“Until the advent of the cellulose
casing, no suitable synthetic casing
had ever been devised which could
satisfactorily replace the animal cas-
ing, in spite of the fact that, even
with the greatest care, cleaners and
graders of natural casings were unable
to turn out a really clean and uni-
formly calibrated article or one which
would be of long lengths, free from
holes, weak spots, deterioration, or
other defects,” declares the report.
After experiments with gelatin, ca-
sein plastics, carbohydrates, and
starches, the material found most sat-
isfactory was a high grade type of pu-
rified cotton linters. It is converted
into a plastic condition by the viscose
process.
A machine was devised to make the
casings in the laboratory, where a
great deal of research was done, us-
ing many kinds of viscose and also
trying various kinds of modifiers with
the viscose. About 100 feet of cas-
ing from one filling could be made
with the laboratory machine,
To make a considerable supply o:
one type of casing a unit plant was
erected in a small building at the in-
stitute. Later, the casings were tried
out under normal factory conditions.
It was found that the synthetic cas-
ngs could be stuffed with the meat
while dry, eliminating the preliminary
soaking process required bv ordinary
casings, and that the stuffing opera-
tion could be done much more quickly
with the dry casings. Immediately
after stufling the case acquires mois-
ture from the meat filler and hecomes
soft and pliable.
Diameter May Be Any Size.
Drying the casings before stuffing,
by surrounding the moist cases with a
thin cloth tube and inflating by air
pressure, made it possible to control
the diameter of the casing at will,
and make it uniform throughout the
entire length.
“This is a very important feature
in the sausage industry and is some-
thing which has never been realized
in the manufacture of animal cas-
ings,” says the report.
“The thickness is controlled me:
chanically and for a casing one inch
in diameter, which is the same as the
best sheep casing, the film employed
. 4s about: 0.0008 inch in thickness.
“For the average wiener the cellu-
:08e casing weighs less than 0.20 gram
and comprises about 0.4 per cent of
the total weight, which is less than
the crude fiber content of many of our
common foods.”
Reindeer Thrive in U. S.,
Herders Have Discovered
Anchorage, Alaska. — Experiments
nade in Alaska during last summer
prove that reindeer do not necessarily
require moss and lichen for food. This
discovery eventually will lead to radi-
cal changes in the industry and make
is possible to raise deer in Washing-
ton, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and possibly Maine.
Tor years it was believed reindeer
ould not thrive except on the tundra
or swamp herbage, but in the long
drive of 5,000 reindeer from Nome to
Cantwell, near Mount McKinley, it
was noticed the animals fed exclusive-
ly on fireweed, coarse grass and other
vegetable matter.
Where this rough vegetation grows
profusely, as in the northern tier of
states, reindeer should flourish, ex-
perienced herders declare.
In the new location on the Alaska
callroad the big herd will have both
its native moss and the herbage. It
is expected attempts will be made to
teach the deer to like the taste of hay
and ensilage.

trolled. They would provide vastly
more power than would be needed to
operate all the machinery ever con-
structed throughout the whole world.
“Again, for example, if the hydro-
gen contained in two teaspoonfuls of
water were converted into helium, it
is reasonable to believe that 200,000
kilowatt hours of energy would be
liberated.
“It is my honest conviction along
scientific lines that the time is com-
ing, say in about 200 years, when the
energy of the atom will be so con-
centrated as to do the work of the
entire human race.”
Plant Life Is Traced
to North Pole Origin
Philadelphia.—The evolution of
modern plants and of modern climates
began together at the North pole some
six or seven million years ago, when
the last of the dinosaurs were still
lumbering about the earth. It con-
tinued with increasing speed through
the tertiary age, which followed, until
the comparatively recent time of the
glaciers. It was during this time, ac-
cording to the record of the rocks,
that the plants of the earth began to
show evidences of_ being divided into
growth zones influenced by climate;
until then all the earlier plants were
of types such as now grow in the
tropics, and they
evenly over the whole earth, indicat-
ing the prevalence of a uniformly
warm climate.
At the meeting of the American Bo-
tanical society here Dr. Arthur Hol-
lick of the New York Botanical Gur-
den outlined the evidence for his
theory that the first temperate zone
plant life evolved in the polar regions.
The higher forms of flowering plants,
he said, are primarily adaptations to
a climate of alternating warm and
cold seasons, and their final invasion
of the still uniformly warm tropics
has been recent and is a matter of
competition with the plants they found
there rather than a response to a
climatic urge.
It is in the tropics today that the
only relics of the vegetation of an
earlier world, the cycada and similar
plants, remain to contest with the late-
coming modern plants for a foothold.
Plant fossils of tertiary age from the
tropics are very little different from
‘the living plants of the same regions,
whereas tertiary fossils from the re-
gions of the earth where winter comes
show evidences of radical and rapid
evolution,

Chinese Use Razors,
but Not to Shave
Shanghai,—If one in ten of
China’s 400,000,000 population
passed ten minutes a day shav
ing, the aggregate time con-
sumed would represent in round
numbers 760 years per shave.
But the Chinese wastes no
time in shaving his face. He is
a beardless individual and the
only use he has for a razor is
in the process of hair cutting.
Shears or clippers will not
do, and ome of the common
sights in any Chinese city street
is an itinerant barber with a
razor, resembling a diminutive
butcher's cleaver, engaged in re-
ducing a coolie’s head to the
semblance of a billiard ball, The

Britain Busy on Wireless Telephone.
The British Post Office is working
cvertime to get wireless telephone
communication opened up between
New York and London early in the
Year.
Daily tests are now going on, and
the general view of the officials is that
the “hello girl” will make the best
operator for the new service.
A special plant at Rugby operates
the wireless telephony, and all mes-
sages will be automatically relayed
from there 3,000 miles across the At-
lantic. No special exchange in Lon-
don will be necessary, the ordinary
repeater section of the trunk system,
which amplifies the voice over the line,
will be used.
In other experiments up to now, dif-
ficulty has been experienced in main-
taining communication after 1:50 p. |
m. (New York time) owing to at-
mospherics. The cost of a three min-
utes call between London and New
York will be fixed at $75.
