Orlqln Of Life Aqain.

Others besides DR.. Bastian have
been working upon the question of the
origin OF life. At the meeting of the
British Association DR.. Benjamin
Moore of Liverpool made the claim
that strong sunlight or the light from
a mercury lamp acting upon certain
solutions can convert the lifeless into
living matter.
Sir Oliver Lodge objected that the
investigator had only succeeded in So
curing potential living matter, a phys
zeal and chemical vehicle which could
be made use of by life.
Most of the specialists dealing with
chemical reactions deceive themselves
in just this way. mistaking the appear
ance of life for life itself.
