MGHT LIFE SHOWN
AT LORDON'S 700
Public Gets Fascinating
Glimpses of Creatures
Active After Dark
LONDON — What E. C. 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,

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-

“These disadvantages are avoid- |
ed by the hydrochloric acid de- |
linting process. This method has |
not passed beyond the semi-plant |
stage in America on account of |
difficulties in operating it on an'
industrial scale. - Cheapness and |
convenience of sowing, the possi- |
bilities of covering large areas in |
