LIFE RESTORED AFTER OVER 3,000 YEARS

Soviet Scientist's

Experiments

PRESERVES INSECTS

"Moscow, April 20.

THE possibility of the revival of organisms buried for more than 3,000 years at a depth ranging from ten to fifteen feet in the region of eternal frost in Siberia has been definitely established by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

Professor P. N. Kapterev, who has carried on experi- ments for the past two years, announces that he has successfully revived insects and a small variety of lobsters born 1000 years B.C.

Eggs and crawfish dating from the same period have been hatched and ten normal generations of crawfish, consisting of 100 of them, have been reproduced. Specimens, when removed from frozen soil below the thawing zone, were placed in a jár of distilled water and when the soil thawed, embryos of the various organisms discovered were revived.

OF TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE

These successful, experiments are sal to be of tremendous scientific significance, bearing the possibility of practical application.

Foremost among them is Mr. C.
