GLOW WARM C'OMMISSIONAIRESS British Scientists Produce Light • front Nowhere If the electric supply should fail in: one of Britain's air raid precaution control centres, the various dials and instruments now continue to glow without any . apparent agency. This "light in darkness" is the result of research by British scient- ists into the possibilities of "lumines- cence", the technical name for any light which does not spring from nor- mal sources, such as the glow worm's. By the action of "black" glass. mammy vapour discharge lamps which provide a use for rays hither- to itherto wasted, surfaces covered with certain powd'eo s glow with an aston- ishing range of colours, produciegt new effects as it were by magic. If phosphorescent materials are added to the powders, the coated surfaces continue to shine for several hours after the lamps are switched off. Hence the significance of these new materials if .applied to wartime con- trol centres where the normal elect- ric supply may be cut off. The danger of collision with sand- bag walls or lamp, posts in Britain's blackout are also largely avoided if obstructions are treated with paint containing phosphorescent powders, so throwing off a light to warn pedestrians. Such is the progress made with this "glow worm" technique that not only will control dials show up when all other light fails, but also "exit" and other directions signs and feat- ures it hoteland t tt nd cinema lounges tau also be' made to glow, down to the last button on the commissionaire's tunic. Burma Highway Is Like Movie Dream' Threads Way Through The Snow- Capped Hills and Rice Fields The Burma Road, which Great Britain has agreed to close to halt a flow of war supplies to the Chinese Central Government, is a highway which might have been conceived by a Hollywood director and executed by the Phatahos of ancient Egypt. It is a vital part of the 2,000 -mile long trade route front Burma's sea- port of Rangoon to the Yengtse riv- er, connecting the Burmese railroai at Lashio with Kunming (formerly tl called Yunnanfu), the capital of Yun- nan Province. Work on the most difficult stretch of the great new road, between the Burma border and Kunming, was not started until the fall of 1937, when military exigencies caused the British, authorities to cut through a freight route to British Asia to ship products to regions cut off by the Japanese occupation of Pacific ports. The Hollywood setting is provided by sparsely settled regions of snow- capped mountains end ricebordered plateau lakes, tropical jungles. of bamboo and teakwood, and forests of towering evergreens where bands of gibbons scream in the shadows and strange birds chatter and sing. The suggestion of ancient Egyp- tian methods of construction is in- escapable. Most of the construction was clone by hand by thousands of men, women and children with only . a few crude tools. Glass For Air Raid Shelters Abraham Lincoln's Grand -Nephew Pioneers New Invention Abraham Lincoln's grand -nephew is one of two young British architects who have opened up a new field of investigation by using glass instead of steel as the reinforcement in con- crete. He is Mr. John Abraham Lincoln, one -tine purser on liners, civil ser- vant and journalist. His 33 -years -old partner is Mr. A. W. Soden, A. R. I. B. A. As soon as the war began, Soden and Lincoln began to search for a substitute for steel for reinforcement. Their tests showed that, besides be- ingcheaper, glass actually has some technical advantages over steel, and that it will probably be used in the future for the sake of its own qual- ities, not merely as a war -time sub- stitute. Glass -reinforced concrete will carry four times the maximum toad requir- ed by the Home Office for air raid shelters. ,Further tests, are being car- ried' out for spans up to 18 feet. The glass, which is not specially strengthened in any way, is in strips cut from the edge of the glass• as it comes front the rolling mill, a feature being that the outside edge, known as the selvedge, being fire -finished and not cut, is stronger for reinforce- ment purposes that, glasswhich has been cut, polished or- refined. Thus material can be used which is ordinarily broken up , for resmelt- ing. OIL CANS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS FOR FOOD • It has been brought to the atten- tion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture that many people are making use of oil cans for the can- ning of foods. Tlie use of oil cans for food is, con- sidered to be very dangerous practice since they are made of Tente plate, a plating' which is almost wholly" lead, and very small amounts of lead are poisonous. Cans made expressly far' foods are different and can be bought at a nominal price front hardware stores and mail order houses. Years of re- search have gone into the manufac- ture of cans for canning food, with the result that the inside plating is lead free. This is done to make, it impossible for foods to become con- taminated with lead, and no cans. should be used for fruits, vegetables; meats, or fish other than those made: as food cans. Oil cans are not food cans and should not be used for any food product.
