THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1940 THB LONG ISLAND TRAVELER PAGE THRBB A$k The Scientist If you have a question to ask the Mlenttsts, mall it to the New York Press Association, The Castle, Syraouse, N. Y. The Science Board of the Ra dio Workshop at Syracuse University will answer each week in the oolumns of The Long Island TTaveto: those questions considered most interesting and timely. qu e s t i o n 1. How long does it take the heat that sunburns one’s hand to reach the hand from the time it left the sun? ANSWER. Eight minutes and 20 seconds. Most books will tell you that it is 500 seconds. — Dr. William R. Fredrickson, physicist. steeped longer than usual the infusion becomes somewhat more concentrated and the resulting tea is stronger and more astringent fr6m the greater amount of tanin extracted. If tea leaves are kept in water for many hours, say for 18 to 24 hours or more at room temperature, the liquid would be likely to undergo bacterial fermentation with the formation of some lactic acid. Souring would occur. Such soured tea would be unpalatable but not particularly more harmful than unsoured tea. — Prof. Henry N. Jones, bacteriologist. QUESTION 5. What Is a falling star? ANSWER. One generally calls a fall- reariUKsuii, pnysiui5i>. QUESTION 2. Is it true that a star that small speck of light about person’s ears grow or enlarge from as bright as an ordinary star which is • birth to death but that the eyes do not frequently observed to dart across the grow, that is, stay the same size? ANSWER. Prom the point of view of actual growth, this is not true. The eyes grow from time of birth until the ^ Individual has reached maturity. The * ears also grow. The idea suggested in this question probably arises from the fact that in old age the contour of the face changes and the ears become more prominent and appear larger. Dr. ^ Verlue Linderman, {riiysiologist ............ • QUESTION 3. Is there any chance to grow sugar beets in New York state? ANSWER. Ordinary commercial su gar beets will grow well around New York and they have been raised here in ^ large quantities. In order to make it \ possible for a sugar factory to operate, most of the farmers in several coun ties would have to agree to raise large quantities of sugar beets every year. The factory on the other hand would ^ have to get all of these beets into the factory before they froze. That is the determining factor, I think. In New York state the fall is too short and too cold. The difficulty is in what to do with the beets after they are grown, ^ and not so much in the growing of the iKets. — Dr. Ernest Reed, geneticist. QUESTION 4. Is it harmful to drink orange pekoe tea that has stood for some time on the leaves? ANSWER. No. If tea leaves are sky at night. The technical name for a falling star is a meteor. The average meteor is a small piece of matter about the size of a pin head which has been heated to incandes cence by the friction it has encounter ed in passing through the atmosphere. The things which we call falling stars are small but larger objects appear also and they usually are called fire balls or meteorites. Some meteorites are known to be up to a mass of 50 tons or more. The average falling star may be from about 60 to 80 miles high when it begins to glow and it is entirely con sumed when it has reached a height of 40 or 50 miles. If these falling stars are members of the solar system, they are travelling about 26 miles per second when they enter our atmos]^ere. Prom recent as tronomical studies of meteors we And that most of them travel faster than this. Some have been observed to trav el as fast as ISO miles per second. No record exists of anyone ever hav ing been hit by one of these falling stars or Are balls. One fell in Siberia in 1906 and destroyed everything with in a radius of 20 miles. In this part of Siberia there were no people, but it was found that a herd of reindeer had been wiped out completely. — Dr. Pred- rickson. A Dish for the Week ; Around Our House; Scalloped Spinach As a change from the usual buttered plnach, try scalloped spinach, sug gests the New York State College of Home Economics. Left-over spinach % may be used for this If desired. ScaUoped Spliiach a Qomnds of spinach, uncooked or.. about 2 cups of cooked spinach 1 teaspoon of grated onion ^ % cup of grated cheese * 1 teaspoon of salt Pepper to taste Few grains of paprika ^ cup of thick white sauce Bread crumbs ^ Bacon If uncooked spinach is used, cook un til it is tender, drain, and chop it. To the spinach add the onion, the cheese, and the seasonings, and then mix in the white sauce. # Pour this mixture Into a greased bak ing dish, cover it with bread crumbs and with strips of thinly sliced bacon, and bake it in a moderately hot oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until the bacon is curled and brown (about 20 ^minutes). . A supper menu might include scal loped spinach, sliced tomatoes and cu cumbers, hot whole wheat rolls or bran mufOns, fresh fruit and cookies, milk ^for the children and iced coffee, tea, milk for the adults. According to a recent study of the social Security Board, “children as a group, constitute the most needy seg- ^pient of the population.” Peaches for Canning Ripe, firm, fresh peaches canned the same day they are picked are a boon to the housewife when winter comes. Here are a few helpful suggestions for skinning peaches. After grading the peaches according to siae and then washing them thor- oui^y, skin them either plunging them into boiling water or, If bu$hd or more are to be canned, with lye. BolUng water pee^ng: Put 10 or 12 peaches at a time into a wire basket and idunge the basket into boiling water for from 30 to 60 seconds or un til the skins can be slipped off easily. Remove the basket and set, it In a pan of cold water. Skin the peaches quick ly. Lye peeling: If a bushel or more of peaches are to be canned at one time, lye peeling is frequently used. Use it only when there is iflenty of water, preferably running water. Bring one gallon of water to the boiling point in an agate, porcelain, or iron kettle (never in an aluminum kettle).) Add from two to four tablespoons of lye (caustic soda). Fill a wire basket with peaches and lower It into the boiling lye. The lye must cover all peaches. Allow the fruit to stay in the lye for from 15 to 60 seconds, depending upon the ripe ness of the fruit. Remove the basket quickly and wash the fruit immediate ly in running water, or in four or five changes, of water in a large utensil. Rub oft any bits of skin which adhere to the peaches and transfer them quickly as possible. Remember that lye Is caustic: it will Injure hands, clothing, and polished woodwork.

The Golden Text is: “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul” (Psalms 66: 16). Among the citations wh^ch com prise the Lesson-Sermpn is the follow ing from the Bible: “And one of the scribes, came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Wliich is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him. The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this Is the first com mandment” (Mark 12: 28-30). The Lesson-Sermon also Includes the following selections from the textbook of Christian Science, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Dost thou ‘love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind’? This command includes much, I even the surrender of all morely ma terial sensation, affection, and worship. This is the El Dorado of CSi^tlanity.
