tant to one of the German scientists in preparing the atomic bomb, and who was expelled from Germany in Hitler's days, and so became the cause of the secret of making the atomic bomb passing into American hands. What is this lady's name?

(2) "Liza Meitz." When she fled from Germany to Sweden in 1938 — she is Austrian — there was neither secret nor knowledge of the atomic bomb anywhere in the world. There were only a number of German, Japanese, British, and American scientists racing one another in mere experiments in atomic energy whose results had not yet appeared. As for "Liza Meitz's" part in the invention of the atomic bomb, it is that she rendered valuable services to the committee on atomic research, like the other twelve researchers in this field, of whom she is one. It is glory enough for womankind to claim "the lady of the atom," who today is nearing seventy years of age and who quietly and simply carries on her scientific researches.

(3) Why do fabrics shrink after washing?

(3) It is in the nature of certain threads — wool and linen, for example — to stretch when wetted, thereby producing a contraction in the cloth. The best means of guarding against shrinkage is to soak linen in cold water before sewing it, to pour

boiling water over skeins of wool, and not to hang it out until 14 hours have passed.

(4) Why are kittens' eyes closed during the first week of their lives?

(4) Cats' eyes have the peculiarity of opening a vertical membrane over the pupil by night and

closing it by day; and since this mechanism is not yet complete at the moment kittens are born, their eyes remain closed until the work of the membrane that shields them from daylight is perfected. They are sharp-sighted by night and weak-sighted by day.
