Show THE Thursday, June 23, 1938 -- Wide Uses Predicted for 'Windmill' Plane That Has No Winjrs ping Up WififtScienk WNU Service. Cosmic Rays Created by Annihilation of Elements in Space i New evi-- " Washington. dence for the creation of powerful cosmic rays through the annihilation of the universe's commonest chemical elements, sparsely scattered in the far reaches of space, was presented here before Academy of Science by Dr. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel prize man, of the California Institute of Technology. The first evidence obtained by science that the sun's magnetic field extends out into space, enveloping the earth and the whole solar system, has also resulted from Dr. Millikan's latest cosmic ray researches. Millikan, with his colleagues, Drs. I. S. Bowen and H. Victor Neher, probed the earth's atmosphere with balloons practically to its top. They found that the way in which the energy in Incoming, highly penetrating cosmic rays is distributed gives evidence for the annihilation theory of cosmic ray production. Elements That Are Destroyed. The most abundant elements that are destroyed in creating cosmic rays are carbon, nitrogen, and ojqt-getogether with relatively high percentages of sodium, silicon, and aluminum. These are among the commonest elements in the universe. The elements that give rise to cosmic rays range in atomic weight between 6 and 28. Hydrogen, and perhaps helium, are also known to be extremely flT.plentiful throughout the universe, and the fact that no cosmic rays corresponding to their energy of annihilation have been found gave Dr. Millikan his lead to the newly recognized extent of the sun's magnetic field. The earth's magnetic field has been known to change the direction of cosmic rays. Similarly, the sun keeps the less powerful rays of hydrogen and helium origin from getting to earth. n, Seedless Tomatoes Grown by the Use of Chemicals Tomatoes without seeds are being grown in the department of horticulture at the University of Missouri here by use of chemicals. Normally tomatoes require and fertilization to set fruit, but that also means that seeds will be formed. So the Missouri workers pinch out the parts of the flower that produce the pollen, thus stopping fertilization, and then seek another stimulus in the form of a substance, or hormone, to cause the fruit to set The result is that tomatoes develop normally, but instead of containing seeds and pulp, the tomatoes are solid meat. The fruit Is of normal size, but weighs more because it is solid. The hormone used is indoleacetic acid dissolved in lanum paste at the rate of one part acid to 500 parts paste. About three applications, put on a week or ten days apart, are required.

A rapidly-growin- g list of uses is being compiled for new varieties of the "windmill" plane that can do things no ordinary air plane can duplicate. I went up in one of the new auto- giros demonstrated here by W. Wallace Kellett of Philadelphia. We took off in 25 feet. We landed almost literally on a dime the wheels struck the earth and stopped, hardly moving a millimeter. Up in the air we stood stock still. we moved sideways, we turned as though an axle pierced the fuselage. And the pilot did all that simply by maneuvering the three whirling blades above the fuselage of the newest typo of rotatable wing air craft. Abilities such as these have the army interested. Navy men are curious, too, and so are foresters, coast guardsmen, persons concerned with air mail, and others. Autogiro Has No Wings. The autogiro has come a long way during the decade since the late Senor Juan de la Cierva, its inventor who was killed In the crash of a transport plane in 1936 in Just the kind of accident he sought to prevent with his craft, brought it to the United States. Today, the trim machine demon strated by Kellett has no wings, depending for its lift entirely on the whirling blades. With a 225 horsepower motor powering a propeller to give it forward speed and turning the overhead blades for the take off, the autogiro can make 125 miles an hour; it can lift more. rise more sharply and quickly than the predecessors which attracted so much attention hardly more than half a dozen years ago. And technical men in various fields and government services are seeing quickly that its uncanny maneuverability will find ready application. The army wants it for "spotting" artillery fire and for observation and reconnoitering. You could have drawn a detailed picture of Wash ington while we were above it, so nearly motionless did we hover. The autogiro would also be useful for liaison operations. The navy may find it useful for "spotting" naval gunfire for it has the advantage of being able to hover, yet being so maneuverable that it can follow the course of an enemy fleet. Airplanes are already in wide use for dusting fields with insect poisons, but it is a risky business, moving along at nearly 100 miles an hour only a few feet above the ground. Hence, another use is seen for the autogiro: hovering a few feet above the ground spreading a chemical cloud is not a risky business for the rotatable wing aircraft.
