Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

A TOMS of double weight hydrogen are concen-
n trated in honey. kerosene and benzene. NAL
colin Dole of Northwestern university reported at
a regional meeting of the American Chemical So
ciety in Kansas City.
Ordinary hydrogen consists of about 5000 light
weight hydrogen atoms to double weight hydro
gen atom. But in the three substances lust named
the percentage of double-weight hydrogen, or deu-
terium. as 1t is now being called, is much higher
Mr.. Dole said.
Mr.. Dole has been investigating the percentages
of deuterium in various organic compounds His
method is to burn the substance in oxygen He
then condenSes the water vapor which results from
the combination of the hydrogen in the original
substance with the oxygen.
Next he purifies the water so obtained and then
measures its density Its density reveals how much
doube-weight hydrogen is present.
He finds that there is 20 per cent more double
weight hydrogen in honey than there is in ord-
nary sample of hydrogen gas Benzene obtained
from coal. he finds contains 40 per cent more.
Samples of kerosene vary in their deuterium con-
tent Texas kerosene was found to contain Is per
cent more. while Oklahoma kerosene contained 80
per cent more.
MIR. DOLE'S experiments, as he points out, are
1V1 only in their first stages. He says, however,
that it is possible that the data from such expert
mentS eventually will shed light on the origin of
petroleum and upon the role of double-weight hy-
drogen in life processes.
Other Investigators have tried experiments in
which bacteria, plants and animals we're immersed
in heavy water" that is, water which contained
only double weight hydrogen 1t was found that
many varieties of bacteria. plants and fish
killed by the heavy water.
These experiments, which demonstrated that
certain organisms not utilize heavy water, led
Mr.. Dole to the theory that there might be a nat
ural separation of lightweight from heavyweight
hydrogen in physiological or life processes.
For this reason. I first investigated honey" he
says. expecting to find that the hydrogen in honey
has less deuterium in it than ordinary hydrogen.
On the contrary, I found more deuterium in the
there Is in ordinary water"
THE experiments by Mr.. Dole follow discoveries
4 by the late DR.. E. w Washburn and his CO.
workers in the bureau of standards that heavy
was present in larger than normal percentages in
he water Of the Great Salt lake, the Dead sea- and
in certain minerals.
This natural separation. however, is believed TO
be due to the more rapid evaporation of the ordi-
nary water.

Education in the South

ME business of conducting study classes for the
l. patriots seemed very bad, too. Study is in
cned to make people smart and it is well recognized
in the south that the dumber is the happier
he is bound to be.
The reason why the Negro has been exposed to
education SO grudgingly all these years not that
the white man had anything against him The rea-
son was that the Negro, being ignorant was too
dumb to know that he unhappy.
On the contrary, he thought he quite happy
and the white did not have the heart to teach
him otherwise. But nowadays the Negro is being
educated by law and some sad day in the future
he suddenly will find himself smart enough to real
ize how smart he would have been to remain dumb

The Charm of IHlperfectiOn

forever enthralled by her charms, but sought and
found happiness with others more meagerly en-

Ruth and Gehrig quite accurately symbolic the
might and majesty of the greatest metropolis the
world has vet contrived And yet into my heart
there stole some element of the feeling I used to
have upon the ancient Hilltop grounds when the

the dust. My mission came to like flash.
Gone was my early brash intention of travelling to
remote places Identified by me as par: of the hin
terland and my notion of talking to distant stran-
gers secretly labeled by me as hicks" Now knew
that 1t was my privilege to come to Buffalo, Toledo
and Akron saying: I here in all humility I
realize that this city is not New York and never will
be count it no hardship, but a privilege to share
your disabilities. Meager as your existence may be-

1t was in April, 1882, that James
had returned to his home in ST.
Joseph, Mo. Staying with him
there was one Bob Ford, sort of
apprentice bandit, whom James
had trained in his own methods
of murder and robbery.
TICK LIDDLE, one of his
~ gang, had opened negotia-
tions for his own surrender and the
betrayal of James; Ford was
probably "in on" the plan.
While Ford and James we're
planning still another bank rob-
berry on the following night, a
newspaper headline told James
that Liddle had surrendered.
James had suspected Ford, or at
least Ford claimed later he
thought so.
And then James did a strange
thing, which none of his biog-
raphers have ever been able to ex-
plain. In the presence of Ford he
unbelted the four-gun belt which
he always wore, and tossed it on
the bed
Ford thought James was trying
to throw him off his guard by this
display of confidence. Then
James, remarking that picture is
awful dusty" mounted a chair
and began to dust it with a little
brush.

They stole horses and fled.
Cornered in a wood, rif1emen
and company of national guards
men surrounded them, but they
slipped through the Gordon at
night. Through the countryside
they went. stealing horses just as
the Dillingers steal automobiles.
Dozens of times they were shot
at; several times they were sur
rounded and shot their way out.
Then posse came on Merrill's
body, riddled with bullets from
Tracy's gun. Tracy had slain his
own partner by trick.
