Finsler's Comet Is
Moving Into Space
Cambridge, Mass. Finsler's
comet has swerved out toward
the stellar spaces from which it
may never turn within the life
time of those who viewed it.
Harvard astronomers said it
was flying southward at a rat- 1 '
of about five degrees a day, and
probably would pass from sight
as it crossed the equator at the
eastern edge of the constellation
Virgo early in September.
The Finsler object, for weeks
rushing visible earthward, came
its nearest to this sphere Tues
day night. It was 50,000,000
miles away—nearly twice as close
aa the sun—when it slipped past
the second star in the handle of
th|b Big Dipper under the north
ern, midnight sky.
Thousands the world over have
watched the northern sky these
past several nights for a glimse
of the diffuse object, which has
• head eight times larger than
the 'earth, a tail two million miles
longe and a stubby second lull
some 200,000 mile* in length. I
In the larger observatories, HH
tronomers have observed the ob
ject almost from the day it was
discovered, July 4, by Dr. P. Fin-,
sler, Swiss mathematician.
For a "long time" —and scien
tists didn't say just how long—it
will be visible through powerful
telescopes.
No living man will see tt again,
observers at Harvard said, and
it may not again come close to
earth for thousands of yeiars.
Calculations have not been
completed to determine whence
the comet camie or how long si ice
it was previously in the sight of
earthly eyes.

False Impression
Sandy Ridge, N. C.,
Aug. 16, 1937.
'o The Danbury Reporter.
Dear Sir:
It has just been called to my
attention that tthene is a t'aport
being circulated that I hav e left
the impression in he minds of
the people that I was not at Dan
bury on the day that the tax rate'
was made up for the year, 1937,,
I and that I am blaming Mr. Gibson
jand Mr. Johnson for the high
rate. This impression in the minds'
[of the people is false. I have at no
insinuated such a thing.
Mr. Gibson and Mr. Johnson ar
high tone christian gentlemen
No better men could Stokea coun
ty have chosen to serve on the
board of commissioners,

Petroleum Technician*
Enlist Bacteria
By John C. Fo«ter
LABORATORY BRED T*CTMTM
have now been enlisted bj tk»
petroleum scientists in their ss»
stant March for new means to tm
crease the yield of oil from Ik*
nation'a oil Holds.
As long ago as the 1880's J. W.
Van Dyke, now Chairman of (ko
Board of The Atlantic Reflnts«
Company. Introduced a system of
increasing the yield and prolonglan
the life of an oil reservoir by in
jecting acid Into the wells and—
pressure. The acid dissolved tk»
limestone oil-bearing formatted
permitting the free Row of oil Is
the wells. The reservoir sncesa*
fully acidized by Mr. Van Dyke mm.
near Lima, Ohio, where he was UM
stationed in charge of operation* of
the Solar Refining Company's rs»
finery.
The original acid treatment baa
been further developed and pw>
fected. according to the writings at
petroleum engineers, but until very
recently a problem that remains*
unsolved was bow to prevent ito
acid from escaping from the lew*
to be treated. An obvious first stop
was to insert in the well a plug that
would block off the lower forra
tlons, but the plug must be one that
could be removed after the ■•**
treatment. The requirement was
met by using an organic jellifying
materia: Inoculated with I i vine
bacteria.
The material Is poured Into tbo
well as a liquid, but when it reacbea
the bottom of the hole and is mixed
with water It becomes a solid or
semi-solid Jelly. Tlis function oC
the bacteria is to make it certain
that the lower formations will not
be permanently plugged off. This
function they perform by consum
ing the Jelly In from 24 to 36 hoars,
permitting the digested matter to
come out with the oil when the ping
Is no longer needed.
