institution has become recognized
around the world as the "Show Win-

NVeighing in Millionths of
Grams—Food and
Long Life
How amazing is the sensitivity of
the weighing apparatus with which
the modern chemist works was well
brought out by Professor Otto Rahn
of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for
Chemistry, who has for Some time
been a non-resident lecturer at Cor-
nell University, Four hundred grains
are egtivalent to 101 pounds, The
usual modern analytical balance, he
reminded those who heard him in a
public lecture, permits a mass of a
few hundred grams to be weighed ac-
curately within 1-10,000 of a gram,
When Germany found herself coin-
pelf_ s by the Treaty of Versailles to
pay reparations in almost fantastic
amounts, Noble Prize winner, Dr.
Fritz Haber, the chemist whaae spn-
thetic ammonia process made it pos-
sible for her to make high explosives
vithout the aid of Chilean :,:trate, re-
vived the old possibility of extracting
gold from sea water. Here was an
inexhaustible reservoir of gold that
eouLi pay the bill har4ed to Germany.
At least so it seemed in view of de-
- terminations that had placed the am-
ount of gold in sea water at five to
ten milligrams in a -metric ton, or
1,000 kilograms. So good a chemist
as the late Dr. Svante Arrhenius had
estimated that even if there were only
six milligrams of gold in ,a 'metric ton
ef sea water the total gold content
of all the oceans must amount to eight
`billion tons. To be sure the ores of
South. Africa contain 'one thousand
limas more gold than does sea water,
but sea water is much more easily
handled than dirt and rock,
Numerous experiments conducted
by Haber soon convinced hint that the
estimates were wiI. Instead of the
assumed five to ten milligrams of gold
sea water contained only about a
tho:.saf.clth as mucks Haber gave up
bis plan. But out of it carne methods.

made it possible to determine masses

Similarly out of a case of mercury
poisoning came another advance. The
case happened to be that of Dr. Al-
fred.•Stock, himself a chemist of dis-
t`-nation. He began a series of .elicate
determinations of mercury. He weigh-
ed the amount in saliva,that had come
in contact with mercury amalgam
dental fillings, in perspiration, even in
exhaled air. In the end he showed
how it was possible to demonstrate
the presence of a hundredth of a mil-
lionth of awam of mercury in the
form of tiny. crystals of mercury
iodide,, a quantity so minute that it
can barely be seen under the micro-
scope.
FOOD AND LONG LIFE.
We encourage babies and cattle and
invalids to eat as much as they can
on the theory that growth and health
are synonymous. Back in our minds
there is also the thought that the
healthier we are the longer we are
likely to live, 'Is there any scientific
justification for these implications?
Dr. C. M. McCay of Cornell reports
in Science the results of some experi-
ments which he has been conduct:
with rats and fish and which throw
doubt on the feeding practices., of
solicitous mothers.
Back in 1912 Dr. T. R. Sloneker
of Stanford University reared three
male rats on a 'general diet. Their
average life was 1,222 days, but it
took 391 days for them to attain their
maximum weight. They did not grow
rapidly and then fatten to a maximum -
as middle age approached—the object
in fattening cattle. Dr, McCay found
that seventy-five of his own rats fed
on a satisfactory diet•died at an aver-
age of between 515 and 481 days,
Only one lived more than 900 days.
Contrary to .Dr. Slonai:er's experience,
his rats matured rapidly and died at
an earlier age.
In some experiments made with
brook trout Dr. McCay found a clear-
er relationship between the rate of
growth and the span of life. The
trout that failed to grow lived the
longest, even though all in the school
ate. the same food. This rather bears
out the conclusions reached by entom-
ologists who have found that insects
live longer if their growth can be
retarded. •
What are we to conclude? "No one
has ever found it possible to have
both rapid growth with early attain-
ment
ttain
ment of maturity , and longevity,"
writes Dr. McCay, "It is possible
that longevity and rapid growth are
incompatible and that the best chance
for an abnormally long life span be-
longs that the animal that has grown
slowly and attained a late maturity,
Cramming babies, girls and boys with
food may not be so commendable after
all.

tion with, a martial tradition—proud,

She is a stronger military power than
Germany, Of historic Poland, born
