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. Kid Kisses Bride -Tommy 'Mac- pherson, four-year-old London- er with a Scotch name, collects a kiss from pretty British bride Mrs. Stona Macpherson Camp- bell after her marriage to Don- ald Lestrange Campbell. The wedding took place at St. Mar- garet's in Westminster, London. Clans gathered when reception took place in House of Commons dining room. 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. r ay 11NDAYSC11001, LESSON v. B. ,Barclay Warren B.4., B. A 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.
