Brian O Meara EEB464 Fall 2015 I place in a glass flask the following liquids or infusions all very alterable on contact with ordinary air beeryeast water sugarbeeryeast water urine beet juice and pepper water then with the aid of a lamp I draw the necks of the flasks to give different shapes I then bring the liquid to a boil for a few minutes until the water vapors leave abundantly by the end of the drawnout neck I then let the flasks cool A strange thing happens that will astonish everyone accustomed to the delicacy of experiments relative to socalled spontaneous generation the liquid in the flasks remains indefinitely without alteration.
