Scientists May Solve Seepoge
OfCooI Mine Acid Into River

The scientific team found it is
another common chemical in
coal mines which causes the
acid-forming reaction. They are
not ready to name it yet.
They also found that treating
pyrite with another chemical will
prevent the action. At least, it
will in the laboratory. They
haven't tested this "inhibitor" in
the mines yet. Until they do, they
aren't making any claims for it.
If it works out and if it is not
too expensive, thousands of soft
coal mines some day may be
treated to prevent the acid seep-
age. The main trouble areas are
in the Appalachian mountains,
particularly in Pennsylvania and
Ohio.

BY the As.eeiatsd Pres,

BALTIMORE. Jan. 2O.-Three
Johns Hopkins scientists say
they have discovered what pro-
duces the acid that seeps from
soft coal mines and pollutes
rivers.
They may have found a way to
stop it. they said in announcing
their discovery yesterday.
If so, it will solve an age-old
problem which has vexed count
less scientific investigators.
The acid makes water ';hard." !"
It corrodes water systems. boats,
power plants, locks and bridges.
It drives fish downstream. In
dustries can't use the water at
all or must put it through ex-
penSive treatments.
One estimate 10 years ago was
that acid in rivers of the soft
coal country did So or So million
worth of damage annually !,
DR.. Charles D. Rem, professor
of sanitary engineering at Hop
kins; DR.. Walter A. Patrick, pro-
fessor of chemistry, and Floyd
w. McCollum of Kingsport,
Tenn. a graduate student in
chemical engineering, attacked
the problem anew last summer
for the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin.
It already was known the main
villain in the problem was pyrite
or fools gold" This is the brass
yellow mineral which abounds in
many soft coal fields. Its scien-
tific name is iron disulf1de.
Air, water and pyrite get to-
gether in the mines and produce
Sulphuric acid.
But you can put them together
In the laboratory and they don't
make acid.

The general idea behind the Gus
tom is quite self-evident. Jewish
tradition always paid respect to
the various forces of nature which
give benefit to man in the uni
verse and at which man looks
with awe over their majestic dis
play of the powers of the Al
mighty. The sun. which is one of
mankind's greatest aids in life
certainly deserves the blessing of
mankind for its great powers.
QUESTION: Why are weddings
prohibited during the period be-
tween Passover and Shavuoth?
Il. T.. Charleston. S. CO.
ANSWER: Several reasons are
advanced for this custom of re-
framing from having marriages
performed in the period between
the Passover and Shavuoth festi-
walls. Generally, this is considered
as means of mourning because it
was in that period when thou
sands of students of the great
Rabbi Akiba were slaughtered.
Others claim that the custom pre-
vailed because of the pilgrims who
were busily engaged in their
travels to and from the Temple
Since they had to return home
and then come again to the Tenn.
pie between the two holidays
marriages were postponed les
they interfered with their return
to the Temple in time.

QUESTION: What is meant by
the blessing of the Sun? I'm.
Sarasota. Fla.l
ANSWER: The Blessing of the
Sun" is the name given to Gus
tomary benediction made when
the sun reaches its original posi-
ton and begins a new solar cycle.
This time is called the beginning
of the ''vernal equinox" and takes
place only once in % years. The
ceremony usually takes place at
sunrise or after the morning
prayers.
The custom is mentioned in the
Talmud (Berochoth sob. Among
the reasons advanced for this
custom is that the sun reaches the
original position where it was
placed at the time of creation. The
day of the week likewise CORE
spends to Wednesday, which is
the day upon which the Bible
tells US that the sun was created.
