During tbs1 last summer the noted scientist has been eontlnning bis series of experiments with the eggs of the lower marine animals, especially those of the sea urchin, and in a paper entitled On the Prolongation of Life of Unfertilised Eggs of the Rea Urchin by Potassium Cyanide, he told a group of the foremost physicians in America that by means of observation of the effeela of certain chemicals upon these minute bits of protoplasm he was ready to make a tentative definition of the heretofore unknown nature of death. Death, Prof. Loel affirmed, was not a negaliva process, a simple breaking down of tissues, as it has been regarded up to this time, but an active agent born with the birth of the egg, and destined, If not checked, to gain tbs upper hand of ihs life instinct and bring about extinction. Hut, greater even than the apparent discovery of this death agent In all life substance, in Prof. IjOeb'a 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 Ihs power of mankind. Ths experiments, Prof. Loeb says, wers simple. Unfertilised eggs of the sea nrchin wers placed in a weak solution of potassium cyanide and abandoned for several flays. In ordinary conditions au unfertilized egg diea In a few hours, destroyed by the death agents born with it. At the eud of several days the eggs were again examined and were found to be still capable of fertilization and of producing healthy animals. In explaining the reaults, Prof. Loeli said that the Mortiferous processes were due to the actiona of certain ferments of au unknown nature, whose destructive tendency was counteracted by tlie potassium sails. Several other papers of importance were read during the meeting. Prof. D. J.

A few days latter hia body was found In a neighboring river weighted with heavy rucks and showing wounds through hia heart and in his neck. Two of tlie members of the outlaw band, who were captured, were sentenced by a military commission to be hanged. Two Filipinos who took part in the murder of an unknown native accused of being an American spy, beheading the body and burying it in the city of Manila, were sentenced to be hanged. Another outlaw baud seized a native man and woman for no apparent motive and killed them by striking them with clubs on the back of their necks. !
