They were fed to the cat, but now he has a big mouse which he found outside in the haystack. It was already dead and he felt sorry for it so he insisted upon keeping it So, now, it is preserved in a jar cov- of ered with alcohol and kept for him to see and to show his friends. CALIBRATE PROBE Clayton S. Miller, left, and William Harris, graduate students at Utah State University, calibrate a Rossow probe, being developed at USU to study hot gases such as those surrounding re- - - " A NASA SSrSEsn Engineers at Utah State University are developing and testing an instrument to measure the electrical properties of hot ionized gases similar to those which envelop space capsules upon reentry into the earths atmosphere. The study is aided by a research grant for $14,800 USUs Mechanical Engineering Department by the National Aeronautims and Space Administration Ames Research Moffett Center, Field, Calif. The principal investigators are Dr. Edward W. Vendell, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and William L. Fletcher, instructor in electrical engineering. Graduate students Clayton S. Miller, Smithfield, and William Harris, Frontier, Wyo., are working on the project. The instrument, called a Rossow probe, was invented by Dr. Vernon J. Rossow, a NASA scientist. It consists of a hollow quartz tube about the shape and size of a pencil. Inside the tube are three small coils of high temperature wire. The center coil sends out an electrical signal that Interacts with the ho conducting gases surrounding the probe and the other two coils receive signals which are a measure of this interaction and are related to the electrical conductivity and velocity of the gas. This type of instrument is important because it is one of the few available devices that can measure the electrical conductivity and velocity of extremely high temperature Ionized gases without being destroyed by such a hostile environment, Dr. Vendell said. An earlier version of the probe has proved the feasibility and accuracy of the concept by measuring electrical conductivity and velocity in a NASA where the gas 0 temperature was about ing field of magnetohydrody-nami- c (MHD) power generat- ion. This complicated-soundin- g process for generating electricity is actually quite simple in practice. MHD power generation is accomplished by directing an electrically-conductingas stream through the poles of an electromagnet where the gas interacts with the magnetic field to create a useful electric field. Thus, except for the gas, an MHD generator has no moving parts. The MHD power plant may be operated at high temperatures so that it is more efficient in extracting energy than present fossil or nuclear power plants. The high thermal efficiency of the MHD power plant system is also a major advantage in reducing pollution. By operating at higher efficiency, the MHD plant releases less waste heat into the surroundings per unit of electrical power produced and, thus, thermal pollution is reduced. also Higher efficiency means that less fuel is consumed so that the lifetime of our fossil fuel reserves is increased, Dr. Vendell noted. However, the MHD system offers no particular advantage or disadvantage as far as air pollution is concerned, he added. One of the major technical problems facing MHD power generation is the determination of the velocity and conductivity properties of the plasma. The work on this research grant at Utah State University will be an important Btep toward the solution of this problem, the engineer said. g, high-velocit- y, LEWISTON BRIEFS Mr. and Mrs. Tad Hendricks and family of Ogden visited Fahrenheit. in Lewiston over the weekend The Rossow probe can also with relatives. be used to determine the proMiss Jana Herbert and Miss perties of the conducting gas Judy Bently of Lewiston left es used in the new engineer on Saturday for Phoenix, Ariz., to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bently. 18,-00- pure-as-su- n- shine electric heat.

He had to have someone open the door for him because he could not let go long enough to let himself in. The caterpillar turned out to be a tiny fat white worm about an inch long. He took the worm into the house and played with it and laughed as it crawled up his hands and arms. Eventually the worm was forgotten and lost. This happens many times or his collection would be even greater than it is.
