...living creatures harbor a variety of germs. That fact irked Pasteur and a succession of other bacteriologists. They proved that certain germs caused certain diseases. They could grow pure cultures of such germs in test tubes and petri dishes. But never alone in living creatures. Always other germs were present to contaminate the situation and possibly have an influence on the germs under study. Pasteur and successors longed for germ-free ''living test tubes." Last week Professor James Arthur Reyniers of the University of Notre Dame announced that at last he has raised Pasteur's desire-germ...
Although all living creatures harbor germs, they generally acquire the germs after birth. Unborn animals strongly resist the invasion of germs. Therefore Professor Reyniers starts by putting a pregnant guinea pig into a germ-free operating chamber and by Caesarean section taking out her young. Those young he instantaneously puts into a sterile, airtight, air-conditioned cage. They nurse from a glass "mother," drinking sterile synthetic guinea pig milk of Dr. Reyniers' composition. The water and the solid food which they get later is also sterilized before being put into their cage. Portholes let Dr. Reyniers watch the guinea...

With a German named Wrede and a Russian named Roubin, he was arrested at Taito, Formosa, because their ketch The Flying Dutchman was blown ashore suspiciously near two Japanese war boats in the Taito harbor. This looked to the Japanese like a real threat but it soon fell apart and the three were fined and released...
