Curiosity is a priceless gift. A youngster's daily questions indicate a bright, inquiring mind. They should be answered intelligent- ly. In this column each week the editors of this newspaper will print those questions—and their answers—most frequently asked by children of their par- ents. Why Do the Telegraph Wires Hum? Because telegraph and tele- phone wires are stretched .from pole to pole, they often vibrate or tremble when the air • is in motion. If the wires vibrate rapidly in the breeze or the wind, they produce sounds that our ears can hear, just as 'we can hear the humming of the bee's wings. Sometimes when we put our hands on the tele- graph poles, we can feel the whole pole vibrating, too, from the movement of the wires. We ourselves are able to hum because the column of air in our throats vibrates our tightly stretched vocal cords. In each case, something that is stretch- ed from one support to another is set in vibration by air cur- rents. * * * How Can a Soft Cloud Make a Noise When, it Thunders? It is not the bumping of clouds together that causes thunder. Clouds are too soft for that. Thunder is due to the dis- turbance of the air when elec- tricity passes from one cloud to another, or from a cloud to the earth. As the electricity passes) it causes the air nearby to 'become heated and to ex- pand violently. We hear the •waves' caused by this violent expansion of the air as a crash or roll of thunder. Usually thunder follows a flash of light- ning. * * * Which Animals Are the Most intelligent? The question has been much discussed. Dr. William Horna- day, formerly with the New York Zoological Park, made a study of the intelligence of dif- ferent animals. He said that the chimpanzee is most intelligent and also easiest to train and that the orangutan is not very far behind, The gorilla is much lower. The Indian elephant is next easiest to train; then comes the horse and the dog. The beaver has great intelli- - gence but cannot be trained at all. Lions are more intelligent than tigers or leopards and are also more easily trained. The grizzly is the most intelligent bear. but it cannot be trained so easily as the European brown bear. Wolves and foxes, though they have great intelligepce, cannot be trained at all. -"the deer and the wild goats are in- telligent, but they are hard to train. * * * Why Does Everything Spin Around When We Are Dizzy? The feeling that things are spinning round is a part of diz- ziness. Dizziness may come from several causes. One is faintness, when not enough blood is going to the brain. There is a humming in the ears and the eyes do not work pro- perly; things seem to whirl around. Another reason for dizziness has to do with three little can- - als and two sacs in the inner ear. These together make up our organ of balance. If this organ becomes diseased the per- ' son may constantly suffer from dizziness — the feeling that things are spinning around. As every child knows, we can make ourselves dizzy by turn- ing ourselves around several times in one direction. This dis- turbs the organ of balance about which we have been speaking and the disturbance' gives us the dizzy feeling. If you turn around the other way, you put things right by restor- ing the original state of affairs within the balancing organ. The name for the feeling that things A re spinning round is .vertigo; vert simply means "turn".

Blood, of the OVC Farm Service. The animal may live only two or three hours, but if it lives be- yond a day or two you can expect complete recovery. The symptoms are frothing at the mouth and pain; the pupils of the eye dilate and the animal groans and grates its teeth. There may be rapid kicking and rigid extension of the legs. Bloating frequently occur s. There is no effective treatment. But you can prevent it by fenc- ing off wet areas containing water hemlock. CONSTANCE NEW Miss Muriel WO, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Verne -Dale re- turned horp;< last Wean -04V after an extended trip. Miss Dale, along with her friend, Miss 'Betty Axtmann, spent the past year touring through France, Spain, Portugal and Tangiers, coming back to Eng- land, ngland, where they taught school at Swindon, in Western' Eng- land. At, Eastertime they tour- ed Ireland and Scotland. In July, they made an extended tour throughout Germany, Hol- land, Denmark, Norway, Swe- den, Austria, Switzerland, and to Venice, in Italy. Coming back to England, they sailed from Liverpool on the Empress of Britain, leaving on August 1, and arrived in Montreal August 8th.

Honing, Head of the OAC Entomology Dept. There can be up to 400 fly mag- gots in one pound of manure. He • advises removing the man- ure from the barn at least ev- ery other day. Take it to the field once a week. If you must store manure before spreading it, have only one pile and keep the sides as steep as possible. Everybody's saying "Beat the Tax" ...
