Latest Laboratory Triumph

Current Literature: some months
ago that noted British chemist. DR..
F. f. Matthews, placed quantity Of
metallic sodium in test tube with
isoprene. one of the derivatives of
the higher alcOholS. Having prepared
his test tube, Dr. Matthews went on
a vacation. Returning in two weeks
he found that the isOprene was rap
idly turning to rubber. Further tests
revealed that the action is practically
quantitative and that besides being
rapid it is not seriously affected by
the ordinary changes of atmospheric
temperature.
In other words, as appears from the
report Of Prof. r. H. Perkins, pub
lished by the Society of Chemical Re
search in London, this sodium treat
ment of isOprene is a plain process
perfectly adapted to normal prOduc-
ton. Unfortunately for the discoverer,
who applied for a British patent, Prof.
Karl Harries. the German chemist, had
long been experimenting in the same
field He tried to secure a British
patent recently, only to be confronted
by the claim Of a rival. The struggle
for control Of the discovery, known
to the world as that Of synthetic rub
ber, promises, according to London
Nature, to be long and bitter. 1t
may have to go to the house of lords,
since the issues involve what some
authorities pronounce an industrial
revolution.

Friends Of Earn1ers' LHives

IN the February Woman's Homo
Companion appears an article entitled
Two Friends of Farmers Wives" an
extract from Which follows:
One of them, Miss Martha Van
Rensselaer,. bears HE oldest of kniCk-
rrhocker names. and first made her
mark through her able supervision Of
l35 country schools in CaItarauglI-
county. New York: the other. Miss
Flora Rose. abandoned the most fash
iOnablc circles of Denver and san Fran
cisco to teach domestic science in
western schools after due preparation
il Kansas Agricultural college ana Co
lumbia university: and now, as the
leading spirits in the department of
home economies established by the
college of agriculture Of Cornell uni
VerSity. both of these ladies are eX
ceedingly busy. not only conducting
courses for farmers wives and daugh-
ters, but also answering hundreds Of
queries on home problems.
Her visits to many agricultural dis
tricts during her three years efficient
service as a school commissioner had
already familiariZed Miss Van Rens-
selaer with some Of the domestic prob
was delegated by Cornell university to
find out what farmers wives most
needed to learn. In 1906 she instituted
a symposium lecture course in domco-
tic science for the girl students Of the
university. Among the lecturers
specialists in comparatively novel ed
ucatiOnal field-waS Miss Flora Rose,
who. in the following year, joined
forces with Miss Van Rensselaer, in the
work of extending the new courses of
study. In witness of the constructive
value Of their work, Cornell is now
spending more than S150,000 on a
building for the department Of home
economics to accommodate between
300 and 300 students.
These two busy women conduct the
farmers wives reading course, which
is now going out to $4,000 persons
the winter course Of 10 weeks for girls
from the farms, which includes such
subjects as sanitation, dieteticS and
dressmaking: the hOmemakerS' confer
ence, comprising a six days program
of lectures and demonstrations given
durink farmers week, when between
5000 and 1000 country visitors gather
at the college; and a complete four
years course in domestic science for
the women students of Cornell.

Many Buyers Here

That increased demand for valley

ing the last few days is the testimony
Of many realty agents. Some of them
say that this is especially true in the
demand for small tracts of from ten to
forty acres, which We're never before

been quietly dropping into the valley
and looking over conditions before man
festing their desires. This condition
came up before the recent cold weather
on the coast. but it has been more
pronounced since Then. There is also
great demand for valley land in ex-
change for coast property, and some
big offers are being made in this line,

While the cold weather a few days

falfa. later days started growth again
in good shape. and there is general
expectation Of good crops this year.
There are few farms on which the
feed is becoming quite short. and this
is leading to the sale of good many

at this season of the year but taken
on the whole. there is feed in the
