SUNSHINE and AIR

the high cost of living it is interest
ing to note several recent discover
les made in the field of synthetic
chemistry. DR.. Winthrop John Van
leuven Osterhout, Phi. D., professor
of botany at Harvard University, has
hit upon a plan of making nutritious
food from sunlight, air and water.
Although this process of food max
ing is as yet confined to the labora-
tory stage Prof. Osterhout points out
that many discoveries remained
some time in the laboratory stage
before they could be placed on a
commercial basis. AS an instance he
cites the many doubters of the prac-
teal value of electricity, and the long
uphill road Edison had to travel be-
fore he gained recognition CONNER
cially.
Anent the production of nutritious
food in the laboratory Prof. Oster-
hout, who is in no sense visionary,
but whose manner would indicate a
practical hardheaded business man,
says:
"Analyzing food we learn that the
three chief components are sugar,
fats and protein. Until recently it
was impossible to manufacture sugar
u L,,4
ed the riddle in several different
ways. Iron rust exposed to the prls-
matte rays of the sun through water
makes formaldehyde, since the rays
of the sun acting upon the rust as
contact agent, mixed with the car
bon dioxide of the air and water
makes this powerful chemical. From
formaldehyde certain forms of sugar
may be obtained. Other ways of
making sugar alphabetically are
through the employment of ultra-vio
let rays, radium and electricity.
part of the research work at Har-
wards botanical laboratory has been
to observe the process by which the
plant transforms the carbon dioxide
gas and water together into sugar,
and later into starch, either of which
forms can be preserved.
$50 much for obtaining sugar. Pro-
tein is composed of amino acids. 1t
has been found possible in the labo-
ratory to take the carbon dioxlde OF
the air, water and ammonia, which
is also found in the air in small guam
titles, to form simple kind of pro-
TEN. Now through the combination
of sugar and protein, both of which
have been manufactured in the lab
oratory, the necessary fat is obtain
ed, with the resultant nutritious
food.
"Of course one of the greatest OBJ
stacles standing in the way of the
production of food through this
method is the present cost of max
| ing sugar, which can only be manu-
featured as yet in small quantities.
Our greatest competitor in this I'M
portant field is the plant itself, which
thus far undersells the synthetic
method"
Prof. Osterhout, who has taught at
many of the large universities
throughout the United States, and
has attained an international reputa-
ton as a man of science, is Fellow
| of the American Association for the
| Advancement of Science and of the
American Academy of Arts and Sci
ences. In addition to many other
scientific and research societies he
has been a professor of botany since
1918.

I. John the Baptist Testifies to His
Disciples Concerning Jesus wv. 29-
s4).
/. Jesus as the Lamb of God (v. 29).
Lamb" was familiar to the Jewish
mind It denoted substitutionary
sacrifice for sin. Christ was the true
lamb, to which every sacrifcial offer
ing pointed. He was the lamb which
Israel showed should be brought to the
slaughter Elsa. $50, upon whom the
Lord laid mans iniquity. Christ was
GODS lamb because he was the one
set apart from the foundation Of the
world to make atonement fog mans
siEs q Fet. l 1920. John invited his
disciples to behold the Lamb Of God.
2. The Baptizer with the Holy
Ghost wv. 30-35).
The Spirit descended upon him as
Isaiah said lisa. II ~. John then
knew for a certainty that he was the
baptizer with the Holy Ghost. The
Same Holy Spirit will be given to all
who ask for him (Luke II :13).
8. Jesus is the Son Of God (v. 34).
Being the son of God he is one in ma
ture with God.
II. Two Disciples Following Jesus
wv. $500.
AS result of the Baptist's testi-
mony, two of the disciples leave him
and follow Jesus. At Johns request
they looked. This look was sufficient
to induce them to follow Jesus. A
sincere look upon Jesus is always
sufficient John did not become en-
Yious of Christ's success, but re-
1oiced in it (John 8 3:26-29). All Sun
day school teachers should so witness
that the pupils will look to and follow
Jesus. This is the whole method, the
sum and substance of salvation.
III. The Disciples Abiding With
Jesus (vv. SO, 39).
Seeing the disciples following him,
Jesus made inquiry as to their object.
Their reply showed the desire to go
apart privately where they could dis
close their hearts to him. He invited
them to his abode, where for the re-
mainder of that day they enjoyed sweet
intercourse with him.
~. The Disciples Bringing Others
to Jesus wv. 40-42).
Having found by experience what
fellowship with Jesus means, they go
at once and tell others Of their price
less treasure.
1. Andrew brings Peter Wv. 40-42).
Peter was Andrews brother. A true
brother who has found Christ will go
and tell his brethren. The proper
place to begin witnessing for Christ is
among ones kinfolk (Luke $500.
(2) Philip brings Nathaniel (vv.43-
45). He witnessed to him concerning
the messiahship of Jesus. He told them
that Christ was he Of whom Moses and
the prophets did speak. Christ is the
sum and substance Of the Old Testa-
ment.
The disciples invited others to come
and see. They knew that if they
would but put Jesus to the test they
would believe. Christianity courts in
vestigation John 7:1T.

Scenes Well Played

People who take an interest IN act
ing-as distinguished from an interest
in fiction come alive-will do we'll to 90
more than once and watch, in the
scenes between Miss Clark and Frank
Mills, the extreme fineness with which
the game is played; with what in
Vulnerable delicate strokes and de-
lghtful variety Of suggestion they play
into each others hands, and how they
"break up" look exactly as an actor
in a speaking part breaks up a line.
Scene for scene Mr.. Mills carries the
greater handicap in having more of the
heavy solids TO handle, such "a the
moments when il is necessary to con-
vey, "Wait, I have an ideal" and Miss
Clark, as the feminine equation, has
fewer Of the plans and more of the i'm
pulses, these being, OF course, much
the lighter weights to handle without
words. But, then, it is she who has TO
SUPPLY the sustained vitality Of the
picture, and it is really amazing how
anything so small can have such comic

and sustained in her as the desire to
play is in a child, but she has curbcd
and disciplined it into the most sensi-
tive machinery, and it is her running of

US can tell by the light of brilliant
plot that we have seen a brilliant per-
formance.
After making this point we were
about to begin our real article on
Marguerite Clark and the special thing
she stood for in pictures. But we find
that Lets Elope." has got out of us
rather more than the paragraph with
which we had intended to compliment
and dismiss it. Such a paragraph was
to have been only steppng-stone
toward the attempt TO express that
special personality OF hers, with which
even Lets Elope." does not present
us, that quality suggesting the passage
of enchantment, of the princess, the
beggar maid and the happy hour. No
realistic or worldly play can capture
for us so much as the littlest feather
from its wing and it is so hard to find
a name for that we cannot attempt even

stolen so much of our space. Besides,
while we were still determined to have

to remember that other people don't

a fairy tale we meant to ask for. Yet

First, my purpose is not that Of the
historical presentation Of my hero has
been faithfully made in many vol

Charnwood in a monograph that gives
a mastery analysis of Lincoln's career
and character and is, it seems to me,
a model of what the historians work

play. But while I have, / hope, done
nothing to traverse history, | have
freely telescoped its events and i'm

dramatic significance of my subject.
Second, my purpose is, again, that
of the dramatist, not that of the po-
litical philosopher. The issue Of seces-

which high and generous opinions may
be in conflict. but that may happen
to have or lack personal sympathy with
Lincoln's policy and judgment in this

diversions. he cares less than nothing
about playing with the smiling mil
lionaires whose pictures hang on his
walls. On the contrary his idea of a
pleasant evening is listening to music
or carrying food to some poor musi-

We wished that Mr.. Golden had not
been in such rush. We would have
liked to have him tell us how to be
successful. What with prohibition and

bright armament Of witchery, leading
US on from reel to reel in the belief
that surely this time all that gay grace
and lightness, all that joyous sugges-
tion of a child's simplicity and daring
and impish, unpredictable naughtiness,
all that varied elegance of arch and
significant movement-that this' time
it simply must be leading up to some
thing. Only to discover that there
was nothing in the picture for it to
lead TO. Pictures which, at the start,
promise to be ideally her own, prove
far too willing to fall back upon the
circumstance that it is she who is play

"Three Men and a Girl"-its fairytale
quality. the deliciously fantastic farce
Of its beginning and its romantic wood

gether every quality which should have
made a perfect medium for this par
ticular star, and then, as If in getting
them together it had done its duty,
the picture lay down in the midst of
them and went to sleep. Leaving the
star, with that bright armament OF
hers, nothing to aim at.
The result of this sort of thing is
that some of us have been taking Miss
Clark. as an artist, rather too easily.
People capable OF talking about "merc
charm" are capable of believing that
her effects flower merely by the grace
of God: we are all too prone to take
for granted that she charms us as a
vine dances or a baby looks wise. II
