The substance is one of the world s most poisonous materials, especially in gas or vapor form The LSU professor said selenium is a known cancerprodueing substance and for this nason he is urging immediate medical research to determine its relationship to lung cancer. He said that statistics indicating that pipe and cigar smoking Wen less likely to induce lung cancer than cigarettes made him curious about cigarette papers. < ARRON DIOXIDE — the gas We exhale -- js an efficient fire fighter that does its job and then disappears.

*- . . or leaving a residue. This, says Cardox, Chicago, makes CO2 fire systems especially valuable for protecting of missile sites, aircraft hangars, files and record storage, electronic instruments and mechanical installations. RAINWATER will eventually be used to ease waler shortages in many parts of the world, says a U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist. During the past five years Lloyd E. Myers has spread rubber, plastic, metal foil, asphalt and other materials on sloping desert land to catch rain and channel it into tanks where it is used by livestock. Some of the materials, notably liquid asphalt, have survived several years of weathering with little or no maintenance while trapping nearly all of the rain that has fallen on them. A NEW COMET has been discovered by a research assistant in the University of Minnesota department of astronomy. The rare astronomical discovery Was made by Mrs. Jean Anderson. It has been named Comet Andersn. in accordance with the astronomical custom of naming comets after their discoverers. Mrs. Anderson found the comet on a photographic plater from

the Mount Palomar Observatory while studying the motions of stars. ABOUT ONE of every eight Americans snore, so there’s a good chance that there’s a snorer in your family, reports the American Medical Association. For the most part, snoring is generated during sleep by the action of air passage past sveral structures in the nose and throat. The sounds are due to vibrations in the soft palate and other soft structures in the throat in response to inflowing and outflowing air. The frequency of the vibrations depends on the size, density and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force of the air flow. BUTTERFLIES are particularly attracted to the colors red and orange. WHEN CLEAN WINDOW PANES become opaque with grime, and clean sheets hanging on a line become soiled, people can ’’see' the extent of air pollution. What cannot be seen, says the U.S. Department of Commerce. is the formation by airborne pollutants of still other pollutants. The latter wreak further havoc, such as corrosive penetration of meals and other materials and gaseous or chemical penetration of the human bloodstream, lungs and other organs. DON'T BE a pea pod muncher. Eating them can cause a disabling and sometime fatal condition known as Lathyrism, reports the American Medical Association. A chemical substance in the pods, beta-amino-propionitrile, is one of a group of compounds that tend to prevent collagen fibers from linking together to form connective tissue In the body. Weakening of the connective tissue leads to hernias, collapsed discs in the spine and general loss of strength in skin, muscles and tendons. SNOW - CAPPED MT. RAINIER. which dominates western Washington with its 14.410-foot summit, may be only dormant

and not a dead volcano, reports the U. S. Geological Survey Geologists say that theologists say that heoretically the mountain could again become active

— perhaps just heating up within the cone or producing, an actual eruption. The last such activity created a debris flow about 500 years ago.
