LAYERS of Gases on Sun

The atmosphere of the sun. upon
the heat of which all life upon earth
depends, can only be explored by
wireless messages, DIR. Charles f.. st.
John of the Mount Wilson obserya-
tory, Pasadena, Cal. told members of
the American Philosophical society,
meeting in Philadelphia. The inter
probation of these messages, received
as light, is the task of the astronomer,
he said.
Doctor st. John took his audience
on an imaginary journey as far to-
ward the real surface of the sun as
the astronomers have been able to
penetrate. Warning them to expect a
warm climate, he said that after pass
ing through the silvery white corona,
which may extend from the sun for
several hundred thousand miles, they
would find themselves in an unthink-
ably rare atmosphere of ionized cal
cium, the metal which is the basis of
limestone, and then successfully
through layers of the gases of other
elements, hydrogen, helium, magnesi-
UNI, titanium, sodium, calcium and
iron in succession like the layers of
an onion.
Finally, he said, they would reach
the lowest circle so far explored,
where they would find the atmosphere
containing all the elements known to
exist in the sun, the pressure that of
a partial vacuum, and the tempera
ture about 10000 degrees Fahrenheit
The wind velocities would average
about 1000 miles an hour, Professor
st. John said.

tatoes should always be accompanied
by other foods to supply the lack of
proteins.
This necessity has been taken care
of by most people apparently by in
tuition. Ireland for example, con-
sumes quantities of milk; the Scotch,
cheese and oatmeal in considerable
amounts; the Germans, cheese and
allied products. In England and
America a large per capita consump-
ton of meat has supplied the greater
part of the proteins required.

POTATOES VALUABLE
AND POPULAR FOOD

The total potato crop Of the United
States in 1922 was over $50, 100000
bushels. Out of the crop 1896, 565
bushels were exported, leaving 448-
288.455 bushels for consumption in
this country. In t~abulating the foods
consumed in New York city it was
found that the potato ranked third in
the quantity consumed. The only crop
which exceed it in value is wheat and
rye.
The popularity of the potato is
well deserved because Of its nutritive
qualities. The richness of the potato
in starch is its most striking chemical
characteristic. The starch grain of
the potato is of especially large size
and seems to be more easily attacked
by ferments than most forms Of
starch.
The most important mineral ingre-
dents of potatoes are the salts of
potash. The potato is one Of the chief
sources from which We obtain our
Of these salts.
The potato, like all tubers, may
have its composition and subsequent
its nutritive value profoundly
modified by the mode in which it is
cooked. According to Sherman, the
'aw potato contains all three vita
nins. After being boiled Is minutes,
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-10-23

it contains only vitamins B and c..
To retain the highest amount Of
nourishment, potatoes should be
cooked in their skins. SO prepared
they have been found, by analysis, tc
be twice as rich in potash salts as
those peeled before cooking. The ex-
ception may be made for new po-
~tatoes. which should have their loose
outer skin rubbed off with a cloth or
stiff brush before cooking.
Potatoes, when properly cooked,
are easily digested, and they have
been found to leave the stomach
quite rapidly, even speedily
than bread. In baking potatoes very
little nourishment is lost. The starch
is thoroughly cooked as the tempera-
ture attained in baking is several de-
above boiling point. Unless they
are to be used Immediately, the baked
potato should be broken open so as
to allow the steam to escape and
thus prevent the potato from becom-
ing soggy.
Concerning the nutritive quality Of
potatoes, Sherman says that the
ordinary potato, while superior to
patent flours, ranks with the whole
grain in nutritive properties.
While potatoes are valuable as a
God, they cannot be considered as a
.omplete food. On this account. po-
