CAMBRIDGE, MASS. The universe is not so old after all. Flatly contradicting Sir James Jeans figure of ten million times a million years for the age of the universe, Dr. Bart J. Bok of the Harvard college observa- tory has found that number approximately five hundred times too high. Twenty billion years is the upper limit of the age of the universe, as viewed by Doctor Bok. Jeans long time scale does not fit with the evidence of star clusters, with the known facts of the rotation of the Milky Way system or with the existing theories of the creation of the spiral nebulae. Nor does it explain the existence In the same star cluster of young red giant stars and of old dwarf stars. The giants with their tremendous energy output can hardly have existed for much longer than years, unless we wish to make the as yet unfounded hypothesis that the energy radiated away is being replenished in some unknown fashion from surrounding space," Doctor Bok said. The Hebrew herdsmen evidently found It necessary at times to wander far from the tribal encampment at Hebron In order to find fresh In this particular Inpasturage. stance they were reported to have gone to Shechem, which must have been at least a two or three-day- s journey away.

The disease fighters of confronted with other disease enemies of an entirely different sort cancer, heart and kidney disease. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels which today take first place as cause of death are due not so much to germs and poisons as to the process of growing old. At Columbia university the problem Is being attacked by a study of An imthe aging process Itself. portant first step was taken when one of the Columbia investigators, Dr. Henry S. Simms, found that the body cells of aging animals will grow outside the body In what are called tissue cultures just as readily as cells from the bodies of very young animals. Study Aging Process. While the cells of aged animals will grow as readily, however, an other Columbia scientist found that some of these aged cells do not function as well. It seems to depend on which organs of the body the cells came from. This seems to parallel the fact that some organs of the body, the heart, for Instance, wear out and are unable to keep going or functioning normally earlier than other organs. The cells from the lymph glands and the liver showed the greatest decrease In functional activity. Long Time Required. Just how much significance Is to be attached to these observations Is not known at present, Dr. James W. Jobling, professor of pathology at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, said in describing the studies of aged tissues. "But we hope to expand and con tinue this phase of the work, for It Is possible that here we may find some clew to the answers we are seeking. Studies are also being con ducted on cancer and Billion Dollar Loss From Rust Faces U. S. Every Year NEW YORK. There is much alarming comment these days on the size of the public debt. It costs about a billion dollars a year merely to pay the In terest on this loan. Few people, however, feel vitally concerned about the money lost due to the rusting of their property. Dr. R. M. Burns of the Bell Telephone laboratories here points out, however, that this loss due to rust is approximately as large as the interest on the public debt. One of the most widely used rust preventives is paint, and 120,000,000 gallons are used annually ; one gallon for every person In the country. How Metals Corrode. In 'an article ln the Bell System Technical Journal, Doctor Burns describes the various processes which occur when metals corrode. What finally happens Is, of course, that the metal goes Into chemical combination with something else and is rendered useless. It may seem a far cry from a nm ty nail to the battery In a flashlight. But actually the formation of rust on the nail Is, to a large extent, a result of the action of thousands of tiny electric batteries on the surface of the Iron. Most school boys know that a bat tery can be made of an Iron rod and a copper rod dipped into a solution of some salt or acid. If he has tried It he knows also that, as the battery Is used, the iron Is gradually de- stroyed. The same process occurs on the surface of the metal The metal itself and some speck of Impurity on so to its surface are immersed speak, ln a film of moisture taken from the air. The metal and the pieces of Impurity are, of course, ln electrical contact so that the microscopic batteries run continually and the Iron is slowly but surely eaten up.

In their place modern taxicabs will convey the citizens of Jerusalem and visitors up and down the precipitous slopes of the Holy City. Practically every visitor to Jerusalem used to take at least one drive ln one of these horse cabs, or gharries." They seemed as typically a part of the Jerusalem scene as gondolas ln Venice or rickshas in Shanghai. Unfortunately for the cab drivers, however, the steep city streets recently were asphalted for the benefit of automobile traffic. As a result the cab horses continually slipped and fell Th Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Intervened and made representations to the government resulting in the withdrawal of horse drawn cabs from the streets. eteer can get the government to put him in prison?
