In making his report on tho ordinance Mr. Martin Inserted an amendment which virtually compels tho mayor to appoint five men on thu proposed board. In explanation ot this Mr. Martin said that he had Heard that the mayor favored tho naming or five women, thus giving the gentler sex control of the annual appropriation of $6,000 and tho selection ot a site. He asserts that business men should handle the affairs of me tionru. When anked yesterday when ho proposed to sign the ordinance, Mayor Kelly said: "I do not Intend to attach my slgnaturo to this ordinance until I secure an opinion from Mr. Lambert. As the nmciidmont was mado after tho ordinance had been read the first time It may bo that the document should bo sent back to the council and read three times again.

'oty Finds the Srrrct Profemor I, orb Hxplnln Phy sical Process Accomn&ity liiK Life. CHICAGO, Dec. 31. Prof. Jacques Loetl ot tho University of Chicago today In a paper read betoro a section of tho Ameri can Society of Naturalists convention, made the announcement that ho had discovered tho physical processes that accompany life, thnt electricity and not heat energy Is tho basis of life. Ho docs not claim to liavo solved tho problem of "what Is life," but to have proved a theory which overthrows a fundamental portion ot tho teachings ot text books on physlcology. "Tho energy of foodstuffs," Prof. I.oeb said, as a conclusion, "and tho motions of heat, aro not, after all, duo to thn pro duction of heat, but to tho chemical energy In oloctrlcal'y charged molecules," aud again he put It this way: "A part ot the chemical energy of foodstuff Is transformed Into electrical energy, which In turn, gives energy to tho muscles aud organs ot tho body." Dr. Loeb described his experiments with a Jelly-tlsh nml explained that when ho placed tho fish in a solution of electrically charged, such aa salt, It responded, while, when ho subjected It to a solution that was a non-conductor, It did not respond. Pro ceeding from turthcr experiments ho found: First, that tho muscles contract ryth inctlcnlly In solutions which had charges In them; and, second, that tho contraction ot tho muscles depended on tho number ot churges on tho different solutions.
