Show uu LIVING ORGANISMS FOUND IN AMBER By International News Service.) IRAKIS, May 10. Living organisms, imprisoned in amber and believed to J be incomparably older than the ml-j crobbs found in Egytlan papyri, havci been discovered by Dr. Gallppe, of the French Academy of Science, and it lsl thought by some biologists that theso organisms may probably be among tho early elements possessing life, to inhabit in-habit tho earth. Amber Is said to have been formed in the very early stages of the earth's histoi'y but Dr. Galippc Is convinced tho micro-orgnnisms could only have been Imprisoned In tho amber while it was in course of formation. As soon as these organisms were set free from their prison they aro said to have manifested very evident signs of life and, when carefully cultivated developed great activity. Tho organisms organ-isms are of courto very elementary but this fact detracts little from the marvel that they aro living survivals from a period far earlier than that of prehistoric man. 00 |
