LINKS PAPA NOTE WITH AIS CHANCES
oue Gxgynan Thinks t Kills
 Smiths Opportunity

New York, Jan. F tCP)-The en- cyclical issued by Pope Plus XI this week was described by leading mem- bers of the Protestant clergy here today as ''far-feaching and of vital lmportance." Several prominent ministers, however, saw it as de- triment to political anl religious pro- gress.
 The Rev. Charles Francis Potter. minister of he Church of the Divine Paternity. saw as one of its effects the destruction of Governor Al Smiths chances for election to the presidency.
 '.The deciding votes," he explained ''are held Dy hitherto friendly Pro- te.tants who will think themselves insulted by this letter, Every rural Protestant church in America will be agitated next Sunday
 Dr. Potter said the encyclical would strengthen liberal religious movements throughout the world, because it's "uncompromising ortho- doxy will drive many to the oppo- Hte extreme"
 "Finally and most important Dr. Potter concluded, "the encyclical will result in the weakening of all Christianity. because it destroys any basis of Christian unity whatever"
 Cardinal Hayes was sought for his views on the papal document, but 1t was said by his secretary that "His Eminence has not seen the text and would not wish to make any com mont at this time."
 BiShop W. Manning of the cathe- Aral of St, John the Divine. had no statement to make, his secretary said.
 The Rev. Christian F. Reisner' pastor of the Chelsea Methodist Episcopal church, believed that "no- body can find fault with the posi- ton taken by the Pope. although il does discourage any hope for an ul- timate one church of the world.
 But doubt that one church would be good for the world he added. Tt might be a mistake to have either all Catholic or ell Protestant churches"

London Cobbla Has Literary
 Tendencies

London, Aug. P)-The rhythm Of cobb!er's hammer taps and the regular movement of the awl have provided the inspiration for one of Londons best known verse writers-the cobbler poet, Henry Burns, of Golborne road.
 Endowed with the name Of one of the best known of all poets, Hen " Burns has produced several vol umes of verse planned and written while his hammer rose and fell over the sole of shoe and his awl piled in and out of the leather.
 King Edward, Queen Alexandra and the present King George and Queen Mary have all accepted copies of his verses. The sale of volume of his war poems was large enough to enable him to as- sist war charities. He sold 1e,ooo copies of his "1n Memoriam" verses on the death of Marie Lloyd.
 Burns did not begin to write un- til he was A years old. Since then, for the last 2S years. he has writ ten at least one poem,a week. Be- fore he began to write he was an enthusiastic reader Of verse.
 Though he Is 72 years old. Burns Is still a cobbler. He continues to add to his 1,5o0 poems at least one a week,

Kiel. Germany, Aug. R-Polar exploration by means of subma rines suggested by Captain George H. Wilkins during his visit to Berlin, is regarded by German scientists as within the range of practical possibility.
 . Dr. Oscar Liskowsy, Of the Polar Exploration Archives, here recalls the investigations of pr. Anschuetz- kaempfe, the inventor of the gyro- compass, who startled the world about 25 years ago with his theory that the submarine might succeed where airplanes and airships failed owing to the latters dependence upon the weather.
 Dr. Liskowsky suggests that the observation by Captain Wilkins of much open water between Alaska and spitzbergen may have prompt ed him to the idea that the subma- rine would be a useful adjunct for exploration purposes. Against this stands Amundsen's observation of

GAS TAKEN FROM IRON IS USED
Invaluable in Making Better
 Machinery Metal

East Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. Cp Scientists cannot wiring blood from q stone, but there is one in East Pittsburgh who gets fuel gas out of cast iron.
 N. A. Zeigler of the Westinghouse research staff does the trick by melting the metal in high ire quency induction vacuum furnace, a process that draws off all the gaseaus impurities. When these gases are captured and measured, some interesting observations can be made.
 An old flivver piston. for in stance. gave up thirty-three times it's own volume in fuel gas Wrought iron and steel yielded lesser amounts. 4 couple of cubic feet Of cast iron, it seems can furnish about tea horsepower Of energy for twelve minutes. The vapor burns with clear flame and has a heat ing value of three-quarters that of Illuminating gas.
 Lest the layman expect that he will soon be able to squeeze power out Of old tove griddles and grate shakers, Ziegler hastens to explain that the present cost of removing the gas is considerably greater than its value as fuel. The gas, as matter of fact, must be regard ed as an interesting but inconse- ouential waste product in the process of obtaining better iron for manufacture into machinery.
 The metal from which the gas has been taken apparently is more satisfactory for making magnets than is ordinary iron. It has a bril- liant. lasting sheen; a sample turn. cd out in the laboratory several months ago still holds a natural gunmctal polish.
 The theory that there was some gas in iron had been accepted for years, but it had never been thor oughly investigated. partly because no means of making the extraction had been found. The induction fu<- mace. invented by Ziegler. solved the puzzle.
 This furnace is rather a paradoxi- cal contrivance, for although it melts the hardest metal in a jiffy, it will not scorch a cigaret paper nor burn the hand. Its walls are

gigantic solid ice fields between spltzbergen and the pole.
 The question, therefore, is whether the range of action of a submarine would be long enough to sub-navlgate even the largest known icefield, and whether open water overhead could be discov- cred with speed and certainty.
 Dr. Anschuetz-Koempfe in the course of his researches in the pack ice region mort h Of Spitzbergen and around Franz Josefs Land found that the thickness of arctic ice varied from ' to 73 feet, and he considered that a submarine trav- cling at depth of 13o feet below the surface could expect a wholly safe passage. Modern submarines can operate at much greater depths.
 By means Of powerful search lights, the presence of open water above could be easily detected. Even at 13o feet down, the suns rays can be dimly iiscerned through water without any arti- ficial aid

RADIO ECHOES ARE
 UNUSUAL PROBLEMS
Scientists Trying to Find Out
 What They Are

Chiea go, Aug. 3-Radio "echoes, ' which scientists have been unable tc explain, are being recorded nightly at the University Of Chicago on high speed photographic film, according to report from the Ryerson Phy- sical Laborotary, being prepared by Dr. J. Barton Hoag. pr Hoag in structor in radioactivity, and Victor Andrew, graduate student. have been working on the problem be- tween 3 and every night for the past three months.
 Stimulated by the problem Of radio interference, which sometimes causes the reception of extra dots and dashes and serious confusion in commercial messages, the two phys icists have found their work resolv- ing itself into an exploration of air strata 200 miles outside the earth.
 T. has been known previously that radio signals on short wayelengths, under favorable conditions travel around the world as many as three tii!icS, tS!!le ttESlNtI dl lllltlNdlS Ol one-seventh of second. This phe- nomenon, together with other "achoes' coming at a much shorter time, has given rise to the theory Of 2 radio resistant layer. the Ken nelly Hcaviside layer. which is 2 layer of electrons created by the sun, ranging from 75 miles 10 150 miles outside the earth, depending or whether it is day or night, win ter or summer
