TRY THE PANAMA CANAL.
Plans Made to Mobilize Ships In Pa
cific For Test
Plans are being- formed for the mobi
lization of the Atlantic licet on the Pa
cific coast next fall or early winter.
The Heet will be sent through the
Panama canal as soon ns it is complet
ed In order to determine how well and
how quickly this may bo accomplished
in case of necessity.
Secretary Daniels, after n conference
with Secretary Garrison, who had tele
graphed Colonel Goethals for definite
information, finds that the chief engi
neer expects the water to bo turned
into the Culobra .cut in October and
that one flight of locks at each end of
the canal will then be ready for use.
Colonel Goethals said the opening of
the canal had always been predicated
on the condition of the slides and the
completion of the locks. If in October,
when tho water is turned in nt Culebra,
slides do not prevent. It will bo pos
sible to pans vessels through. Colonel
Goethals is confident of being able to
pass vessels through by tho end of tho
year, at all events.
It is planned to send tho Frnm
through tho canal, if possible, on her
way to bo used in Amundsen's arctic
cruise, ami that ship will bo tho first,
after tho old battleship Oregon, to go
through. Colonel Goethals, however,
gives no positive assurances as to the
time when the canal may b used be
cause of tho uncertainty of slides at
Culebra.
OSLER TELLS HOW TO LIVE.
Life Is a Habit, He Says In Address at
Yale University.
Sir William Osier of London outlined
a new method of life while address
ing the Yale university students re
cently. Ho urged them to llvo for tho
present.
"My method is tho freshest, oldest,
simplest and usefulest handle in which
to fit your tool of life," ho said. "For
get tho past, forget the future. Life is
n habit as hard or as easy to acquire
ns any other in life. I'm no genius
my friends have found out that but
take no thought for the future, touch
a button that will shut off the past
and another that will shut off the fu
ture, and you will have a vacclno that
will Insure you against all morbid
thought. When tho load of tomorrow
is added to tho load of yesterday many
men falter on tho way.
"Tho flrst two hours of a day deter

liquor. Bright eyes aro tho thing, and
bright eyes never came from tpo free
indulgence."

that the ship shall go to San Francisco
afterward.
Senor Puga replied that ho would pre

Frog
Produced by Science
Grows Up,
SECRET OF LIFE IS FOUND.
How Germs Are Fertilized Discovered
by Physicians They Experiment
' With Sea Urchins and Produced Hy
brid Marino Life Puncture Frogs'
Eggs In Unique Tests.
Professor Jacques Loeb of the Itocke
feller institute, speaking boforo tho
Manhattan Medical society in Now
York recently described some of his
recent experiments in artificial repro
duction by fertilization of specimens
of animal lifo that developed to matur
ity. Professor Loeb excited great in
terest by relating that a female frog,
produced from an artificially fertilized
egg, was found on dissection after ac
cidental death to bo equipped for par
enthood. This frog had reached adult
life.
The physicians followed closely Dr.
Loob's description of his experiments.
Professor Garry N. Calkins of Colum
bia university led tho discussion which
followed. Professor Loeb asserted that
as a result of his experiments he had
not only learned how to imitato tho ef
fect of the spermatozoon in nature, but
to learn tho nature of tho spermatozoon
itsolf and its method of action. He
said:
"Tho egg in nature is only nblo to
develop after tho spermatozoon has en
tered into It Tho spermatozoon calls
tho egg not into life for it had lifo
already but into a now being. The
ijuestion before biology has been,
'How?'
"Previously biologists answered this
question in the same way that a few
years ago was answered questions con
cerning contagious diseases, by hy
potheses, by guesses. Biologists com
pared the egg to a clock and said tho
spermatozoon wound it. Llcbcg put
his metaphor into terms of chemistry
and called tho spermatozoon n ferment
which set up vibrations In tho egg.
Imitating the Spermatazoon.
"The problem of artificial fertiliza
tion was to do what the spermatazoon
does by simple physlo-chomical moans.
Observation of tho natural process
showed visible changes in the egg
after the entrance of tho spermata
zoon. Tho cntrnnco was followed by a
halo forming about tho egg, called the
fertilization membrane. Wo found
that this was the Important thing in
tho process, not nny change in the
nucleus, as we had supposed.
"Experimentation led to the discov
ery that this same halo, or fertiliza
tion membrane, followed tho applica
tion of monobasic fatty acids, such as
ncetlc acid or biiteric acid. Wo start
ed with tho soa urchin egg, because
that is constant, and wo wanted to bo
able to repeat our oxjorlinents.
"Wo found when wo ndded a mono
basic fatty acid to sea water, in which
to immerse the, egg, that in some cases
nt low temperatures tho egg developed
into a larvae and perished. At room
temperatures tho eggs divided. It was
plain that tho acid alone did not pro
duce a sufficient effect
"To prevent the disintegration we
hit upon a second treatment. Wo took
tho egg from tho acid sea water and
put it Into hypertonic sea water wa
ter to which sugar or salt had been
added. This had tho effect of draw
ing some of tho water from tho egg,
nbout which the fertilization mem
brane had formed, and a great ninny
of tho eggs developed normally. From
this wo drow tho conclusion that tho
eggs needed n double treatment and
that tho spermatazoon contained this
double treatment in exnetly tho right
proportions. All eggs did not form
tho fertilization membrane when sub
jected to tho flrst treatment, a cir
cumstance often embarrassing to the
experimenter. Wo then discovered
that all eggs could bo mado equally
sensitive by treating them flrst with
barium chloride or stronslum chloride.
Marine Life Hybrid.
"Our next experiment was tho at
tempt to fortillzo tho sea urchin egg
with tho sperm of a remote species.
Ordinarily hybrids do not occur In ma
rine life. This is remarkable, as biol
ogists observed, when various related
sea creatures spawn in tho samo wa
ters. Wo succeeded, however, in fer
tilizing sea urchin eggs with starfish
sperm by introducing a certain amount
of nlkallnlty into tho water."
Professor Loeb oxplaincd that the
eggs of frogs were started on tho road
to development by merely puncturing
them , This, ho said, convinced him
that tho breaking of tho outsldo of the
egg was tho important factor, accom
plished in naturo by chomlcal action of
tho sporinatzoon, in his earlier experi
ments by chemical dissolution of its
natural protection. Experiments both
with naturally fertilized and artificially
fertilized eggs', he said, showed that tho
first effect of tho formation of tho halo
wis to Increase oxidization six tlmos.
This oxidization, ho sold, was tho force
which stirred tho cell to development.

TI10 Laud of Yesterday
If ono could only And the way
Into tho land of ycxterdayt
How I would thrust tho miles aside.
Rush Up the quiet lano and then,
Just when her rosea laughed In pride,
Find her among tho flowers again.
I'd slip In silently and wait
Until she saw mo by tho gate,
And then read through a blur of
tears
Quick pardon for the selfish years.
This time, this time, I would not wait,
For that brief wire that said, Too late I
If I could only And the way
Into tho land of yesterday.
I wonder If her roses yet
Lift up tholr hoods and laugh with prldo.
And If her phlox and mignonette
Havo heart to blossom by their side;
I wonder If the dear old lano
Still chirps with robins after rain.
And If tho birds and banded bees
Still rob her early cherry trees
I wonder If I went thcro now.
How everything would seem and how
But no! not now; there la no way
Back to the land of yesterday.

CHINESE NEWSPAPERS
BECOMING PROSPEROUS.
Natives Find Them Useful In Many
Ways.
Up to thirty years ago few native
newspapers existed in China, while
today as many as twelve are publish
ed in Hongkong alone, about twenty
each in Canton and Shanghai and ono
or more in every large city of the in
terior, says tho Now York Journal.
While Chinese nowspapers wore of
small size formerly and printed hardly
anything but local items, tlioy now
contain an ever increasing number of
business advertisements, including
those of European firms, nnd late com
mercial, technical and foreign news is
also published. About twenty period
icals aro published In China in Eng
lish, French nnd German for tho bene
fit of tho Europeans living there, but
they are all small papers, with one
exception.
Tho Chinese aro tho greatest con
sumers of old newspapers in the world.
The official returns of tho custom
house at Newchwang state that that
port alone in 1011 received 1,918 tons
of old European newspapers, valued
at 53,000,000.
It is not at first easy to discover to
what use so much obsolete news can
be put. However, "wo gather that the
middle class Chinese profer newspaper
to tho native variety as a covering for
their walls. It has a greater power of
resistance and nffords a more effective
barrier to the invasions of the vermin
that plague Chtuoso houses.
Moreover, tho natives nro experts at
cutting out of tho newspapers waist
coats, which they wear next to tho
skin. Thope paper waistcoats aro said
to bo tho best possible protection
against a sudden cold snap. In view
of these admirable uses to which Eu
ropean newspapers may bo put, it is
not surprising to learn that tho Im
ports of 1011 wero heavy.
