The nucleli showed a toughness peculiar to the real thing. The synthetic cells developed fine, hair-line extensions, also character- istic of life. They seemed to demand food, that is, proteins suitable for cell food had to be fed into the ether to keep up the evidences of life. They also showed “irritability,” which is the scientific word for one of the outstanding characteristics of living things. This irritability was manifest by the fact that voisons Placed in the ether killed the life-like activities, just as it would cause death of live cells. This autosynthetic cell, as Dr. Crile Apple Juice Breathed’ combination of apple juice separated from pure distilled water by a cellu- loid film made use of oxygen like a living apple. That is, the laboratory cell “breathed” after the fashion of an apple. He suggested that the con- centration of the juice in the right manner might explain the life - like ‘« *phenomenon.
