Watkins BsmimB 3 Thc-rVt No Myslory Lik Egg Mystery The childhood itory ol ' Humpty-Dumpty has a deep rooted implication in scientific fact. The sing-song cadence of this old fairy tale has amused children for many years, but the real puzzle of the egg has stalemated the best scientific minds of all time. The question of putting Humpty Dumpty back togeth er again has never been an swered; not even the combin ed efforts of "all the king's hons8s and all the king's men' coulfl do it, then or now. It is jt Another way of saying flat man's efforts to create ejuth a complicated thing as an l im possible. fVtitrit Complexity Afrt, in a silly egg, is the 3pUntiI for future life, all jVWlJully condensed in a pro- Stettvk cgse, compact, effec Sv fcid self-contained.

Here is mystery, feclut tnd unexplainable, in object so common that we tk 9uy them at any grocery tjtor. A. simple round, smooth object packaged by Nature to - grfWrve the inner components i of juices; within the she'll is invisible germ of life, ready, uncle suitable- condi tions, justed by Nature to breathe nd live and create others of its kind.

What strange un inown force turns the liquids into solid living whole is a question that scientists have not been able to answer. dJungamenially Alike The egg and the cell are Cftndfcmentally alike, both con ' Jfci the nucleus of potential lift Under an X-ray we can - ftclt4he formation of an ani- - mgi iiuiixi a such, iuc eye ' g science ca) penetrate the ogaqup cover and watch a s tng strange process goes on, 4 and tbj embryo chick takes his destined shape. But what c and how life begins is some thing that the machine cannot show; here is the enigma that cancels out all the knowledge we thought we .bad acquired. The next time you have oc casion to look at an egg try if you can to realize that you are looking at the very funda mental mystery of life itself, and in this master-piece of Na ture's handiwork lies the enig ma of the future life upon this globe; for the silly look ing egg is actually living life in capsule form.
