DDT ROTENONE SPRAYSPRAYING with DDT and rotenone mixture provides a
practical and economical solution of one of the major
problems of cattle raisers in tropical and sub-tropical
regions, control of cattle ticks, it was announced at the
Third Interamerican Agricultural Conference by Dr. Earl
N. Bressman, Director of the Interamerican Institute of
Agricultural Sciences. It is expected that the new
method will be applicable from the northern provinces
of Argentina to the southern United States.Cattle-dipping vats, which have been widely successful
in tick control in temperate regions, have had consider-
ably less success in the tropics, for a variety of reasons.
Over large areas the necessity of depending on relatively
untrained personnel resulted in high mortalities because
of poorly designed dipping vats, arsenic poisoning of
cattle, mechanical abortion and other injuries. Further-
more, the intense tropical heat often caused deaths from
overheating, especially in the case of animals that had to
be driven long distances to the vats-which often cost in
the neighborhood of $4000 each-and the cattle sufferedfrom decreased milk production and, in the case of the
ubiquitous oxen, from lack of rest following dipping.After 110 experiments over a period of three years, Dr.
Robert L. Squibb, of the Division of Animal Industry ofthe institute, developed a new spray solution, specific foruse against the cattle tick, a mixture of DDT and rote-none. One hundred cubic centimeters of the solutionis sufficient, used as a fine spray, to cover an animal, at
a cost of as little as one half cent, depending on localconditions. A wide variety of spraying equipment, rang-
ing from a hand-operated flit gun to power equipment,secures equally effective results. A tick mortality of95 per cent. has been recorded from animals with an
infestation of as high as 40 ticks per square inch.Length of effectiveness of the treatment varies with
climatic conditions, as does cattle dipping, and the solu-tion has continued to give protection against the ticks
up to 80 days. Spraying between the animals' legs and
in body crevices is not necessary since once engorged tickshave dropped off, the animal is not reinfested during the
period of spray effectiveness. More than 7,000 applica-tions have been given over a period of nine months, with
no indication of a poisonous tendency.
ITEMS
A NEW platinum material, for laboratory ware such as
crucibles and other articles now made of platinum alone,has been developed and is a combination of all platinum-family alloys. The new product, developed because of
war necessity and now thoroughly tested in actual use, is
claimed to be superior to the platinum ware it may re-
place. The new material is a product of the Oscap Manu-
facturing Company, and it has been tested over months
in Army, industrial and university chemical laboratories,and found satisfactory in all, it is said. The color of
the new material is the silver gray of regular platinum,
but slightly darker. It is non-oxidizable, has high tensilestrength and flexibility, and is resistant to all acids exceptboiling aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated hydrochloricand nitric acids.
A NEW non-petroleum lubricant for automobiles, air-craft and other internal combustion engines has been de-veloped and tested that is claimed to have unusual advan-tages over mineral oil, particularly in cold weather. Itsproperties are quite different in many respects from oilsderived from petroleum. It is wax-free and can be madeto any desired viscosity. The lubricant is a product ofCarbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation and is now
being produced in commercial quantities. Its use in
engines has been studied for several years in a largenumber of vehicles. Large quantities are in use in mili-tary equipment, and, at the present time, sale of thematerial is limited to war uses. No petroleum oils are
contained in the new lubricant. It has a density approxi-mating that of water. It is characterized by low changein viscosity with change of temperature. Carbon resi-due values are very low. Sludge and varnish formationin the engine is practically eliminated when the new
lubricant is used, and wear of moving parts is in line
with wear experience with ordinary mineral oils.
A COAL tar fuel widely used in the United Kingdomduring the war years, and still in use, has been described
by the Ministry of Fuel and Power. It is a creosote-
pitch mixture, with about equal parts of the two sub-stances, and is made entirely from English-producedmaterials. The 50-50 creosote-pitch fuel mixture is
homogenous, and the so-called free carbon consists of
microscopic particles of resinous material, which, when
the fuel is held in storage at from 80 to 90 degreesFahrenheit, remain permanently dispersed. Heatingequipment formerly used with other liquid fuels can be
used with this coal tar product, provided certain minor
adjustments are made. If used with petroleum fuels, the
equipment must be thoroughly drained and flushed with
hot creosote oil, because if petroleum fuels are allowed
to mix with tar fuels, the resinous matter in the latter
is immediately precipitated.
AN electrical instrument, so sensitive that it can mea-
sure movements, or changes in position, as small as one-
tenth of a millionth of an inch, has been developed at the
Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus. It is a tool to
measure the position of either slowly or rapidly movingobjects withoutftouching the object itself. Its first prac-tical application was in measuring the errors in high-precision lathe spindles used in machining aircraft motor
parts. The instrument is also the heart of an apparatusfor measuring and recording the changes in crystal struc-
ture when steel is heated rapidly, as in electric welding.Other possible, but as yet undeveloped, uses of this elec-
trical micrometer are as a meter to indicate the poweroutput of airplane engines in flight, and as a means of
measuring roughness and hardness of metallic surfaces.

ELECTRON OPTICS AND THE-ELECTRON MICROSCOPEBy V. K. ZWORYKIN, G. A. MORTON, E. G. RAMBERG, J. HILLIER, A. W. VANCE; All at RCALaboratories, Princeton, N. J.
This comprehensive book covers the electron microscope in all its phases. The material waschosen to fulfill a two-fold purpose. The first is to aid the present or prospective electron micros-copist in understanding his instrument and using it to greatest advantage; the second, to pre-sent systematically the practical and theoretical knowledge which must form the basis for furtherprogress in electron microscope design.

Precision Brings Pacific VictoriesAimed with deadly precision, aerial
torpedoes have been a decisive factor inPacific victories.
Early in the war, U. S. Navy TorpedoSquadrons launched their "tin fish" bydiving in dangerously close to theirtarget. The risks were great-but theysank plenty of Jap ships.The problem in this type of attack
is to estimate the distance to the targetand the speed of the target. He must aim-not where the ship is, but where itwill be when the torpedo strikes.To solve this problem, he uses a Tor-
pedo Director in which an enemy ship
can be centered easily and quickly.The Torpedo Director is one of many
Spencer scientific optical instrumentsthat speed Allied victory.
