Much of the oxygen which is sold commercially to hospitals and chemi- cal laboratories is obtained by passing an electric current through ordinary water. Hydrogen bubbles off at one pole and oxygen at the other. Prof. Urey induced a commercial decom- poser of water to reduce 4,000 gallons left in his cells after the current had; passed through to 150-e half perl cent. solution of heavy water, Fifty: gallons of this Professor Urey himself l reduced to one-third its volume, so that he had about a one-per-cent solution. As more and more current was passed through, the lighter hydrogen was driven off and collected. What mr- tained in the cell was electrically de.. composed still further, until at last only hydrogen which was all heavy was given off. "Deuterium" is the It stands to reason that this is no ordinary wafer. In fact, it is the "heavy" water which was discovered two years ago' by Professor Urey in collaboration with Dr. George Murphy of Columbia and Dr. F. G. Brickwedde of the United States Bureau of Stan- dards. It looks like ordinary water,‘ yet it is different. It is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen, but the atoms of hydrogen are twice as heavy as those of rain-water. is worth about $8,500. At hast it cost Professor Urey that much to obtain it by patient electrolytic decomposition. Some day similar water may cost no more than that bought in bottles. ‘Obtaining Heavy Wiier -- What the Insect Sees In the laboratory of Professor Har- old C.

" I Dr. Lutz proved photogiawhically (that red, yellow and pink portulacas hire strongly ultra-violet except in the centre. But neither a vivid yellow nor a pink zinnia had any ultra-violet. Obviously the Zinnia: have not much to say for themselves if fhrrttl colors mean anything to insects. In the same way Dr. Lutz found many Bowers must Yook very different to insects. And that insects are responsive to ultra-violet rays there can be no doubt. Lubbock proved it mmy yours "o with ants and Dr. but: more recently with bees and fruit flies. On the mimicry theory . yellow spider ought to be invisible to visiting insects beside the yellow flowers in which he is accustomed to hide. Photo- graphs show that the flower is only slightly ultra-violet. To an ultraviolet- seeing insect the spider ought to be " conspicuous as a red hunting coat amid green foliage. ( i Writing in Natural History, Dr. 1Lutz Points out that "a red flower looks red to us because out of all the wave lengths of light which we can see it reflects only or chiefly the long ones which give us the optical stimulus we cal red. If this ower reflected only 'i, these, an insect which cannot see red, at least as a color, would say, if it could talk, that such a tlowes. is black or dark gray. If, on the other Und,; such a tiower reflected ultra-violet u.ve lengths which an insect can we, that insect, if it could talk and knew physics. would any that the flower is ultra-violet color. Probably it could even distinguish several colors in the part of the spectrum we call ultra- violet." ; Even one who is not a biologist PPft be struck by this anthropomor- phism. In other words, Darwin as- sumed that the lower animals, includ- ing the insects, see the world as we see it. But is the assumption justi- fied? Dr. Frank E: Lutz of the Anr. erican Museum of Natural History has been making experiments which show conclusively that it is not. All of which makes one wonder if the whole Darwinian doctrine of mimicry and the purposefulness of color must not be modified. I It was Darwin who first pointed out 1 the sigttifieto?e of color in nature. The insect called a "walking stick" is in- distinttuishagle from the surrounding twigs, and certain butterflies look like leaves. Why? So that enemies will pass them by in blissful ignorance. If a color is particularly garish in an insect'or a lower animal, it is sul'posed‘ to have a frightening effect or to give warning of a vile tam. Gaudy petals are assumed to be signals to attract a pollen-bearing insect from another flower. More than 300,000 organic com- pounds contain mme form of hydro- geu in addition to carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. How does the new heavy hydrogen affect these? Chemistry has evidently a huge task before it. INSECTS’ SIGHT. It is such questions that deuterium and the new heavy water answer. When heavy water is used u n trol- vent it is just as if the Item were identified by red and green tags. Hence it is easy to decide whether the hydrogen in the sugar is all light. as it was originally, or whether it is heavy. Experiments made in Europe seen. to show that the atoms actually! wander about and that some of thel hydrogen in recrystallized sugar is heavy. I Thanks to this discovery of bony 1hydrogen, chemistry becomes a more exact science than ever.
