempting to Delay Cniiiiiimllon of Northern I'ut-lllFlans. At- Judge Elliott at Minneapolis Monday granted u temporary order re- -i straining the officers of the Northern Pacific Railway company from retiring: er the preferred stock of that company. The order was issued ou the application of Peter Power of New York, who holds 100 shares of the common stock. It was supposed that the failure of the action brought in New York by holders of preferred stock cleared away the1 last obstacle to the retirement of the: preferred on January 1st, leaving the' Hill interests free to act. It is inferred, although it does not so appear, that the present action ia brought in behalf of the Ilarriman in-- 1 terests to prevent the control passing from out of its hands for another year or until the legal standing of the Northern Securities company ia settled. The claim set up by Mr. Power in his1 suit is lliut the retirement of the preferred slock is in violation of the agreement that such retirement would lay no additional burdens upon the common stock and he holds that the certificates of debenture bonds to he issued to effect the retirement of the preferred stock would become a lien upon the common stock and thus work an injury to his properly.
