Professor Jacques Loeb, the German bi
ologist, whose scientific discoveries have
attracted the attention of the world, be
lieves he has hit upon the path that will
lead to the solution of the problem of
the chemical fertilisation of the ova in
all animals so that life will epring from
them. In a series of experiments that he
has Just completed at the University of
California Dr. Loeb succeeded in demon
strating that the eggs of animals con
taining both sexes can be fertilized and
developed into animals through physical
and chemical agencies, technically, arti
ficial parthenogenesis.

Qommander-in-Chief General Stewart- I never ex
' pected to see such a big parade as this one. ;It has
exceeded all calculations. Words fail to express: my
thanks} to the people for the welcome [accorded the vet
erans. I must thank Commander Cook of%Penycr for
the splendid music furnished by the Zouave band at the
revirjuing stand. •' \ : .
f^eneral Nelson A. Miles—The parade was a very
, fine one. \ ~: With the glorious weather, the grand
hospitality of the people of California and the perfect
police arrangements it is one of the finest parades I
Ivxve lever witnessed. -New York can learn a lesson
from San Francisco as to the liandling of large crowds.
