And through the twenty-five years that have passed, since the matter of life was first called protoplasm, a host of investigators, among whom Cohn, Max Schulze, and Kühne must be named as leaders, have accumulated evidence, morphological, physiological, and chemical, in favour of that "immense unité de composition élémentaire dans tous les corps vivants de la nature," into which Payen had, so early, a clear insight.

Schulze and Schwann took up the question from this point of view in 1836 and 1837.

His early training was gained from foreign travel, but after the death of his father he exchanged the mercantile career, which he had begun at his father's request, for that of a scholar, studying under G.E. Schulze in Göttingen, and under Fichte at Berlin.

It was Dr. Schulze's furious unbelief, investing him with a certain suggestion of Satan-got intelligence, that attracted Saint X to him in serious illnessessomewhat as the Christian princes of mediaeval Europe tolerated and believed in the Jew physicians.

Saint X was only just reaching the stage at which it could listen to "higher criticism" without dread lest the talk should be interrupted by a bolt from "special Providence"; the fact that Schulze lived on, believing and talking as he did, could be explained only as miraculous and mysterious forbearance in which Satan must somehow have direct part.

"I didn't expect to see you for many a year yet," said Schulze, as Hiram, standing, faced him sitting at his desk.

" "Starve and sweatnone better," said Schulze.

" Schulze withdrew into what smelled like a laboratory.

When he called, Schulze reappeared, disposed instruments and tubes upon a table.

After perhaps three quarters of an hour, Schulze withdrew to the laboratory, saying: "That's all.

When Schulze reappeared and busied himself writing, he looked from the stone face to the face of flesh with fascinated repulsionthe man and the "familiar" were so ghastly alike.

Then he suddenly understood that this was a quaint double jest of the eccentric physician'shis grim fling at his lack of physical charm, his ironic jeer at the superstitions of Saint X. "There!" said Schulze, looking up.

" "Will I die?" Schulze slowly surveyed all Hiram's outward signs of majesty that had been denied his own majestic intellect, noted the tremendous figure, the shoulders, the forehead, the massive brow and nose and chinan ensemble of unabused power, the handiwork of Nature at her best, a creation worth while, worth preserving intact and immortal.

"Will I die soon?" Schulze reflected, rubbing his red-button nose with his stubby fingers.

" She did not insistwhy fret him to confess what she knew the instant she read "Schulze" on the box?

" "I guess we won't quarrel about that," said the old woman, so immensely relieved that she was almost resigned to the prospect of a Schulze, a strong-minded Schulze and a practicing female doctor, as a daughter-in-law.

"I'm going down to Saint X to see old Schulze," he drawled on.

"Schulze knows more than any of 'emand ain't afraid to say when he don't know."

I'm just about strong enough to stand the tripand have Schulze come out to Point Helen this evening.

No use to send for Schulze to come all this distance.

"Yes, I must see Schulze.
