SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Prof. Classen, of Aix-la- Chapelle, has
brought out a process of making alco-
hol from sawdust. The cellulose is
treated with gaseous sulphuric acid,
and glucose formed, and is converted
into alcohol by fermentation. A ton
of sawdust yields about so gallons of
crude. alcohol or Is gallons of absolute
alcohol. It is expected, however, thai
in time 30 gallons or more will be OBJ
tanned.
Prof. Behring, who claims to have
discovered an effective treatment
against tuberculosis, is the discoverer
OF the serum treatment of diphtheria
Four years ago he shared the Nobel
price of $4,000 with DR.. Roux, of the
Pasteur institute, of Paris. He is
also a professor of the Berlin unlVer-
sity and has for years pursued his ex-
periments on an estate of his own OF
about 1000 acres near Marburg. The
number of animals of all sizes that
have passed through his hands on this
property is simply enormous.
The new alchemy assumes that ele-
ments OF great atomic weight break up
into substances of lighter atoms, but
thus far the only transmutations OBJ
served have been the changes of radium
and actinium into an emanation, Of
which about seven per cent. seems to
form helium. What becomes of the re-
naming SO per cent. of the emanation
is not yet proven, although there are
reasons for believing that lead is
part of the product. In the atomic dis
Indignation the energy given out far
surpasses all previous experience, and
1t is estimated that if a fragment of
radium could be made to complete it's
change instantaneously, the result
would be an explosion millions OF
times more terrific than of gun cotton.

rust trouble, and the melon fields went
down nearly three weeks earlier than
usual; our rust-resistant selection re-
manned green until the majority of the
fields were dead, and some of the most
markedly resistant plants in the plat
remained green until frost, this in
spite of the fact that the seed was
grown on soil that for four consecu-
tive years had been badly infested
with rust, the idea being to develop
the quality under as adverse condi-
tons as possible, consequently. irri.
cation was applied in excess to favor
the development of the rust. The plat
was planted with the seed of nine in.
dividual melons, which had passed the
rigid test of selection on the same plat
the previous season; one row was
planted as Check row: seed from
very perfect melon, but from a field
that had not been selected for rust
resistance. The plat developed nicely
until about August Is. The season
was characterized by frequent show
ers and heavy dews, and in July the
rust spots appeared on all the early
melon fields, and when the first pick.
ing began, about August 10, the fields
were getting brown with rust, as was
also the check row in our plat, while
the other rows were comparatively
free from rust. The accompanying
Photographic record represents the
relative condition of the vines on the
check row and adjacent rust-resisting
row on August 20; the whole plat hav-
ing received the same treatment in
every respect.
When the rust had developed to
some extent on the plat (Which began
at least ten days later than any other
plat under equal conditions), the plat
was carefully studied, and over 100 re-

Cash Value Of Trees.-Elias A.

stately shade and fruit trees are
called to mind, which cost their own
ers not three dollars apiece all told,
but which to-day would not be spared
for $500, $500 or $1,000 apiece. Rail-
roads taking planted lands often pay
from $50 to $500 apiece for trees occu-
plying the same. The writer knows, of
$500 apiece having been awarded and
paid in solid cash to the owner for
large elm trees that stool on some
land that was needed for a certain
town park. The planting Of, these
trees paid enormously for, beside
