the piercing radiation Of sunlight which is
unabsorbed in outer space by anything like
the atmosphere which guards man and ami
mails on the surface of the earth.
In experiments at the University of Bonn
in Germany, many years before the war, /
studied the effects Of piercing ultraviolet
rays and X-rays on animals when they were
in their latent state of life
Radiation from X-ray tubes that would kill
the animals in three minutes in their active
state of life appeared to have no effect on
them after exposures of So hours and more.
X-rays are, of course much more lethal than
ultraviolet light SO that the dose of rays
gave these animals would be equal toycars
of exposure to ultraviolet light as might be
found far out in space beyond the earths
atmosphere.
At Bonn, too, we exposed these animals
TO extreme changes of pressure from one
atmosphere Tin which we ourselves live) TO
1000 atmosphcres which is equal to a pres
sure of about $4,000 pounds TO the square
inch. We also went down TO negative pres
sures as low as the extreme vacuum created
for use inside X-ray tubes or in electric light
bulbs of the incandescent type.
Again we confirmed that in their latent
state OF life the Nematodes, Rotfers and
Tardgrades could survive extreme conditions.
Professor b. j. Luyet of the st. Louis
University School of Medicine at the recent
meeting of the Federation of American Soc-
eties for Experimental Biology in Chicago,
described his newest work in which he chilled
living animals TO liquid air temperatures and
revived them successfully.
Professor Luyet believes that the secret

our terrific "ice-box" treatment but they were
also able to withstand extreme conditions of
dryness for long periods up to Is years in
some experiments
The Rotfers - the other animals we used
in our tests of survival under extreme con-
ditions are interesting forms of small
worms. At one end of their body is organ
encircled by small hair-like ella.
Under a microscope these ella can be
observed to whrl around with a wheel-like
motion, always in the same direction. This
motion in water which is the natural home
of Rotifers, creates a whirlpool or vortex
that is sufficient TO sweep small animals or
bits of plants into the mouth Of the Rotifer
The Tardigrades are a most curious kind
OF little animal At first glance they seem
like small worms but they POSSESS four tiny
legs on each side Of their body, and each leg
is armed with little claws that look bit like
small fingers.
The Tardigradcs do not seek and tear
their prey with these claws, as one might at
first think Rather the Tardigradcs are suck
ing animals and possess tiny, sharp singer
which they stick into their food. Unlike bees
and wasps they inject no poisonous venom,
but use the hollow singers to suck in their
food
Tardigrades have been found all over the
world from the hot springs Of Japan to the
chilly ice of the Antarctic continent where
the party of Admiral Byrd recently discovered
them
Nematodes, Rotifers and Tardigrades are
able to survive their ordeals of the laboratory
because they belong TO the class of living
things which can pass into a latent state of
life known as anabiotism, true suspended
animation.

~NE Of the greatest of all mysteries of
science is how living things life as
~ we know it on earth-first arose on
our planet
It once was thought life was unique and
special on our earth alone but this may
not be so
More and more it is being discovered by
scientists that from other worlds may come
the seeds" Of life on our earth, which ram
down on our world in Fog OF Life" In my
own small way have made contributions To
this field Of knowledge, which shall describe.
What these first seeds of life were
exactly no one can say with certainty. Per
haps they We're one-celled organisms like bac-
terra tough and hardy enough to survive the
ordeal OF their long journey through the chill
ing cold of outer space
or perhaps the seeds" Of life, that later
evolved into the myriad Of forms of life as
we know it today may have been complex

state Of life through all eternity until they
happened 10 reach the favorable conditions on
our planet Then the non-rvng chemical
molecules turned into living" forms which
were able 90 grow and reproduce themselves

can scientists. like Or. Wendell NJ. Stanley
az the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re

one way that life may have arisen on earth.
The recent and authoritative article in The

has discussed this subject so thoroughly that
I need but mention it here,
Rather / should like 60 explain how IL is
possible for living organisms - bacteria or
even more complex forms OF life - 20 survive
a journey through intcr-planetary space so
that they may reach the earth.
To accomplish such a stupendous journey
bacteria or whatever other seed" of life
is chosen - must pass through one trial and
tribulation after another which make the
hazards Of the pilgrim in Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progress seem like childs play in comparison

which merely emphasizes the matter over
throws objections which biologists used 10
have that organisms Cannot survive a trip
through er-panetary space. Today We
must admit that this is a possible way that
life may have arrived on our earth
But if the organisms and animals can
survive by what carrier did they come?
Professor Charles 3 Lipman Of the Uni
versty OF California has one answer 90 this
question. Professor Lipman suggests that
bacteria at least are carried 20 the earth
inside metcoritcs which shoot down through
our atmosphere and occasionally strike the
earth. Such shooting stars are by no means
rare Some Of them have been huge

catastrophe which laid waste whole square
miles of forest. have found at Meteor Crater
a number of specimens of animals in the
latent state of life
For some years now Professor Lipman
has been collecting meteorite fragments
grinding them up TO powder and putting
this dusty powder in special culture dishes
that will favor the growth of any bacteria
that are present

so that any bacteria there will be killed.

IL is possible TO set down a list of conditions
which any living" thing must survive to
arrive on our earth from inter-planetary space
shall list these conditions, briefly and
then explain how some organisms, at least
can survive them. Here are the barriers which
must be passed if life is to reach the earth

II any living thing can survive these

speculation at least life from outer worlds
can arrive at our earth where IT might take
root and grow. At first hand this may seem
impossible but ! am not so sure that II
cannot happen I will try TO explain why

heit | know from my own experiments that
some living things can do this easily.
At the University OF Lcyden in Holland
at the laboratory OF the famous Nobel Prize
scientist Professor Kameringh Onnes, have
immersed animals in a flask Of liquid air for
some 20 months at temperature Of 1913 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit.
These living things included not only bac-
terra but also complicated though small, ami
mails called Ncmatodes, Rotifers and Tardi-
grades Despite their treatment these animals
survived!
Nemaiodes are small worm-like animals
which occur widely throughout the world.
some are armed with tiny saber-like teeth
with which they snatch at their prey. Others
are parasitic in the human body and others
are parasites on plants or other animals.
