Continued from Fourth Page does not consist of pure oxygen because we would burn up too fast if nature had not added a dilution of other gases. Helium, argon, xenon, krypton, neon—gases unknown until recent years because they occur in minute quantities— when first found were supposed to be elements of no special value. Btrr Dr. Hershey discovered that the envelope around the earth was not an accidental compound, but a mixture of gas which happens to be adequate for animal life on this planet, Using a 5-gallon jar for the compounding of his atmospheric prescriptions, Dr. Hershey housed a collection of guinea pigs, snakes, rats, mice, pigeons and monkeys in his mixtures and discovered that the rarer gases were essential to life. One of his series of experiments kept the animals in an atmosphere of oxygen and nitro- gen in the same percentages as they exist in ordinary air, but with all of the minor gases lacking. The animals survived only a few days, thus proving that although they constitute less than 1 per cent of the air we breathe, helium, argon, krypton, xenon and carbon dioxide are essential to the maintenance of life and that these elements perform a mysterious function in the preservation of existence. He found that no animal could live in any - one of the atmospheric gases for any length of time. Oxygen was a lethal element within a few days except when supplied to water animals under natural conditions. Dr. Hershey tried mixing oxygen with one other gas, and these mixtures would not maintain life processes ex- cept in combination with argon and helium. With a mixture of 79 per cent helium and 21 per cent oxygen he was able to keep the ani- mals alive and in good health for long periods. 12 Prevaricator. 13 Small pie. 21 Famous foot ball coach. 23 Scotch-Irish. 25 Medicinal plant. 26 Peels. ~ 40 Slandered.

(Copyright, 1930.) Grain Pests Persistent. Even when grain has been harvested, despite the onslaught of various insect pests, the product is not free from attack. In fact, some of the most serious damage is done to grain after it has been placed in storage, for the insects which attack at that time bore from within. The larvae are inside the grain seed and their presence is not disclosed until the damage is done. Any one of 46 species of insects.may damage stored grain. With the exception of the afore- mentioned major pests—the rice weevil, the that is unbroken and in‘'good condition, quickly follow after the attack of one of major pests and help complete
