occurring on a. charged tv.re, seemed to
explode, creating heat eo intense that it
could not lie measured, although esti
mates put it at 30,000 to 80.00U degrees.
Pictures taken as the explosions occur are

Grafting Cotton to Tree

Grafting a single cotton plant to tire
root- of a mulberry tree has produced 900
bolls, or pods, where formerly 40 was a
good evop. The process, an invention of a
op!hern plant breeder, is being widely
tfeUb'.l because of the possibilities it
offer-tin riihu*tiit:'lhe co.it of cotton. Home
of the.ii• grafted plants arc marly 8 feet

staples. The production rate is greatly

Auto Emergency Headlights
When the headlights of an automobile

placing the usual wires. The cord is then
run from the dash-lamp Wicket to one oi

by means of an extra length of cord, it
can be connected to both headlamp?, in
