ARTIFICIAL PARTHENOGENESIS.

ARTIFICIAL PARTHENOGENESIS. Some months ago the newspapers contained various sensational accounts of certain experiments by Prof. Jacques Loeb, of the University of Chicago, in regard to what they called his new theory of the reproduction of animals and of the origin of life.
