Bou lenger, direcior of ' the TLondon {¢oo’s Aquarium, calls “Zoo Nights Entertainments” have been inaug uraied from 9 till 11 P, on Thursdays and Saturdays, when all nocturnalg invisible in the day time are on view and the rest are seen in repose. The zoo, in Regent’s Park, as has often been pointed out, has both its popular and social side: the latter ig represented by mem bers of the British Zoological So ciety—statesmen, artists writers, and fashionables with their friends ~—who use the bplzce for conversa tion, meditation and observation. It has been so from thke days of Thackeray, Falmsterton and Bul wer. And now at night this 80~ cial phase Is said to predominate —between dinner and dances. | In an article printed in The Oh server, Mr. Boulenger expatriates on some of the wonders which may be seen at Zoo Nights Entertain ments: “In the rodent house. for exam ple, is gathered together a number of widely drverse creatureg whose common interest is a love of dark ness. Normally their only visitor is the night watchman. Here one may meet the great ant-eater, that egg-layingl mammal the echidna the numerous lemurs and other half monkeys such as the little, gaglagos and douracoulis | Fruit Bats Come to Life . “In the same house are some ant fruit bats that by day sug &lt badly rolled umbrellas. At night they show themselves re markably, active and perfectly adapied to their peculiar mode of life. 'Whilst strap-hanging with their thumbs they can convey food to their mouths with their feet The species shown is extremely hardy and often produce youns the menageries, which the mater nal parents nurse in their wings, using the expansive membrane as a cradle, “The large jerboas likewise whke up at dusk, but their extraordinary leaping powers will not be appre ated in the space at present avail able for them., In the wild when hard-pressed they are said to try the best efforts of a greyhound for them. In the wild when hard pressed they are said to stry the best. efforts of a greyhound for a short distance.” Then there is the Australian podagus or frog-mouth, a giant bird similar to the KEnglish night -200 specimens aprear to bhe stuffed, appear like the work of taxider= mists, so soundly do they sleep by day. ~ ‘The majority of biids only stir abroad by day. Exceptions are the owls and the Australian podagus or frog-mouth-——a giant edition of our native nightjar, By light of day 700 specimens appear to be stuffey Adcording to some accounts the bird sleeps so soundly that it can be lifted from its perch without ‘waking, and is also said to enjoy Buch sound slumber as to remain nconcerned when a gun shot is ;md within a few yards of its Perch. At Regents Park, however, expe rience shows that it takes a very alert view of the world through its half-closed lids, for at the slightest sugestion of a 4 frog or mouse the immense eyes and mouth which literally halves the birds's Nad become fully “6pened with Btartling suddenness, . Entertaining Feitures - “Both by day and night theyib iaim' wonadrsu: vocal erforts are now recognized as one of the most entertaining features of the gar dens. The apes are, however—like fjhany vocalists — temperamental, and it will be found that when the loud speaker opposite thei cage is discoursing popular airs the gib bons automatically relapse inth gilence. Apparently ‘they realize the hopelessness of competing with the amplified band, and wisely reserve their song until thry are once more able to clfalm the public’s un divided attenticns. ~“In the insect house dusk calls into activity such creatures as giant millipedes, huge tropical land ¢nails, and the colony of land «<rabs from the Gamhia. Most startling of all, perhaps, are the land hermit crabs from various tropical countries. The strength of ’::;ae crustaceans niust be prodi gious, for although encumbered by heavyy shells they scale tolerably high bushes, amongst the branches ©f which they raid birds’ nests ith dittle fear of suffering re ﬁisals from the outraged occu pants, Thére are instances of these erabs entering houses and burglar fouly decamping with small house hold utensils.” At the aquariam an artificial bunch-light is prriodically on and Eff so as not to disturb the occu pants more than is necessary: “Thus, a¢ night such lively fish as perch, char, bream, barbel and gurnards will be found asleep. Seme of the inhabitants of the aguarium rest at night in a hori zontal pocition on the tank floor, others midway Dbetween the tank floor and the surface and a few at the surface. Darkness spells a com plete cessation of aetivity for cer tain fiches that in the day-time swim about in shoals. By dalight the mullet, for instance, sweep round their domain in a compact shoal, each member avid for any focod that cffers, : “At night the shoal i» dispersed. each fish pointing » a aifferent . boint of the cor pa~z and all inter ssts presumably in abeyance, !J ailed in Kansas ' Bond Scandal e, e SRR S, G R N Ry B s % G o RAR i p A iy L .

NEW USES FOR LINT SOUGHT BY SOVIET Russian Chemists Study Ways to Utilize Waste Product of Cottonseed NEW YORK.—New uses for lint, once a waste product of cotton seed, are sought by the Soviet Cotton Trust of Middle Asia, B, T. Ardashef of the Institute for Technological Chemistry of the U. S. 8. R. reports in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, the jour nal of the American Chemical So ciety. Problems of applying lint indus trially, Mr. Ardashef asserts, are linked with the perfection of a chemical process for delinting cottonseed. While American chemists already have worked out a suitable chemical method em ploying sulphuric acid, he dis closes that Soviet experiments with gaseous hydrochloric acid in Tashkent, U. 8. 8. R, have proved even more satisfactory. After ginning and removing first-cut linters, Mr Addashef ex plains, the seed is still covered with short-staple interfelted fiber amounting to about 10 percent of the weight of the seed. This fiber —or lint—is chemically nearly pure cellulose, which may on re finemént be used to make. artifi cial silk and other celluloge pro ducts. “If were removed from the seed,” he adds, “it could be used in industry as cellulose. A re moval of 8 percent could yield 85,000 tons of linters annually, based on the 1921 crop of Middle Asia. These linters when purified and with a yield of 80 |percent would become 68 tans of cellulose. Poorest Part For Alcchol “Under the Soviet gaseous hy drochloric acid process the lint is easily removed by brushing. It may then be applied in the manu facture of lacquers for metals, while the pcorest product may be used - for alcohol production by hyprolysis and fermentation. “The method of removing lint from cottonseed by the action of hydrochloric acid is not new, as a method of determining the pubes cence of cottonseed lis based on ‘the use of aqueous hydrogen chlo rid. The industrial application of the idea, however, is undoubtedly new and worthy of serious thought. ~ “The procedure may not be on a ‘wet basis. The present investiga tion is on a dry process, The ex penditure of aeid is insignificant, as only 2 to 3 percent of acid, as sulphuric, is required in the gase ous hydrcohloric acid process, compared with 30 percent in the sulphuric acid method. “Sulphuric acid is used as the basis of comparison because it is more expedient to prepare hydro chloric acid in the Soviet labora tories of the cotton trust from sulphuric acid and sodium chlo ride (salt), which is found every where in Middle Asia, The pow dery product obtained is readily transported or stored, while the sulphuric acid method the product is an unstable liquid, Germination Energy Increased “Results of the Soviet tests with gaseous hydrochloric acid showed that complete removal of the lint is accomplished with the acid in a quantity equal only to 2 percent of the weight of the seed. The moisture of the seed itself was utilized in carrying out the treat ment. Treating seeds with gase ous hydrochloric acid does not change their germination, and in fact, actually increases the germi nation energy. This method, car ried out under mild conditions, subsequently removes the lint and washes the seeds in water. 'The time required lis from fifteen to thirty minutes at 20 degrees Cen tigrade and only seven minutes at 40 to 60 degrees Centigrade. “The sulfuric method, with its favorable effect on germination, combined with disinfection and sorting, is clearly superior to me chanical delinting for the purpose lof sowing. “The acid consumption is about 30 percent of the weight of the seed. Special packing and equip ment are necessary to transport the acid. The acid solution ot the dinters is comparatively . unstable, and it is difficult to recover -the theoretical quantity of alcohol. Also, a valuable chemical sub- THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA } Services Are Held For Late Mrs. Hulme Sirme———— P | Funeral services for Mrs..«-Georguf H.
