(WORLD. OF SCIENCE, It Is Auazjil by Prof. Loeb's New Toeory of Lie. Chlcaga Valveralljr Profeaaor D. clarra That fcleelrieal Efrf la Heuallle tor tlodlljr Acttoa Life to Be lrolvuKcd. 1'rof. Jacques Loeb, of the Chicago university, reaj a papeT the other day before the American 1'hynio logical so ciety in which he maintained that the life of man may be extended 100 years or longer by supplying the nerves with electrical force through proper food aud by the introduction into the body of chemicals that will produce elec trical force or that will destroy cer tain particles in the nerve, that hin der the ei.i ration of electrical force. I'rof. Koib's disco-very is fc-aid t mark an epoch in ihe science of life. T he idea, apparently, is that life is re ally stimulated aud made to continu by electrical Impulses generated by minute elect ical excitants, of positive at i! i.r:ra!ivi- natures, within the budy. actually within tin; nerves. The pith of the ilisx-overy lies in the ups.jtiiiM- ,,f i,e theory that the litTVen arc cnii.pl -id of cells, acting one ag:i.ir.s: the other, and carrying its a motor impulse to the muscles the nig ral from the leain. They arc, on t lit ntla r h'lt.il. composed of a colloidal solution, which is not king more t ha n n jelly in solution, the colloidal parti cles of which carry positive electrical charges of electricity. The soluble condition of Ihe nrrvt matter is maintained by positively charged chemical atoms, such as nodi inn, potassium, calcium and hydrogen. The nerve stimulation is induced and the impulse by which the muscles tire attracted is carried along by negative ly charired matter. So long as the nerve matter remains In solution there is no impulse, but when the initial stimulus from ihe brain is applied the i.rgnt ive particles throughout the nerve tissue are made to act and elect rical excitement along ti e entire nerve inset up. The statement simply is that instead of there being some central battery in the body where electrical force is gen erated electricity by which the motor nerves are made effective in moving the human mechanism, is generated in countless thousands of tiny batteries distributed throughout the nervous system, and called into action by a sig nal frnttj the brain upon the nearest ncgat ive elect rode. !:.

He is a son of the late Arthur Sewall, who was liryan's run ning mate in is'ji'i, and has recently come into a large fortune by his fa ther's death. Sewall w as talked of for the governorship of Hawaii, but failed of appointment. It is understood now that he has given up rtionlar interest in the pu'liiics of the islands, and is striving for the post of minister or ambassador to some great foreign power. The republicans in the islands are split into Pole and anti-Pole factious, but as Parker is friendly with the lead ers of both sides, he may be able to reunite them. GEORGE W. HINMAN.
