A London cablegram dated 21st July propounds a new theory of Dr Crile, of Ohio, U.S.A., as to the origin of all life. "It is an atom of hydrogen," he says, **with a negative electron." This sounds feasible, for hydrogen is a gas, and gas seems to be the moving power of a great .many folk with whom we all are acquainted. But the doctor's elaboration of the theory gives us pause. "Man is," he says, "a collection of countless millions of chemical flames working out still further the evolution in connection with surrounding electric forces. Following that theory, the brain is the positive pole, the liver is the negative, and the nerves are the connection wires." In future, when our temper becomes hot, we will reflect upon the fact that our negative ' battery is out of order, and then ring up "Bill" at the post office and ask him to attend on us with his telephonerepairs outfit.
