Ship Rome.—Italian divers, whose work in hunting the treasure of the Artiglio ;and the Egypt made them famous, are beginning another chapter in the his- tory of romantic salvage attempts. , The British government, after hav- ing believed for years that any at- tempt to salvage the precious cargo of the motor -ship Glenartney, torpeoed during the war by a German subma- rine, was hopeless, have granted the Soncession to the Sorima Company of Genoa, which recovered the gold of the Egypt. The Glenartney was sunk off Cape Bon, not far from the Tunis coast, in 1918, while en route from Singapore to London with a cargo of rare metals, including 6,000 tons of tungsten and 150 tons of the rare mineral known as strait. The present value of this car- go is calculated at about three million dollars. The Glenartney lies in about 700 feet of water, but this does not fright- en the salvage company. Two vessels have been sent to Cape Bon. They are lying off the Tunis coast, and have succeeded in locating the Glenartney, The vessels are the Ipomea and the Italia. The former is about 100 feet long and the latter about eighty. The bottom of the sea is muddy where the sunken vessel lies. With the diving machinery they have aboard, the divers of the Ipomea can go down more than 300 meters, which is considerably more than the depth at which the Glenartney lies. The Week in Science Metals of the Future—Latest Notes on Cosmic Rays As ht looks back upon the breath- ts advance of scientific research in o last fifteen years Professor Colin G. Fink of Columbia University won- Ilers, in The Engireering and Mining $ournal, what th future will bring forth. So many dire prophecies of the past have failed of fulfillment—like ir William Crookes's forbodeing, at the turn of the century, of a nitrogen famine which would make it impos- sible to grow enough wheat to feed the Western nations—that, to Professor Pink, "the realization of the existence ad a problem almost invariably is equivalent to a prophecy of its solu- tion." Whereupon he pictures a few Isnmediate possibilities in the chemical Utopia. Aluminum—will it always be reduc- ed from bauxite, the few deposits of Which are closely held? H thinks not. Norwegian electro chemists have al- ready shown that from iron ore and 'play an aluminum -containing slag can be produced, and from this aluminum. But s by not turn common clay (lum- ina) into aluminum? The possibil- looms on the horizon. There will a tremendous boom in the use of lurninum when that happens. The pieta! may be cheaper than steel. Bauxite properties may sell for a song. Professor Fink expects that our descendants will "listen with a smile Go an account of how thousands of Worms were carefully nurtured on 'mulberry leaves in specially construct- ed houses, how these worms were in- duced to spin cocoons and how these Cocoon:: were unwrapped, the thread forming the basis of our entire silk Industry." Rayon and similar fibres indicate what we may look for. Fac- tories are already taking the place of 1v. _ens. INDEPENDENT OF FARMS. It is equally funny to behold our- selves raising billions of bushels of 'wheat and milking millions of cows to feed . ourselves. To Professor Fink ithe actual energy finally turned into tblood and bone is ridiculously small when compared with the vast amount at energy expended in producing these iastaple food products." He believes that before longcivilization will be in - I dependent of the farm, the dung heap, and the cow for grain and milk. To him. it is significan. that ethyl or grain alcohol has become r by-product of the petroleum industry, and that acetic acid, once obtained solely from na- ture's wood, now cones from coal and limestone, which two raw materials are electrically changed into calcium 'carbide, and the carbide into acety- lene, acetaldehyde, acetic acid and acetone. Because he had no electric furnace, the old-time chemist could not bring . about such reactions. All that he could do was to break down complexes. His successor of today builds them up. Instead of trying to produce pure tantalum metal, for example he cre- ates tantalum compounds with new uses. One result is tantalum carbide, indispensable now hi the cutting in- dustry. With titanium it is the same. Not the pure metal but its compounds are now sought. Titanium pigments threaten the old supremacy of lead paints. Even a metal like copper, at pres- ent indispensable in electrical appar- atus, may have to yield its place. S.,dium is a better conductor. Pro- fessor Fink cannot help wondering whether it will not become the metal of the electrical engineer. So with zinc; cadmium, which used to be se,mething of a curiosity, is now taking its place, and cadmium is a mere by-product. But what of such one-time rarities as indium, german- ium and gallium? They are seeking markets. A beginning has already been with with iridium -plated ware. But, as in the case of tantalum and titanium, Professor Fink is inclined to think that the largest promise is held out by compounds of gallium, in- dium and germanium. 11 "Christians, Awake," was being sung as a carol, when a window was raised, and a voice said: "Go away. Ve vas not Christians, and ve was not asleep." - Doctor—"Well, Mr. Jones, I am sor- ry to tell you that your wife's mind Is completely gone." Jones—"Well, doctor, I am not at all surprised to hear that, for I've had a piece of it every day now for these, last six years." Husband—"It is a strange, thing, but true, thatthe biggest fools have the most beautiful wives." His Wife (pleased) --"Oh, what a flatterer you are, darling." Another thing about nudist mar- riages is the bride will never have to worry in atter years about the moths getting in her old wedding gown. Junior was dejected walking home from school, and his woebegone ap- pearance attracted the attention of a' kind-hearted woman who happened to pass him on the street. Kind -Hearted Woman — "What is troubling you, my little man?" Junior — "Dyspepsia, rheumatism, asthma and appendicitis." that's Kind -Hearted Woman—"Why absurd. How can that be?" Junior—"Teacher kept me in after school because I couldn't spell them." CHEMICAL AGE BEGINNING. "Who knows," he asks, "whether or not a compound of one or the other of these three metals will make a dye for cottons and silks that will not bleach out in the sun?" Chemists seem to have taken it for granted that dyes trust be coal -tar derivatives. To Pro- fessor Fink the fast, washproof dyes are more likely to be obtained from minerals. The best blue today is arti- ficial lapis lazuli, but no one has a scientific explanation of its beauty and its fastness. The age of chemical synthesis is only beginning, he concludes. "We must get away from the belief that the compounds of the earth's crust are the only ones possible. With the facilities at our disposal we can, at very high temperatures, or under the influence of very powerful electric discharges, or through the action ofpowerful chem- ical and physical means, bring about reactions which even nature has not produced in the last." a BURSTS OF COSMIC RAYS. Hoffman, a distinguished German physicist, discoverer that the cosmic rays do not pone in upon us steadily as light does , from the sun. Some- times there are what he calls Stosse, or bursts. Others have observed these rocket-like bursts and wondered what they are and how they are caused. At sea -level they occur two or three tines a day, but on a mountain as high as Pike's Peak, three er four times as frequently. It is difficult to account for the bursts for the simple reason that it is impossible to see the cosmic rays as we see the light of day. It is only by their effects in and on instruments and natter that the cosmic rays are detected at all. Here Professor R. A. Milliken thinks we have a clue to the origin of the bursts. In other words, they are conditioned by the instru- ments, and net produced by the mays in the absence of instruments. This theory he develops in The Physical Review in an article written in collab- oration with Dr. Carl D. Anderson, discoverer of the positron, and Dr. H. Victor Neher. In another article by Victor Neher, the statistical aspect* of bursts are studied, with the strong presumption that we are dealing with instrumental varagies rather than something puzzling in the cosmic rays themselves. We must either keep step with the changing times, or be cast aside. The attempt to hide our lack of ability to adjust ourselves to a changing world, by declaring the changes are all wrong, will never get us anywhere.

By the length of time it takes some men who have been going with the same girl for years, to make up their mind to propose, the girl begins to think that they are just taking up her time for the "love" of it. Spendalot—"Well, how has every- thing gone since I last saw you?" Hardup—"Everything's gone!" If a list of hardest jobs were made, heading it we guess would be bringing up a modern child in the way he or she should go.

It usually consists of two quartz fibers in a vessel. Ordinarily the fibers are held apart by equal and similar electrical discharges. The current to do this is supplied by a small battery. When the cosmic rays play upon such an instrument there is no keeping the fibers apart. The mays have strong electrical or ionizing ef- fects. It is then that physicists detect the rays. then influences may also cause the libel's to close—the emana- tions of radium from the earth's rocks, for example. All these disturb- ing factors valet be excluded. And excluded they are by lead shields and by controlling all known conditions. Professor Milliken and his collabor- atora are of the opinion that the bursts come not from the cosmic rays, but from the battery which furnishes the electricity that keeps the quartz fibers of the electroscope apart. Milli- ken suggests that a cosmic -ray shower hits one side of the electroscope and produces a large .lumber of ions, or wreaked atoms. Hence the bursts are "instrumental accidents" which have "little to teach aobut the mechanism .. , of the cosmic rays themselves." AFTER 50 Scott's Emulsion is a great comfort.

Newell of Baltimore told the American Orthopsychiatric Association, "much of his misbehavior will vanish." "The most important factor in a child's emotional life" Dr. Newell said, "is his sense of security. Undermine it and he begins unconsciously to seek to restore it by device to win the mother's attention. Much misbehavior is due to this yearning for attention which he gets when he 'cuts up,' even though ie is a scolding. "For instance, if a boy pulled his sister's hair eight times yesterday and three times to -day, most mothers would scold him for to -day's offences. But if, instead, she complimented him on the fact that he had erred five times less to -day, the child would learn that behaving is just as sure a way to earn attention as misbehav- ing."
