Kitchen Scientist Spots Danger—Late

By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW ORLEANS, Dec. = With a little simple kitchen phys- | ics, anybody can put together al cloud chamber, a device which! played a vital part in making this the atomic age. The only essential ingredients are dry ice and black velvet. You! don’t have to know an atom from | an electron to produce mysterious’ streaks of white-vapor which are visible proof of atomic nuclear | reaction in the air all around us. | Dr. Robert T. Nieset, the direc-| tor of biophysics research at Tu-| lane University, showed how to do it with a homespun cloud chamber that could be duplicated, in the kitchen. “This idea of a simplified cloud | chamber is not original with me, | It came first from the Brook-| haven National Laboratories,” Dr. | Nieset said. “I merely have exper: imented with various common) household dishes in making! mine.”

Experiment Simple The simplest possible version |

involves a cake of dry ice, an ~~ aluminum pie pan, a glass fish The Market Basket—

Unscientific as it may sound, works. First borrow a little model air-

chest and cement a piece of black] velvet to the inside of the pie] pan, Dr. Nieset said. Then put the pan on the cake of dry ice.| Line the bottom of the fishbowl with velvet, cemented down; sat-

The cake pan, filled with water at room temperature, goes on| top of the fish bowl, and the cloud chamber is complete.
