The textile and tanning industries
also may find use for gluconic acid,

whole range of possibilities from the

discoveries Of new substances and

COMETS AND THE SUN

tance covered by light during ] year
in $4,000 years. It came from the region
OF Orion. where agglomerations Of
meteoric matter are suspected. A mil
lion years ago our solar system was
some 10 light years away from its pres
ent position in the general direction
of Orion. These considerations give a
certain weight to the capture theory Of
comets.
"Nolke goes so far as to suggest the
possible explanation Of the earth'S gla-
cial periods by the action OF diffuse
matter through which the sun once
passed. We may note here that there
are indications that meteoriteS were
less abundant In the early geographical
epochS. The conspicuous absence OF
meteorites from the strata older than
one million years has been interpreted
by some investigators as an argument
for their territorial origin. 1t may with
equal right be regarded as an indication
of the absence of meteorites from the
solar system before the quaternary
epoch.

Yet all comets have fundamentally the

THE flashing comets which have in
- spired many a poet to break into
verse on the subject of the mysterious
stranger which comes for a brief visit
into the starry skies is not stranger
at all, but just one of the family, ac-
cording to the belief of N. T. Bobrovini-
koff, Martin kellogg fellow at the Uni
versity of California Lick Observatory.
Mr.. Bobrovinikoff Is OF the opinion
that the comets were picked up a mil
lion years ago or so, when the sun and
its planets passed through clouds Of
matter in the direction Of the con-
Stellation Orion.
In a report of his work. published by
the University Press, Mr.. Bobrovini-
koff declared:
I'VE have evidence, on one hand, that
comets are true members Of our solar
system; they do not come from inter-
stellar space. On the other hand, their
age seems to be incompatible with the
age of the major planets; no comet
could have survived ten billion years
(the estimated age Of the solar systemD.
1t Is possible to reconcile these results
by postulating the capture Of comets
by the sun a comparatively short time
ago. not exceeding one million years.
I'VE may think that the sun ap-
propriated them during one of its pas
sages through diffuse clouds OF obscur-
ing matter Such q theory has been
developed by F.. Nolke on entirely diff
ferent grounds. His investigation is
based on the mathematical study of the
problem and Is in complete accordance
with the results arrived at in this
paper Nolke,s estimate of the span Of
time between the adoption OF comets
by the solar system and the present is
from $4,000 to 100000 years.

MOLD MADE VALUABLE
THIS is the story of the good little
- mold.

THIS is the story of the good little
mold.
It is such a common thing to hear
a housewife say: That's no good. It's
moldy. Throw 1t away" 1t seems
strange to think of a mold that is
coddled along by solicitous attendants,
who watch over its food and its tenn
perature like the attendants around
the cradle of royalty.
This particular mold has name
like that of royalty, so far as length
is concerned, too, for it has been called
pencilium luteum purpurogenum var
rubriscleretium Thom, No. 2670 and it
is one of $50, SO far as its discoverers
were concerned, for after 149 futile
efforts to obtain this peculiarly gifted
mold they finally discovered it in No.
$50.
Its special gift, which makes it valu-
able to mankind, is in that it produces
for so cents pound very valuable
medicinal calcium salt which, before
discovery of the mold, cost in the
neighborhood of $3.50 a pound.
The discovery and perfection OF the
mold was the work of two chemists
in the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils
of the Department of Agriculture,
Horace T. Herrick and Orville E. May
In discussing the mold and the cal
cium salt made from it, DR.. Henry
G. Knight, chief of the bureau, said
recently:
