DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
 HELP IN RADIUI HUNT

Seattle April 1.-The physics department of the University of Washington, under the direction of Dr. Frederick A. Osborn, is aiding the prospectors and mining men of Washington and Alaska in their quest for carnotitc, the ore which lis the source of radium in this comtry.
 Tn the last six years" says Dr. Osborn recently, q have tested more than 100 samples of ore brought in by prospectOrs and miners who are ever on the look out for radium-bearing ere. One man who is exceptionally persist eat in his search has brought twenty-five samples to the physics department to be tested, and each time the tests have shown no signs 5f radium.
 There are two sources of rad ium; cunotite, which is found in this country, and pitchblende, which was the original source, and is found in Australia. The carnotirc ores are usually a bright yellow, and anyone who discovers an ore which bears the slightest resemb- lance to it rushes with it to the physics department to have it tested The Colorado carnoute is said to have been used by the Ma yojo and Ute Indians for pigments in personal decoration. We are glad to be of service to the pros pectors."
 Dr. Osborn has in his possession l5O mUligrams of radium which he got from Germany. It is so small that it can be picked up on the blade of a small penknife. It is valued at $175. It gives eff light rays strong enough to penetrate a sheet of aluminium one-fourth of an inch thick. Three times Dr. Osborn has loaned it to Seattle physicians to use on cancer sufferers,

NO MORE FORMAL DINNERS.

Washington.-There will be no Off
ciel dinners and receptions at the
white house this year, it was learned
definitely tonight, because of the
death Of Mrs. Wilson. The return Of
Miss Margaret Wilson today from a
visit to her sister, Mrs. f. B. Sayre at
Williamstown, Mass, brought the ques-
ton to the forefront.
By abandoning formal dinners and
receptions for the season the president
has avoided what officials say would
have been an embarrassing situation.
A dinner and a reception always have
been given in honor of the diplomatic
corps. At present, however, ~represen-
tatives here of Great Britain, France.
Russia and Japan r not on speaking
terms with those of Germany, Austria
Hungary and Turkey.

CORN SMUT AND IT'S CONTROL.

Wherever corn has been grown for
a period of years the well-known dis
ease known as "corn smut" will be
found to have established itself. Its
distribution, therefore, is very wide.
Considerable losses, sometimes aver
aging as high as 8 per cent, are sus-
tanned by American corn growers, and.
not infrequently the losses in some
sections of the country run as high as
% per cent.
The corn-smut disease is caused by
a parasitic fungus which produces its
spore masses in the form of smut boils
ina the ear; along the stalk, particular
" at the nodes or joints, and less fire.
uuently within the leaves and tassel.
These boils or spore masses are. sur
rounded by a membrane of fungous
tissue mixed with cells of the host.
| Upon drying out, large numbers of
microscopic roundish spores are hber-
ated- These are capable OF retaining
their terminating power over winter
OF longer. They terminate readily in
water or upon any suitable most me-
dunn and produce great numbers of
/ minute secondary spores which are
easily carried by wind from n part
| OF the field to another or from field
to field.
Carefully conducted experiments
covering several years Of research

that eorn-smut infection takes place

TO MAKE CONCENTRATED APPLE
CIDER ONA COMMERCIAL SCALE

The specialists Of the fruit and veg
etable utilization laboratory OF the
department have completed arrange
ments for a commercial test OF the re-
Gently discovered method Of concen-
trating apple cider by freezing and
centrifugal methods, AS a result, o
cider mill in the Hood Valley, Greg.
will this fall undertake to manufac>
ture and test on the retail market
1000 gallons of concentrated cider.
which will represent 5000 gallons OF
ordinary apple cider with only the wa
ter removed.
The new method, it is believed
makes possible the concentrating OF
cider in such a way that it will keer
better than raw cider, and also be So
reduced in bulk that it can be shipped
profitabIy long distances from the ap-
ple-growing regions. The old attempts
to concentrate cider by boiling have
been failures because heat destroys the
delicate flavor Of cider. Under the
new method nothing is taken from the
cider but the water, and the resultant
Droduct is a thick liquid which con-
tains all the apple-juice products n
which can be restored to excellent
sweet cider by the simple addition OF
four parts of water. The shippers n
consumers, therefore, avoid paying
freight on the water in ordinary cider.
In addition, the product, when pro-
perlv barreled, because of it's amount
of sugar. keeps better than raw CIDER
yYhich quickly turns to vinegar.
The process, as described by the
denartment's specialists, consists. of
freezing ordinary cider solid. me
cider ice is then crushed and put into
centrifugal machines sQch as are useu
in making cane sugar. When the clueI
ice is whirled rapidly the oncentrateo
Juice is thrown off and collected. Inc
water remains in the machlne as ice.

To make the concentrated s1rup, the
cider mill must add to its equipment
an ice-making machine and centrifugal
machinery, so that the process IS not

pearance of the host plant above
ground and may develop in any deli
cate growing part of the corn plant.
Usually no evidence of infection is
noticeable until the plant is a foot or
more high.
Unlike oat smut or the shrinking
smut of wheat, or the covered smut of
barley, corn smut can not be controll-
ed by any known method of seed treat
ment. Infection apparently does not
take place at a time of sprouting nor
for some time following the appear
ance of the young plant above ground.
From the nature of the type plant
above ground. From the nature of
the type of infection it is therefore
obvious that the disease can be con-
trolled only by the removal ana burn
ing of the smutted stalks. This meth
cd, however, is practicable only when
corn is grown on a limited scale.
There seems to be considerable diff
ference of opinion as to the effect
produced upon cattle or other stock
when fed upon corn or corn fodder
containing smut. 1t is doubted, how
ever, whether corn smut ever pro-
dnces any direct toxic or poisonous
effects upon animals eating it either
with grain or fodder. It is not unlike
ly, however, that an excessive amount
of the spores may mechanically affect
the digestive functions, and in this
way cause sickness.
