London, Oct. 21. -Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted scientist, and president of the rniversity of Birmingham, in hie Becquerel lecture to -day dealt with the reeent dieeuseion on the origin of life whiell was started by Professor Stilly.- fer's presidential address to the Britieli Asaoelation for the Advancement of Seiner. Speaking of the construction of living matter ont of artificially cont. bined roolerials, Sir Olived Bald: "It 111:13' 1)0 impossible, but the at- tempt is a legitimate one. No one can poeitivel,v say it will never be SUMS- ful." The leeturer, however, pointed. out one of the difficalties in the way of the fulfilment of the dream that life may come tram a, laboratory -created sub. stanee. Life, he said, demands energy for its peculiar maniiestatiora. En- ergy i4 like gunpowder; life is like the trigger puller that makes the gun- powder work. It seems only to be an orfair or atoms, but there is possibly urtuth ntore in it ellen i4 imagined. Life k probably soniething altogether control, not tt force, but something that directs fore° and incidentally con- trols matter. Profess() fLodge thus de- fined the functions of life: "Whet life liaa to do is to control the spontaneous disintegration of pro- toplasmic cells, to regulate the activity or the gamslia of the brain, and to sus- pend the disintegration of organic ma- terial until some appointed time and then direct it elong determined chan- eel, That is all a sportsman does with the energy of gampowder. He withholds the explosion until the appointed time, and then liberates it in a definite direc- tion. To say that he propels projec- tile, thereby conflicting with the conser- vation of energy, is absord. This pre - cess of timing and aiming is typical of the eontrol of life throughout. "The manner and method whereby life obtains this control we do not as Yet know, but those who say that life cannot ankle material proeessesa, unless life itself is a form of energy (which is faloe--a man is not a form of energy) and thoee who hold that life cannot act at n11 unless energy is at its dis- posal (which is ceatainly true) forget the spontaneous activity of eomples: organrand moleculee and forget the disintegration manifested by radione- tivity. Energy is not a, ,guiding Or controlling entity at all, it is a thing to be guided. Energy by itself iS as blind and blundering as it house afire or a driverless motor ear." 4-6-4 TO PRESS THE FIGHT Ontario Will Try to Prevent Water Pollution. ready there hi a line ot over one hundred out,7:Ide the local land office, and the num- SAILOR DROWNED IN COLLISION.
