Show I SCIENCE PRODUCES ; ARTIFICIAL LIFE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 23. Prof. Jacques Loeb has discovered In producing artificial life by fertilizing the eggs of the sea urchin that they were best fertilized by the use of acetic or' vinegar of formic acid, followed by common salt. Large numbers of sea urchin larvae, normal and healthy, can be produced from eggs by purely chemical and physical means. Many students of heredity have long been looking for means for raising animals' In large enough numbers for experiments, which should possess the hereditary characters charac-ters of one parent only. Detailed comparisons of such individuals individ-uals with those which derive their characters char-acters from both- parents will lead to results In the field of heredity of far teaching importance. |
