a general shortage OF plant super

Turn Paper-Mill Waste
Into Valuable Products

The paper industry is one of the
biggest buyers of heavy chemicals.
Now 1t is producing chemicals of
Its own. When papcr-milling states
began to pass laws against dump
ing paper-mill waste into streams,
the chemist found an excellent way
out for the paper companies. Now,
much OF the waste is turned into
valuable new products which pro-
vide an additional source of profit.
More than so per cent of today's
vanilla f1avoring for ice cream and
confectionery comes from paper-miu
waste. Plastics have already been
made on a small scale from the
same material, and large-scale pro-
duction is anticipated. Other i'm
portant by-products are used to
waterproof cement, to tan leather
and as source of medicines. Ad-
oltlonal by-products are activated
carbon, used for filtering sugar and
beer, and liquid rosin or pine Oil,
used in the manufacture of soap.
Ink and textiles and in mineral flota-
ton.
The research laboratories of the
paper industry now hope to recover
from the processing of wood made
into paper, the whole range of valu-
able chemical products that are
currently obtained from coal, the
wood of prehistoric ages.

Infant Mortality Cut
Heavily in 20 Years

TORONTO.-Infant mortality in
the United States has declined by
IS per cent over period of 20 years,
and the death rate among children
from | to ii years old has decreased
by 60 per cent, Dr.. Louis /. Dublin
told the annual meeting Of the
American Institute of Actuaries
here.
DR.. Dublin, who is vice president
and statistician of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, presented
the figures in study of infant NOR
tally made jointly with Mortimer
Spiegelman of the same company.
The Improvement has been accel-
Grated in the past decade, the report
stated. pointing out that in the years
l92O-'29 infant mortality declined
% per cent, while In the years 1880
80 il declined 80 per cent.
Equally important, there is no
sign of slackening in the rate OF
Improvement" the report said. II
added that such extraordinarily low
mortality rates have been reached
by some of the ages within the &c
l4-year group that further apprecl-
able reduction appears difficult.

Bath for Blood

One of the spectacular demonstra-
tons at the American Medical as
ISOLATION meeting in New York was
given by DR.. Emmett K. Knott, phys
icist of Seattle, Wash. He has de-
veloped an apparatus for giving
the human blood an ultraviolet ray
bath. A pint of human blood is
drawn out, subjected to ultraviolet
rays for few seconds, then pumped
back into the patients body.
This irradiated blood appears to
hasten the cure of the patient. In
all sorts of serious infectious dis
eases, the method has been most
effective.
DR.. Linus Pauling, of the Califor-
MIA Institute of Technology. pub
ished a theory that is expected to
aid scientists in synthetic produc-
ton of antibodies. AS is well known.
these antibodies are the specific
chemicals which the body produces
to resist and overcome disease
germs.

Potato Controversy

Peeling potatoes, to modern house
wives, is a sin. Potato jackets,
they firmly believe, are rich in anti
scurvy vitamin c, while the potato
inside is little more than starch and
water. Recently the British Medi-
cal Journal laughed at this asser-
ton, referred to some new research
of food chemist, Mamie oliver.
The ascorbic acid (vitamin c. con-
tent of potatoes, she found, is more
than skin deep. In fact, said the
Journal, the amount of vitamin "in-
creases from without inwards. This
admirable vegeta5le-by no means
to be neglected fer its contribution
of iron and aneurIn (vitamin BID
may have rough exterior, but
clearly cOnceals beneath it a heart
of ascorbic acid"

Opportunities Are Still Here

Several years ago Joseph " chel-

years out of Harvard, extracted doz-
ems of scientifically and. CONNER
cially valuable products out of old
shoes and scrap leather. The al
chemist of old failed to transmute
base metals into gold, but Michel
man succeeded in making gold in
directly from old shoes. Among 9TH
er things he extracted from old
shoes, chrome oxide green, the only
perfectly permanent green known.
Then he obtained animal charcoal,
used in filtering and bleaching; gas
for fuel; pyrocatechol, a photogr phic
developer; indole, perfume base
and principal component of jas

Ocean Water for Life
Necessary for Seafsh

Sea water has been studied with
great care and we know the things
which ale to be found in il. These
include magnesium sulphate and
calcium sulphate, also iodine and
salt.
Salt is the chief thing which can
be taken from sea water. II has
been figured that one cubic mile of
water in the Atlantic ocean con-
tains 1924 900 tons of common
salt!
Think of how many billions and
trlllions of tons of salt there are in
the oceans of the world! People
need a certain amount of salt for
good health, but we should never
worry about using il all up. One
small bay of the ocean has enough
salt to last the human race for
thousands of years.
1t would seem a simple thing TO
provide homemade ocean water
for oc6 IN fish in an aquarium. We
NIGH suppose all that need be done
Is to put fresh water in the tanks
and add the salt and chemicals
which exist IN ocean water.
That has been done, but when
ocean fish were placed in the water
they died soon afterward. Men who
take care of aquariums know what
to do, however. In a tank of
homemade ocean water" a small
amount of real ocean water is
poured.
The real ocean water should be
about one-tenth of all the water that
goes into the tank. Inside of a week
all the water in the tank Will be
alive" Salt water fish can live in
II and keep their health.
Certain plants, as well as fish. will
live only in ocean water. Many
kinds of seaweed grow in salt wa
tiers of the world.
Water plants of number of kinds
are found in lakes and rivers, and
often we call them seaweeds. Yet
the ocean is the place where true
seaweeds grow.
