A SCIENCE WANTS GOLDNEL DROPS Conditions on Pacific Held Ideal for Great Modern Manufacturing Industry Chemists Are Buildin BERKELEY June 21 Artificial silk, nitrocellulose explosives and other synthetically manufactured materials are eoon to be produced In large quantities on the Pacific coast.

This was the forecast made today by Benson, professor of chemical engineering at the University of Washington, before the American Chemical Society at the A. A. A. S. here.

"Because of its abundant cheap power, Intelligent labor and raw materials, this coast is soon to play an important part In chemical In dustries," Benson declared. "The United States has sdvanced during the last 25 years from a position of comparative Insignificance in chemical Industry to world leadership with an annual production exceeding $4,275,000,000 and a domestic consumption of more than 90 per cent. This extraordinary growth has not yet. reached the Pacific coast, for until recently the west has taken little part In this field of development. "Nevertheless this Section is lacking tn the potentialities Of great Industrie, and the time Is coming when, we will participate fully In them.

Ours is the task or subjugating nature and converting great stores of natural resources lpto commodities shall flow Into the chatinels.of trade and reach world markets."

Science, after measuring almost everything else in the universe, has now sought to apply Us yardstick to human skill. Details of a measurln gdevice for this purpose were described by H.

Cyclones Laid to Atmospheric 'Fault' BERKELEY1- June' 21. The causa ot oyclotlss In the far. western states, was revealed today in a report, a meeting the American Meteorological society, by E.

H. Bowie meteorologist in charge of the United States department of agriculture wea.ther bureau at Ban Francisco. An atmosphereio "fault," formerly unknown to the scientific world, Is the "breeding" place of these cyclones, Bowie, explained to tho society. fault, caused by failure of two atmospheric strata to 'fit, is notably defined during the warm summer months, and not infrequently advances eastward," the meteorologist said. "While, the fault, advances it produces within it many of our cyclones that are first observed in the summer season- over the far western states.

The two masses of air Involved In the formation of the fault are the hot, dry air of the Interior of the war west, and the oo id- humid air of the waters off our western coast. The faults are in a sense, of geological Rata Prove Mental "A Traits Inherited BERKELEY, June 31. If a rat la intelligent, his progeny are likely to inherit: his mental ability.

Tryon hopes to prove that mental ability can be Inherited, a point over- which psychologists have disputed for years. He drives his rats through a maze, and holds a stop watch on them to aee how long It takes tbem to find -their way out. The rats which learn the exit most quickly are parents -of the smartest baby rats, he believes.

EvanS, chairman of the University of California anatomy department, and -discoverer of two vitamins, and Olive Swezy; The report; Tead at a meeting of thirteenth annual convention of the Pacific division, American Association for the Advancement of Science, showed that the germ plasm theory, by which it was be-; Ueved hereditary characteristics wsre handed down from one generation to- -another, is Incorrect. Studies on men and animals have demonstrated, the report states, the germ cells, heretofore thought to remain unaltered throughout life; are in reality being constantly formed, and destroyed from before birth- until old age Is reached.

Home By Various Trans-, portation, From Autos to Airplanes Or Railroads Oakland figuratively stood on Its tip'oes today and said' farewell to 1000 delegates of the Pacific Advertising Clubs association who, -with their five-day convention now -vivid memory, prepared to return to their homes. By automobile, steamer and airplane they left ths city, convinced, according to the expressions of many, "that the convention was the best ever held in the '26 years of the organization." i Every state, on the west coast will greet their return from the Canadian border to ths Mexican line. Members of the organization said today that the convention was the busiest ever held and that the results attained were the most helpful. Perhaps the most Important work of the lay in the adop tion oy the organization ot a cooperative program of expansion, due to be Inaugurated Immediately and to continue for the next five years.

1901 Dr. Leuschner and Professor R. T. Crawford and Astronomer F. E.

The scientists then believed work would hold true' until 1930. and' would then have to be refigured on the basis of motion actually observed In these plants. eornputatlons were so. accurate, that, it Is now believed the original figures probably hold good for many years to come, the.

"Thus the. alcohol is seen to be thickest at the top, and consequently the top of the drink Is strongest," the chemist declared In a non-technical explanation in conjunction with his lecture.

Other diagrams shown included chains of soap atoms forming molecules that looked like bristles of two scrubbing' brushes stuck' together; a thin film of oil on water, with long molecules forming the layer like little parallel a microscopic particle of rubber latex something similar In shape to' a tadpole with a "skin" which has to be' torn open to get at a honey-Ilke substance in its center, and squads- of molecules- lined up In ranks and performing flanking evolutions like drill teams In a certain kind of cocoanut oil soap. The last diagram; was of plain watetvr molecules which, though somewhat Jumbled in still demonstrated McBain's contention that the building materials of matter tend to, arrange themselves In fixed designs mostly parallel.

Dr. McBain's next prise from his scientific bag- of tricks was a liquid which he "would up" by rotation Jn a glass decanter. "The liquid, ammonium oleate, a soapy fluid enly slightly thicker than water, elopped and "unwound Itself" when he Stopped the rotation. His explanation was that the "fibrils" or ehalns of colloid particles, similar to those In Jelly, were stretched Or straightened by the motion, but curved again and thus became shorter when it stopped.

Their shortening caused the liquid to move the other way In the decanter. Next he gave girls an Idea of what they might see If could look at a speck of platinum from their engagement rings in solution under the, 2 ray. The known as an unstable colloid particle, appeared in the diagram he threw en the screen as a block 'of 20 platinum atoms, set In four "even rows of each. This block "was surrounded by'a complex platinum compound similar to water, known as hexahy-droxyplatlnic acid. consisted, of "platinum atoms, each covered with six little stabilizing gents merging Into water; COMPOSmOJi EXPLAINED." motto of the like that of the house painter, Is Jave the surface and you save ally' Dr.
