COURSE EXPLANS CHANGES N ATONS Ambidexterity Results in Vital Differences in Molecules, | Chemistry Reveals. | P~ the Associated Press, TTHACA, N. Y. May 8.—Right and | « handed patterns of atomic arrange- | in molecuies are explained in a { al course in chemistry this semester | at Cornell University i Great stress is laid on the astonish- ing changes brought about tiny changes | in the patterns of atoms. 1 The course is by Prof. F. M. Jacger, | non-resident lecturer in chemistry. who comes as a visitor from the goverrment | University of Groningen, Netherlands. | There are substancies built up h"[ equs) members of the same atoms. dif-, ferifig only in configurations analogous | to the differences beiween two gloves of | a pair. ‘ Effects Differ Widely. | On first sight this appears to be an | unimportant detail, but it is not. For. | although the most common commercial | pronerties of right and left handed phases are the same, they differ widely in their effects upon the human body. As an example, Dr. Jaeger says a syn- | thetic form of nicotine exists, quite different in its effects from that present in smoking tobacco. This nicotine is! found to be twofold less poisonous than | the form produced by nature. ‘The molecular pattern in the natural | product is left handed, while the syn- | thetic nicotine has its atoms arranged | in a right handed form. The synthetic, | low poison nicotine has been made only | in laboratories. Dr. Jaeger says it is too | difficult and expensive by present meth- | ods for commercial production. “And,” he adds, “perhaps its effects| ‘would be so different that tobacco users ‘would not care for it.” Teaching Double Uses. Dr. Jaeger is teaching graduate stu- dents how this right and left handed- ness exists in most products of nature; how by it frequently two substances of quite different effects are produced, al- though they are composed of precisely | the same constituents. Thus it happens that one such sub- stance has a sweet taste and the other is insipid. One has quite a different odor from the other. Nature is prone to make only one variety, but almost never both. Chemists, however, some- times discover methods of making the | suppressed kind even for commercial ‘use. Occasionally the synthetic substances develop important medical uses. A re- markable instance is belladonna. The natural product, which is right handed, strongly enlarges the pupil of the eye, and is used to increase the luster of the feminine eye. But the left handed form, which can be made in the laboratory, has no effect on the iris. More than half the modern farming machinery and implements introduced into Chile in the last seven years were Follow the advice of doctors everywhere — let the health- iving rays of the sun come into contact with little bodies.
