 The article explains the experiments of Prof. Jac- 

 ques Loeb, of the University of California, which 

 have aroused deep interest in the scientific world. 



If a copy of the magazine be accessible, notice 

 first the five points of the starfish, which corres-

 Tejas; d, all the preceding with the addition of a

 in crescentlike waves; e, Tejas is predominant, in 

 which state this artificial creature is said to " starve 

 to death." 



Now the reasonable conjecture is that the ab- 

 rsence of Prithivi vibrations is the cause of the ces-

 tion, since making the above notes, of finding the 

 following corroboration of my conjecture: In 

 one of the Upanishads the division of the " five-

 given according to their use. Water and earth
