Jacques Loeb haa discovered that muscular and nervous dajoaaea, suctv aa BU Vttua dance. Paralysis agltana, locomotor ataxia, and aleepleaaneaa, nan be cured by administering calcium sails, that Is. audi salt aa are found In well water and' many food. Announcement of thla dlecovery In aclentlflo research by the former head of the department of physiology at the Unlveralty, of Chicago haa Just been made. In one of the decennial pub Heat Ions Just turned out by the Unlveralty of Chicago presa Dr.

Loeb tella of hi experiment on lower form of life and the conclusions auggeeted In regard to human beings. -The subject of Ilia paper la "The Production and Uuppreaalon of Muscular Twttrhtng and Hypereensttrvenea of the Skin." In thia article Dr. Loeb specifically avowa a pathological object In the experiment op thl subject that la, an Interest in the effect on dlaeaeva. Musclee Need SaM. Simply stated, the whole story I that the presence of calcium salts In the mueclea I what pre van ta their twitching that practically all nervous Incases are caused by the absence of the calcium, and that therefor to restore normal conditions and effect a cure the thing to do Is to administer a doae of calcium sails.

Loeb say "Our muscle do not nortnnlly contract or. twitch rythmjcally, but they do so in certain dlaeaaea. Prom experiment I have concluded that we owe It to the calcium Ions) In the blood that onr muscles do not twitch or beat rythmlcally like our heart. "A aerie of observation confirm, the Idea that It I due to the calcium aalts In our body 4hat our mueclea do not show any rythmical contractions or twitching. When we tnjeet Into tha body of an animal any salts that are liable to precipitate calcium we notice almoat Immediately twitch in jrs of all the musclee It seenam.

thentforv rational that In tha pathology of muscular twltchtnaja the concentration of the calcium Ions (very minute particles) the blood should be taken Into consideration." Experiment on Progs. To work out the) problem Dr. Loeb and hla assistants experimented to And the complete Hat of salt that pre cipitate calcium. Ftogs were used by Dr. Loeb In hla Investigation on the twitching orig inating jn tb mueclea Tbo next atep waato find out the effect on "musculhr waa to and out the effect on "muscular central nervous system." This waa don by studying a Jellyfish.

In which animal the nervous system is contained In a ring around the outside. Physiclana have never found a cur for the nervous or muscular disease. Dr. Loeb state thla la his general eon-clualons on the three part at hi in-veettratlona. which follow; "The experiments mentioned In this paper war undertaken with two alms la view.

a practical and a theoretical As rar as the former la concerned It follows, from onr Investigations, that abnormal muscular twitching and contraction may be brought about In aa organism by a redaction In the proportion of calcium (or mag-nee, turn) In the muscles.

Feb. St. Great Interest Is manifested in shipping circles here In tne purchase of the Klder-Demoeter line by the Canadian Paclflo Rallwuy. lt haa lone; been the dream of Hir William VanMorne secure a system by which the Canadian Paclflo Railway would be able to ship both passengers and freight under their own flag from Kn gland to the Orient, by which a man could practically go round the world on one ticket. A dosea years ago he predicted that the time would com when the Canadian Paclflo would be able to ticket a pas senger from Buston Station, In London, to Hong Kong, over steamer and railways' under the sole control of the Canadian Pacific.

If he ha net quit realised that prediction, to-day's news would go to show that the company baa taken a big step In that direction. They will now be able to accept freight in England for China and Japan, or vice-versa, and carry lt wholly over the Canadian Paclflo without paying tribute to any other corporation. Many people believe that It wlU only be a question of time before thls-frelght arrangement will be followed by a similar system for the carriage of pas. eager. Th Steamer Bought.
