GOLD FROM THE SEA

A few grains Of gold and silver
have been extracted from the sea
by the chemists of the Ethyl-Dow
Chemical Company. The cost is as
yet too prohibitiye for the process
to be used on a commercial scale,
but it is a decided step forward in
the efforts Of scientists to find
means of tapping the immeasurable
wealth Of the sea. Gold, silver, ptal-
mum, radium and other precious
metals exist in dilute form in the
waters Of the ocean.
This is not the first time that
gold has been extracted from the
sea. After the war the famous
chemist, Fritz Haber, whom the
Nazis drove to an untinely death,
actually obtained gold from sea
water, but at cost Of $4,000 an
ounce. In the new method the cost
is only about ten times the present
market price which is s35 an ounce.
The American chemists obtained
the few grains of gold and silver as
a by-product Of their commercial
extraction of bromine from sea
water. The Ethyl-Dow Company
has a bromine plant on the Atlantic
coast near Wilmington, N. c. 1t is
the only one Of its kind in the
world, and operates at the rate Of
90 per cent efficiency. 1t produces
about 100000 worth of bromine
a year which is used in making
anti-knock gasoline.
1t is less costly to extract bromine
than gold because there is 10000
times as much bromine as gold in
sea water. But the amount of gold
that was obtained was smaller than
the amount that was actually pres
ent in the IL tons of sea water
which we're chemically treated.
This is due to the faults of the
method which the chemists are try
ing to remove.
The gold was fished out with
met" consisting of colloidal sulphur,
sulphur in virtually liquid form.
This sulphur is dissolved in the
water. AS it settles to the bottom,
it carries the gold and silver down
with it. The sulphur is then re-
moved by chemical processes and
the precious metals remain as
residues.
The work so far is still in an
experimental stage. Its main pur-
pose is to explore the possibilities,
and test the methods, Of extracting
the treasures of the sea that are
yet not available to mankind.

HYPNOTISM CURES
SUFFERING
DR.. Victor H. VogeI Of the o. s.
Public Health Service reports that
patients have been cured Of slut
tering by the use Of hypnotism.
The method has been used at the
Marine hospital in San Francisco.
It includes revelation of the cause,
and suggestion to the patient under
induced hypnotism. It has been
found especially applicable in those
cases where the patient suffered
from severe shock or fright early
in life.
In some Of the patients the caus-
alive incident remains only as a
subconscious memory which they
cannot recall during their normal
wakened state. But when rypno-
tized they readily recall and mar
rate all the details. The physician
then gives the suggestion, while the
patient is still in hypnotic state,
that he can overcome his suffering
since he has revealed its cause.
Success is not very marked in those
cases where the actual cause is not
revealed.
There was one patient who could
not recall the causative incident
before being hypnotized. After hyp-
nosis he remembered that when he
had been about seven years old, he
had been severely beaten by his
drunken father, for buying candy
with nickel that he had earned
for running an errand. While under
hypnosis he spoke perfectly, and
after three treatments he was
cured.
Another patient was suffering
from shell-shock. An exploding
shell had killed many Of his com
pany and left him the victim Of
suffering. After four treatments
he was cured, and was able to talk
almost normally with the excep-
ton of an occasional relapse.
The terms suffering and stam-
mering are usually used synony-
mously. But in a limited sense
suffering has been applied to repe-
tition Of sounds or syllables, as dis
tinguished from stammering which
is a hesitation or difficulty in voic-
ing certain sounds.

MIRACLES, Soviet film released by
Amkino, directed by P. Petrov-
Bytov, featuring Vladimir Gardin,
at Acme Theatre, 18th Street at
Union Square.
Reviewed by
DAVID PLATT
THIS is the second film directed by
Dovjenko's protege, Petrov
Bytov, which has come to America.
The other one was the early Gain

a curious resemblance between the
two pictures. Both take as their
theme the problem of anti-semitiSm
in personal---very. Russia and
focus it through the lives of two
individuals, one weak, the other
strong. Both have a counter-theme
tracing the collapse of deeply in
grained religious prejudice through
sheer physical and mental torture,
and the final solution in each case
of the necessity of class struggle.
Both are somewhat weak in concep-
ton Of these two themes, mainly
because they fail to show adequate

religion and its basest expression,
the pogrom, or the persecuted-clasS
reaction to these barbarisms, al
though both films present strong
and convincing characterizations OF
individuals in pain and torture set
forth as symbols of class anguish.

punch that distinguishes "Deserter"

SYNTHETIC SEX

Professor L. Ruzicka Of Zurich
has produced the male sex hormone
by mixing common chemicals in his
laboratory. He has reported in
Nature, the British science journal,
that he has made the substance
which gives man his gruff voice
(or at least should and other Of
his secondary sexual differences.
The natural male sex hormcne
was isolated by Butenandt. 1t was
extracted from the glands of ami
mails. When given to a hen it
would cause that female to develop
a fine ROSTERS comb, although she
would continue to lay eggs if given
sufficient provocation.
Professor Ruzicka did not indi-
cate whether his discovery would
lead to the direct administration Of
the hoTnone in cases Of illness.
Anxious wives will thus have to
continue to depend on the natural
product. Time alone will tell
whether the synthetic hormone will
enable the oyertaking and sur
passing of the gruffer males by the
squeakier ones.
