The origin of life has been linked to everything from fish and drifting spores to mice and dirty laundry. remarkable, the mice ... are neither weanlings nor sucklings nor premature, but they jump out fully formed." people believed life could r, arise spontaneously. a Greek philosopher of the sixth century B.C., taught that life arose from undersea mud and men emerged from fish. In the 17th century the Belgian scientist Johannes Baptista van Helmont explained that mice could be produced by a process involving grain and dirty laundry: "And what is more EARLY IN THE 20th century the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius proposed the concept that terrestrial life did not originate on earth but drifted in from remote In ancient civilizations, Anaxi-mande- He believed that spores of living organisms space. moved from world to world, propelled by radiation pres- sure. "In recent years, scien- tists in many laboratories have conducted experiments that have given strong support for a chemical origin for life on earth," reports Dr. Herbert Friedman, author of the National Geographic Society's new book, "The Amazing Universe."

SIMPLE molecules were discovered years ago by spectrographs attached to ground-base- d telescopes. But radio astronomy has lately revealed a host of molecules ranging from water and ammonia to such organic compounds as formaldehyde, cyanoacetylene, and ethyl alcohol. Large molecules in interstellar space once were unsuspected, because the gas there is so thin the collision rate in which atoms stick together to form molecules is extremely low. Apparently dust particles trap the atoms and catalyze their combination into molecules. Each year now brings new additions to the list of known molecules. 3 Big Prizes Kg ' SpS? iSSsP Poulon Electric Chain Saw. fSsSS Needie Weed Eater. Dawing 5 P.M.
