agreed to build a lighthouse on
Cape Spartel to reduce, at least to
some extent, the attacks by the
rowing privateers.
The agreement stipulated that
the signatories should contribute
toward the upkeep of the light
house, Of which Sweden's share
originally amounted to 1000 kro-
nor. When the international ad-
ministration of Tangier ended in
1941, all payments were stopped.
Today, however, the situation is
such that the money can be paid
out again. Because everything has
increased in price, including the
upkeep of lighthouses, Professor
Gunnar Myrdal, Swedish Minister
of Commerce, is asking for 5000
kronor this year, instead of 1900,
to cover Sweden's share. The pres
ent lighthouse, incidentally, is a
modern Swedish built AGA auto
matte beacon.

Slant CycIotron To Serve
Swedish Industry

STOCKHOLM, February 10
(By airmaiD The Physio- Chemi-
cal Institute at the University of
upsala, headed by the Nobel Prize
winner, Prof. The Svedberg, will
shortly be equipped with a mod
ern cyclotron laboratory. FIJI
nanced jointly by industry and the
Swedish Government, it is esti-
mated to cost almost 100000 and
will be completed in 1913. Prof.
Svedberg states that the cyclotron
will be used not only for medical
and nuclear research but also for
experiments in various industrial
fields, such as whether certain
kinds of radiation can be used in
the production of textiles, mostly
plastics
The cyclotron, which is being
constructed by Swedish firm,
will be placed in a circular under
ground hall with thick concrete
walls and a roof of earth and con-
crete 20 feet thick to prevent
dangerous radiation. 1t is hoped to
attain energies of 60 million cleo
iron volts for nuclei. The labora-
tory will form the center of a
large new City of Science"
planned for the university, includ-
ing physical and a chemical
laboratory, bio-chemical insti-
tute and one for organic and in
organic chemistry.
Another large cyclotron struc-
ture is now being erected at the
Nobel Institute in Stockholm, un-
der the supervision of Prof. Name
Siegbahn, Sweden's fore-m
atomic power expert who is also a
Nobel Prize winner. A smaller cy-
clotron at this institute has been
in operation since 1912.

Whales Facing determination

OSLO-Predicting no hope for

Paulsen, Norwegian whaling au-
thority, presented some grim and
thought-provoking figures before
the Norwegian Engineers Associa-

coupled with reports from the
whaling fleet now in Antarctica
indicate that the years of respite
during the war have done little to
halt the decline in the whale popu-
lation as earlier hoped. During
the period from 1882 to 1889, the
reduction was particularly mark
