Find* Bacteria "fKriVe
In Lower Depth* of Earth
Bacteria are found at greater
depths In toil or oceanic muds than
any other living animals, accord
ing to Dr. Claude E. ZoBell of (he
University of California. The occur
rence of active animals In toil lesa
than 30 to 40 feet is rare, he says,
but bacteria have been found in oil
at depths exceeding 100 feet. Living
bacteria were demonstrated in Lou
isiana sulphur wells at a depth of
1,500 feet. Bacteria have also been
found at depths of 8,000 feet in coal
mines and petroleum wells, but it
is not certain whether they were
introduced by water percolating
into those depths.
Millions of marine bacteria have
been found in marine sediments col
lected at depths of four miles, Dr.
ZoBell says. And whereas on the
sea floor most mud-dwelling ani
mals are largely confined to the top j
five or six feet, significant bacterial I
populations have been found even at
the bottom of the longest mud cores
probed from the bottom.
Dr. ZoBell says It seems doubtful
if any organism can function nor
mally at temperatures higher than
90 degrees centigrade ? 10 degrees
below the boiling point of water. ]
Taking into account the tempera
ture increase In the earth's crush
as 1 degree per 100 feet, this would
place the lower limit of existence
in the earth's crust at about 9,000;.
feet.
Skillful Cleaning
Restores Old Neckties |
Many a necktie hanging limp and '
forgotten in the closet or thrown
in the ragbag can be made as good
as new with skillful cleaning and 1
pressing.
Many of the old ties are fast color
and may be washed successfully.
But test a small portion of the un
deraide first and if the fabric shows
signs of fading, than dip in non
inflammable cleaning fluid. Press
ing is the real problem with ties,
for the lining is likely to slip out
of position unless it is held in place.
Before washing, run a basting
thread up and down the tie to hold
the lining securely; remove the
bastings when the tie is dried.
After the tie has been washed, be
careful in pressing to keep the outer
edges of the lining from marking
the fabric. To avoid these unsight
ly marks, cut a piece of cardboard
the shape of the tie, and run it up
into the tie over the lining. Press
over the cardboard, using a piece
of tissue paper or a pressing cloth
between the fabric and the iron.
Strang ? Fishes
The most abundant and highly
specialized forma of fishes are
found among primitive groupa
whoae greater age haa given them
more time to develop special
adaptations to insure a successful
tenancy of the depths. Most of these
are strange, unfamiliar, and entire
ly linking the popular names with
which their more available cousins
have been endowed. Whole families
and even orders of fishes are entire
ly confined to deep water, and some
of them are ao unique that relation
a hips to other fishes are obscure.
One of these nonconformists,
Stylophthalmus, was assigned a
family to itself until proved to be
the young of fishes belonging to en
tirely different families. The most
obvious character of stylophthal
mine fishes is that the eyes are car
ried at the ends of stalks, which are
gradually absorbed as the infant
matures and acquires its other
adult characters. Differences in
shape and proportions render these
baby flshaa so alien in appearance
to their parents that it is impossi
ble to determine their true rela
tionships until a complete series of
growth stages has been secured.
Preserve Basilars
Scientists of the department el
agriculture have developed a jneth
od by which farmers and other
users of wood-lot trees can Intro
duce chemicals into the sap stream
of the wood to increase the length
of service of fence poets, bean
poles, garden stakes and other util
ity poles. The method is neither dif
ficult nor espeuslve to two. The
fresh-cut saplings are simply al
lowed to stand ta a wooden tub or
trough containing the right amount
of chemical in solution for a period
of about six hours or until they
have taken up the required amount
of chemical. Tope of the saplings
are supported by leaning them
against a tree, building, or other
support Chemicals recommended
include chroma ted zinc chloride,
sine chloride, and copper sulfate
(btuestone), of which the chrome ted

Moth Prevention
Clothe* moths are found in near
ly all homes regardless of thslr loca
tion. Articles in reasonably tight
trunks, chests or wooden boxes can
be protected during the summer by
scattering between the folds of the
clothing either flak* napthalene or
paradichlorobenzine. Under ideal
conditions one-quarter pound will
give enough protection. These
chemicals are cheap. An overdose of
flakes is safer than too little. Clothes
that are folded between sheets of
thin clean paper are better pro
tected. Keep all covers tightly
closed. Paper garment bags are ot
UtUe value fnr niHny tQotbSr
the clothing is free from moths
and put Into a garment bag and
sealed, the paper will keep the
moths out indefinitely. When storing
clothes in a closet, clean the closet
thoroughly. Seal up all cracks and
equip the door frames with rubber
or felt gaskets so the door will shut
tight. Hang from the shelf or ceil
ing muslin bags filled with one
pound of the chemicals mentioned.
The fungus will stop the moths
from feeding and will gradually kill
them.
Cured Hickory
A cord of well-cured hickory or
other hardwood is almost equal in
heating value to a ton of coal.
