Finds Wife and Son After 81 Years

Chicken Meat Grown from Protoplasm
Name and Address.

According to q special article in the Bos-
ton Herald of recent date. DIR. Warren II.
Lewis. associate professor of anatomy in
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and
his wife, Margaret Reed Lewis, also a ply
stefan, announce that after a long series
Of experiments they have found a way of
inducing the indefinite growth of cellular
substances by chemical processes. Thus
far DR.. Lewis and his wife have expert
mented only with embry onic chicks, and
their products, grown in test tubes, have
been microscopic in quantity. But the
principle has been established and there
seems to be no reason why developments
should not follow on a wholesale basis.
What DR.. Lewis and his wife have ac-
complished in this: They have taken an
embryonic chicken. placed it in a saline
solution and grown chicken meat without
hindering future growth. and this process
can be repeated indefinitely. This same
process may be repeated with any kind
OF flesh.
Just as 1t is now possible for the subur-
banite TO go out into his vegetable garden
and snip lettuce for his salad while his
wife pinches off the celery and. parsley
for the soup, repeating the operation from
day to day. so when this discovery shall
have reached its full fruition il may be
possible for the housewife OF the future to
80 into her pantry uncover jar and cut
off a piece of spring chicken: from another
jar to get a slice of spring lamb; from an
other a piece OF halibut and possibly. some
diamond back terrapin. In fact, she will
be able to grow any kind Of flesh
| Here is what Dr. Lewis himself has 30
say OF his discoveries:
The value of all these experiments which
my wife and have conducted has several
different phases. For instance, it may
some day have a great commercial value.
Suppose that you had a number of watts
filled with saline solutions, and that in
these solutions you put the muscles or
other organs of various animals not only
while in the embryo, but even when they
had reached the adult stage. There would
be large growths. and these would be edible.
In other words, the salt solutions could be
| turned into lncubators sure 10 hatch and
! from which pieces OF embryo chicks could
be taken every day without hindering the
Increase OF the supply. Thus there would be
a new delicacy.
These possibilities are far In the future.
but that they will become true some day
there is every probability. This would
| prove of great Importance to the world,
as the supply OF meats would never give
out so long as the chemicals could be
secured TO make the solutions in which
the generation takes place.
But the more important immediate good
what the discovery viii do is Of a medicinal
character. In these saline solutions II will
be possible 10 transplant organs OF the
human body. TO observe their growth, what
they feed on, what they secrete the things
which are dangerous TO them and the things
which are beneficial.
