STUDYING ORIGIN OF Scientists of Many Kinds Have Found This One of Most Fascinating of Problems. The search for the elixir of youth passed away with the age of fable; the search for the secret of life goes on with ever-increasing persistence. The Harvard professor who has Just ’•sur prised" a Baltimore audience with n theory on the subject, is only one of a host. For every biologist and physi ologist today the problem looms large. Cbem'sts are thinking of it. Even tbd physicists have It on their mind. To aff-^of them it looks aiucplo'. and yet Is enormously complex. Given such substances as oxygen, hydrogen, nitro gen. phosphorus, sulphur and w hat not In the inanimate world, how does it happen that when they come together under organic conditions life should result?* Do they ’get busy” on their own initiative, or docs a so-called “vi tal energy,” different from physical energy, intervene to make them alive? Is it their partnership that gives rise to life, or do they already live. If with a lower order of vitality, in ad vance of the combination? To questions like these several sort* of scientists are trying to give 'an swers. and they have more than one method. One is to see the thing oat, the other Is to reason it out. The em piricists bring their microscopes to bear on the organic cell with keen at tention to parts and workings. They insist bn studying the riddle where It shows Itself; they believe that where organic conditions prevail vital phe nomena must appear; many of them even hold, with Schaefer, that It %IH be possible to “synthedlge’’ In the laboratory. The rationalists/on the other band, despairing ol aid from the microscope, are content to find out where life comes from. And even here two schools of thought have taken the royal road. By the one' It Is main tained that life does not Ftart up sud denly In the living body, hut is more or less “latent” in all matter. That hypothesis is Implicit in the hylozoism of the ancient Greeks; it has been ex panded in modern Germany by the Nagelis and the Haeckels; it shows itself once more in the view repre sented by Professor Henderson at Bal timore. Then there is the cpsmic theory championed by Arrhenius. In his cosmogony t^e vital germ which- started organic evolution came to us from other worlds, or from the spaces between, wafted thence to the earth by the impelling power of solar light. MR.

The Anglo-American war of 1812-14 from the conclusion of which we date our centenary of peace, waa due re motely to one of the most trivial Incl dents that could be imagined. At the Rhode Island elections in 1811—so the story goes—one constituency waa lost to the Federalist party because a cer tain „ farmer arrived at the polling place too late to cast his vote. He had been delayed by the difficulty oj releasing one of hia pigs that had been caught in a fence. The result was that this constituency elected a pro-war candidate to the atate legis lature by a majority of one. The representative sent to the United States senate by this legislature was elected by a similar majority, and ul timately It .was by a majority of one that congress declared war against Great Britain.—Manchester Guardian.
