VERNON AREA SINCE 1022 Monday, August 9, 1976 More About DIGGING ON MARS the sample was allowed to incubate for five days in the simulated Martian sunlight, enough time for whatever plant life might be there to take in the gases and radioactive carbon 14. Then came the search for the tracer material. Scientists heated, up the soll and whatever living organisims might be in 1t to more than 1,150 degrees fahrenheit. The heat was intense enough. to.

vaporize the organic material' in the soil. The gases and the organic materials were separated and the organic material was checked for the radioactive carbon 14. Scientists found the radioactive. tracer in abundance, more than six times the amount that was predicted "on the assumption that there were no processes going on in the soil," said Dr. Norman Horowitz, the innovator of the experiment.

Horowitz said the finding could indicate the presence of Martian life, but he was quick to add that life was just one of many possibilities. The scientist said a control experiment would be run and that the entire procedure would be repeated. More About COAL MINES before the school bullding.
