4 Frog Bred Three Times Its Natural Size
by British Scientist Points the u1ay to
Cutting the Cost Of Living in Three

NAL, 1t has the effect OF destroying
micro. organisms, such as disease
germs, and thus 1t favors the growth
OF the animal. IL the radium has
strong germicidal powers, however,
its long-contlnued application will
destroy the cells OF the animal and
the main organism itself. But expert
ment has now shown that the radium
rays may be so modified as to ex-
ercise only a favorable effect on the
animals cells.
Other experiments have shown
that radium will greatly hasten the
development OF plants. A tube OF
radium OF 100000 activity was bur
led in the centre Of pot planted
with oats. A second pot was ar,
ranged in the same manner, but
without the radium. At the end Of
four days the plants from the ra
dumized seeds were three times
higher than those in the unexposed
pot. but here was another enigma.
The tallest plants were those which
were farthest away from the tube.
The radium tube was then taken
from one pot and placed in the
other. hmm ediately the second
plants began to grow, and within
three days were taller than those In
the receptacle from which the IA
dunn had been taken.
Professor Dawson Turner, in Great.
ing gigantic frogs and other monster
animals. was especially guided by
the experiments Of Professor Roux.
of the Pasteur Institute. Paris.
Roux showed that the embryonic
cells of animals were capable Of
being influenced in an extraordinary
degree, SO that the character of the
resulting organism might be entirely
changed. This was due to the indi-
vidual intelligence of the embryonic
cells. an entirely different thing
from the intelligence Of the adult
organism. The intelligence OF each
embryonic cell strove to do its nat.
ural work in building up the com.
plete organism. Roux manipulated
the embryos by means of knife and
needle. When one cell was sepa.
rated from its companion cells 1t
endeavored to do its normal work,
and it often went strangely astray
in the absence Of its companions.
Thus body cell separated from the
head grew a head. A head cell
placed among the parts Of another
egg resulted in a tadpole, with two
heads.

and In many ways superior to the
choicest quality OF beef. Frogs are
very easily raised. and when they are
bred to a large size one leg will yield
dinner for a large family at very
small cost, probably not more than
ten cents O pound. Frogs are now
quite cheap, and when increased in
size they will become relatively
cheaper.
1t seems reasonably certain. how.
ever, that the process can be ap-
piled to all the food animals, includ-
ing beef creatures.
A steer three times the normal
size will certainly represent a very
great economy In the production
of beef. In fact. 1t has already been
calculated by the scientists OF the
British Association that such an ami
NAL would cost one-third less than
the present type. owing to the econ
omy OF feeding one animal instead OF
three and the great saving Of time.
At present an important item in
the cost OF raising steer Is the
fact that the breeder must wait for
three years before the animal
reaches @ profitable size for food
purposes. IL the steer grew three
times as large in three years 1t
would be equivalent to a saving Of
one-third in time.
After the successful application OF
the process to many animals it will
doubtless be tried on man.
or course, In It's application to man
il must be considered in very differ
ent light from the mere increase in
bulk.
A previous speaker at the British
Association, Professor Dickson, had
demonstrated that within another
century the food supply Of the world
would at the present rate of con-
sumption become insufficient to
keep the race from starvation. Pro.
fessor Dawson Turner's experiments

It was found that two eggs coulc
be amalgamated to form one gigantic
creature.
Professor Dawson Turner proceeded
upon the plan of applying the degree
Of radio activity, which had already
been useful in stimulating plant
growth. to the body cells Of the frog
embyro which had shown themselves
susceptible OF great abnormal devel.
opment in Roux's experiments.
After many thousands of expert.
ments Dawson Turner succeeded in
obtaining q combination that greatly
stimulated the body growth of the
frog. This process also appears to

nltely.
Each cell OF the embryo has the in.
teiligence to enable it to develop into
Il normal part Of the adult organism.
But when certain cells are activated
by radium they acquire a different
character and assume q dominant
force like man inspired by some
extraordinary ambition.
In theory It appears possible that
this discovery may be applied to
man. There would, OF course. be
little advantage to be gained from
producing an enormous man, who
would help to gobble up the avail
able food supply. The desirable OBJ
ject would be to breed a man of in.
creased brain power.
The stimulation Of the body cells
OF the frog would be replaced b. a
stimulation Of the brain cells Of the
man.
Perhaps the discovery that
healthy animal can be bred with two
heads on one body may eventually
prove applicable to man. There is
an old saying that two heads are
better than one. and this ought to
be all the more true If We could
combine the two heads compactly
with one body.
What might we not expect IL we
could breed a man with two heads.
