caused to pass between electrified
cylindrical surfaces between which
air is drawn h. means Of a fan
When the intensity of the electrical
charge on the surface Of the plates
reaches certain value the electric
ity will discharge into the air in tiny
streams and the energy thus impart-
cd changes the oxygen of the air int
another form known as Nozone.
Each oZonator embodies a step-up
transformer which raises the supply
voltage sufficiently to bring about
the discharge. The transformer is
located in the base Of the device AMI
above ii ia the ozonizer proper. which
consists of bank of czone general
ing units. each unit consisting OF
cylindrical slas1 tube outside
which is metallic coating
Inside Of the glass tube is a metal
electrode. This electrode is built up
of shallow. perforated metal Guns
mounted on a spindle a small air
gap existing between the cups and
the bore Of tho tube One high
voltage led from the transformer Is
connected to the outer coating Of the
glass tube and the other to the inner
electrodes.
The charge Of the outer coating or
the glass is induced on the inside of
the tubes and a violent electrical
discharge takes place between the
inside of the tubes and the inner
electrodes. This discharge across the
small air chamber changes some Of
the oxygen of the air into ozone
The capacity OF these machines can
be readily increased by adding t.
the number OF tubes.

The Cola Nut.

WITHIN the past forty yearS tho
tonic properties of the cola NM
growing in western Africa, have h..
come widely known and the dried
nuts have been much used. But !,
question has always been left unde
cided concerning the source of th.
tonic. 1t has generally been ascribed
to the caffen in the nut, but not long
ago there was discovered a substance
called colatine. which seems to be
the really characteristic element in
the nut and the source of its tonic
power. This is destroyed by drying
although the caffein remains un-
affected. Accordingly the physioIog-
ical effects of dried cola are different
from those of the fresh nut. The ne
groes understand the difference, how
ever, and always use the fresh nuts.
which, as many explorers have no
ticed, possess a wonderful power OF
eliminating the effects of fatigue.
The cola nuts grow in clusters of
five on a stem and each nut contains
about eight seeds.

10000 field aid reporters, who report
for township or smaller area. The
state statisticians also make per-
sonal field observations and investi-
cations.
!: !; x ::
THE acreage for the current year
is arrived at first by determining
from ginning reports and other da ta
the acreage in cultivation on June
p the preceding year. Estimate is
then made of the percentage of in
crease or decrease in the current
2creage in cultivation as of June %,
compared with the acreage in culti-
walton on the same date the preced-
; ing year.
The latest and most promising
method of estimating this change is
what is known as the field count"
method, which consists of counting
the number of fields in each kind of
crop each year along enough identical
routes considered to be typical of
an entire state, and from these counts
determine the change or shift in
acreage that has occurred.
Method No. .; which is used as
! cheek against the field count sys-
tenn, is to obtain from the crop re-
porters and Statisticians reports of
actual acreage planted to cotton and
other crops on individual farms for
both the current and preceding years.
This inquiry is made twice a year
a third check consists of reports
on the number of acres planted to
each crop out of every 100 acres in
all crops. a fourth check is a re-
port from correspondents as to how
the acres in cotton in their respec-
tive localities compare with acres in
cotton the preceding year.
Other checks are records of fer
tilizer sales, acreage planted per
plow and studies of the influence of
weather, prices and other factors
upon acreage which throw light on
the causes of increased or decreased
paintings.
The monthly crop condition esti-
mates and forecasts are based upon
reports from correspondents as to
the existing condition of the crop ex-

The four shutters are simultane-

therefore, registered, and compa rison
