Effects On OrganiEmA
DR.. Barnes, who previously had con-
Quoted experiments on the effects Of
the two kinds Of water on the growth
Of one-celled plants, placed In them
protozoans, one-celled animals which
multiply by splitting apart. In from
10 to 16 days the average increase Of

was only 80 per cent. It was deter
mined that the amounts Of gas in each
kind Of water were approximately the

The phenomenon may be associated

Ice in the Spring but with the possible
origin Of life near the North and South
