WEATHERING TESTS OF STONE
Alternate Freezing and Thawing EN-
ploysd at Bureau Of Standards
in Washington.

Weathering tests, consisting Of freez-
ing and thawing of the specimens until
disintegration occurs, are In progress
at the bureau of standards on twenty
two samples Of limestone and twenty
three Of sandstone. Some of the best
limestones have withstood 800 freez-
ings without showing any appreciable
amount Of decay, while the poorer
grades of this material were dislnte-
grated by 100 freezings, says the Scien-
tific American. Tests on the sand
stones have only recently been started,
and 50 FAR the samples have shown no
great amount of decay.
A number Of limestone and sand
stone specimens are also being tested
by soaking In Is per cent solution Of
sodium chloride and drying afterward
to obtain capitalization Of the salt
in the pores Of the stone.
This produces an action similar to
that Of frost, but more severe. 1t has
been found that limest0nes which
stood up under several hundred of
the freezings were disintegrated by
less than 100 crystallizatlons in the salt
test. However, the actual disintegra-
tion seems to be similar to that pro
duced by the action OF frost. and
hence 1t is believed that there is a
possibility OF using this method as
an accelerated weathering test.

BEETLE EATS MOSQUITO GRUB
Insect Found on the African Gold
Coast Helps Reduce the Num-
Der Of Pests.

A beetle on the African Gold Coast
has the useful habit Of eating the
"grubs" Of mosquitoes. The bug.
tiger beetle with the imposing name of
Cicindela Octoguttata, goes to the
edges of ponds where the grubs are
swimming, and fishes them out Of the
water. 1t helps very materially to re-
duce the number of mosquitoes in any
area which ii inhabits.
One Of the great problems Of mod
ern tropical medicine is the killing OF
mosquito larvae, consequently 1t is
probable that an effort will be made to
cultivate the new beetle extensively.
At present one method of the same
sort Is In use In most malaria eoun-
tries. This consists In putting shoals
of tiny fish known as millions" into
mosquito ponds. The millions" feed
on the grubs.
Science is beginning to take very
deep interest in these balances of na-
ture," for it is probable that. by max
Ing jntiicious use of them, both
health and crops can be improved. The
ravages of the green fly" for In
stance, are controlled by the "lady-
bird" In poor ladybird year the

x-RAY USED 10 FIND PEARLS
Oyster Shells Looked Through 70 Le-
cate Gem Stones, Much Time
Being Saved.

Science has come to the aid of the
pearl hunter, whose task has now
been much simplified by the employ
ment Of X-rays to detect the pres
ence Of the gem which. If 1t means
only trouble for the oyster, spells
money for the man who can find it
and bring 1t to market.
Every oyster had formerly to be
opened before it could be ascertained
whether or not 1t contained q pearl,
says London Answers. When one real
ICES that thousands Of oysters are bar
rem and days may be spent opening
oysters without finding single gem,
the utility of the newer process il at
once apparent.
After the oysters have been dredged
or collected and dispatched to the
harbor, they are now examined by x
rays. If pearl Is present in one of
them the shadow pictures" at once
show it.
Speed in handling IL not the only
advantage Of this system. Oysters
which are shown to possess no pearls
are not harmed In any way, and can
be returned to the water in the hope
that, later on, pearls may develop In
them. Similarly, oysters shown TO
contain only small pearls are replaced
in special tanks, so that the pearls
may be given chance to grow larger.
This should mean that in a few
years time we shall have more. bet
ter and very probably cheaper pearls.
