GUN COTTON BASIS OF SILK

According to Count Hllaire inventor

United States. II has for its basis moth

greatest problems he had to solve In
perfecting 1t for everyday use was to
render 1t nonexpiosive.
The gun cotton under the chardon.

ture of alcohol and ether and then
spun through fine capillary tubes by
means Of hydraulic presses.
Other chemical processes give II in
cOmbustible and nonexplosive quail

the transparency of the finest silk from
Japan or China.
It took just 80 years of the 80 which
Count Hilaire has completed to per-
feet his discovery and render II of act

The illustrious chemist and scientist
has just been elected to the supreme
honor Of membership in the French

made primarily to render artificial silk

WANT BOUNDARY LINE FIXED
Both Quebec and Newfoundland
Would Be Glad to Have a Slice
of Newfoundland.

Recent surveys of Labrador, which
have disclosed immense resources of
timber suitable for pulp and paper
manufacture, have led TO revival OF
efforts to bring about determination
of the boundary line between New
foundland and the Canadian province
of Quebec. This line has never been
laid down by actual survey and lis
various definitions as given In Socu-
ments issued at intervals in the last
century and half are so vague that
government officials do not know just
how much Of Labrador belongs to
Newfoundland and how much to Can
ada.
That Labrador is rich In many nat
ural resources. including enormous
water power, has long been known. but
the practicabllity of utilizing its for
ests for paper-making was not dem.
onstrated until the worldwide paper
shortage led to exhaustive investiga
lions of the territory This resulted
In applications by promoters to the
SoNtiilHtIt ioi tiifpt'
limits In Labrador. As these could
not be acted upon until II was deter
mined whether Newfoundland owned
the land In question, representatives
of this colony were sent to London
late in the summer to discuss with
eminent English counsel the prepara-
ton of formal draft of Newfound
lands Labrador claims as opposed to
those of Canada.

HUMAN MAKEUP TOO COMPLEX
And That is Why People Have to Die,
! Says High Authority Presumed
~ 49,. to Know.

"Why do we die?" This question
has been asked of the editor Of the
Journal Of the American Medical As
sociation, representing "all the doctors
in the land" as the old saying goes.
: 1--WE die because we are so com.
plex," says the editor.
So that is the reason that the lay
man must accept. The Literary Digest
intervenes to say that it long has been
believed by biologists that deuth Is
not due to any natural property Of the
protoplasm that makes up our bodily
cells. Primitive cellular organisms
that propagate by division may thus
live indefinitely. The higher organ
1sms, we are told, die because their
structure is Il complicated one.
4 There is a very delicate state OF bal
ance, and it Is easy to disturb 1t so
that the whole structure fails. This is
the price that we pay for the multi.
plicity of our functions. Would you
rather be protozoan and live for
ever; or a man, and die? This is, In
effect, the alternative that nature
holds out to MS. Most Of us probably
will be disposed to be glad that we are
what we are, even If our enjoyment Of
the multitude Of aptitudes and abill-
ties with which nature has endowed
us Is to be brief.-Philadelphia Public
Ledger. ..."l }T@t>n

CLIMATIC EFFECT ON WOOD
Studies Made in Forest Service Lab
oratory Have Been Of Great
Value in Aeronautics. 80,

In the great laboratory at Madison,
Wis, maintained by the United States
forest service for woodworking ex-
periments 4 special study has recently
been made of the effects OF various
climatic conditions upon airplane
propellers.f
In one room, by regulation or
warmth and moisture, the climatic
conditions of southern Texas or arid
Egypt were reproduced. 1t was found
that propellers subjected to these
conditions had a tendency to dry OUT
flatten and become unbalanced.
In another room the climate OF the
Amazon valley was initiated. Tllls
caused propellers to warp badly ana
to change their shape so much as to
become totally unfit for use. -
1t was found that a coat of alum
mum leaf did best service as water
proof covering for pEopellers,! which,
when thus protected, may be exposed
to a high humidity for a long time
without warping. Leaf aluminium is
so thin that from 10000 to 12,Oo0 lay
ers Of it are required to make an inch
in thickness. One pound will cover

1.-THE SEA WOLF" AT ELKO
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

The screen version of Jack Lon
don's famous novel, "The Sea Wolf"
which will be on view for two days,
commencing Saturday next, at the
Elko theater, is said to be replete
with spectacular scenes. A ferryboat
and a fishing schooner actually crash
at sea; ship founders in fog;
"WoIf" Larsen's vessel, "The Ghost"
is beached on desolate island. All
these episodes are thrillingly record
ed by the camera. However, the en-
phasis in the picture has been laid
upon the striking story which is at
bottom a study in contrasts--the
brutal sea captain who believes that
"might makes right" and the aesthetic
peace-loving young idler whom he
rescues after catastrophe at sen.
Noah Berry, Il man of great pbysi-
cal prowess, as well as talented &C.
tor, is said to do the best work of his
career as "Wolf" Tom Forman, !da-
bel Julienne Scott and Raymond HAT
ton are also in the cast. The picture
which is Paramount Aircraft. was
produced by George Mclford.
