Notes
First reports on the results of hun-
dreds of experiments in the course of
nine months at the Cancer Research
Laboratory, Graduate School of Med-
icine, University of Pennsylvania,
are printed in the German scientific
publication, Zeitschrift fur P'hysiol-
ogische Chemie. The work, conducted
by Dr. Ernst Waldtchmiclt-Leitz, one
of the world's leading authorities on
l nzyrnes, of Prague, Czechoslovakia,
and four of his assistants, is stated
`to have opened up new fields in the
study of the chemistry of cancer, so
promising as to lead the investigators
to believe that the nature of the can-
cer
ancer problem is largely enzymal in
character.
Enzymes are regarded as catalysts
of biological origin which are formed
in all living cells. Catalysts are min-
ute quantities of certain inorganic
substances by means of which the
rate of chemical reactions are speed-
ed up tremendously. An example of
an enzyme is the ferment in the com-
mon yeast cell, known as zymase,
which brings about the fermentation
of sugar. Another enzyme, known
as 'ptyalin, is formed in the cells of
the salivary gland, from which it is
'discharged in the mouth where it acts
on the starch of the food.
It is now realized that most of the
changes going on in the living cells
are due to chemical agents similar to
the ferment in yeast. In many cases
the enzymes act inside the cell, while
in other instances they carry on their
chemical changes outside the cell
Which forms them, after being dis-
charged. Their chemical structure is
as yet unknown.

is, one particular enzyme will act only
on a single `substance, •or a group of
closely related substances. In some
cases - this specificity is so extreme
that it has been suggested that there
is a "lock and key" relationship be-
tween the enzyme and the molecule,
or the substrate, on which it acts.
Each particular enzyme seems to fit
only a particular molecule, just as a
particular key fits its own lock and
no other.
Enzymes are active in extremely
minute quantities. For example, the
enzyme known as the invertase can
hydrolyse 1,000,000 tines its weight
of cane sugar without appreciable
loss of activity. Most of the reac-
tions in which enzymes take part in-
volve the presence of water, as in the
case of the enzymes in the alir.entary
canal, which break down the food-
stuffs by hydrolysis. Other types of
enzymes, known as oxidases, are the
active agents in processes of oxida-
tion. The color changes that occur
when a sliced apple or potato .is ex-
posed to air are due to this type.
Applying the general knowledge of
enzymes gained within the past few
years, it is now found, according to
this group of scientists, that these
little ferments play an important role
in the development of cancer. So far
the type of enzymes known as pro-
teolytic, namely the protein -digesting
enzyme, have been studied. The re-
searches show, according to the re-
port, that there is a definite correla-

ENZYMES AND THE TUMC «..

steadily decreased with the increased
growth of the :tumor, while other
types, such as arginase, a ferment
found in the liver, showed a decided
increase after the growth of the tu-
mor had continued for some time.

GAS POISON ANTIDOTE.
Discovery of a new antidote to car-
bon monoxide and cyanide poisoning,
more effective, it is believed, than any
other means of counteracting the ef-
fects of these deadly poisons, is re-
ported in Science by John H. Draize
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, University of Wyoming. The
antidote consists of a solution of so-
dium tetrathionate, and was first ap-
plied to cyanide poisoning by B. For-
est, an Italian scientist.
A dose of three to four milligrams
of a hydrocyanic acid solution per
kilogram of body weight is fatal to a
rabbit when administered through
the mouth. But the intravenous in-
jection of two to three milliliters of
a 2 per cent. solution of the 'new
antidote per kilogram of body weight,
Mr. Draize reports, is "effective in,
saving rabbits having received orally
three times the minimal lethal dose of
hydrocyanic acic.." -
The results obtained suggested a
trial of the effectiveness of the salt
in other types of poisoning, particu-
larly that due to carbon monoxide.
Rabbits were gassed to a point "from
which recovery was impossible with-
out treatment." It was found that
the sodium tetrathionate was more
effective than methylene blue in re-
viving the animals poisoned with car-
bon ..Lonoxide.
Carbon monoxide will always be
more or less of a source of poisoning
so long as the gasoline engine, illum-
inating gas and coal -burning appli-
ances are used by man, Mr. Draize
observes. He expresses the hope that
the effectiveness of sodium tetrathion-
ate "may be given further study and
trial by those who are called .upon
to treat human cases of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning."

New York.—The psychological rea-
son why great men and others like de-
tective stories is out—the tales are
soothing.
They cut the pulse rate, lower blood
pressure, and steady motor nerves.
Furthermore, women re -act to them
like the men.
These experiments are published by
Ray Mars Simpson, psychologist at
the Institute for Juvenile Research,
Chicago. His test readers were 40 uni-
versity students, 24 men and 16 wo-
men. Their ages were 18 to 41.
While wearing attachments to re-
cord their physical status, they read
detective stories, history, psychology
and geography, in 15 -minute periods,
for six successive days. The first,
third and fifth days were devoted to
detective stories.
The instruments showed that the
rate of breathing was consistently
faster while reading detective stories;
but the longer they read the slower it
became.,•
"Reading detective stories," Dr,
Simpsonistates, "tends to reduce the
pulse rate more than reading academic
material.. The blood pressure falls to
practically the same final level at the
end 'of '15 -minute periods devoted to
either detective stories of geography.
Motor` steadiness is improved more by
reading detective stories than by read=
ing history,
"In short, the great majority of de-
tective stories are soothing rather
than exciting. They act as a sedative
for tired business men."
The Better Day
Harsh thoughts, blind angers, and
fierce hands,
That kept this restless world at
strife,
Mean passions that like choking
ands,
Perplex the stream of life.
Pride and hot envy and cold greed,
The cankers of the loftier will,
What if ye triumph, and yet bleed?
Ah, tai. ye not be still?
Oh, shall there be no space, no time,
No century of weal in store,
No freedom in a nobler clime,
Where nen shall stri7e no more?
Where every motion of the heart
Shall serve the spirit's Piaster -call,
Where self shal be the unseen part,
And •]roman kindness all?
Or shall we but by fits and gleams
Sinl. satisfied and cease to rave,
Fi love but in the rest of dreams,
And peace but in the grave?
