Barjot is put into practice. | Dr. Barjot first outlined his plan be- fore the Academy of Sciences in Paris last December, and since then it has been published in Comptes Rendu, the journal of the academy. The writer | has received from Dr. Barjot additional | data and drawings elaborating this plan Much discussion has revolved about the possible future of the human race| when the earth becomes cold. Dr. Bar- Jjot has answered the question in a very practical way. So long as we can find temperature _ differences, regardless of | how low they may be, we can generate power and heat.

As an example of the power available, it is pointed out that freezing a cubic meter of ice lib- erates as much heat as 22 pounds of coal. We ordinarily use coal to produce heat to vaporize water to steam and cold water to condense the steam again. Thus we have coal, steam and cold water as the three necessary factors in steam power production.

NEW YORK, May 3.—The Museum of the Peaceful Arts, at 24 West Fortieth street, has on view an’exhibit in its ed- ucational smoke room. This exhibit, presented by the Spencer Lens Co. of Buffalo, shows the molecular motion of the smoke particles. It is operated en- tirely by the visitor without the aid of a guide. The visitor merely blows a puff of cigarette smoke or the smoke of a match, into a funnel, and with a hand bulb it is sucked into the field of view of the microscope. The visitor is surprised to see thou- sands of tiny stars in the field of view. It is almost like the milky way, except, instead of twinkling stars, they are vibrating stars. One rarely sees vibrat- ing stars except in dreams, but these tiny stars are vibrating, as if they were living creatures. They are, however, more methodical in their motion than living creatures would be. Their jumps vary as much as tenfold. Sometimes it is observed they jump because they hit another star, but in general, they are making jumps without being hit by anything. and as the visitor observes this motion, he naturally asks: “What is it?” Many people might think that it was the motion of living cells; in fact, when this motion of molecules was first dis- among experts as to whether it was a motion due to life, or whether it was,| purely physical. It was decided, how- ever, that it was molacular motidn re- sulting from the bombardment of the particles or molecules, by the surround- ing air molecules, and it has known ever since as the Brownian movement. o~ «Omit the Flowers!” —SAID OUR MEN’S CLOTHING MANAGER E was talking to the Advertising Department about the writing of this advertisement. “Don’t make it flowery,” he said—“when clothes are as fine as these, fine phrases can’t make them any better. as the material to be vaporized and a frozen brine as the condensing matcrial. Pumping Process Simple. Pumping the water from which the ‘theat lspm‘be extracted presents no dif- ficulty. The hydrocarbon to be vapor- ized might be propane, butane or pe- troleum by-products, = today largel¥ wasted. As the material is condensed and used over and over again the cosh of this is not a great factor. Low pres- sure turbines capable of using such pres sure differences are available. One problem is producing the cryo- hydrate as a refrigerant. The brine can be obtained naturally in many places. A power plant of this type placed on_the banks of Hudson Bay, The air molecules, however, are too small to be seen in the microscope, hence one can only see the larger smoke molecules in motion. It is ob- served, however, that the molecules from the cigarette have a slightly greater agitation than the smoke molecules from a match. The museum has not yet explained whether the attractiveness of cigarette smoke is the cause of this more active motion, but the director of the exhibit has intimated that it may be a relationship between the activity and the attractiveness of smoke. This exhibit will be followed by a number of others, showing the proper- ties of matter in general, and the smoke room will have a dozen attractive ex- hibits.

FITTSBURGH, Pa, May 3.—The controversy between the Liberal Club, a student organization. and officials of the University of Pittsburgh culminated yesterday in the discharge of Frederick J. Woltman, graduate assistant in phi- losophy, and expulsion of Willlam Al- bertson and William McDowell, stu- dents. ’ In announcing the school’s action, J. C. Gow, executive secretary of the uni- versity, said it was taken because of the trio’s activity in the Liveral Club.
