The Seaforth News, 1952-10-16, Page 3*Wile A Fortune
Smashing' Eggs ,
There are many ways to make
it fortune. One is to discover
what the public wants --and sup»
ply it, Another is to specialize
in some line until you become
an export.
As a boy, Edward Eottley,
rambled among the dales of Der-
beyshire collecting specimens o£
the rich mineral deposits. Min-
erology fascinated him, and in
searching for an opening he dis-
covered that museums were al-
ways buying specimens.
He supplied them. Experience
told him how hard it was for
students in cities to obtain geo-
logical specimens, so he began
selling them complete sets, He
also treats semi-precious miner-
als so skilfully that they can be
rendered transparent and made
intoobjectsof beauty, In 1940
he was so great an authority that
the government consulted him
on many problems, and he now
has knowledge and skill that no
other metallurgist possesses.
In every country there are
people like Bottley' who earn a
good living and achieve security
by specialization, Myron Kinley
is an expert in putting out burn-
ing gushers, and when recently
a gusher blazed in the Middle
East an SOS was sent out for
this lean Texan, who was flown
there. 011 companies never quib-
ble about his huge fee, which is
always much less than the cost
of the oil that roars up in smoke
and flame to the sky. Other men
can extinguish oil fires, but none
can with the uncanny speed and
certainty of Kinley.
There is a tremendous pride
in doing a job better than any-
one else; in being the authority.
When the TJnited Nations want
a man to take charge of world -
food operations they turn to
someone like Sir John Boyd Orr.
When President Roosevelt want-
ed advice and information about
the right kinds of grasses to plant
in areas denuded by erosion in
the Dust Bowl, he sent for Sir
George Stapledon, from Bristol,
the world's greatest authority on
grass.
Economic cataclysms may
shake the world, but such ex-
perts will always be sure of a
livelihood. Cora Hind was just
such an authority before the war
in Canada. She could be seen
gazing from the window of her
private coach at millions of acres
of wheat as the train sped by,
She travelled throughout Canada
making notes, and each year
would prophecy with uncanny
accuracy the approximate num-
ber of bushels that would be
harvested. Prices were fixed and
plans based on her estimates.
She did a job that no school or
book could teach; and she did it
better than anyone else. So, she
commanded Iter price.
Another wizard of this type is
Dr. Alexis L. Romanoff, 'Profes-
sor of Embryology at Cornell
University. Years ago this Rus-
sian was an impecunious painter.
He vie -ted China, was broke,
worked his passage to the States
and took a temporary job at the
Long Island Agricultural Insti-
tute. One day Professor James
E. Rice saw some of his draw-
ings and,offered him a scholar-
ship at Cornell. There he studied
embryology and determined to
learn all about the egg.
In the course of his researches
he has smashed and .investigated
160,000 eggs - anything from
chickens' to alligators.' He has
revolutionized the business of
incubation; has coated eggs with
plastic so that they can be kept
much longer without going bad;
helped to snake chickens
healthier, . and so increased the
hen population that he brought
about a considerable reduction in
the price of eggs. Romanoff also
wrote a book, "The Avian Egg,"
which is a best-seller in scien-
tific circles. To write it ,,I a had
to consult 25,000 books' and
articles written in French, Gera
man, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, „
Spanish and Danish.

Countless Things
Made From Sand
"Throw away that sand, I won't
have it in the house!" cries the
average mother, especially around
seaside holiday -time. And out
into the garden goes the golden
grits that could be making her
new clothes, fresh furnishing
fabrics, washable paints, a n d
even fats,.
Wizards of the chemical world
could whip up the sandcastle you
make this summer into enough
scratch -proof enamel to coat
your car.
And out of the next sand -pile
could come the car oil that never
freezes. Or maybe the fat that
bakers use to grease their bread
tins =100 times more efficient
than lard.
And that shower of rain that
soaks you on the beach. Don't
worry, the sand itself, suitably
treated, can make your clothing
waterproof.
It is not new to conjure sand,
via quartz, into glass. The 14th -
century Venetian glass -workers
had the skill to take their glass
a stage further into fine fibres.
And sixty years ago a silk -and -
glass dress was on show.
But today's fibre glass industry
fulfils a constant demand from
dozens of users. Hair-like fila-
ments are spun out of furnaces
in 10,000 -mile unbroken strands.
.As glass cannot be dyed, its
rainbow of tints is obtained by
using differently colored marbles
-for marbles are the first stage
of the process that includes elec-
tric furnace s, high-pressure
steam, and the tiny holes through
which the molten glass flows as
continuous fibres at 60 miles per
minute.
Sheer as silk, the fibre is used
for clothes, as glass wool for in-
sulation, as chemical filters, and
it can be woven, sliced or knitted.
For the original sand the chem-
ists' take a second road and
achieve silicon, one of the world's
most plentiful elements with a
stronge chemical resemblance to
carbon. It is on this resemblance
that the new substances are
founded.
For instance, silicon rubber
does not perish. It is unaffected
by heat or cold. One problem re-
mains to be solved -the task of
making it tough -and then tires
will last longer than the new
car they are sold with.
War -time research for Pacific
fighting produced a waterproof-
ing liquid that successfully sealed
aircraft ignition systems against
damp tropical climes. In time
there will be silicon lubricants
that will not go stiff with cold.
You'll even see better. Spec-
tacles wiped clean with a fluid
that comes from sand stay shin-
ing as crystal.
Exploding Star
Astronomers have been intri-
gued by news that a star calcu-
lated to be three thousand light
years from the earth, and which
has puzzled observers for cen-
turies, has suddenly exploded
again.
The star is Eta Carina, and a
scientist in Australia recently
found that it had exploded again
and was brightening, just as it
did 100 years ago, when it finally
Outshone all other stars except
Sirius, the Dog Star. Later it
died away to obscurity.
This astonishing star was first
Observed as long ago as 1677 by
Sir Edmund Halley, whose name
was given to the famous comet
he discovered. Its light has gone
on fluctuating as a result of vari-
ous explosions the nature Of
which are not yet fully under-
stood. For instance, in 1860 it
began to fade rapidly, and by
1900 it could hardly be seen even
through the strongest telescope.

pherson, four-year-old London-

Relief for keg
Troubles
When leg cramps, sores and
ulcers, and even lameness come
from blood -vessel disorders in
the legs, injections of histamine,
a natural body chemical, may
help. Patients with cramps and
lamness benefited for periods up
to 12 months after 1 or 2 in-
jections. In 4 of 6 cases ulcers of
the toes healed rapidly. In 9
cases o6 leg ulcers caused: by
blood stoppage the in jections
made 3 heal promptly and re-
main well for periods up to 15
months.

Jesus Demands Sincerity
Mathew 5:1-8, 16-18, 22-24
Me m o r y Selection: Where
your treasure is, there will
your heart be also. Matt. 6:21.
In India Hindus may be sees
in the streets with uplifted
hands and mutilated bodies, re-
peating prayers or doing pen-
ance. Many of those people are
sincere. But sincerity without
truth is not enough. On the
other had truth without sin-
cerity is not enough either, It
is 'true that many professing
Christians do their good worth
to be seen of men. Many will
give more to a worthy cause if
the list is going to be published.
What men see counts more with
them than what God alone sees.
Jesus did not condemn the
praying on the streetcorners.
But when people did it simply
to be seen of men, then they
had all the reward they would
ever get. It was what they
sought for; nafely, to be seen
of men.
There is no direct command
in the New Testament with re-
gard to fasting though there are
referenecs throughout t h e
Scriptures to occasions when
individuals and whole groups
fasted and prayed. It is a mat-
ter in which everyone must be
persuaded in his own mind.
Many a poor man never has'
with enough to eat and many
a sickly person could not fast
withouth bringing on ilines. But
in general, more fasting and
praying is certainly needed. But
it must not be done to display
one's religion. With regard to
giving, praying, and fasting, if
we do it to be seen of men then
we have our reward. We are
seen of men. But he who does
any of these secretly before
God secures the reward of hie
heavenly Father.
We can't serve God and the
world. We must be out for God
or we are not His. Sincerity is
required. It is said that dubious
artists of ancient Athens, cheat-
ed their customers by filling
with wax the cracks and chip-
ped places in their statuary. The
enuine, unblemished work of
art was sine cera, without wax.
A Christian cannot be made
genuine by make-up or build-
up. He must be without wax.
