Sun Spots and Magnetic Storms.
l*rintiiig Shop Psychology.
The ever-growing demand for motor
fuel is stimulating the search for
alcohol and other materials that can
Jbe used in ordinary internal combustion
engines. Much is expected from
the manufacturer of sugar and alcohol
from the Nipa palm, of the
Philippines, and this is reported by
% <% x __ _ _ ^ 4'
iD. M. Matthews, cnier roresirv uificer
of British North Borneo, to have
suggested new possibilities for the
country around Sandakan. While
the area of napa swamp in this vicinity
has never been computed, it is
believed to be greater than in the
Philippines. More than 50.000 acres
must exist in three areas alone?
Labuk Bay, the northeast coast from
. Sandakan Bay to Tambisan Island,
and Sandakan Bay?and these dense
stands are easily accessible. As good
management makes 200 acres of
Nipa yield 500 gallons daily during
the six or seven months of sap flow,
an important alcohol industry is
j promised from the palms actually in
5 sight.
Sun spots are generally looked upl
on as a cause of magnetic storms on
I the earth, but more light is still being
sought. At a late meeting of the
Royal Astronomical society in London,
E. W. Maunder showed that the
If disturbances are very likely to recur
with the turning of the same meridian
of the sun, toward the earth.
^From the records of 1889 to 1913,
Rev. A. S. Cortie had studied over
2,000 disturbances, 275 of them great
and 29 very great, and had found the
disturbances more numerous when
the sun spot area was diminishing
than when increasing. The influence
of the spots seemed to increase
'tfith nearness to the sun's equator.
The novel star finder of a Shanghai
inventor has the form of a parasol.
When the parasol is opened
and its stick is pointed toward Polaris,
the stars and constellations
charted upon its covering are found
to have the same relative positions
as in the sky overhead, so that finding
the celestial objects is easy.
% Supplies of peat?enormous as
they now seem?will be used up rapidly
if the. latest schemes for utilization
prove equal to expectations.
Prof. Bottomley's bacterized peat, "if
a success on a large scale, will create
EM* a"great demand for peat fertilizer;
B&CV:-- and now a new process of distilling
peat which has been already under
test several months, promises a home
supply of fuel oil for British naval
and other vessels. After breaking
up in a macerator, the peat is compressed
into briquets. These are
r^.;;-dried' until the moisture is reduced
to 25 per cent, and they are then fed
ip? * mechanical conveyor into a suc*
cession of three retort chambers of
~ increasing temperatures. Coke re?11*;mains
as a residue, while the con11^1?'
densed gases yield oil, toluol, am{
monia, paraffin wax,' and acetone,
lipWith peat at about $2 a ton it is estimated
That a profit of at least $3.50
;: ^to $5 a ton will be realized. This
0$', estimate does not include the toluol
and acetone which may prove more
6jp|('C valuable than all other products.
:1' A.new method of electric solder
IiUg does away witn tne neaimg ui
the soldering iron by means of resistance
coils, a process usually taking
ten to twenty minutes. Two
v high-resistance points of carbon or
f carborundum are placed a fraction of
an inch apart, and the portion of the
: jarticle to be soldered is made to
} bridge across this space, the passage
of the electric current through the
points quickly makes them incandescent,
applying the heat at once to
the surfaces of be joined. Not only
is much time saved, but the loss of
muqh heat is avoided.
: As a light of great brilliancy, the
i|i: 'Hylh white flame electric arc has advantages,
some of which were noted by
W. R. Mott in a late American Electro-Chemical
society paper. A constant
intensity may be maintained
throughout the 24 hours if desired,
and, fed by a current of 25 amperes,
' the light at a distance of two feet is
more intense than summer sunlight.
Such a light is of special value in
testing such materials as dyes and
paints. It is the cheapest and most
powerful light for photo-engraving,'
and is growing in use for other pho&
rtographic processes, and for chemical
manufacturing at night.
Experimental psychology has a
wide field of usefulness in fitting inHivMiiai?;

places, and aiding employers to select

The experience of the New York
Telephone Co., acting on the advice
of Dr. J. W. Baird, psychologist of
. Clark University, suggests that much
more is possible. To add 35,000 new
names to the already overgrown directory
seemed to call for further increase
in bulkiness or a type unreadably
small, and it was to overcome
this difficulty that scientific aid was

This is a matter of deep political
importance, for the Fifteenth congressional
district will have to be
split if Dr. Charles Russell Lowell
Putman continues to make business
for Surrogate Cohalan and the supreme
court and increase the district's

Last Friday, it is recorded in the

Nora .McCarthy, who was born February
11, 1910. This is the seventh
child that the specialist in children's
diseases has legally taken into his

died and her father deserted her.
Dr. Putman took her from the Chil

There are now eight children in

other children are Russell, 9; Sebastian

HIGHWAY COMMISSION DEAD.
House Kills Measure by Very Decisive
Vote of Sixty to Thirty-Seven.
Columbia, Feb. 2.?There must
evidently be psychology in legislation
as there is in other matters. Yesterday,
after Air. Berry's argument in
favor of the highway commission
bill, the general impression was that
the committee bill would have passed
had a vote been taken at that time.
The vote was not taken and a night
intervened. Today, when the house
did vote, very much to the surprise
of every one, the bill undertaking to
create a highway commission out of
a fund to be derived from automobile
licenses was killed by a decisive
vote of 60 to 37. There isn't very
much use speculating why the bill
was killed, but there were a great
many things that combined to impair
the possibility of the bill becoming
law. First, was the idea that a new
commission was to be established,
and the legislature is actually afraid
of the word "commission" at this
time. Second, there were so many
different bills an$ many wanted their
particular view to be adopted. Third,
there was confusion to the exact force
of the proposed bill. Fourth, many
members wanted the revenue derived
from- the automobile tax spent immediately
in the county where the tax
was collected. Fifth, there was objection
to the personnel of the proposed
commission. But what's the
use to figure on the reasons. Sufficient
to say that the committee and
the different bills looking for the establishment
of a State highway commission
were killed. There is a possibility
later on in the session of another
measure along different lines
beine: nroDosed.
A number of counties are proposing
and passing bills looking to the
taxation of automobiles and have the
fund thereby derived expended on
road work.

sought. By trials with dummy sheets
of differing plan, it was found that
32 persons selected a number from
the type arrangement in an average
of 9.28 seconds, while 10.35 seconds
were required with the old book. The
arrangement thus indicated "was accordingly
adopted for the new book,
which is compressed laterally instead
of using type smaller vertically, and
has four columns to the page instead
of the former three. And this seemingly
more easily read arrangement,
with 11 names to the inch instead of
12, shorten the directory 150 pages

Food^and other vegetable material
for human needs must in the future
be greatly increased in quantity and
improved in quality as a result of
the work of experimenters. The
United States department of agriculture
established its section of seed
and plant introduction in 1907, and
up to last July more than 40,000
varieties were introduced. In the
i last year, over 2,000 varieties were
introduced, while more than 500
shipments of experimental seeds and
plants were made to experimenting
institutions in foreign lands. In the
year, 171,831 experimental plants
and 1 1,4 65 packets of seeds were distributed
to home experimenters, and
were recorded for future reference.

The high temperature?calculated at
not less than 126.5 degrees F.?is

Present ventilation offers little cooling,

of the air are expected to make practicable

AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS.
The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing
and leave the system in a rundown
condition. The kidneys seem
to suffer most, as almost every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to dangerous kidney trou
bles.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing
gffect on the kidneys, which is almost
immediately noticed in most
:ases by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who
nav be in need of it. Better get a
bottle from your nearest drug store,
and start treatment at once.
However, if "you wish first to test
