Sugar From Corn Stalks.

Investigating the sugar production
Of corn stalks, r. Vieisaad, a French
chemist, has found that the stem of
the maize planrH normally contains no
sacrsse, or cane sugar, and very little
deStFose, or grape sugar. If the; ears
are removed when the grain begins
to be milky, however, sugars acth-
mulate in the stem, and in TO 81
days after removal Of the ears the
e4tractable amounts may reach TO
10 per. cent Of sucrose and to 3
per cent Of dextrose. While not
more than one-third of the sucrose can
be obtained in crystalliZable form, this
is immaterial in the production of alco-
hol. It is calculated that 130 gallons
Of alcohol per acre of maize crop can
be produced. The growth OF the
plants is fairly rapid, and the period
between planting and the gathering
Of the stems would be about 400 days.

FLYING Gas Cloud.

A cloud Of glowing gas has been
discovered flying through space at a
speed of 1,125 miles per second: :,
Readers may be relieved to know
that it is travelling away from us, but
even If 1t we're coming our way, there
would be nothing to fear, as many
thousands, perhaps millions, Of years
must elapse before it could reach US.
How it manages to remain intact
while travelling at such dizzy speed
is q mystery. Equally mysterious Is
the manner in which it was able to
get UP such speed.
The most probable explanations are
that it has been shot from some gf-
gantic sun belonging to universe OF
stars far beyond those we can see, or
that it is a gradual accumulation OF
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
around US at night.

Canada to Develop Mussei.

Canada is about to make capita
out Of q substitute for the oyster
which is found along the Atlantic
coast, chiefly in New Brunswick. Ii
is a mussel which is by no means a
new article of diet to the people OF
Canada. Its delicacy of havor and
high food value have been much al,
vertised since the establishment OF
government investigation, and experl-
ment. A survey Of the mussel beds OF
the St. CroiX river, which constitutes
the boundary between New Bruins
wick and Maine has occupied the at
tention Of scientist Of the counciI
for three years, and it is expected
that this year will see the satisfac-
tory conclusion Of the research. The
sea mussel cannot be produced in
fresh water, so that there is no pos
sibility Of developing an industry in
the Great Lakes. 1t is believed that
there are possibilities, however. OF the
development Of fresh-water CLANS
there In the near future.

siamese Love Motion Pictures.

The Siamese love the movies" They
flock. to Bangkok's motion picture
theaters. In each Of these theaters
there is a royal dais, with chair for
the king and table for the royal el'
bow and a jar for the royal spittle
(the king does not chew betel nut, but
oil of his subjects do; so the jar is
de rigueurl. The king often comes for
the premiere of a new picture. Usual
ly the film is a wellworn French or
American product, which has been
broken so often and pieced together
so quantity that following the story
becomes an acrohatic feat. The
Siamese follow it eagerly, unmindful
of strange gaps in the plot. But Char,
lie Chaplin may gambol in vain if the
king is in the theater, for the audience
turn their backs ON the screen to looi
ct royalty.

Copper and Calcium in the Air.

1t is. reported that Prof. Hartley OF
Dublin has photographed, in ordinary
air, spectroscopie lines due, among
other things, to copper and calcium. 1t
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and the
sparks of trolley wires. 1t is from
the latter that copper is supposed to
come. The quantity of copper thus
found is excessively slight. Indeed 1t
Is only the delicacy of the tests that
renders it appreciable. Lines due to
lead, carbon, iron, manganese, nickel
and magnesium have also been de-
tected, but the quantity Of these sub
stances is even less than that of the
calcium and copper, the lines of which
are always prominent ill the spectra.

TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS
Not Always Easy to Trace the Con.
nection, Though Sometimes 1t Is
Plainly Apparent.

There are quite q number OF tools
which are named aftas animals, and II
Is interesting to find out the connection
between the instrument and the animal
after which it is named. In some cases
the connection Of ideas is evident and
it is obvious why the tool is so named,
observes a writer in London Answers.
The monkey wrench" for instance,
which is a spanner with movable
jaw, capable Of adjustment, can, by
a little stretch of imagination, be
thought to possess some likeness to
monkeys profile and, true, it deals
with nuts
The donkey engine which is ca
pable Of lifting great weights, may be
considered similar in disposition to
the animal noted for its stubbornnesS
and strength. We can see how the
mechanical crane got its name. ID
the distance it looks somewhat like
that long-necked and !ong-legged bird.
It is also natural that in a country
like the United States, where large
herds Of cattle are found roaming
Wild, the wedge-Shaped iron frame IN
front of a locomotive should be
called "cow- catcher" The carpenters
horse" Is naturally so called because
it has to carry so much OH its back.
The derivation Of the tailor's goose
is not very evident, but no doubt some
long-forgotten. imaginative and poet-
cally minded tailor, in burst OF In
splration, called his smoothing iron
a.."goose" and the name has been used
ever since by his more practical sue
eessors.
The trivet used to support VesseI
over the fire, with it's long, thin legs,
Is naturally called spider" and II
is obvious why spiral instrument or
iron screw Is called a worm" Also
we can all see why the large iron
poker which, being made red hot. is
used for lighting fires, is called
"salamander."
1t is not easy, however, to see the
connection between q crab-a fiat,
clumsy animal-and the pillar used
as a winch; and why a caps5an is
called a "crab" is difficult to imagine.
Again, the bar of iron sharpened at
one end and used as lever for rails
ing weights is named "crowbar," for
no evident reason, and l would
gladly take my hat off to the man or
woman who can explain to nae the
derivation of the name "bucksaW,"
"catboat" and "bullwheei."

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER
Europe, Exhausted by War, Must
Yield First Place in Medical and
Surgical Supremacy.

World leadership in medicine and
surgery no longer is in Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States, as one Of the results of war.
so DR.. George w. Grille Of Cleveland
stated IN his address to the Americas
College of Surgeons in convention az
st. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal. This country made enor-
nous, contributions in all branches OF
medicine and surgery during the war;
he pointed out, being particularly we'll
equipped to render that important
service because of the research and
development work that have been so
conspicuous in the field of scientific
medicine here during the last quarter
Of a century.
With the end of the war European
nations are exhausted and have linn
tied resources and little of spirit to
go ahead with that important WORK,
while this country has resources with
out limit and spirit equal to the op-
pOrtunity. Europe is all topsy turFy'
its famous old medical schools are
shaken. it's great hospitals are ex-
hausted, its professional life shocked
and Wearied. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked diStinctness
when he says: The torch, all but
gone out, has been handed us because
we alone are left the means to light
the way" It was his thought that the
medical schools and research instttu-
tions of the land be supplied with
every resource, their work boadened
and requirements raised, that the
World war opportunity may be- devel-
oped and the problems of the future
met successfully.

SHORN HEADS PLACATED GODS
Sea Captain Employed an Ancient
Practice and the Threatening
Gale Ceased to Blow.

The women prayed, the second mate
cussed and Alex Jacobsen, 'the alba
tross," swallowed pint OF vodka
straight. Still the gale blew furious
ly. BY the Beaufort scale the wind
was e.eyen force, and this in English
means a hurricane.
All this happened March 10, when
the Norwegian-American liner Ber-
gensfiord was steaming westward OF
her run from Bergen, says the New
York Tribune.
Ole Bull is a young navigator, with
hard common sense, who worked his
way to the captaincy OF the steamship
Bergensfjord. He had been in storms
before, but the one that came up sud-
denly March 10 was more than prac-
teal man could handle.
At last an ancient superstition Of the
sea came to the mind Of Captain Bull,
and he sent forthwith for the ships
barber.
Hendrix" he said, chow many
shears and clippers have you slowed
below?"
Twenty" said the barber.
Bring them up and cut the hair OF
all my men, beginning here on me.
There Is superstition. Hendrix, which
my father used to fell me OF. When
storms refuse to yield to man 1t
pleases much the gods If sailormen
part with their shaggy locks. Delliah
conquered Samson with the shears and
We must use them now"
Hendrix brought his clippers forth
and soon the heads Of all the stan
were shorn. With the stearing OF the
hundredth sailorman the wind began
to ease. When every man had parteq
with his hair the barber called stew
ardess to his chair, but just before his
clippers touched her head the furious
hurricane went dead. The Bergens-
fjord arrived here with almost hair
less crew.

Wireless Storm Warnings.

American mariners are to receive
storm warnings by wireless from all
parts of the world under arrangements
perfected by the shipping board with
most Of the high-power radio stations
in different countries. Managing agents
and masters Of shipping board vessels
were notified that the warnings would
be sent broadcast on schedules fur
nished by the ships radio operators,
Because of the number of vessels still
on the seas without radio equipment,
the warnings are to be passed on from
ships receiving them by other means
when such vessels are sighted.-Scien-

She looked at herself long and

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
Ef your Back ID aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots Of water
and eat less meat

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the. body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid,
neys active.
Drink lots of water--you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids In
urine 50 it no longer is a source of irri-
tation, thus ending bladdsr weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightfuI effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became Of
your kidney trouble and backache.
