pipe band and has rxpmdablo side., that grab and hold the interior wall when inflated foi testing pipe strength, says Tube Turns of Louisville, the manufacturer. It is easily removed and faster than other methods that involve welding on a metal cap that must then be cut off. POTENTIALLY useful agents for controlling excessive bone desti notion leading to one of the nation's most prevalent dental diseases in adults peridontal dis< ise has been found at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The agents are five-mem-bered ring structures that act to slow the transfer of calcium out of bone. The chemic.nl structures of the derivations arc simple and therefore they offer promise as prototype compounds for the development of therapeutically useful agents. chlorinated hydrocarbons similai to those found in DDT and other insecticides have been found by a University of WiS' msirf scientist to alter the drug-metabolizing enzymes in th" liver. The findings result from studies on rats, but similar ch inges are likely to occur in the tissues of other animals — ini hiding man - when exposed to high levels of these chlorinated hydrocarbons. ( ANAL WOULD PERMIT C ARIBBE AN MIG R ATION OF DEADLY SEA SNAKES THE PROPOSED SEA-LEVEL canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic could be "an economic and ecological disaster." says a Penn State zoologist, because of sea snakes. They’re close relatives of the cobra, and just as deadly. The sea snake is found

only in salt water. The sealevel canal would provide a saltwater highway over which the animals could, and probably would, migrate into the warm waters of the Caribbean. "They aie apparently a very fecund species." he says, "p rpulating the warm zones of the Pacific by the millions. The psychological effect of this sort of populatin explosion on the Caribbean tourist playgrounds is not pleasant to contemplate." A UNIVERSITY OF OREGON geologist who wanted to study the behavior of lunar lavas but couldn't get access to a largeenough sample of the precious Apollo rocks has made his own! "We tooke the reported chem’ical composition of the analyzed samples, mixed the various components according to those specifications, then melted them. For all practical purposes, it's the same rock. We can even crystallibe the same minerals from it," he said. USE OF CARBON DIOXIDE in fire extinguishing is broadening. reports Cardox. Chicago. Ihe company cites the growing use of electronic computers and new fuels, sophisticated machinery and increased number of nifcleqr power stations as reasons for the increasing pop darity o, the fire fighter. COM PUT:! RS may be used to predict scietifically the size of Louisiana’s shrimp crop and the proper day to open the comme'cial inland shrimping season each year. A team of Louisiana State University researchers is collecting information to formulate a mathematical model that enable computers to predict accurately the numbed, distribution and growth rate of shrimp in the state's coastal marshes and estuaries. LSD will not cure the alcoholic, contrary to several reports' that the drug improves the alcoholic's outlook and therefore his ability to stop drinking, says a psychiatrist. He found no significant differences in the drinking habits among those alcoholics who received LSD as part of a therapy program and those who did not.

SLEEP "THE rest of your days depends upon tne rest of your nights." Whoever said that knew the value of sleep. The average adult must spend about one-third of the 24 hours in sleep to be in condition to live to the full of the other twothirds of the time. Many persons can get along with considerably less sleep than the average, but extremes should probably be discounted. For instance, Thomas Edison was reputed to require not more than four hours a night in bed. But he made up for it with naps on conveniently arranged sofas. Napoloan boasted that he needed very little sleep, but he was known to doze in the paddle after virtually sleepless nights. Persons who try to get along on less than the customary seven to eight hours sleep are likely to be nervous and irritable, to lack the feeling of fitness and often they become victims of functional disrders. It has been demonstrated often that the lack of sleep impairs the ability to do concentrated mental work. It is not knwn just why man and animals fall asleep and waken. Apparently a condition of the entire body requires and brings about this periodic change from one state to another. During sleep a number of bodily functions are slowed down The rate of metabolism is reduced, the pulse is slower, the temperature lower, blood pressure is reduced and breathing is slower. The body’s energy during sleep is being used for the repair of tissues that have suffered wear and tear.
