HOW
ATOMS ARE HELD TOGETHER
BT PECULIAR “LEASHES.”—
Atoms, even In solid substances,
are known to be in constant vibra
tory motion, yet they seem to be
held together by some unseen
means. In n report to the Amer
ican Chemical society Dr. Donald
H. Andrews, of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, explains how the ntoins
stick together. His discovery or
new contribution to the molecular
theory Is thnt atoms are chained
together with spiral spring-like
leashes. For his studies Doctor
Andrews made a working model of
ft molecule of water by fastening
small steel balls to the ends of
spiral springs. Its shape resem
bled a wide letter V, with the npex
a large steel ball. To this ball
two spiral springs were attached
and at their ends were two small
steel balls, representing the two
hydrogen atoms in water. The
large ball represented the oxygen
and the two spiral springs the
leashes—chemical or electrical
forces- holding the three atoms
together to form water. When the
model was shaken In a variable
speed machine it was observed
that these mechanically produced
vibrations corresponded with the
light spectra of vibrations of ac
tual water molecules. Other mole
cules gave Similar results.
How It May Be Possible
to Double Use of Paper
The Inventor of n method for re
moving Ink from used paper predicts
a substantial restoration of usable
pulp when his invention Is perfected.
A demonstration recently given before
the Southern Newspaper Publishers
association in Asheville, N. C., sup
ported his claims, at least "in princi
ple.” according to the Indianapolis
News. The use of timber from thou
sands of acres annually In the pro
duction of newsprint pulp long ago
raised a question as to where the fu
ture supply of pulp could he found.
Simultaneously it was discovered that
paper can be made from any fibrous
vegetable material, grass, cane and
cornstalks particularly. Weight, bulk
and cost enter as controlling factors
and practical deterrents. The ink-re
moving method will enable the man
ufacturer eventually to recover a con
siderable quantity of used paper that
heretofore has been good, If at all, ns
pulp for coarse and colored paper In
remanufacture. Inventors hope to
find substitutes to meet demands In
the far future If the forest resources j
are exhausted. Quality Is, of course,
the chief problem.
' How Fishing Linas Aro Made
The silk glands or vessels consist
of two long thick-walled sacs running
along the sides of the body, which open ’
by a common orifice—the spinneret or 1
serlposltor—on the under lip of the i
larva. As the larva approaches ma- j
turlty these vessels become gorged
with a clear vicous fluid, which upon
being exposed to the air immediately
hardens to a solid mass. Advantage
is taken of this peculiarity to prepare
from fully developed larvae silkworm
gut used for casting lines in rod fish
ing and for numerous other purposes
where lightness, tenacity, flexibility
and strength fire essential. The larvae
are killed and hardened by steeping
some liours In strong acetic acid: the
silk glands are then separated from
the bodies, and the viscous fluid drawn
out to the condition of a fine uniform
line, which is stretched between pins
at the extremity of a board. The
board Is then exposed to the sunlight
till the lines dry and harden into the
condition of gut.
How Northern Lights Form
An article in the Britannica states
that: “Since all bright shifting au
roras are accompanied by magnetic
storms, it seems certain that, this type,
nnd presumably all others, is caused
by electric discharges of some kind.
The current must come from or be
induced by the sun. Two theories have
been advanced. One is that the cause
lies In negative particles shot off by
that body and caught in the magnetic
field of the earth. The second is that
alphapartlcles, with a plus charge,
come to us from radioactive sub
stances in the sun. There is said also
j WHAT STABILIZATION
MEANS
By Pro-feasor G. F. Warren, of
Cornell'University, one of the
nation’s foremost economists.
(Continued from last week.)
Managed Currency
Two proposals have been ad
vanced to provide for a perma
nently stable measure of value.
One of these proposes a man
aged currency to be controlled
by central bank's in such a way
as 'to keep the average of com
modity prices stable. To oper
ate such a system requires will
ingness and intelligence in the
bank management and free
dom from influence by politics
or desire for profits.
At innumerable times in hist
ory the gold standard has brok
en down and a managed cur
rency has been substituted.
After great revolutions, such aj
the American Revolution, the
French Revolution and the Ger
man Revolution all attempts to
pay reparations, nations were
so completely bankrupt that
their currencies were “not
worth a continental.”
At innumerable other times
after the failure of the gold
standard, a managed currency
has been operated with consid
erable degree of success. Eng
land had such a currency from
1915 to 1925, and has hac
such a currency since Septem
ber, 1931. Prices in England
since she left the gold stand
ard have been more stablc
than prices here. Apparently
such a country as England
could permanently oper ate
such a currency successfully.
The possibility of a managed
currency should not be judged
entirely by its success or failure
when conditions are so bad
that the gold standard has
failed.
The Compensated Dollar
The compensated dollar is a
proposal 'to establish by law a
currency redeemable in gold,
but the weight of gold for
which the dollar would ex
change would vary with the in
to ne n close connection Detween mese
auroras nnd the number of sun-spots.
How Atoms Are Split
The bureau of standards says that
atoms are split by using other atoms
us projectiles. The actual process
cannot be observed, only the results
of the splitting process are observ
able. The usual method of splitting
atoms is to direct a stream of alpha
particles (high speed helium nuclei)
at the substance the atoms of which
are to be disrupted.
How Plant-Lice Reproduce
There is almost nothing In nature
that can approach plant-lice in rapid
ity of reproduction, says L. Q. How
ard, eminent biologist. According to
Howard, a few days after a plant
louse is born It in turn commences to
give birth to young.
How Snow Dries Clothes
At an extremely low temperature,
snow has such an absorbent quality
that it will dry clothes.—Collier’s.
How Frost Kills Pleats
The water inside the cells of the
plant freezes and bursts the cells,
causing the plnnt to wilt and die.
dex number of Wholesale pric
es of all commodities; that is,
if prices rose 1 per cent, the
weight of gold for which the
dollar would exchange would
rise 1 per cent. If prices fell 1
per cent, the dollar would ex
change for 1 per cent less gold.
The gold would be kept in bars
in the Treasury and central
banks. This would keep the
dollar stable in buying power
for the average of all commod
ities. The dollar ha's to be
rubber either as to weight or
as to value. It can not have a
fixed weight and also a fixed
value. This proposal would
give it a fixed value and a rub
ber weight. It raises the fund
amental question as to wheth
er a medium of exchange
hould be fixed in weight or
fixed in value.
A scientific money is one
with constant buying power
for all commodities rather than
a fixed (weight of one com
modity. Our whole tax and
Jebt structure rests on com
modity prices. If this structure
s 'to be kept sound either for
;he creditor or the debtor, it is
commodity prices that need to
oe kept stable, not the weight
if gold for which a dollar will
exchange.
