MAKES CRAB IN LABORATORY

Scientist Says He Has Also Produced Fish From Minerals—All Very Small. y '■ 'J?'.*•’ ' Dr. Charles W. Littlefield, speaking before the New Thought convention here, declared that organic life can be produced from chemicals, and showed a picture of a live crab he had made himself to prove it —only the crab wasof the minutest variety. He declared that he had frequently produced crabs, clams, fish and the like from minerals, all, however, of infinitesimal caliber. Facetiously, he said that any time he wanted a crab for breakfast he would go into his laboratory and make one. “I make no clai m to having done anything wonderful. I have simply discovered the beginning and way of life. Remember that matter and energy only will operate according to its nature. Whatever matter may be it is the creation of Almighty God. Matter is just as divine as spirit There is no expression of energy except through matter.**—Portland Oregonian.
