The shape of the brow has indeed a
great deal to do with the exact type OF
mentality. But wonderful intellectually

Life and Its TenaCity
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

In reply to a number of questions re-
garding life and it's tenacfty, here are
results of recent biologeaI laboratory
experiments made by Dr Paul Becquerel
of Paris university:
Seeds and spores of plants were sealed
in glass tubes, All air was removed to
the extreme modern vacuum limit and
then the Tubes were submerged in l.quid
air during three weeks at the tempera-
ture of $40 degrees below zero fahrenheit;
and under -ndoId hydrogen at the
temperature of AIS degrees during a
hours. After 'year~some, OF the spores,
aud after two years ALI of them, Sgerini-
mated and grew.
This is "a remarkable fact-that is,
some of>,the spores required two years
TO awaken from their sleep Of apparent
death in liquid hydrogen. <t
ldfe seems, therefore, at l&ast in ,the
case OF these seeds and germs, to be a
chemical process-the activity OF chemlsfn
was suspended or stopped by the intense
cold. Go put your finger into liquid
air; the cold kills the flesh and the dead
part must be amputated. But life in
sseds of plants. whatever it may be, sur
vived. Humans have no clew to the
nature of life; calling it a phase of
ehemism does not help, since none knows
what that rs. ~
My theory is that chemsm Is a motion

electrons. These are electricity. But
what electricity is unknown. Becquerel
is delving near to the base of nature.
