Debate on Atolls

Hcrippa Oceiinouriiphlc inatltti
lion of l.a Jollu, Calif., and Dr.
Ituliih Sawyer of thu University
of Nllchluau, hope that atudlea
niiule In connection with the
liomh testa will aettla delude
over the alructuro of atolls
whether they lire coral enpa to
old volcanic cones or lire built
up on a slowly aulialdlng hum- of
rock tiplhrunt from the sen bot
tom. Ohservatlons ut lllklnl by the
aurvey ship tlowdltch show this
utoll la a ahallow saucer, not
more than Mill feet deep ut any
Point, fringed with small la
lunda and a chain of corul reefs
lind aand rnpa. The outer edm
of tho utoll ends In an abrupt
drop Into about 000 feet of
water, a submarine precipice.
Then the wull of the atoll awtlcs
outward at about 4S decrees,
contlnuInK downward until a
depth of approximately 12.0(11)
feet of water la found at five
miles offshore.
Hnvello thinks the under
water bomb blusts may shake
uwuy corul at tho tip of tho
atoll in small lundslldca extend
ing perhaps I0 feet alonK the
edue. This prospect is nuide
more likely by the fact that this
section of the pacific la free of
earthquakes which elsewhere In
the world tend to settle rock
masses and formations.
May XIII Coral
The bombs may make a dead
reef of the now HvInK coral
atoll of bikini. The scientists
think It possible that radio
activity, contaminating the
water In and outside the luuoon.
can kill tlie animals and plant
iirguniam and thus destroy the
life cycle that builds tin the
reef;
At Bikini have been dlacov
ered several new or rare ma
rine plants, nmonK them a itreen
wuter plant culled tydemnnnla.
Dr. W. H. Taylor, University of
Mlchiiian botanist, said the
plant had been aeen only on one
previous occasion in the Dutch
East Indies at about tho turn of
the century. Scientists report
that an Important clement In
the structure of the reef Is a
rock-like water plant, lllho
thamnlon, which calcifies aa it
grows and becomes part of the
coral formation.
Dr. Schuitz does aome of his
census-taking through use of a
paralysing vegetable poisoning.
II poura aome In Ihe wuter, the
fish aettle to the bottom in a
dazed condition and the doctor
goea down with a diving mask
to look them over . It sounds
eaay until one looks at the
pounding waves that surge in
over the knife-edge coral where
the fisheries experts wade and
dive.

Firemen Show
HewTechnique
The uso of Dugas, a chemical
fire extinguisher used principally
on gasoline and oil fires, was
demonstrated Friday afternoon
before a group of mill, garage
and oil company representative
by tlie Klamath Falls fire depart
ment. J he fire department is
dunning to install three of the
chemical extinguishers on trucks
with permission of the city council.
Although the new chemical
has been on the market for sev
crul years, it has not been used
by the fire department because
of the war.
Dugas is a white powder com
posed of magncsium-aterate and
common baking soda. It acta as
a smothering agent when sprayed
on an oil fire and extinguishes
it in a few seconds. One of the
features of the chemical la that
it will not mix with water, and
once a fire ia put out, it remains
out.
