PAGE THREE SCIENTIST FINDS FIRST INDICATION OF LIFEIN SPACE Swarms of Bacteria, Not Super-Men First Evidence of Life Off Earth De ciares Professor Lipman By Howard W. Blakeslee (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK (AP) Swarms of bacteria instead of the long-dream ed "Martians" and "super-men" con stitute the tirst evidence of life In space announced by a scientist. These living bacteria were found by Prof. Charles B. Lipman of the University of California in live sione meteors which fell to earth and he offers evidence that the germs al ready were there when the shooting stars coursed the outer void. This discovery of the lowlieBt known forms of life is not altogether an anti-climax, for lh one respect It tends to verify man's fond wish that life elsewhere may be like what he knows on earth. . , "These bacteria," says Professor Lipman, "are similar to forms com mon on our. earth, and probably Identical with some of our forms." Finds "Bods' and "Cocci He finds "rods" and "cocci", the two great divisions, one long, the other egg-Bhaped. Although among earth-born bacteria the rods include the tuberculosis germ and a coccus Is the pneumonia germ, bacteria are not primarily harmngers 01 aiaeuse, but are the biggest army of terrest- trlal workmen, each making Borne environmental chemical change es sential to life. Scientists have Imagined that en vironments in other parts of space would modify life Into forms vastly different from human ken. The me teor bacteria point the other way. They are In keeping with the great est recent discoveries, such as car bon dioxide in Venus atmosphere of the same kind that humans breathe. Discoveries in the last year about meteors themselves point to this unity. Harvard and Cornell univer sities have found countless meteors coming from outside the solar sys tem. Dr. Harlow Shapley, an astron " omer, suggests as one source that they may be "fragments and frac ' tures of a former universe" and "dis rupted parts of something large, solid and at one time hot." Another theoretical source of some meteors Is other planets. Astrono mers hold that occasional comets may havel been cast off by the outer planets, such as Tempers comet orig inating from Uranus. There Is ft gen eral belief that some meteors are fragments of disintegrated comets. To Seek Further t Before scientists speculate much, they are likely to try to verify Pro fessor Llpman's work. Many will hold there la still a possibility, that his bacteria entered the meteors after they fell, and remained in interior cracks too fine for a microscope to detect' all the time that Professor Lipman with intense heat and chem icals was clearing the surfaces. He cleaned them so thoroughly that the meteors lay for two months In solutions designed to make bac teria grow, but not the slightest sign of life developed. But afterward when crushed, the Interiors Immediately yielded living rods, cocci, and yeast-like forms. The meteors were ones that fell at Modoc, Scott county, Kansas, In 1905; Holbrook,-Navajo county. Aria., In 1912; the 1924 Johnstown meteor ite of the Colorado Museum of Nat ural History, one that struck near Pultusk, Poland,' In 1868, and a meteor which fell in 1882 and Is now In Field museum, Chicago. The Colorado meteor was picked up Immediately, Professor Lipman says, and kept from contact with the rich bacterial sources of the earth. A decision In the case of L. O. Van Wegen, charged with carrying a con. cealed weapon, was deferred "for four or five days" this morning by Justice of the Peace William R. Coleman, after hearing the testimony. The ac tion was taken to allow Attorney T. J. Enright to file a brief In the case. According to the testimony Van Wegen admitted the possession of the revolver, but claimed it wag not loaded. He said he had been acting as a "guard at the News" during the Banks regime, and that he waa hired by Arthur LaDleu, former business manager of the paper. A smaller crowd than usual heard the proceedings. The trial of Mrs. Henrietta B. Mar tin, president of the so-called Good Government congress, her father, C. H. Brown, secretary of the organisa tion and L. E. Pitch and L. O.

(AP) In fluence of the Interests who sell much of their product on the Cali fornia market was all that kept the local trade from showing an advance for all scores of butter.

While there was no open change In the buying price on butterfat here, some Interests advanced their quota tion lc lb. Market for eggs was showing a gen erally steady tone locally although the sales of undergrades at various prices was an Influence that holds down values on the better stuff. Demand for live chickens contin ues in excess ot current . offerings here and along the coast generally. Prices were firmly held at the recent almost general advance. Very scant supplies of turkeys were reaching the trade. Hens continue in best call and are firmly held for quality. Few top birds are arriving. With the arrival of a few head of spring lamb direct to a retailer, there Is much Interest in supplies although operators are unable to get In touch with parties who could make Immediate shipment.
