Zurich Herald, 1951-10-18, Page 6Tapping The Sun.
For E nierg3r
Some people have been squinting
at the sari with a new interest since
reading the prediction of President
Conant of Harvard that by the
end of the century the sun will be
the main source of energy for in-
dustry, atomic energy having been
found too costly and too dangerous
for genera Luse. Out in Ohio,
Charles F. Kettering, the inventor,
is working on the problem of tap-
ping solar energy. When he has
found out what makes the grass
green he thinks he will have solved
the problem. Dfr. Kettering is the
inventor of the self-starter for auto-
mobiles. In his retirement he is
trying to discover a kind of self-
- starter for all industry.
Whenever the question of solar
energy is raised it is immediately
pointed out that we are already
existing on energy, which the sun
laid down eons ago, in the form
of coal and oil. Even Water power
is a creation of the sun, since the
sun has first to draw the moisture
up above sea level before it can
be released as rain to fill the rivers
behind the great dans. Earthquakes
and volcanoes represent enormous
amounts of energy which are the
creation of the earth and not of
the sun. and this kind of energy
we could well do without. The sun
is also the source of such human
energy as is displayed on the earth,
for it produces the food by which
men exist. The dwellers in Plato's
cave had no idea what life was like
until they left their cave and carne
out into the sunlight.
Father of those who are still seek-
ing the secrets of the sun was
Ana'uigoras, who ventured to tell
the Athenians that the sun was not
a god driving a chariot and four
across the sky but a mass of molten
metal somewhat larger than the
Peloponnesus. It took ail the elo-
quence of Pericles to save his friend
from severe punishment for this
and similar un -Athenian views on
the nature of the universe. Anaxa-
goras went into exile, while the
Athenians continued to argue about
how Helios, the sun god, transfer-
red his golden chariot and immor-
tal horses from west to east every
night. The people of Rhodes went
on to build the Colossus in honour
of the sun god and centuries later
Roman Emperors were still trying
to force the cult of `Sol Invictus'
upon their disillusioned subjects.
Twenty-four centuries after Ana -
angoras astrophysicists know a
great deal about the sun. By intri-
cate calculations they have dis-
covered the secret of the sun's en-
ergy in the transmutation of hy-
drogen gas into helium. Last week
it was confirmed that scientists had
so far progressed in their experi-
ments that for another half billion
dollars they can probably apply the
sun's secret to the making of a
hydrogen bomb. While they are at
work the sun will be exploding
several million hydrogen bombs a
minute, creating enough new en-
ergy every day to balance what is
given off in light and heat. How
to utilize this free and unlimited
energy is the problem of scientists
who, like President Conant, look
forward to another, if not golden,
then silver age when deserts will
bloom, food will be plentiful and
all nations will enjoy an adequate
place in the sun.
Telling The Time
By Your Cat
Can cats really see in the dark?
Why are a cat's pupils slit-like when
she blinks at the sun but widely
dilated when she has just come out
of a darkened cellar? Questions
like these are now being studied by
scientists and already they have
made some interesting discoveries.
Only the other day Mr. Ralph
Gunter, a London scientist, set
shout finding out whether a cat
tan see objects in a room which
'o human eyes appears pitch-dark.
}Ie used six cats against whose eyes
Ie decided to match his own sharp
tight.
He put into a dark room a Sall -
:et of milk which was "illuminated"
vith a beans of light so faint that
to himself could not see it. Every
ale of the six cats saw the saucer
t once. And as it was in an air -
;gilt, glass -sided box, the cats could
tot possibly have scented the milk,
These and other experiments are
enthusing. Scientists will probably
stablish that what we call a dark
nom is hill of tiny rays of light
vhich a keen -eyed cat can pick up
asily. It is known that the pupils
of a cat's eyes are capable of being
nlarged or distended to a great
xtent, thus letting in every par-
lcie of light, And this enlargement
f thet pupils takes place almost
6stantly,
laver tried to tell the time by a
at's eyes? fir's quite possible if
:1e weather is favourable. On a
right day, according to Chinese
I;t-Revers who have studied the
abject, a cat's eyes are smallest
t noon, gradually widening until it
dart, and remaining like that un -
1 daylight dawns again, when they
r' 01 to narrow Once more.

CRITICISM
Full of zeal, the amateur drama-
tic company was doing its best—
but that wasn't good enough. The
audience got colder and colder. At
last the heroine, fat, forty, and not
so fair, advanced to the footlights.
"Oh, why was 1 born?" she ex-
claimed.
"That can't be helped now," came
a retort from the gallery, "get on
with the play!"
His bagpipe playing was the chief
thing that nattered to hint in life.
One night, while he was strutting
about the room, skirling for all he
was worth, his wife attempted a
mild protest.
"Jock," she said, "tlat's an
awfu' noise you're making."
So Jock sat down and took off
his boats.
