Brief Nature Studies
PEOPLE who takes seriously the eternal

\
 warfare between humanity and the in sect pests that threaten our dominance of the earth are not squeamish about attack ing the enemy in it's cradle. Last spring the tent caterpillar marched in untold millions against us. There were not people enough fighting on our side and the enemy scored a victory. Tremendous damages was done. Now there is lull, during which the caterpillars are out of sight to most folks. Only the hikers, walkers in the open country, see the egg masses of next years fighters attached to apple and wildcherry twigs. Those who love their fellow-men destroy them.
 A leaflet issued by the new and active fed craton of the Garden Clubs of New York State quotes Fred J. Seaver, Ph. D.: Each cluster means about two hundred or more caterpillars next spring unless destroyed. Why not get the children in your vicinity to gather these egg clusters. paying them small stipend for their services or offering a prize to the one gathering the largest number? This pro cedure has brought surprising results in other localities"

CoIrRT DENIES AN EVASION

The extent to which selfish monopolies will proceed in the effort to evade the law by making use of it's technicalities is measured in part by the recent suit brought by anthracite companies in Penn svlvania, attacking the validity of the state tax on anthracite. The plaintiffs argued that, inasmuch as coal destined for export out of the state composed interstate shipment, it was therefore without the jurisdiction of the state as

There is an increasingly persistent de- mand in this community that officials apprehend reckless and heartless motor ists such as run over and kill people, then speed away leaving them to die. There is an equally strong public demand that when such motorists are apprehended and proved guilty the courts shall make the punishment fit the crime. That is the only way in which the public can be given proper protection.

NEW IDEAS IN THE RADIO FIELD
 By Dr. Walter E. TraprOck.

It was I who first suggested the idea of the radio to Marconi, and have always Kept one or two jumps ahead of the next fellow.
 One of the latest devices which have per fected is the bi-vocal set which can both re- ceiye and send messages. It has always bored me to have to listen without being able to answer back. Onswering back is one ot the divine rights of a person, and 1t IS made pos sible by the Traprock Bi-vocal.
 More important than this, however, IS my latest development, the Traprock Radio Pro jectograph, which combines the wonderful powers of telephonic photography with the transmission qualities of broadcasting. In other words, I can put on the air what amounts to a vision of the scene from which the message is sent. I first tried this out with individual performances and found that in my experimental station l could not only hear, but actually see the actors in musical comedy on New York theater stage. A few days later I transported the entire Yale Bowl, containing S0000 people, into the living room of my home. My aunt Abigail was so over come by seeing so many people in the house that she tainted away, which was certainly a high tribute to the perfection or my device.
 Of course I am not satisfied. My dream, which I am about to realize, is to be able to transport not the shadow but the substance, to send human, physical bodies, through space, with the speed of lightning, borne on the cleo tric waves by the Traprock Radio-sled. will have the first one of these finished in a few weeks, and am now looking for passenger.

ZiNC-IEAD SEPARATION.
Possible Volatlization Process for
That Class of Ores.

From a study of available statisti-
cal data. 1t would seem that the price
of lead will remain high for years to
come, states G. L. Oldright, hydro
metallurgist. department of the inter.
Tor in Serial z5i4, just issued by the
bureau of mines. Therefore, states
Mr.. Oldright, an effort will be made
to save the small percentage (say I'M
der 10 usually of lead left in zinc
concentrates. and as lead becomes
more scarce, more complex ores will
be mined.
1t would appear, then, that there is
an excellent partly proven field open
for the use of the volatilization pro-
cess in the treatment of these ores
Zinc retort plants will find this pro-
cess particularly suitable for the re-
moval of lead from their concentrates
before sending them to the retorts,
for the formation of insoluble zinc
compounds, which is supposed to take
place at temperatures much above 700
degrees c., will not affect the opera
ton of plants of this type. A zinc re-
tort plant already equipped (perhaps
through being associated with plants
making other products) with kilns.
dust chambers and baghouses would
find the rehabilitation process particu-
larly easy to install as it would have
nearly all the necessary equipment
Serial 2544 briefly presents recent
in the rehabilitation
process as applied to the treatment of
lead-zinc ores. which are
found in practically all mining states

of either lead or zinc. Copies of this

The results of a study of the distri-
button of air in metal mine ventilation
with especial reference to flexible

partment of the interior. are summar-
ICED as follows. in Serial 2551, recent

Blind ends" include most of the
working faces in metal mines and, in
general. they are unventilated except
that a limited amount of compressed
air is liberated during part of the
working shift. These unventilated
blind ends constitute by far the great
err proportion of the places in metal
mines at which the workers encoun-
ter the unhealthful conditions which
cause so much more disease among
metal than among coal miners.
The unhealthful conditions in these
blind ends in metal mines are one or
air with excessive carbon dioxide
from strata or breathing of men; air
with carbon monoxide or other pois-
onous fumes from blasting or other
source; air with oxygen greatly de-
pleted; high temperature or high hu-
nudity air or air impregnated with
minute particles of rock dusts which,
when breathed, cause bronchitis, mi
ners' consumption or other diseases.

Use of flexible tubes with small
