INDEFINITE SUPPLY OF FOOD
Philadelphia Chemists Claim to Have

Artificial production of food by
merely chemical processes has always
been dream of the scientific man. A

Is allowed an organic cell to start
with. Prof. w. H. Lewis and his wife
of Johns Hopkins are reported to
have caused cellular substances to
grow indefinitely outside of the or
ganisms to which they originally be-
longed. DR.. Lewis now suggests that
this may enable men to "grow meat"
on commercial scale. A commenta-
tor says: What DR.. Lewis and his
wife claim to have actually accom-
plished is this: They have taken
pieces of chicken, placed them in a
saline solution and grown chicken
meat They have discovered that it is
quite possible to cut off some of this
chicken meat without hindering further
growth, and the process can be repeat
ed indefinitely. They also claim that
the process can be applied to any sort

1SETSE FLY DEADLY ENEMY
Progress of South Africa Retarded
While It's Propagation Is Be-
ing Combated.

How great menace is the tsetse
fly to the progress of certain regions
of Africa is shown in the report OF
Sir William H. Manning, governor of
Nyasaland. The prevalence of the
fly has made it necessary to close
many important roads against all
forms of animal transport. One of
the highways thus closed to animal
drawn vehicles is the road between
Blantyre, the chief commercial center
Of the country, and Zomba, the admin.
istrative capital, but twenty-three
miles of it, or more than half, has
been macadamized, in order that mo.
tor vehicles can use it, and work on
the remainder is going on rapidly.
The ordinary roads of the country
are impossible for OK wagons during
the rainy season, which extends from
November to May. For this reason a
great increase Of macadamized high
ways is desirable. Unless it is pro.
vided, the newly developed agricul.
tural settlements of the protectorate
will suffer greatly.

Raisinq Babies by Electricity.

Raising babies under the influence
of electricity is the unique plan pro.
posed by T. Thorne Baker, an electrt
cal expert connected with the London
Daily Mirror. Mr.. Baker has made
several successful experiments in rails
ing chickens by such a process, and he
believes the same principle can be ap
piled to babies.

a time" = =, ~ i =
Mr.. Bakers intended experiment is
to place babies near high frequency
currents, which would be switched on
while the child sleeps in little bed
placed inside a special coil. ''The re.
