Announcement of a new chemi- cal which has the power to kill pneumonia germs and has cut the mortality from that disease in half in the more than 200 human cases in which it was tried, was made at the second day's cere- monies of the dedication of the new Temple of Science, the "re- cently completed home of the. Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh.
This life-saving accomplishment has come from researches carried on at the Mellon Institute by Dr. W. W. G. MacLachlan, of Mercy" Hospital, Pittsburgh. and A sociates, Simultaneous with the making of this important announ- cement came the plea by 8lr Fre- derick G. Banting. who won the Nobel prize for the discovery of in- sulin, that the Mellon Institute undertake research of other major problems in medicine and organize. an attack on cancer.

This substance has been avail- able in only small quantities, but in recent months Dr. C. L. Butler. working at the Mellon Institute, evolved a chemical process which increased production tenfold. Ear- ller methods gave a scant five per cent yield and the new method gives a 40 per cent output. With Increased amounts available more extended programme of use of the drug became possible.

SURVEYS BY THE NAVY
33 New Charts

The Naval Surveying Service (writes a Naval Correspondent) works largely out of sight, and almost entirely out of mind. The recently-issued report of the Hydrographer of the Navy as to its unobtrusive labours during the past year shows that six surveying vessels were at work during 1935. In home waters, the Kellett and Finders spent 167 and 168 days respectively, surveying the east, south-east and" south coasts of England, and swept over and located thirty-eight wrecks. They also carried out tidal observations at twenty-four different positions in the English Channel. Other surveying units at home were em- ployed on the south coast of Eng- land, and on the west coast of Scotland resurveying Loch Crinan, Sell and Easdale Bounds.
Abroad, four surveying hips the Challenger, Endeavour, Herald and Stork were in use in the To Break Down Prejudice" West Indies; off Arabia and in the Gulf of Aden; in the South China" Sea, and of Bomeo and Malaya:
