Guessers about the origin of life on Earth last week hearkened when a distinguished Californian announced the discovery of bacteria in meteorites. For lack of precise facts, some guessers have placed life, with meteors, sunshine, starshine and cosmic rays, as an extramundane intrusion. Professor Charles Bernard Lipman, the booming, moon-faced plant-physiologist who is dean of the University of California's graduate division, now thinks such guessers have been correct. From several sources he acquired meteorites (meteors which landed intact on Earth). These he doused, scrubbed, seared and otherwise sterilized, then pulverized in sterile mortars. The dust...

Elderly Bacteria, perhaps 100 million years old, were found trapped in pieces of anthracite coal from Pennsylvania and Wales, reported Dr. Charles Bernard Lipman, professor of plant physiology and dean of the Graduate Division at the University of California. Some bacteria were egg-shaped, others elongated and brilliantly colored. To see if they were still alive, Dr. Lipman put them in a proper breeding medium, found that in a few hours they had reproduced by the million. If additional research proves that the organisms were present when the coal was formed in a prehistoric swamp, they will be direct, minute...
