New Way to Recover Helum

 It Is well known that large quantities of helium are daily going to waste Representative Julius Kahn of Califor- mia has introduced | bill in Congress to support definite program of helium recovery. This bill has the indorse- ments of the President and Secretaries, Denby, Weeks and Fall, and its purposei is to develop best methods of recover- ing helium and to collect and store sup- plies for military and commercial uses. The recent disaster which met the att tempted flight of the hydrogen-innated army dirigible C-2 at San Antonio. Tex, again emphasizes the necessity for using . non-innammable gas in balloons.

Prickly Pear Juice
 Used for Gasoline

X NEW motor spirit made from A prickly pear juice mixed with other chemicals has proved so successful in tests, according to a report to the De- nartment of Commerce, that company with e1o0, ,00o capital has been organ ized to exploit it. This new product was invented by A. c. De Viliiers, lawyer in the Orange Free State. and the formula is secret.
 The spirit has been tested on various makes of cars and is said to be equal to or better than gasoline in power and dexibility, a mileage of PA being ob- tained in a six cylinder car. The cost of nroduction is said to be pence ner gallon, and it is figured that the re- fail price will be about half that or gasoline. All the ingredients are oo- tainabIe in inexhaustible supplies in Sonth Africa. The prickly pear grows wild in many parts of the country ana in fact has become pest, devastating thousands of acres of farm land

TT Is. perhaps, not generally known ] that in addition to exercising fair ly complete control over the contents Of perfume bottles France Likewise pro yides a goodly proportion of the corks Algeria, which Is becoming an in- creasingly valuable asset to France. is a factor in cork production and in the region Of the port of Phillippeyiile there are more than 200, ,0oo.s hectares of cork forests, providing an almost in- exhaustibIe supply on which growing export trade is based. according to Un- gerer's Bulletin.
 In 1921, despite poor trade conditions, nearly 20, GOO tons of cork were shipped. while in 1920 the total exports reached 90, 900 tons.
 On account of depression and low prices it is understood that a consider able stock of cork is being held by pro- ducers and exporters awaiting better market conditions

SATISFACTORY operation on lab- 0 oratory scale of . simplifed and much cheaper method of recovering hehum is reported through the Ameri- can Chemical Society by H. Foster Bain. Director of the United States Bu- reau of Mines. In test run made within the last month at the cryogenic laboratory in the Interior Department Building helium was recovered from natural gas in one operation in sum- cient purity for use in dirigibles or balloons
 This development" Mir. Baln said. indicates that very soon commercial production of helium for lighter than air craft Is probably feasible" Not only will this work insure safety from fire and explosions, but it is almost certain to result in an entirely new type of airship design. The motor, for instance. could be placed inside the envelope of helium ship if necessary.
 The research work leading up to this achievement was directed by the United States Helium Board. The actual work or development was directed by group Of men known as the Board of Helium Engineers.
 Helium recovery. as carried on at Government plants in Texas, results in gas about 64 per cent purity and necesstates a second operation to re- move impurities. By the old method the low frop the natural gas wells is directed through a series of compress sors which reduce the various gases in the mixture to liquid form Methane (illuminating gas). becoming liquid at higher temperature Is taken off first. The remaining gases are then. one by one, liquefied. and helium, having an exceedingly low liquefying point. re- mains. The difficulty with the old method Is to liquefy all of the nitro gen in the mixture.

BY MlLLARD 5. MARkLE

This is the time of the year when
all kinds of living creatures ges
ready for winter Bears in the for
est eat great deal of food and be-
come very fat, so that they may
sleep all winter without starving.
SQUIRRELS are busy storing nuts so
that they may have food for the
winter. Migrating birds are going
south. Winter birds are getting a
thick coat of warm feathers. Peo-
pie are fixing their furnaces and
filling their bins with coal-if they
can get it.
Plants cannot go south nor lay In
a supply of coal, but they do pre-
pare for winter. Just now they are
shedding their leaves. Soon bon
fires Of them will be burning every
where. They have been very beau
tiful, but they would be somewhat
inconvenient for the tree in winter.
The things We do not like about
winter is the cold. Trees do not
need to fear cold. They freeze stiff
on cold days without being harmed.
One can find tiny crystals of ice in
side the twigs and buds. The thing
that hurts trees is drying out
"winter-killing," we call 1t. The
more surface the tree has, the more
rapidly 1t dries out. SO 1t reduces
its surface by shedding its leaves.
This is very inconvenient, for 1t
has to grow a whole new set OF
leaves the next spring.
Another thing the trees do is to
form buds, which protect the tiny
growing parts inside them, which
make the leaves and flowers for
next spring.
Did you ever examine bud to
see what is inside it? Try bud OF
tulip-tree yellow poplar. How
many bud-scales cover it? Is there
a little leaf inside these bud-scales2
How is it folded? See IL there Is
another baby leaf inside the next
pair of bud-scales.
Notice the waxy covering OF a
bud of horse-chestnut. Does 1t not
seem to be way of keeping the
bud from drying out?
Trees that shed their leaves each
fall are called deciduous trees.
Those that keep their leaves all
the year are called evergreens
Pines, cedars, spruces, are ever
greens. How do these frees get
ready for winter? They 10 not lose
their leaves, but make them so
tough and strong that they can

Indian DWELLINGS Varied

For many years. probably for
centuries, there has been great
variety in the dwellings Of the diff
ferent tribes of Indians. The
Iowas, Shawnees and Osages have
for years lived in wood houses,
probably log houses, with a mud
floor, in the center of which was
the fire and above it in the roof. a
large hole for the escape of the
smoke. Later mud chimneys were
made.
Kickapoo Indians live in wicke-
made of sticks about
three feet high, covered with bark
or skins, oblong in shape. with
slanting roof. Pueblo Indians were
the early cliff jewellers Of Arizona
perhaps, for they live in similarly
built houses. Many tribes lived in
the primitive tepee or circular tent.

The Porcupine

Did you ever stand near a porcu-
pines cage at a zoo and hear some
one in the crowd say, Don't get
too close; he might shoot his
ouills!" No doubt you have heard
this, and / believe you might like
to know something about this
strange little animal.
The common porcupine Is found
in America, Africa, Tartary, Persia,
India, and in some parts of Europe.
1t lives in holes which 1t digs in the
ground, and comes forth only at
night In order to feed. 1t eats veg
etable substances, such as roots,
bark and similar things.
The array of spines or quilts
with which this animal is covered.
forms its principal means OF de-
tense. II 1t can not escape, 1t sud
denly stops, erects all its quilts,
and runs backwards against Its adj
versary, striking the quilts against
him by the weight OF its body.
Occasionally a looser quill than
usual remains in the wound or falls
to the ground, fact which evil
IDENTIFY gave rise to the foolish error
that the porcupine could dart its
weapons at it's adversary from a
distance.
The American Indians used the
quilts for ornamenting various
parts of their dress. especially
their moccasins or skin shoes.
