Professor Jacques Loeb of the Uni- versity of California believes that after through a very simple mechanism, as opposed to the theories of other scien- | tists that the machinery is a most cemplicated thing and difficult for men to master. In the opinign of the great | biologist the simplicity of the process is no mere illusion that rendered mysterious and enigmatic by an is in- man to solve. In a lecture before the students of | the summer school in the Philosophy building this evening Dr. Loeb stripped the veil of mysticism from the prob- lem that has been a source of long re- searching by himself and other biolo- gists. The eggs of animals that he has investigated, he declares, do not con- tain any very mysterious complicated structures. They are such that might even be expressed in the formulae of a chemist. Dr. Loeb's views were expressed in a discourse under the subject “Theory of View of Heredity.” He said in part: INSTINCT HEREDITY. “The instinctive actions of animals are hereditary and can only be trans- mitted through the sexual cells. The problem of heredity from the physio- | logical standpoint is in brief as follows: How can an egg, a simple vesicle filled with a viseous liquid which contains scme solid constituents, be the bearer | of such complicated mechanisms as the hereditary instincts? Two views are possible a priori: Either the simplicity illusion and in reality it | invisible mysterious structure of a similar degree of complexity to the adult animal, or the complicated mech- anism of the instincts is the result of very simple ci which do not reguire eany ated structure for their tra All other pos compromises compl mission through the egs are onl two pos- bie suppositior between these » aspects of heredity z number of very complica genious, theories redundant. | “As to the mysterious upposes rende albe! | mitte hle view we atte s into their ele deprive them of much very mysterious before “As nstinets n to sup contains other mys tructures than ¥ze the which in- possibly be expressed in the of the chemi: As soon as we decom- pose the complicated stincts into their elements we understand that a| imple cell like the egsg can be the bearer of complicated instincts. The | | conditions in the egg which are re- | quired for this purposs are, first, polar differences in the chemical constitution |in the egg substanc and s the presence of such subs lin the ess determine heliotropic, | chemotropic, stereotropic and phenomena of irritability. “But the egg is the bearer of another series of heredit qualitics, namely, of the animal's bodily system. Again we must raise the question how such a simple thing as the egg can be t rier of circumstances which determine so complicated structures as are those a of most animals. Again we have, | priori, the choice between two answer: Either the simplicity of the egg struc- ture is only an iilusion and we have in | reality an in ible structure of the | same degrec of complexity in the egg | ondly, we do not require the mysteri- | ous structures for the tra ission of | such complicated mechanis as seem to be necessary for the formation of organs, and comparatively simple con- ditions of the cellular substance in con- nection with external circumstances are sufficient to explain the mystery. SEA-URCHIN EXPERIMENT. “It is well known that the egg of the sea-urchin is at first a single spherical | cell, which, after fertilization, breaks up into many correspondingly smaller cells, from which aggregation of small cells a hollow sphere originates filled with liquid, the so-called blastula. - The wall of this hollow sphere is formed by the smail cells of the egg. At this stage | of development the larvae are already able to swim around. A litile later an increased growth takes place in one portion of this hollow sphere, and the | consequence is that this rapidly grow- ing part is pushed into the interior of the hollow sphere. Thus the new em- bryonic phase is reached, the so-called gastrula stage. Finally, in certain | phases of the gastrula crystals of cal- cium salts are formed and the skeieton originates, with the formation of which the embryo enters the so-called pluteus stage. “What must be contained in the egg in order to cause this succession of lar- val stages which finally lead to the adult form of the sea-urchin? If we analyze the conditions which lead to the origin of these successive stages we see that circumstances of no less simplicity are sufficlent as for the he- redity of instincts. The blastula is de- termined through two circumstances: the fact that the spherical egg is sur- rounded by sea water, and that the os- motic and metabolic qualities of the protoplasm of the egg are of such a na- ture that liquid is pressed from the wa- 18 | all heredity in animals is transmitted ! visible movement beyond the power of | or homogeneity of the egg is only an| contains an | ibilities.

O { Some of the trustees representing the ! districts interested who were present ! were W. S. Dunlevy, G. W. Hazelton, | | R. H. Roane, Joseph Damm, George J. | | Hans, Grubb and Taylor of Fruitvale and Sawyer and O'Toole of Elmhurst. | In regard to the requirements Super- intendent Crawford told them that he thought the establishment of such a school would cost about $10,000 the first | | year and half this sum the second.i This amount of money would pay the{ rent of a building, pay three teachers’ | school rooms. He did not know but ft } might be done for $7500. Ninety-six | puplls were graduated from the gram- | | mar schools of these districts during | | the past year and the necessity of such | a school he thought was very appar- | ent. To.send a pupil to a high school | | outside of the district costs the parents | $50 a year. By establishing one of their own it would cost about 328 a| | pupil. - o ter into the interior of the sphere. In| addition, capillary forces between the | 1ls probably play a role, too, in the| ngement of the wall of the blas- | | tula. Thus the cavity of the blastula | is formed. Therefore the egg does not | need any other qualities for the hered- | ity of the blastula stage than certain | chemical substances and the osmotic | properties which are peculiar to almost | all living protoplasms, and which we | can imitate in the laboratory in artifi- | cial membranes. ““The formation of the gastrula from | the blastula presupposes that two dif- | ferent substances are present in the egg which form the ectoderm and the entoderm. These may be separated | from the beginning, and this wouid | { harmonize with the assumption, al- | ready made in regard to the instinets, | that the different poles of the animal are already ted in the unjcellu- | ponding distribution | lar e of the ubstances, but it is| tely necessary that this | ady in the origi- | quite possible that | ubstances take place which & of a specific ento- nces at a certain place | in the biastula. Here the entoderm is | | formed and invagination into the cav- | ity of the blastula takes place. SKELETON IS NOTHING. | The formation of a skeleton is noth- | | ing but the precipitation of erystals of | Its of calcium. The condi- | | tions for this are purely physical and | | without doubt are determined through | | metabolism and omotic processes. | Through their action such an increase in the concentration of the intracellu- lar or pericellular liquids is produced | in certain places that these crystals must be forced. Thus again, as in the case of instinct, the analysis of the | phenomena renders the assumption of | | mysteriousiy complicated structure in the egg unnecessary. | “8Still another field of phenomena | makes it impossible to attempt to lead | back the heredity forms to mysterious | egg-structures of a highly complicated | certain | i | | nature. 1 mean the phenomena of | heteromorphosis. By heteromorphosis | is meant the substitution of an organ by another one which is dif-| ferent morphologically and physiolo- | gically. Tubularia, a hydroid. con-| ts of a stem which carries on |one end a polyp or head and [nn the other end a root or foot. If one | cuts off the foot and surrounds the wound with sea water from all sides a | new head is formed instead of a foot. | We thus have an animal which has a head on each end of its body. But if | we bring the wound in contact with a solid body. such as the bottom of the aquarium, a foot is formed. If | we cut a piece out of the stem, which is | only the size of the polyp, and sur- | | round it by water from all sides, a | head is formed at either end, but as there is no material left between the two heads, we thus obtain Janus heads, without stem and foot. | “Whenever we are not able to explain inclined to imagine that their cause must be of similar complication to the phenomenon itself. Thus the idea of an invisibie complicated egg-structure was adopted in order to explain the heredity of instincts and forms, and thus the ideas of mysterious structures | of the gangleonic cells are still held | by many in order to explain the me- chanism of reflex phenomena and in- stincts. All these attempts fail for the reason that they tried to explain com- plicated phenomena without having them analyzed into their simpler con- stituents. As long as we consider in- stincts as units which cannot be de- composed, we must naturally imagine the heredity of these instincts under the mental picture of a mysterious clockwork contained in the egg. But as soon as we analyze them we are confronted with very simple phe- nomena which make the idea of a mys- terious invisible structure unmeces- sary.” Crawford. | | allowed to resume her { | yesterda complicated phenomena, we are at first ' FAIR DITORCEE Matrimonial Tangle Hard to Straighten Out and Anna Smith Has Two Husbands ABSOLUTE DECREE VOID ST Decision Handed Down To- Day Places Couple in a Yery Awkward Position ¢ —_—— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, July 6.
