The two French scientists returned from an explora- tion of the Tassili Des Ajer region 320 miles souta of Port Polignae to say they had dug, from the barren sands, rich art treasures. These, they said, included rock paintings and carvings with stone age axes and tools. The London area alone contains over 200,000 registered private auto- mobiles.

Guest, M.A.) © ordinary kindling wood. This feat was accomplished by a famous Ger- man chemist, Professor Friedrich Bergius, after ten years of experi- mentation in his laboratory. This chemist has perfected a process for making sugdr from ordinary lumber and he claims that this wood sugar is sweeter and healthier than ordin- ary cane sugar. He also maintains that in countries where wood can be obtained in large quantities, such as the Baltic States, Roumania, North- west United States and Canada, wood sugar can be produced more cheaply than cane sugar is produced in the countries located in the torrid zone. A small factory has been con- structed in Germany, waich com- menced operations last May and can produce from 6,000 to 8,000 tons of pure sugar per year from . wood. Finely ground and dried wood is treated with muriatic acid until a syrup is obtained. This syrup of | molasses is them boiled to drive off the acid and a further step in the process changes it into wood sugar. The sugar obtained at this stage can be used, as can also the molasses, as a fodder for animals, for making yeast, for the production of alcohol and for other purpdses. Another step converts the wood sugar into chemic- ally pure grape sugar, which can be used in the candy industry, replacing cane or beet sugar. » This sugar derived from wood is healthier than cane sugar because it consists only of glucose, which is’ commonly called grape sugar. Glu- cose is absorbed by the human hody at once, whereas cane sugar must be first changed into grape sugar, Thus, there is less strain on the body in using glucose rather than can sugar. Glycerine, acetic acid and pure medicinal alcohol are also being pro- duced from wood. In addition a new kind of saw dust has been intro- making of wood sugar. Science has recently amazed the world by making caocolates from NAVY BLUE AND GEORGIA ‘| secrete | The excess sugar can temporarily re- duced in Germany for use in barns.

Latest Means Of Transport Aero-Sleigh Is To Undergo A Thorough Test ¥ A thorouga test of the aero-sleigh, one of the latest forms of transport, is to be made on a journey of about 1,500 miles througa some of the bleakest country in all the world. The form of the aero-sleigh is the body of an aeroplane mounted on skis, with an engine driving a pro- peller at the rear. It has no wings, and so does not rise from the ground. Twenty-five of these machines are about to leave Leningrad on an ex- pedition that will penetrate the cold and desolate heart of Northern Rus- sia, under the auspices of the Soviet Society for the Promotion of Motor- ing and the Improvement of Roads.
