Materials Evolved by
Acids Drawn From Air

silk stockings have actually been
made from airl They look very well
indeed, but they have one drawback:
they melt In hot weather. Still, that
is a disadvantage which will doubtless
be overcome in time, for the science
of making silk from air is still in its
infancy.
Wonderful work has been done by
Mr.. Wallace Carothers, who has dis
covered that about twenty substances
can be extracted from the air, each
Of which can be turned into material
very like floss silk in appearance. A
synthetic cloth has even been evolved
by treating various acids drawn from
the air with a waste product Of ordi-
nary petrol.
Air plays a very important part, for
we could not live for an instant with
out 1t. In the future, though, 1t is
likely to provide us with good many
other things beside breath. Saltpeter,
one Of the most valuable fertilizers
known, Is already manufactured from
air, and the neon gas used for filling
certain kinds Of electric lamp bulbs
can be obtained in the same way. Not
long ago, method Of extracting car
bon from air was discovered, and it
was predicted that from this might
develop methods Of obtaining both
fuel and food from the atmosphere

Early Motion Picture.

The modern motion picture dates
from about the year 1898, when Edi-
son produced his kaleidoscope, the first
machine Of the kind using film. Ed
ward Muybridge, often called the "fa-
Their Of moving pictures" had preceded
him by about 20 years, but was handi-
capped by the fact that he had to use
glass plates. Other pioneers before
Edison were Sellers, Lincoln, Marcy,
etc. In 1894 @. Francis Jenkins was
the first to produce moving pictures
by modern methods. The first public
showing Of moving pictures was made
in June, 1894. IL.

Edison. Wonder Work

When Edison entered the jungle of
earth's elemental forces, the carbon
arc-light Of Sir Humphrey Davy and
Faraday was sending its first uncer-
tain blue flashes across the worlds
night. 1t spnttered like short circuit
and sometimes behaved as temporal
mentally as lightning. The night of
the world, except for this crude de-
vice, was lighted by tallow. oil and
gas. All of earth's illuminants, COM
pared with sunlight, were no more
than a burning match.-Exchange.

100000 acres in cultivation this in
crease would amount to almost half
billion bushels more production than
the world standards Of thirty years
ago. In place of dire distress due to
shortage, we have had dire distress
due to surplus.
Wheat farmers have shown no great
inclination to curtail materially their
output; perhaps a 1919 decline COM
pared with 1919 reduction in steel.
This unwillingness, or perhaps inabil-
ity, to adjust production to current
needs makes the problem all the hard
er to solve.
Not only are we now growing more
wheat per unit Of land, but acreage
has been very greatly extended. In
twenty years Canada has increased
acreage 5000, Australia almost as
much. Another significant fact Is the
materially lessened use of wheat. A
much more diversified diet has devel-
oped. More vegetables and fruits are
used than formerly. The reduction of
1.2 bushels consumed per person per
annum since the last generation neces-
states nearly 150,000,000 bushels less
wheat than was formerly required.
Machines Increase Supply
The factor that has exerted the most
potent influence in this rising world
flood of grain has been the rapid de-
velopment of the machine. The old
days of the cradle required from thirty
to forty hours of hand labor to harvest
an acre of grain. Then came the bind
er, which reduced the process to four
or five hours per acre. Now the com.
bine does the work in forty-tive min.
utes per acre.
Where 1t used to cost ten cents O
bushel merely I'd thresh the grain, the
modern combine cuts and threshes at
q cost ranging from to 5 cents q
bushel. With this reduced cost of pro-
duction, the possibility Of acreage ex-
pansion is tremendous. Lands here
tofore regarded as worthless except
for grazing have recently come into
competition with the older wheat belts.
The Russian Effort
Within the past two or three years
another disturbing element has come
into the picture. Soviet Russia is at
tempting a comeback fraught with
possibility that cannot yet be fully
evaluated. Russia is eagerly utilizing
the very latest Of scientific knowledge
to enlarge her agricultural possibili-
ties. With feverish anxiety she is
literally pouring millions into the OK.
pansion of her university research In
stitutes. experimental stations and
breeding farms. Her scientists are
combing the earth for new crops and
new methods. No country in Europe
is manifesting more interest and aetiv.
ity in laying hold Of the best science,
wherever it may be found.
1t is of more than passing interest
that the wheat yields reported on the
huge trust farm known as the Giant.
ran last year as much as IS bushels to
the acre. On this single farm the crop
harvested is reported to have been
3,S65.000 bushels. A single farm OF
427,00O acres under government con-
troll and mechanical as fast as human
energy can be applied is a new factor
in the worlds picture.
There can be but little doubt that
the Russian situation may yet assume
quite different attitude from what
obtained even in pre-war days.

large number OF the inhabitants

peculiar condition of the teeth
known as notified enamel. This was
found In every person whose perma-
nent teeth had been erupted In the
locality. II was finally traced to the
drinking water. mostly obtained from
artesian wells.
Analysis showed this water TO con-
tain an abnormal amount OF the chem
ical element fluorine. The deeper the
wells the less fluorine.
Further research iii the vicinity re-
yeaied deposits of fossilizei mastodon
