The yellow color of balloons has
resulted from necessity, not from
chance or idle fancy. Lieutenant
Colonel Espitallier, a French aero
maui explains that the textile fabric
of the balloon is made impermeable
by layer of caoutchouc, and that
this, even when vulcanized. is rapidly
disintegrated by the violet or ultra
violet light, so that it must be pro-
tected by a yellow pigment to absorb
the harmful rays. A new yellow pig
ment is much wanted, however, as
neither the chromate of lead used in
France NOR the anilin dye of Germany
is satisfactory.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Pellagra, which has given much
alarm in the United States, is a
great scourge in southeastern Europe
and serious disorder in the West
Indies, Egypt and elsewhere. Aomng
its first symptoms is usually a kind
of sunburn of chest, face and hands.
This is followed by skin rash, catarrh
of stomach and intestines, feverish-
ness, lassitude and weakness, and.
as the troubles recures in spring and
autumn year after year, the weakness
increases and often leads to lunacy
and death. The disease has been gen.
orally attributed to eating damaged
Indian corn. Believing ii to be infec-
tious. DR.. ]. J. Wolfe of Durham, n.
Arizona republican., 1910-07-03

c., has lately been seeking its organ
ism in pellagrious blood and has OBJ
tame some spherical bacteria, with
out certain evidence that they are the
cause of the disease. He has found
a similar organism in a culture from
damaged Indian corn. on the other
hand, DR.. :. w. Sambon, a British
investigator. has long doubted the
accepted theory. and in recent visit
to Italy with pellagra investigation
committee, he convinced himself defi-
nitely that Irtlian corn is not a
cause of pellagra. The evidence tend
ed to show that the disease is due
to parasite conveyed by the Simili-
um reptons, a kind OF sandfly breeding
on stones along the streams of pella-
grOuS countries.

Bertillon's dynamometer, the new
apparatus added to the equipment of
the French police by the
famous chief of the anthro-
pometric service, is expected to in
terpret the marks of the burglars
jimmy and makes ii possible to show
whether fOrcible entrance was made
by man. woman or child. or by sew
eral persons. A strong upright steel
frame has a horizontal sliding plate
as a base with a steel plate sliding
in vertical grooves for the top. The
spring of the top plate is connected
to dynamometer capable of regis
tering vertical effort up to one ton
and a smaller dynamometer records
the horizontal pressure on the steel
plate. Tests are made by measuring
the effort necessary to produce on
suitable board or other material the
marks found on doors or furniture.
Vertical or pressure effort is always
greater than horizontal effort, and a
lever twenty inches long gave a hori-
Zontal pressure of 1900 pounds sim
ultaneously with a horizontal traction
of 339 pounds. On a hard walnut
plank a strong man can develop
pressure effort of 500 pounds. Point
impressions are most serviceable in
identifying the tool used by the bur-
