16 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1896 GENERAL INTEREST IN EISEN'S DISCOVERY, taking biological investizators we have will prove all that Dr. Eisen claims for it.”’ A e MARKS A NEW DEPARTURE Men of Science Giving the Subject Much Deep Thought. Dr. H. W. Harkness, Ex-President of the Academy of Sclences on the Discovery of Dr. Eisen. “I've been out of town lately,” said Dr. H. W. Harknessof the California Academy of Sciences, ‘‘and since my return have not had time for a due consideration of the biological inyestigations of Dr. Eisen, whose name is now in everybody’s mouth. I am sure though that his inquiries and experiments concerning the blood cor- puscle have been conducted with the utmost pains and honesty. His idea of the centrosome, a part of a living, inde- pendent organism, is a reasonable suppo- gition. The actions of colorless corpus- cles, those scavengers of the blood, seem to indicate a similar condition of life. **The action of the centrosome wuen di- vested of its surroundings seems to ex- hibit conditions similar to that of the col- orless corpuscles. Dr. Eisen's discovery marks a new departure in the study of the blood and is of the highest importance in the future study of the science of biology. “‘As I've already said, the work of Dr. Eisen is_entirely honest. In its essential points it will undoubtedly withstand the criticism of his fellow - biologists and eventually be accepted by them practi- cally as it has been stated by him.’’ Emernge e EISEN IN ADVANCE. DR. LE CONTE'S VIEW. Other Authorities Give Their | Opinions on the Absorb- ing Topic. WHAT HARKNESS HAS TO SAY. Winslow Anderson Conmsiders It One of the Triumphs of the Century. Dr. Dr. Gustav Eisen’s wonderful biological discovery, announced in last Sunday’s edition of THE CALL, continues to be the reigning topic of remark in scientific cir- cl he centrosome, his ways and i nerasies, are being discussed by :v}.\'\t@ and past master.

LE CONTE HOPEFUL. The Veteran Scientist, While Not Arrogating Speclalistic Author- ity, Bows to the Discovery. Dr. Joseph Le Conte, the veteran geolo- gist and zo-ologist at the State University, interviewed to-day with reference to the sen discovery and its importance in the world of scientific research. He expressed himself as being only too hopeful that the reports published wouid be substantiated by scientists who stood equal in rank with Dr. n in his particular line of work. tas for nry expressing any opinion asto the merits of the reported discov- ' gaid Dr. Le Conte, “I cannot say g0 50 far as that. expert atall in minute cellu- c work, as in my zoology ies I have been more closely confined ral investigation than to the min- “The subject is altogether beyond the grasp of the average mind,” commented Dr. John C. Spencer, president of the San Francisco Microscopical Society, when asked for his views regarding Professor Eisen’s discovery. The doctor was at first somewhat reluctant to express an opinion, but little by little warmed to the subject, which is one in which he has long taken an interest and upon which he is well qualified to speak. “In my opinion,” he continued, “Pro- fessor Eisen is far in advance of the times. The field which he has thrown open to scientific exploration is a vast and mys- terious one. The positive knowledge of it which the world of science has thus far gained is meager in comparison with the array of facts yet awaiting verification and elucidation. Using as premises the un- doubted facts which he has discovered, Eisen has deduced from them conclusions with which other scientists may not altogether agree. “The truth or falsity of these deductions will be made apparent by subsequent in- vestigations. At pressnt the entire sub- ject is so recondite and its intelligent com- prehension and treatment so beset with aifficulties that for a while it would seem most advisable to await the developments which in due course of time are sure io ensue. *‘[n the meantime microscopists will do well to press their researches along the lines indicated by Professor Eisen.

There is plenty of talent and inventive genius in California i only be brought out. . consider the statement of Dr. Ritter, witn reference to the importance of the discovery, as published in this morning’s CaLL, to be a careful and just one, and I can indorse what he has to say. But, as for my expressing an individual opinion on the merits of the discovery, I cannot do it because the work is outside the limits of my field of activity.” e ey DR. WINSLOW ANDERSON. " He Considers the Discovery One of the Most Important of the Nineteenth Century. Dr. Winslow Anderson, who carefully read the report in Sunday’s issue of THE d: “I consider this discovery by as the most important of the nineteenth century, if it can be proven that this micro-organic centrosome exists 1n the blood of other animals and in the blood of man. Heretofore we have always looked upon the nucleus or the nucleolus as the vital principle of cell life. Now, if it can be proven that the photo- plasmic substance of a cell surrounding the nucleolus does in itself contain vital organism sufficiefit to insure the life of the cell to influence this metamorphis, and es- pecially if it can be proven that other mi- croscopic particies can reproduce a sister cell, then the theory of cell birth, growth and death will be revolutionized. “From a medical standpoint I believe the discovery of great benefit to mankind, asmany of the diseases are caused by mi- cro-organism in the bigod and 1n the blood corpuscles. Take, for instance, the plas- moidium of malarial fever. If the active I»nnc)ple of a cell be resident in its cellu- ar structure rather than in the nucleus then a knowledge cf the fact would assist the physician . in administering the proper remedy, which could act more quickly on the circumference of a cell than on the neucieus or nucleolus, ana to administer such anti-toxines as would destroy the micro-organism of a disease, because the future treatment of disease seems to point toward the administration of such anti-toxine remedies as shall destroy the germs of the diseases. “And 1 sincerely hope that this dis- covery made by one of the most pains- in the making of microscopes. The in- strument has in these days reached a de- gree of perfection which a few years ago wouid have been thought incredible. In corresponding ratio sciunce has advanced, until now we regard with amusement and contempt ideas which a short time since were thought to be axiomatic scientific truths, **To be sure, I have no right to pose as a master microscopist. My +dealings with that instrument might even be considered amateurish by one who had devotea a life- time to researches in the realms which it lays bare. But I have often wished to know more of those minute organisms which muke up the fluid which is called the life of man. Have these tiny organ- isms a life of their own? Are they distin- guisbable in point of sex? How do they reproduce their kind, and what are the laws governing their generation, existence and extinction? These are questions which I have often put to myself, with- out arriving at an answer which I could consider satisfactory. Perhaps Professor Eisen may be able in future to cast some further light upon the great discovery which he has made.” Do S COLORLESS CORPUSCLES. Dr. Elsen’s Discovery Welcomed by Medical Men as of Signal Import. *““The importance of any new discovery pertaining to the blood,” said Dr. Marc Levingston, who, with Dr. William G. Mizner, has aevoted considerable time and study to this line of biological science, “‘can hardly be clearly understood by non- professional people. “When we realize that we can positively foretell the approach of serious complications, by the examination of the blood, particularly with regard to that part known as the corpuscles, it can readily be understood with what eagerness the physicians grasp at any new discovery. “The blood is that medium through which nearly all the nutrition is brougnt to the various partsof the body and at the same time it is the medium by which all the destructive matter produced in the body is brought to the proper channels of elimination. It is therefore evident why Dr. risen’s discovery is hailed with the greatest delight, *It is the white corpuscle of the blood that devours and annihilates the poison- ous gerras which enter the body. Pro- fessor Metschnikoff was the first to state this power of destruction and called it phagocytosis. He (inoculated under the skin of a green frog small pieces of spleen infected with anthrax-bacilli, but® the frog did not show any symptoms of anthrax poisoning. He could not find even a trace of anthrax-bacilli after a time, at the inoculated place. He wanted to know why the germs could not thrive in suct a suitable medium. For thie reason he made a hollow globule of reed-pipe marrow, inserted some anthrax spores into the excavation and placed the whole in the same way as before under the skin of thegreen frog. Inashort while the spores had grown out into long, NEW TO-DAY. EVERY DOT BECOMES . thread-like germs, vegetating and thriving. CLOGGED Why?

In croupous pneumonia we are able to predict a fatal termination days in adyance. Furthermore, microscopical in- vestigation of the blood will lead to & posi- tive diagnosis in differentiating between such diseases as typhus and miliar tuber- culosis. *From these facts it can be seen how important is any discovery regarding the blood corpuscles, and therefore great honor is due Dr. Eisen for his researches in this matter. I've not yet had time rsonally to review his = xperiments, but shall take great pleasure 'n verifying them | at my leisure and in further pursuing the study of the science of bicolozy under the new light thus shed upon it.” Dr. Mizner concurs in these views and says that Dr. Eisen’s discovery will open a new vista in the investigation of cell life. e Dr. Eisen Deserves Credit. Dr.J. O. Hirshfelder said: *‘Dr. Eisen deserves great credit for the painstaking and skillful investigation that he has so recently presented. Not having seen t_ha preparations I am not able to give any in- dependent judgment of his results, but from his report there is no_doubt that his cbservations . will be confirmed by other microscopists. To what extent the inves- tigation will be confirmed cannot be stated, but the investigations are of the highest sclentific order.” e Honored by Sweden. “The Swedish Government,” said Secre- tary G. P. Rix of the California Academy of Sciences, “honored Dr. Eisen by send- ing to him the worms collected during the Nordenskjold expedition to the Arctic a year or two ag A WAR OF WORDS. Superintendent of Schools Babcock and School Director Barrett Exchange Personalities, The Board of Education, sitting as a committee of the whole to try the charges of insubordination preferred by Miss Jen- nie Smith, principal of the Longfellow Primary School, against Miss L, Gilmore, a teacher in the institution, witnessed a warm passage of words between Director Barrett and Superintendent Babcock. Mr. Barrett stated his betief that Mr. Babcock should conduct the case and act as prosecutor. For some reason Mr. Bab- cock took serious umbrage at this, and ac- cused the director of a deliberate attempt WHAT CORBETT ~ WISHES T0 DO, His Desire Is to Make a Match With Fitz- simmons. ANGRY AT “LANKY BOB.” Will Devote the Next Five Months to Gaining the End in View. HERE TO VISIT HIS PARENTS. Brady Has Gone to London, and the Champion Will Join Him There Within a Month. Although he will not say in so many words tkat such is his purpose, James J. Corbett is engaged in a man hunt as fierce brought to light by recent developments | JAMES J. CORBETT, CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. [Drawn from a photograph.] to make his position uncomfortable and with personal animus. The matter was ruled out of order by Dr. Clinton, who held the chair, and the charges were taken up. % Miss Gilmore appeared and admitted the acts stated by Miss Smith, but denied de- liberate insubordination. Miss Smith stated that she believed that Miss Gilmore had acted on the impulse of ihe moment, and that as the teacher had apologized she was willing to let the mat- ter drop. The board decided to reinstate the teacher and drop the charges. DURRANT'S ~ EXCEPTIONS, The Bill Has Been Finished, but Is Not Yet Quite Settled. In About Two Weeks the Printers Will Start In on the Ample Document. The bill of exceptions in the Durrant case has been submitted, but it will take two weeks, anyway, before it is ready for the printer. It will be a bulky document when the printer gets it. 1t was 2500 pages long when the simple exceptions were handed to Mr. Barnes for his revision. He has amended them some tive or six hundred times and has made such additions of his | own as he thought fit and as he was allowed. The printing is going to cost over $600, and it may be more before it is in proper shape for the Supreme Court. The City will pay this bill. The bill consists of a mass of rulings and orders to which the defense took ex- ception during the trial. In the first hundred page s the case is briefly set forth, and then co me the points upon which the defense hopes to prove that Durrant was not fairly tried. The exceptions begin with the empanel- ing of the jury. Jurors not summoned, jurors illegally summoned, jurors sum- moned who did not respond, all help to swell the document and, presumably, to help Durrant’s chances. Then come the trial exceptions to testimony, and to questions, motions to strike out, to amend, to continue, exceptions to rulings, to orders, to exhibits, to everything which bore directly or indirectly on the case— are all included in the voluminous docu- ment which the Citv must print. The excusing of Juror Brown is accorded ample space, and the acceptance of Juror Nathan, who said he had an opinion, is given another page. Mr. McCoy's remark about Durrant’s hanging is a strong card, and the attitude of the newspapers is made the most of. The case will come before the Supreme Court in July next. SACK OF STOLEN GOODS. Grocery Clerk and Friend Arrested for Petty Larceny. Henry Behrens, clerk in Richard Myers’ grocery, Kighteenth and Mission streets, and Richard Ludolph, a laborer, were ar- rested early yesterdiay morning by Lieu- tenant Burke and Policeman Greenan on the charge of petty larceny. Greenan noticed Ludolph standing on the corner of Fifteenth and Mission streets with a sack, He asked him what he was doing there, and finally found that Lu- dolph was waiting for Behrens. Greenan took Ludolph back to the store, and the sack was opened and found to contain several flasks of whisky, a lot of canned goods, plugs of tobacco and other articles taken from the store. Behrens had ar- ranged to meet Ludolph after the proprie- ;o_r had made his appearance and relieved im, | and unrelenting as is death itself. Robert | Fitzsimmons, the lank Australian pugilist, | is his quarrv, and in order more readily to | capture him Corbett is denying himself the pleasure of talking for publication. “I have nothing to say,” is the stereo- typed answer the conqueror of John L. Sullivan returns to all questions concern- ing his plans for the future. “I am here for a couple of weeks’ ;visit with my rela- tives, and incidentally to renew old ac- quaintances. That is all. “From here I go to New York and from there to Europe. I have not been in San Francisco before for three years, and, of course, notice a number of changes and improvements in the old town. My com- ing is purely in a social way, and so far as my professional plans for the future are concerned [ have none that I care to dis- cuss.” There are some near friends of the champion, however, who are not so ciose of mouth as he has suddenly become. They do not hesitate to say that Corbett will put in the next five months in an endeavor to force Fitzsimmons to entei the ring with him. When the “‘Naval Cadet” company closed its season at Kansas City a month ago Brady, Corbett’s manager, at once departed for England, where Fitz- simmons is shortly expected. The cham- pion himself will be in London within a month and, so say bis friends, a forfeit of $1000 will be immediately posted for a match with Fitzsimmons, The idea is that if the Australian does not accept the challenge he will not be able to do any business on the other side of the Atlantic. *Jim is dead set on getting a go at Fitz- | simmons,” said one of the champion's friends,“‘and he will do anything in reason to gain that point. The ‘Naval Cadet’ does notopen again until November, and in the meanwhile Corbett will devote his whole time to gaining his heart’s desire.” could not feel better. He weighs just 195 pounds, and is apparently as quick and wiry as when he gained his title. He is stopping at the St. Nicholas Hotel, but spends most of his time with his brother Harry on Eliis street. THE HOVER THED LT, Captain Bruce Met King Boreas on a Trip to Santa Cruz. Rough Experience of Three Corin- thians While Sailing Down the Coast. “Did we have a jolly, good time? Well, 1 should estimate!” remarked Archie Mc- Donald when askea about his voyage on the good ship Rover to Santa Cruz on Fri- day last. Charley Bruce—**Our Charley,”’ as he is familiarly known to all Corinthians— Archie ¥cDonald and Barry Killilea de- parted from this City on Friday evening, the 29th inst., with a cargo of good (hu- man) spirits and jolly anticipations for that pretty little summer resort down the coast—Santa Cruz—on the yacht Rover. Of course everything necessary. to the wants of the inner man was provided ad hbmxm' for the sea voyage. Charles Bruce, the prince of the Corinthian fleet, took charge of the wheel, and_the crew, com- ggs;d of Killilea and McDonald, kept the ck. Everything went along swimmingly, so to speak, until the trim little yacht got on the south side of the Farallones, when Captain Bruce “smelt” a breeze of unex- pected magnitude in the west. Sails were trimmed and 1} everything The champion looks well, and says he |- made snug for the big blowout that the captain momentarily expected. Gradually the wind increased and one hour after the little craft had passed the island in question the Rover ran her nose into a miniature hurricane. The captain and his crew of able seamen had seen’ many years of hard service on the seas ana_thoroughly understood their little boat. They had taken the necessary vrecautions for a storm, but never ex- Eeczed such a rough reception from old Joreas as they encountered on this occa- sion. When the storm was at its height the trim little yacht received a fearful drench- ing. Again and again the seas broke over her and the water was rapidly filling the cabin. The crew, realizing that hard work was necessary to keep the vessel afioat, buckled down to bailing her out. The sails were almost torn into shreds and, indeed, the outlook for a safe port was anything but promising while the storm was raging. Captain Bruce by good management ran the Rover under the lee of some point on the coast, where the little yacht hove to for thirteen hours, until the storm sub- sided. In the meantime McDonald and Killi- lea kept on bailing, and on Saturday after- noon the Rover headed for Santa Cruz with dilapidated sails and a crew that was thoroughly exhausted and anxious to reach the place of destination. The Rover retarned to this City on Sunday night, and Captain Bruce says that _he hopes this wils) be the last time he will have the ‘“honor” of encounter- ing King Boreas on the high eeas. PR e i TIRED OF LIFE. Henry McCoy, an Old Man, Cuts His Throat With a Razor. Henry McCoy, an old man 66 years of age, attempted to commit suicide last night by cutting his throat with a razor. He lived with his daughter and son-in-law at 17 Morris avenue. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where the wound, which is not dangerous, was dressed and stitched by Drs, Thomp- son and Tice. . I did it,” said the old man, *‘because I was tired of life. Ihave not been able to work at my trade of a bl acksmith for two or three years and I have been living with my son-in-law. They were constantly nagging at me, and to-night he ordered me out of the house. I went outside, sat down on the steps and after finishing my pive I thought as I had nowhere to go the best thing I could do was toend it all. So I pulled my razor out of my pocket and cut my throat. He came out and took the razor from me, otherwise [ would have finished it.” ————-— Sylvester Gets Ten Years.
