food'slmtta? In taste to in chtcksa,
and ia -many ways superior to the
choicest quality- of beef. Frogs are
very, easily, raised, aad whe&'tbey are
bred to a largo size one leg will .yield
a dinner for a, large family, at very
small cost, probably not mote than
ten cents a pound. Frogs re now
Quite cheap, and when Increased la
elzo thoy will become relatively
cheaper.
It .seoms reasonably certain, how
crrer, that the process can be ap
plied to all tho food animals, Includ
ing boof creaturos.
X ateor three tlmeB the normal
size will certainly represent a very
great economy In tho production
otbeef, In fact, It has already beea
calculated by tho scientists of the
British Association that such an ani
mal would coBt one-third less than
the present type, owing, to the econ
omy of feeding one animal instead of
three and tho great saving of time.
At present as important Hem in
the cost of raising a steer la the
fact UiAt the breeder muet wait for
three years before the animal
readies a profitable sice for food
purposes. It the steer grew three
times as Urge In three year it
would b equlVRkut to a. saving of
one-third in tim.
After the successful application of
the process to many animals it will
doubtless bo tried on man.
Of course, In its application to man
it must be considered in a very differ
ent light from the mere increase in
bulk.
A previous speaker at the British
'Association, Professor Dickson, had
demonstrated that within another
century the food supply oC tae world
would at the present rate of con
sumption become insufficient to
keep the raee treat Km wil es. Pre
feseor Dawson Turner's experiments
showed that seienee would, have at
least .one way of meeting .the defieit,
Dawson Turner's experiments were
a continuation of those already be
gun by Protestor Roux, of the Pas
teur Institute, Parts; Professor But
ler Burke, of CbrtdaV University,
and many others. At an early 'period
after the discovery of radium It was

sal, ft baa the effect of destroyis
micro-organisms, such" as disease
gems, and. thus it favors' the growth
of the animal. If the radium has
strong germicidal powers, however,
its long-continued application will
destroy the cells of the animal and
the main organism itself. Bat expert
meat has now shown that the radium
rays may be bo modified as to ex
erclBe only a favorable effect on the
animal's cells.
Other ezpcrlmonta havo shown
that radium will greatly' hasten the
development of plants. A tube of
radium St 2,000,000 activity was bur
led la tho centre of pot planted
with oats. A second, pot was ar-
ranged la the same manner, but
without the radium. At the end of
four days the plants from the ra
diumlzed seeds were ,tbre times
higher than tkoee -la the aexposd
pot, but hare waa another, ealgma.
The tallast piants were, those which
were farthest away from the' tube.
Tha radium tube waa then taken
from eae pot ana placed la the
ether. Immediately stae second
plaata begaa to grow, nad within
three days were taller thsa those la
the receptacle from which the ra
dium had been taSen.
Professor Dawson Turner, in creat
ing glgantlo frogs and other monster
animals, was especially guided by
the experlmento of Professor Roux,
of tho Pasteur Institute, Paris.
Roux showed that tho embryonio
cells of animals wero capable of
being Influenced in an extraordinary
degree, so that the character of the
resulting organism might b entirely
cheated. This was due to the indi
vidual intelligence of the embryonio
cell, aa eatlrely different thing
from the intelligence of the adult
organism. The intelligence of each
embryoaia eeU strove to do its nat
ural work in building p the com
plete organism. Roux manipulated
tho embryos by means of knife and
needle. When one cell waa sepa
ratM from its companion cells It
endeavored to do Its normal work,
and it often went strangely astray
the abeenee of its eompantons.

Profossor Dawson Turner proceeded
upon the plan of applying, tho 'degree
of radio activity, which bad' already
been useful in stimulating plant
groyth,to the body cells of the frog
embyro which had shown themselvee
susceptible ot groat abnormal devel
opment In Roux'a experiments.
After many thousands of experi
ments Dawson. Turner succeeded' la
obtaining a combination that greatly
stimulated the body growth ot the
frog. This 'process also appears to
be .one that may be coatmaed ladeft
nitely. Each cell of the embryo has the In
telligence to enable it to develop into
a normal part ot the adult organism.
But when certain cells are activated
by radium they, acquire a different
character and assume , a dominant
force like a man Inspired by some
extraordinary ambition, '
In theory it appears possible that
this discovery may be applied to
man. There would, of course, be
little advantage to bo g&lhpd from
producing an enormoua man, who
would holp to gobble up the avail
able food supply. The desirablo ob
ject would be to breed' a man, ot in
creased brain power.
The stimulation of the. body cells
ot the frog would be replaced byva
stimulation ot the bram- cells ef-'the
