Another step toward discovering
how a new life begins was explain-
ed briefly In the annual report of
the Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington.
The mothers are animals of var-
ious kinds. Including monkeys
Without harm to these mothers.
Carnegie scientists have learned
how to study their young within a
few hours after mating
The method amounts to a very
small beginning of developing life
artificially without the mother's aid
While it does not last long, nor
carry the development far. It re-
veals some of the processes to the
eye of the microscope.
The report was written by Dr.
George L. Streeter, director of the
department of embryology. He gave
credit for the accomplishments to
numerous sclentists.
The -ultimate aim is to under-
stand better the development of
human life and health. Already the
method has made It possible to
make an unusual human study.
That was not development of life-
such as was observed in animals,
but examination of one of the im-
portant adjuncts. & living mother
cell.
The importance of those first
hand observations lies at present In
the fact that the non-Ifving tissues,
which hitherto have furnished most
of the information, lose some of
the essential properties of life and
those properties have had to be
guessed at.
Ths technique which requires no
sacrifice at the animal mother. Dr.
Streeter states, "marks a new era
in primate embryology".
The animals whose young have
been observed in the • ptin sry egg
stage are the mouse guinea-pig.

key macacus rhesus. In mice the
