It snid in a Survey of the billion Dollar fur Trade that Mink production in 1957 was estimated it nearly 4.5 million pelts. Imports brought More than 3 million More into the country. In comparison the department reported that 72 million rabbits were imported by the fur and hat Industry last year. Many were touched up to simulate almost every known fur the Survey said and Rabbit pelts found their a into hats gloves and novel jewelry. Demand for Rabbit is declining however it said mainly because 01 in inexplicable consumer readier against the connotation of for Many years rabbits Mas quota did under some 100 real am fanciful Trade names but.

Up new experiments show Speed of Light constant new York a american scientists have concluded tests which again confirm Einstein s theory of relativity by suggesting the Speed of Light is constant no mutter what the motion of persons who observe the Light. The experiments performed by International business machines and Columbia University scientists made measurements accurate to one part in a million millions. Key to the new tests was an extraordinarily precise atomic clock called a Maser for Micro wave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Into a cavity of the Maser was directed a beam of ammonia particles accelerated to High speeds. The molecules vibrated in the cavity and gave off radio Waves. Hitting the Canvas again 629 refugees now Back in Hungary new York a six Hundred Twenty nine hungarians who came to the states after fleeing from their country in the 195g surprising have returned Home. American officials who inter viewed some of them said they found evidence of disillusionment largely because work was hard to find. But they said the hungarians they talked to still were opposed to communism. Some fear was expressed that the returning refugees would be used for anti Western propaganda purposes by the hungarian communists. Language difficulties loneliness personal adjustment problems and other factors were said to have prompted uie Ducci signs to return. Measurements of the frequency of these radio Waves gave an in credibly exact measurement of time. Two masers were mounted on an instrument panel that could be turned in a full Circle. Their ammonia beams pointed in opposite directions East and West. The radio frequencies were determined. The machine was turned 180 degrees and they were measured again. Compare Speed the idea was to compare the Speed of the radio Waves believed to be the same As that of Light while they were aimed with the Earth s motion around the Sun and then while they were aimed Back Ward against that motion. The scientists figured that if the Earth s rotation around the Sun at a Speed of 18.5 Miles per second had an effect on the Speed of Light there would be a difference in the frequency of the radio Waves of about 20 cycles per second. One Cycle different instead there was a difference of Only one Cycle per second and most of this was caused by the Earth s magnetic Field and other magnetic factors. The result was said to confirm special part of Einstein s theory that the Speed of remain constant Guylord Gough called the strongest Ninn in the world in 1929, shows he s a Tell in trim of lifting $1,500 Worth of his own Art.

Operated a Iowa scientists keep Wadi Over satellites by North american newspaper Alliance Ames Iowa while most of the interest in Man made satellites and the Conquest of space centers on new launching attempts a team of scientists at Iowa state College Here is patiently keeping track of the earlier satellites which Are still patrolling their lonely beats in space. From the roof of the electrical engineering building on the Cam pus of this College town the scientists have been keeping track for More than a year of the satellites any time they Are visible in the hours from dusk to Dawn. Although the electronic devices which first sent information Back to Earth have Long since died out the satellites still in space Are pro Viding valuable data. Sputnik Iii the team is now regularly re porting on the Rockot Case and the instrumented part of sputnik Iii. They have also reported on explorer in and in the past have seen sputnik i and ii both of which have since fallen to Earth. From their Midnight positions not far from the football stadium the observers witnessed the fiery plunge of sputnik ii into the Caribbean sea last summer. The most important pieces of in formation still to be obtained from the satellites Are clues to the Den sity of matter in space and the increased density of the air As the surface of the Earth is approached. A detailed study of the orbit it self May Well Tell Man More than he has Ever known about the exact shape of the Earth. Aided by students heading the team is or. Percy Carr a physicist. He is aided by or. Robert Stewart jr., a physicist and electrics Engineer and Joseph h. Seene jr., a civil Engineer and Amateur astronomer. They in turn Are assisted by Iowa state Stu dents who help Man the lonely watch from Midnight to Dawn. The team recently started a series of observations of sputnik ii. In the Chilly autumn nights the team sets up two Complex Cam eras one a which takes pictures As the satellite brightens every nine seconds and the other a smaller camera to catch what the howitzer might miss. Both cameras were designed by Seene. Sputnik Iii streaks across some 3,600 Miles of predawn sky in approximately 12 minutes. After the camera sessions the scientists and students pack up their cameras and head Back to bed for a few hours of sleep before returning to classes. Carr then begins the monumental task of developing the films and learning from them the bits of information which add to Man s knowledge of the uni verse. The information is correlated with other data obtained from a similar watching station at the University of Arizona and another in Alaska and with data obtained from to on watch teams of the International geophysical year pro Gram. Agriculture department sees cheaper food prices in 1959 Washington up the Agri culture department has predicted that food will be slightly cheaper and More plentiful next year. Farmers it said would be paid., less for their products. It also forecast that the demand for food in 1959 would the forecasts were made in the department publication the National food it said prospects Are for food supplies to be larger next year than in. 1958 because of heavier stocks at the beginning of the year and if weather is average Large food the report said Farmers would receive somewhat less for their products in 1959 mainly because of the likelihood of heavier sup plies of hogs and during the Early part of the year fresh vegetables potatoes and poultry it said the housewife would not receive the full Benefit of these Low farm prices because of the Long term upward trend in marketing prices Farmers received dropped 2.3 per cent in the month ended oct. 15
