L. Seonsler of the University of California. Dr. Sponsier obtained images of structures which correspond in size and shape to the figures constructed by mathematical physicists to fit th chemical formula of cellul wall substance, with its 6 atoms of carbon. 10 of hydrogen and 5 of ox gen. It is therefore inferred tha these are pictures of the celluluac rules themselves. The units seem to be attached Inic parallel chains which run lengthwise of the fiber: the chains, however, are not so firmly bound together later ally,” sald Dr. Sponsler. “Such a structure is in agreement with many physical properties of the fiber and bhas a bit of chemical evidence in its favor. On the other hand, it does not agree with the organic chemist'sthe ory of linkage in the cellulose mole cule.” Jack No Dreamer. the Madrid Buen Humor. May—I1 married thought he w a dr June—And now?
