" jff v - HOW: JELLY JELLS- EXPLAINED BY LABORATORY WORKER -- Dr. Irving Langmuir, associate director of the General Electric laboratory at Schenectady, N. Y., has been conducting a series of interesting experiments to ascertain exactly what is happening when a liquid begins to jel; in other words, turns into jelly. His principal experiments were conducted with acetic acid added to a diluted solution of sodium sUicate. "It has been interesting," said Dr. Langmuir, "to try to find "out what is going on in the liquid during the time that no apparent change takes place before the jel is formed. Some theoretical studies seem to indicate that the silicate molecules that are formed in the solution join together in pairs and then the pairs join with other pairs, building Up molecules four times as big. Then these groups of four join with the other groups of four dnd so on, so that the size of the molecules keeps on increasing in a geometrical series giving molecular ratios of 1-2-4-8-1G and so on. After this has gone on for a sufficient length of time the molecules get so big that they reach across the whole body of the solution; in fact, all the silicate in the solution becomes one gigantic, mole' cule. ' "The jelly-like properties, which can be described as elasticity, only develop when the first of these molecules begins to reach across the vessel." How to Tell if Melon Was Picked Green, Ripe If there is a yellowish color beneath the netted surface of the melon, if it has a characteristic musky odor, if the blossom end of the fruit yields to the pressure of the thumb, it is usually ripe. These points indicate the ripening of the melon, but not the flavor, says a writer in the Los Angeles Times. Melons picked green and ripened en route to the consumer may be flavorless. Good flavored melons are usually ripened on the vines. ^ If you want to have some indication as to the flavor of the melon, examine its stem scar. If the scar is smooth, clean and cup-like it usually means the melon- was picked when ripe. If there is a portion of the stem adhering to the scar the melon was picked when green. A little secretion of sugar around the stem scar means that the melon is sweet. How Nether Wallop Got Name Nether Wallop derived its name from the Wallop family, famous in Hampshire for many generations. The family name of the earls of Portsmouth is Wallop, says Pearson's London Weekly. Nether means lower, and possiblyv the village being built on the Unftqror aether .part of the Wallop ealate was called Nether WaEop consequence. Nefher is a descriptfon used as far away as Devon. Tlx origin of place names is always an.«interesting subject, and no dovbt tature generations will be asfcing about people whose names are sow commemorated! in streets on n£w housing estates. But newly created peers reverse the ancient custom. As a rule they take their new title, from a place of birth or association. How Cincinnati ffipslsty Started The Society of Cincinnati is a patriotic one, organized bgr the officers of the Continental amy at their last encampment, May 13, 1783. The first meeting was held in the Verplanck house, the headquarters of Baron Steuben, on the Hudson river, near Fishkill. As the officers were leaving the army to return to their farms they named their society after Lucius Quincttas Cincinnatus, who left the plow to become a dictator of Rome and returned to his farm when the civil emergency )iad passed. How to Malfe Firelighters Firelighters that may be used instead of wood for kindling fires can he made from old newspapers. Begin at the extreme edge of righthand corner of the paper, and roll tightly cross-wise till it forms a long spill--then divide in two equal parts. Begin at the top and twist over and over till all the paper is used, which should then be as solid as a piece of wood. Three or four of these will soon make a fire burn brightly. How te Apply Tourniquet A tourniquet improperly applied may cause amputation, even death. It should be used when an artery has been cut. Locate the artery between the heart and the wound with the fingers and press until bleeding stops. Apply the tourniquet about a hand's width below armpit or groin, knot ends, put stick between knots and turn carefully. Unwind stick every 20 minutes to restore circulation in smaller veins. Tourniquets are for arms or legs onlyt MOTOKBTS MTXTEN ^ ROM A 7,000-MILK WESTERN JOUBNEY (Continued from first page) to Mrs. Ed Smith and daughter, Clara, and while there they also saw Mr. aid Mrs. Sayler Smith, with whom a visit was enjoyed. v After leaving Portland the Foster Lurtiber Mills were visited, where the prdcess of making lumber from giant redwoods was witnessed and they also visited the, myrtle wood factories and Brookfield cheese factory near Coquilla, Ore. j . Most Beautiful Drive From Portland south our" tourists travelled along the coast highway, claimed to be the most beautiful drive in the world, and through the giant redwood forests to Oakland, where they visited Mrs. Duncan Rigden, formerly Nellie Qemens of McHenry, and Gertrude Clemens and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Clemens. They did not see Carence Clemens, who had just sailed on the "Warwick" for New Jersey by way of the Par\pma Canal. While at Oakland they visited San Francisco and many points of interest, including Chinatown, where they had dinner at the Lotus Bowl and the Alameda -airport, where they saw the giant Philippine clipper, 90 feet long, weighing 52,000 pounds and with a wing spread of 130 feet. They crossed the two. wonderful bridges and saw Alcatraz, the prison home of A1 Capone, in the distance and climbed to the view of Mt. Tamalpais, where a wonderful view of the surrounding country was enjoyed. From Oakland, south to LosAngeles, the valley route was taken, which was beautiful with fruit orchards and grape vineyards. At Modesta, Calif., they visited Fred Smith,^3 years old, who was a resident here and hunted on the Thompson farm in the late 90's, with Robert Schiessle. He gave Robert Thompson his first gun. Here they gathered Enerlish walnuts, almonds, figs, grapes and pomegranates and saw olive trees loaded with olives. At Glendale, Calif., they visited Orville Wright and family, son of George Wright, and at Whittier, Calif., they visited Mrs. Mabel Smith Hatfield and son, Frank. Mrs. Hatfield is the daughter of the late Ellen Gage and John M. Smith. A visit was also paid to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Justen at Chowchilla, Cal., where they have a fine ranch of 400 acres of irrigated land Mr. Justen raises pure-bred Percheron horses and has a fine herd of 180 pure-bred Holstein cattle. Mr. Justen, who was busy filling silo, reported fine crops and stated that he gets six cuttings of alfalfa a year on his irrigated land. At LosAngeles a call was made on Mrs. Ida Cornwall Huffman, who spent her childhood days at Barreville and was an old neighbor of Mrs. Van- Nattars. Here, also, a visit was paid to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Arvedson and daughter, Louise. On the homeward trip a visit was made to Mr. and Mrs. L. H, Owen at Cushing, Okla., where they also saw Mrs. EST. Owen and Don Chapell. Carlsbad Carem The homeward trip was taken along the southwestern ronte, the outstanding feature of which was the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico. Although Mr.' and Mrs. Thompson have visited many caves and caverns they report that none have equalled the Carlsbad in magnitude and splendor. Two Otis elevators operate sit the cavern A a cost of $125,000., making the descent of 750 feet in 67 seconds. Although Mr. and Mrs. Thompson took the elevator down they walked out, but found it to be a real climb. The most impressive of the many ch*mbers in the cavern is the big room 4,000 feet long and 625 feet wide, with the ceilipg arching 300 feet above. The place is beautifully lighted, with n6 wiring or bulbs visible. Outstanding is the rock of ages, which is said to be 160 million years old, and geologists who have studied it, report that 100 years is required to form one inch of the rock.
