¥ j O | i i - SOAP BUBBLES 4PAGE TWO THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER INTACT A YEAR Scientific Society Gives Informa- tion on Sir James Dewar’s Test. ALWAYS MYSTERY TO SCIENGE When. Bubble Becomes Very Old It Offers Only Possible Example of the Molecule Visible to the Naked Eye. Philadelphia, Pa.—Facts about the prodigious strength of soap bubbles, proved by experiments in which bub- Bles were kept intact for more than a year and subjected to all sorts of weight strains, were made public here for the first time by the Franklin In- stitute, one of the oldest scientific so- cleties in the United States. Important to Chemists. Coming on the heels of the an- nouncement of Einstein’s discoverles of the gravitational bending of light, the exploitation of the soap bubble is on the other end of the scale as to size, yet, according to scientists, is of tremendous importance to chemists, physicists and research workers in the strength of materials and essential ele- ments. The man who made the experi- ment is universally recognized as one of the leading sclentists in the world. He is Sir James Dewar, LL. D, D. Sc., F. R. S, Fullerian Professor of Chem- istry, Royal Institution of Great Britain, and an honorary member of the Franklin Institute. The soap bubble is a simple thing, yet it has always been more or less a mystery to sclentists. They consider 1t perhaps the best phenomenon exist- Ing for the study of the habits and {diosyncrasies of the molecule. Scientists now claim, on the strength of the experiment made by 8ir James Dewar, that when a soap bubble becomes very old, say in three or four days, it offers the only pos- sible example of the molecule visible to the naked eye. Most parts of the bubble are estimated to conmsist of about one hundred layers of molecules. But by various methods of treatment the bubble is induced to perform “gtunts” untll in black spots whick appear it represents only a single lay- er of molecules. Remarkable Strength. This layer is so thin that Sir James estimates it would take one and one- third million like it, superimposed, to make an Inch. Yet, when the soap bub- ble is permitted to mature in air that has been freed of its natural enemfies, it 18 so strong that it will support drops of water many times its own welght before breaking. Sometimes a bubble is torn from its supporting ring by the weight before the molecules re- lease their bulldog grip. INDIAN PAINTINGS ON CLIFFS Owner Offers Them to State or Na. tional Authorities to include in Park. Austin, Tex.—The most remarkable Indian paintings or photographs in the Southwest have heen offered to state or national authorities, provided the cliffs upon which they are drawn are Inclosed in a park and adequately guarded. according to J. E. Pearce, as- sociate professor of anthropology of the University of Texas. These paintings, which are owned by E. D. $ims of Paint Rock are lo- cated aleng the banks of the Concho river near Paint Rock, upon every avallable surface for a half-mile. They are In deep red. with an occasional black figure or character. All phases of the early tribes are represented. Mr. Pearce declares, and s0 much valunble historical material 18 included In these paintings that Mr. Pearce will have them copled in scale for a report to the Smithsonian Insti- tutton, for which he is doing research work. Old Letter Settles Case. Wilmington, Del.—An age-worn, tat- tered letter and three words In the codicill of Jesse Chandler settled a long-pending case chancery recently when Chancellor Curtis issued an order that Samuel M. Harvev of West Chester, Pa., be paid $14,500 from the estate. Ilarvey’s wife, one of the 38 legatees he was suing. lost the suit, but will have a half share in the money awarded. Harvey had agreed with Jesse Chandler to bny‘lGG acres of farmland in Christiana Hun- dred for $20,000. When Chandler die¢ before the deal was completed he stip- ulated in his will that the farm should be sold for that amount to Harvey. Meanwhile the farm had been sold for $34,500, and while the legatees contend- ed that the entire amount ‘should be divided. Harvey claimed that only $20,- 000, or his agreed purchase price, should be divided. The court upheld his contention. Peculiar Bird. Stanford, Ky.—Mrs. Roberts, who lives just beyond Rowland, caught the other day a peculiar member of the bird or fowl species, known as a grebe. It has sowething of the appearance of a duck, but can neither walk nor fly. It is carried from one place to another on land by heavy wind and is much more at home on water than on land. It was brought to town and ex- hibited by N. W. Fowle and was later purchased by Sam Gentry. in the court of | ART WORKS MA DE FROM FLOUR SACKS It 18 difficult to believe that these three gOrgeous Works of art were originally ordinary flour sacks. such as are seem on the floor. Yet they are the works of Belgian artists who created them in aid of the Belgian relief, and they are on exhibition in a Fifth avenue gallery in New York. New Process for Drying seets. By the recently devised new process in sugar making, it is claimed that nearly 70 per cent of the water of beet roots can be extracted on the @spot where they are grown. Thus dried, the material keeps indefinite- ly; it can be transported to places where fuel is plentiful, even over long distances; and it can be accumulated in stocks sufficient to keep factories running continuously, instead of re- quiring to be used up In a short sea- son. The same process is suggested for treating fruits and vegetables de- signed for industrial-alcohol distiller- fes. ACCOMMODATING. “What!” bellowed the bald-head- ed man. “Fifty cents for a hair cut?” “That’s the new price, sir,” an- swered the barber. “Why, I only have a little ring of hair around my ears.” “Very well, sir. If you wish me to, I’ll trim your ears without extra charge.” Twe Countries’ Wheat Production. The average of wheat production in the United States is something llke 131 bushels to the acre, and Great Britaip is about the same. 1 SRS 3 i x- 2. HAD AN OBJECT IN- POSING Moose Didn’t Stand for Her Photo- graph Just to Accomodate the Camera Holder. A moose out in the wilds does not stop to pose for her picture. There is generally a reason for the peculiar actions of wild things. In the current issue of tke Hunter-Trader-Trapper, published in Columbus, 0., hunters write of their experience. “We had an early start Thursday and Sam soon proclaimed that his pipe foretold moose. The first bend was rounded and knee-deep In the water stood a fat sleek cow. Our canoe advanced toward her, the camera set for an exposure. Sam called softly and she advanced a hun- dred feet toward us, ears erect, with a curious ‘what are you' manner. “At 75 feet she stopped and posed for the picture, and then waited ugtil we were 50 feet away before she turned into the woods. At the top of the bank she waited for us to pass be- fore crashing into the timber. “Her action was explained when we turned the bend and at the water's edge saw her calf, a fine four or five months’ old fellow, which climbed the bank -nd was away after her at once.” THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS : GRINAGER'S .
