can now have the strength of their "breath" measured. Stated in slightly more technical terms, a definite measurement can be made of their pungency, by a new distillation process devised by Hans Platenius, a young research scientist at Cornell university. Mr. Platenius' technique is no mere chemical stunt, either; anyone who has ever bought or sold onions in quantity knows that strength or mildness in onions is reflected in cold cash on the hard cobblestones of the produce marketplace. The Cornell measuring system is based on the fact that the pungency of an onion depends on a sulphur-containing oil.

There is very little of this in an onion. One mass analysis some years ago used up more than five tons of onions and yielded less than half a pound of the oil. But it goes a long way. The oil, known chemically as allyll-propyl-disulphide, contains about 43 per cent of sulphur by weight. Hence, any method which will measure the amount of sulphur that can be evaporated out of a given lot of onions should give an indirect measurement of the quantity of the onion oil present, and hence of the strength of the onions' This is just what Mr.

Platenius' method does. He steams the vaporizable sulphur from the sample of onions under analysis, and then by suitable chemical means precipitates out the sulphur so that it can be weighed. The method is rather slow, so that it is not recommended for routine analysis, but it offers the first accurate quantitative estimate of the relative strengths of different lots of onions to replace the human nose.

Approximately 75 residents have been without city water this week because of frozen water pipes between the street mains and their meter boxes.

This is the first time since 1929 that the city has experienced trouble of this kind and then only a few cases were reported. At that time city workmen and plumbers were able to thaw out the pipes by means of an electrical appliance. That method is no longer practical because of the grounded electric system. The new appliance is a small steam boiler, weighing 700 pounds, mounted on wheels and can be moved easily from place to place. Deeds Recorded William C.
