SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 30.—This city was thoroughly aroused to-day when sticks of giant powder were found in a room at- tached to the German Hotel in this city. For a time it was feared uat the un- known fiend that has been burning barns here had invented a new method of de- struction and that hereafter he would meake use of dynamite. Constable Louis Hughes was immedi- ately notified of the find and proceeded to make an investigation. Four sticks of giant powder were found wrapped up with some fuse and lying on a table in a room at the hotel. The room Is one used by guests and adjoins the dining- room. The fuse was uncapped and there ‘was no particular dandger in the package. “onstable Hughes sal I find that four men from the Point San Pedro quarry stopped at the hotel last night. It is probable that one of them had the powderin his. pocket and left it on the table after washing and before eating. From the harmless condi- ion of the powder I do not think any | harm was or could have been intended.” Patrick C v, who was burned while trying to save several horses from his | burning barn last night, is resting easily. He was terribly burned, but will recover. The officers have so far failed to get any clew of the barn burner.

Finds Means of Preventing Disintegration in Cells of Sea Creatures. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 3).—Another startling scientific discovery in psychology, which some investigators say, is a long’ step toward revealing the secret of immortal life and by which science has succeeded in checking the death process in the living cell, was announced by Professor Jacques i Loeb of the University of Chicago to-day. The announcement was made at the first session of the annual conference of Amer- ican Psychologists, which is meeting at the university, and was the cause of con- sidérable stir among the many scientists present. Professor Loeb's paper, the subject of which was ‘“Prolongation of life in un- fertilized eggs of the sea urchin by po- tassium cyanide,” gave the result of ex- periments conducted by himself and his assistants at Woods Holl, Mass., last | summer. He said: ‘‘As the resuit of my experiments on | the eggs of the sea urchin and star fish I am of the opinion that death is not due to disintegration in the life cell. Death is an active process, which starts with the first appearance of life in the cell and which, if not checked, leads to an- nihilation. * My experiments show that in an unfertilized egg two processes start at once—one toward life and the other toward death. My object was to find some substance that would check the death E‘znces?‘ and be a preservative of life In e cell. “The egg naturally dies at once unless it becomes fertilized. Enzymic action, or a sort of fermentation, seems to be re- sponsible for this mortiferous process. Hoping to counteract this enzymic action I put some eggs into a solution of potas- sium eyanide and the result was impres- sive beyond our fondest dreams. “Not only was the death process in the a preservative of the life cell. That life was thus sustalned was proved when the eggs were removed from the solution and hatched. I succeeded in preserving life in this way as long as seven days.” ‘What the ultimate results of experi- ments upon the Budding cell life of higher animals will be scientists would not vent- ure to predict. | _ Professor Martin Fischer, one of Pro- fessor Loeb’s assistants, declared that | ability to check the death process in cells | from which the mature animal springs { means the solution of the problem of end- | less life. Scientists are eager to see how far up in the animal scale Professor Loeb can control conditions of life and death. Lingle of the University of Chicago gave the Tesults of his research into the effect of common salt upon the heart beat. He | afirmed with great emphasis that, | contrary to the statement of Professor | Howells of Harvard, salt is the sole agent responsible for the rhythmic action of the eart. | strated that a small amount of alcohol increased the working power of muscle, enabled it to make more rapid contrac- tions in a given space of time and delayed fatigue; that, in short, it made the muscle a much better machine.
