The wonder of helium; it has been liquified by five other physicists, His ¢.mbition, writes Ransome Sutton in The Los Angeles Times, was to find an inexpensive method. of producing temperatures wherein practically all gases can studied in their various states. If we knew water only in the form of oxygen and hydrogen we would never realize that liquid water can be used to float boats on or to keep lawns green. And if we had never seen frozen water, who woull understand its marvelous properties? - Since Goetz created an atmosphere of 270 degrees below zero centigrade, which lacked only 8.2 degreés of being as cold as cold can be, people are asking what kind of a thermometer he employed. Mercury would not do; it freezes as minus 89 degrees. Pro- fessor Goetz used a lead coil conneet- ed with an electric current. At ordi- nary temperatures, lead is 'a very poor eonductor of electricity. Like many other metals, however, It offers to @léctricity. And at 269 or 270 deg-ees below zero on the centi- grade scale, its resistance drops to rearly nothing and it becomes an al- most perfect conductor, It was the degree of resistance offered by. lead kp electriely hat shabled Professor 2 to dete 1 mper- pturo itside hls ce Ro ¥ er, bi temperature was six or eight mes colder than the lowest temper- ures ever encountered by polar ex- rs, / " ghd Rh WE CONSECUTIVE * Weighing i 1,000 kilograms. billion tons.

The case happened to be that of Dr. Al- fred Stock, himself a chemist of dis tinctivn. He began a series of elicate determinations of mercury. He weigh- Answers to Last Week Puzzle ed the amount in saliva that had come in contact with mercury amalgam dental fillings, in perspiration, even in exhaled air.

We encourage babies and cattle and invalids to eat as much as they can on the theory that growth afid health |Latest Findings In Science World n Millionths - of ~- Grams--Food and Long Life How amazing is the sensitivity of the weighing apparatus with which the modern chemist works was well brought out by Professor Otto Rahn of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, who has for some time been a non-resident lecturer at Cor- nell University. Four hundred grams are equivalent to 10! pounds, usual modern analytical balance, he reminded those--who-heard--him--in-a/ public lecture, permits a mass of a few hundred grams to be weighed ac- curately 'within 1-10,000 of a gram. When Germany found herself com- pell « by.the Treaty of Versailles to pay reparations in almost fantastic amounts, Noble Prize winner, Fritz Haber, the chemist whose spn- thetic ammonia process made it pos- sible for her to make high explosives without the aid-of Chilean uitrate, re- vived the old possibility of extracting gold from sea water... Here was an inexhaustible reservoir of gold that coul.l pay the bill ha:.ded to Germany, At least so it seemed in view of de- terminations that had placed the am- ount of gold in sea water at five to ten milligrams in a metric ton, or So good a' chemist as the late Dr. Svante Arrhenius had estimated that even if there were only six milligrams of gold in a metric ton of sea water the total gold content of all the oceans must tmount to eight To be sure the ores of South -Africa contain one times more gold than does sea wat.

But out of it came methods of microscopic measurement that made it possible to determine masses less tha: one ten-millionth of a gram, When the German chemist, Dr, Miethe, excited the world by mistakenly tell- ing it that he had converted mercury are synonymous. . Back in our minds there is also the thought that the healthier we are the longer we are likely to live. Is there any scientific justification . for these implications? Dr. C. M. McCay of Cornell reports in Science the results of some experi- merits which he has been conducting | with rats and fish and which throw doubt on the feeding practices of -solicitous methers. of Stanford University reared three male rats on a general diet. Their wverage life was 1,222 days, but it took 891 days for them to attain their maximum weight. They did not grow rapidly and then fatten to a maximum as middle age approached--the object in fattening cattle. Dr, McCay found that seventy-five of his own rats fed on a satisfactory diet died at an aver- age of between 5156 and 481 days. 'Only one lived more than 900 days. Contrary to Dr. Slonai er's experience, his rats matured rapidly and died at an earlier age. Ih some experiments made with brook trout Dr. McCay found a clear- er relationship between the rate of growth and the span of life. The trout that failed to.grow lived the ate the same food. This rather bears out the conclusions reached by entom- ologists who have found that insects live longer if their growth can be retarded. What are we to conclude? "No one hag ever found it possible to have both rapid growth with early attain- ment of maturity. and longevity," writes Dr. McCay. "It is possible that longevity and rapid growth are incompatible and that the best chance for an abnormally long life span be- longs that the animal that has grown slowly and attained a late maturity." .Cramming babies, girls and boys with food may not be so commendable after Mussolini Takes Fifth Post in Own Cabinet Rome.--Benito Mussolini, Premier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Interior and Minister of Corpora that of Minister of War, He accepted the request of General Pletro (azzera to be reliev War portfolio the Sa of ) five years, then proposed himself to King Victor Emmanuel III, for the position, The King nominated hifa, into gol¢ he relied on this new method of measuring.
