"THE RIDDLE of the UNIVERSE?

And so, no doubt, it. will be with the sponta- neous germ life discovered by M. Bocke. The microscope can only discover life after it has become objective. What occurs prior to that objective can never been. The real life process, the assembly of inorganic atoms, the mysterious force that initiates the assembly, probably akin to chemical affinity, will for ever remain mysteries about which science will in
erestingly theorise.
There is no doubt that many will think that Mr. Borke has made some mistake. 1 for one do not think so, for his discovery only farther confirms the theory of the unity of Nature.
Professor Haswell called to mind ibai some- hing of the same kind had been done before, hough not exactly on the same lines: "Pro- essor Butschll, of Heidelberg, bu shown the way in which we can form what look very much Ike microscople living organisms in an artificial ay. The method is to mix up some specially prepared oil with a salt-chloride of potash, I

AND ITS POSSIBILITIES.. With regard to the connection of radium with The experiment of Mr. Burke which has pro- aced so interesting a development, Professor
est Rutherford, the distinguished New Zea nder, now Professor of Physics at the M'Gillilan, Fr. 18, 377... Andersen, 19th July, Diversity, Montreal, and an accepted author. y on radio-activity, in the course of a recent terview, said:"Within the last year or no n ent deal of work has been done in the way.of cariny the ground and verifying phyothesis, ad it is now plain that in radium we have before us matter in process of transformation pontaneously; and at certain fixed and uniform dates this extraordinary substance is slowly disintegrating or breaking down its own atom- ic system, and the products of the trans formations in turn Live rise to other forms, Al- ready eight different substances have bean traced in their successive stages of transition, and it is now known that polonium-one of the radio active substances discovered by Mdme. Curie-is merely, an intermediate form of ra- dium. One interesting conclusion to which re- rent investigations have been led is not radium must itself be the product of some other sub- tance now existing, for fadium gives off its Rams o rapidly that, without some confiant source of supply, the earth's stock would long ince have been transformed into inert matter. The evidence so far available points to ura- hum as the present substance from which ra fium is derived, for they are found always in he same fixed proportion in the combinations in which they crur. Moreover, pure uranium, ithout any trace of radiun in it, has been found after a time to transform itself into ra- Alum."
"THE STUDY 18 IN ITS INFANCY," An to the scientific importance of all this, the professor remarked:We have here, as Hald, matter in process of disintegration and ransformation before our eyes-an allogether pprecedented lesson in the constitution and fevelopment of material things. As to any inference that can be drawn from what we have discovered, we can suggest that the heat of the earth, conceivably also that of the sun, may be due to radium The whole study is still in it infancy, but I cannot see any practical use. in which it can be put at the present time."
