Mountainous Spitsbergen
Noted for Mineral Deposits

The majestic, coal-veined noun
tains that form the Norwegian Is
lands of Spitsbergen rise from Arc
tic waters at the top of the world, Z"
points out the National Geographic
society. The group, officially known
as Savalbard, is about 700 miles
from the North Pole and 400 miles
north of Norway. The northern part
of Greenland is $50 miles to the
west.
Despite their inhospitable location,
the islands are one of the few Arctic
regions that have supplied minerals
TO countries in the temperate zone
Deposits of iron ore, copper, and
zinc are largely undeveloped, but the
vast coal esources-estimate as
high as eight billion tons - have
been mined for half century.
Coal mining is simplifed by the
fact that the veins often crop out on
the mountainsides. The long summer
hours of midnight sun" also help
production. Although mining contin-
ues throughout the year, the coal
can be shipped abroad only from
June or July until October, while
the haTbors are ice free.

Vanishing India Colony

! One of the distinguishing features
of the ancient city of Cochin, near
India's southern tip, is dwindling
colony of Jews, remnants of 10000
who fled Roman oppression in Pal
estine 1900 years ago. In separate
section of the community the de-
Scendants of the Palestine pilgrims
have lived since the l4th century. In
their synagogue they retain many
relics of their long stay in India.
Most treasured are copper plates by
whose inscription Maharajah Of
AID. 379 ceded lands for Anjuvan-
mum to the leader of the group, es-
tablishing him as the first Jewish
king outside the Holy Land. Many
of the colonists intermarried with
Indians. The descendants of those
who did not intermarry are the
white Jews of Cochin, now reported
as narrowed to a few families,
barely 100 people.

Electric Made Steel

Steels of the highest quality, in
cluding stainless steel and many al
10y steels, generally are produced
in electric furnaces where melting
and refining can be most closely
controlled. Electric furnaces of the
type most widely used are steel
shells, lined with heat resisting
brick. Large sticks of carbon,
called electrodes, extend down
through the roof of the furnace to
within a few inches of the metal in
the furnace. When the current is
turned on, electric ares, similar to
those in the arc lights used for
street lighting or in home "sun
lamps" are struck between the elec-
trodes and the charge of metal, pro-
viding the necessary heat for melt
ing. The charge is refined by trans
ferring impurities, largely through
chemical action, from the metal to
the Stag.

Electric Power Makes
Rapid Postwar Gains

The growth in demand for electric
service since VI Day has exceeded
the most optimistic estimates and
kilowatt hour production has been
at record breaking levels, exceed
ing the peak wartime rate, accord
ing to survey of Northern Trust
company, Chicago.
The electric utility industry added
81 million customers to its lines in
l946-more than in any previous
year. OF this total, 1.8 million rep
resented residential and rural GUS
toners while the balance was ac-
counted for by commercial and in
dustrial accounts. More than so per
cent of all dwellings in the U. S now
have electricity, including 81 per
cent of the nations six million
farms.
The potential market for new and
old electric appliances is still vast.
It is estimated that as of January
/, l947, only Is per cent Of the
wired homes in the u. S. had elec-
trio ranges, per cent ironers, and
only per cent had electric water
heaters. One-half of the homes had
vacuum cleaners and 90 per cent
had electric refrigerators. In addi-
ton, the more widespread available
ity of electricity to the American
farm in recent years indicates a
higher level of consumption of elec-
trio energy by this group in opera
ton of both household appliances
and farm machinery.

Robert Todd Lincoln
Believed Self a link

Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abra-
ham Lincoln, was present at either
the assassination or death of every
murdered United States president
The eldest son of the Civil war
president was born at Springfield,
Ill. During the last year of the Civil
war he served as a captain on the
staff of General Grant. He later
practiced law in Chicago and served
as president or director of various
banks and industrial corporations.
Until his death in 1926 he believed
himself to be a jinx on the death of
U. S. presidents.
On April IA, 1865, he was with his
father when he died following the
shooting by John Wilkes Booth the
previous day.
On July 2, 1881, he was with
President Garfield, as secretary of
war, when President Garfield was
assassinated.
Lincoln also was with President
Mckinley when he died from bullets
of Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist, in
1901.
After the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley, Lincoln refused to
attend any function where presi-
dent of the United States was to be
present. He often stated that the
deaths of his father, Garfield and
Mckinley preyed on his mind and
that he believed himself iinx.

Steel IngOt MOldS

That all steel begins in the ingot
is traditional saying in the steel
industry. 1t means that practically
every steel product sold by the in
dustry, whether tin plate, wire or a
heavy girder, was at one time
part of an ingot-the first solid form
which steel takes. Ingots can be
of many sizes and shapes, but in
general they are large rectangular
blocks. A typical open hearth steel
ingot may weigh five tons. but Bes-
semer and electric furnace steels
usually are cast into smaller ingots.
The molds generally are made of
cast iron and are open at both ends.
When they are ready TO be filled
they rest on heavy, cast iron plates
called stools, which in turn are
mounted on small railroad cars for
easy transportation.

Scientist Puts Weed Pest
TO Work on Curly Top

A scientist has ingeniously turned
TO helpful use the worst quality or
dodder, a serious weed pest. Dodder
Is one of the higher plants that is
a parasite. It is particularly OBJ
jectionable in alfalfa, clover and
lespedeza fields where as small
vine it twines around the crop plants
and sucks from them the juices that
might better go TO producing forage.
But it is just because dodder is such
an able sap sucker that DR.. N. j..
Giddings uses it in studies of the
virus causing curly top.
Curly top is an important disease
of sugar beets and other crop plants
in the western states. 1t is caused
by a virus that is carried by the
beet leafhopper. AS they feed, these
insects pick up the virus from sick
plants and transfer it to healthy
plants. Curly top affects many kinds
of plants, including tomatoes and
tobacco, which have hairy leaves.
DR.. Giddings is a sugar beet dis
ease specialist engaged in research
on protection of beets from curly
top. When his studies called for
! transfer of the curly top virus from
lone of these hairy leaved plants, he
ran into trouble because the leaf
hoppers do not feed well on such
leaves. A way was found around
this difficulty. Giddings established
the dodder plant on the hairy plant
he wished to use as a source OF
virus. The parasitic dodder sucked
out the virus along with the plant
juices. The beet leafhoppers fed
readily on the smooth dodder stems
which contained the virus. Thus they
became infective. They could then
be used as transfer agents. Gid
dings, therefore, put the dodder par
asite to work as a research tool in
this study of the strains of the curly
top virus.

Validity Of Meson Theory
In Atom Field Questioned

Doubt is cast upon the validity of
the meson theory, which explains
principally how the nucleus of the
atom is held together, by cosmic ray
Investigations conducted by Prof.
John A. Wheeler and his associates,
DR.. 7. Sigurgeirsson and DR.. A.
Yamakawa at Princeton university.
! The latter two have found that the
,mesons in cosmic rays are absorbed
!; in different ways and at different
rates by substances with different
atomic weights, the elements heav-
ier than aluminium being able to alb
Sorb the meson and hold their en-
ergy while the lighter elements be-
come radioactive to increasing ex-
tents and emit decay electrons, in
way completely in disagreement
with the predictions based on the
meson theory of nuclear forces.
Professor Wheeler describes, in
the Physical Review" a mechan-
ism in which atoms absorb mesons,
leading him to conclude that there
is a very low probability that these
strange particles, mesons, will be
knocked out Of atoms by lombard
ing them with heavy particles. Ex-
tending this conclusion to cosmic
rays, doubt is cast upon the cur
rently held theory that the mesons
in cosmic rays are produced by shat
tering atoms high in the atmosphere
by heavy incoming primary parti-
cles.
