NEW
WATER
DISCOVERED
Scientists
Experimenting
With
DenlcrlunvOxide
or
Heavy
Water
The
discovery
of
a
new
water
heavier
than
the
common
water
was
made
two
years
ago
and
since
that
time
experiments
have
shown
that,
when
used,
It
has
the
effect
of
retarding
or
in
some
cases
preventing
growth.
Dr.
Neal
Carter,
director
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Fisheries
Experimental
Station,
told
about
it
at
the
weekly
luncheon
of
the
Ro-tory
Club
on
Thursday.
The
speaker
repeated
what
all
students
knew
that
water
was
made
up
of
two
parts
of
hydrogen
to
one
part
of
oxygen.
It
was
made
up
of
molecules
and
each
molecule
could
be
separated
Into
three
atoms.
These
were
composed
of
protons
and
electrons,
there
being
a
definite
number
of
each.
A
gallon
of
ordinary
water
weighed
ten
pounds
but
a
gallon
of
the
recently
discovered
heavy
water
-
denterlum
weighed
approximately
11.05
pounds.
A
great
many
scientists
were
now
experimenting
with
this
new
water.
It
had
been
found
that
not
only
had
It
a
deter
rent
effect
on
growth
but
that
It!
prevented
yeast
from
fermenting
and
Its
power
of
dissolving
ordinary
salt
and
other
substances
dif
fered
from
ordinary
water.
Within
the
past
week
or
two
a
small
quan
tity
of
the
heavy
water
had
been
offered
for
sale
for
experimental
purposes
and
the
price
asked
was
at
the
rate
of
$2,240
an
ounce.
