California Scientist Finds Bacteria in Falling Meteorites

Berkeley, Cai, July 27, While science is yet has been un- able to prove the existence of ani- mal life on the other planes, Dr. Charles. B. Lipun, dean of the graduate college of the University of California, bas announced that

he now has ample evidence of the existence at least of bacteria, one of the lower forms of life.

Recent laboratory tests, he un- nounces, have demonstrated beyond doubt the presence of bacteria in the meteorites that have reached earth's surface either directly from other planets or from the interplane-

space between..

und

De Anding of these meteorite bacteria is his latest dis- covery in the bacteriological field, especially In the field of dor-, mant or sleeping bacteria. Provi ously he had announced the finding of bacteria in suspended animation in pre-Cambrian rock, formed 80,- 000,000 years ago, in pre-Aztec and pre-Inca pyramids, built, centuries ago, in old adobe and in coal from deep mines.

LIVE IN DORMANT STATE

According to Dr. Lipman's findings there are many forms of bacterla that go into a dormant or spore -state when there is no chance to feed and grow. They are. capable, he declares, of remaining in this state

play.

of suspended animation for an inda-CONDECODEEEOCESSUSS

finito period of time.

Although a number of scientists have challenged Dr. Lipman's flad- ings of bacteria and spores in mete- orites, he has' undertaken to dissipatu their doubts.

To those who declare they have not been able to find such bueteria, he declares that he has found a great variety of them and that proof of this exists in the laboratory of the University of Californiu. To other critics who content that the sleeping! bacteria would be destroyed by tremendous heat when the

mete- orites rush through the earth's atmo

sphere, Dr. Lipman oints out that the meteorites fall at such as speed that they are in the earth's atmo- sphure only for a period of two or three seeands, Demonstrations, he adds, have been made to show that the heat caused by the friction, does not go through the stony meteorites but merely seurs the surface.

SURVIVE SEVERE COLD.

His experiments, he declares, also have demonstrated the ability of bacteria in a state of suspended animation to exist within 1.3 degrees of absolute zero which he points out is proof of the ability of the spores to travel through heatiess interplane- tary spuce inside of the meteorites.

The latter, for Dr. Lipman, are merely "sleeping ears" for the bac- teria on their joy ride from other planets to the earth. When they get to the earth they are capable of waking up and demonstrating what the bacteria of other planets can do.
