The Brussels Post, 1955-08-17, Page 7HOUSE OF ANTENNAE—It looks like the folks at Round Hill
mansion in. South Dartmouth, have gone TV crazy. But actual-
ly, these aren't TV antennae at all. They're being used by the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop long-range,
point-to-point radio communication. The giant "corner array"
'antenna is beamed at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 1100 miles away.
The dish antennae are for UHF transmission, of, voice signals.
These new broadcast methods are being developed to supple-
ment presently overcrowded conventional transmission bands.
Water Bombs
Away!
The college prankster who
somehow thinks it funny to drop
a paper bag filled with water
on or near s'omebody can find
a future in' that sort of thing
now if he wishes. Canadian for-
est rangers have found that an
enlarged version of the water
bomb, using a laminated paper•
bag and dropped from a low-
flying airplane, can check or
control a small forek blaze un-
til ground crews can reach the
fire to extinguish it. The bags,
each holding 31/2 imperial • gal-
lons (about four U.S. gallons),
are often dropped in "strings"
of eight.
Now, using a different type
of plane, the foresters believe
they have improved on the 'first
system. They have equipped a
plane with a 240-gallon water
tank which can 'be tipped to
dump the load in three or more
installments where needed. The
water is said to be the more
effective because it reaches the
ground in the firearea as a fine
rain. Now, watt' till, the rain-
makers get hold of that idea!

COALMINE EMPLOYERS
BACK IN THE AIR — First German-made,. aircraft since the end
of World War II is exhibited at the Fifth Annual German Air-
port Day at ,Bremen. Called the "Motor-Raab,"-it's a glider-type
plane powered by a Valksvvagen engine. It flies for five
hours on five gallons of gas.
tions due to external factor:
which are impossible to control
have also developed. For exam-
ple, in one particular instance,
four 'fields of red clover were
laid out and varying numbers of
honey bee colonies were intro-
duced to them. One colony was
placed in one field, two in anoth-
er, three in another and five col-
onies in the fourth field. In the
first field the harvested seed
yield was 115 pounds per acre,
and in the second field the red
clover produced a yield of 226
pounds, per acre. In the field
where three colonies had been
added the yield dropped "off to
195 pounds per acre and in the
five-colony field the yield was
186 pounds per acre. A check
field where no honey bees had
been introduced produced a yield
of 60 pounds per acre. * *
At first glance' these figures
appeared to indicate no advan-
tage in adding more than two
colonies of honey bees to this
specific acreage of red clover.
However, closer investigation
„, proved otherwise. It is believed
that seed yield would have con-
tinued to increase with the in-
crease in honey bees had it not
been for competitive crops such+
as buckwheat in the area. Pos-
sibly other factors sh6uld also be
considered as responsible for the
drop in seed yield at' the three
colony level. Harvesting loss
could in some cases • be as high
as 50 per cent, and the density
of the red clover stand could
have varied somewhat between
the fields. At any rate there was
a decided increase in seed yield
where bees had been introduced
over the check field, of red clo-
ver. * A
Another factor contributing 'to
higher seed yield is the control
of injurious insects by the use of
insecticides. Control of these in-
sects by the application of toxa-
phene ' appears to encourage'
honey hees to forage for nectar
and pollen, resulting in greater
seed set.
Cured By a Tickle
A 13-year-41 French boy who
has been mute for ten years re-
gained his speech 'after being
tickled by his foster-sister. He,
is Robert Pignot, of Montaigu,
near Poitiers.
At the age of three, the boy ,
suffered a physical shock and
became mute. Doctors who ex- '
amined him could not find any
physical cause..
What in the beginning looked
like a passing phase, however,
developed into a chronic "condi—
tion. Robert was brought up in
a school for the deaf and dumb
,at Poitiers.
• In September, 1952, a warm-,
hearted well-to-do lady, Madame
Devallois, adopted him and an-
other orphaned child, • Odette
Fouganey, three years his junior.
One day, while playing with
her foster-brother, Odette start-
ed teasing him, and tickled him
under the arms. While laughing
heartily until tears streamed ,
doWn his cheeks. Robert cried:
"Stop it, Odette—stop it! You
are hurting me!" The girl ran
to her foster-mother, crying:
"Mother", mother, Robert can
speak!"
"I didn't believe her at first,"
said Madame Devallois, "until
Robert hurled himself into my
arms, crying, 'I can speak—I can
speak!'"
Robert now goes to an ordin-
ary schodl like other children.

Deep under the mediaeval for-
tress of Akershue, overlooking
Oslo harbour, there has just been
completed one of the biggest air-
raid shelters in the world'.
-Blasted. out of solid rock with
the help of terelve tons of dyna-
mite, it is more than 600 feet
long and can give shelter to 3,000•
people. Above the shelter is a
layer of rock averaging about 60
feet thick.
In peace=time the authorities
hope to use the shelter which
has cost $200,000, for exhibitions,
storage, and other purposes. An-
other big underground shelter
built in Oslo recently is now'
housing. Norway's biggest furni-
ture exhibition, and last Decem-
ber a dhristmas fair was held
there!
A third vast Underground
warehouse being built at Eke-
berg, Oslo, will be ready next'
auterine. More than 6,06,000
cubic feet' of rack have been
blasted out to *lake theSe under
mountain' cheinbeiS.
Altogether there will be 48
storage rooms of )here than 6,06
square feet each Immediately

Several methods of growing
Pullets have proved satisfactOrY.
Such details as sufficient space
In pee-and range shelters and
plenty of hopper space are, per-
haps, more important than the
actual method of rearing, provid-
ing the birds are reasonably well
fed. Pullets are being grown en-
tirelyindoors with satisfactory
reatiltai The use of shelters on
grass range, however, is more
iopular than confinement rear-
ng with pullets hatched in the
spring. I
Experimental work shows that,
it is not necessary, and may even
be harmful, to force the growth
and development of pullets with
very high, protein feeds. On the
other hand, severe restriction of
feed may be equally harmful. If
aOme feed restriction is practised
it is necessary to dispense the
feed in measured amounts in
'troughs or on the ground, since
restriction on the basis of length
of feeding time is relatively in-
'effective in retarding feed can-
sumption. * I *

A visitor from Australia
walked into the Rolls-Royce
showroom and paid cash on the
line for the most expensive li-
mousine model. "Ship it to my
sheep ranch outside of Sydney,"
he instructed the sales, manager.
A year later he was back to
order another car. "Best model
I ever saw," he exclaimed, "and
you can quote me on that. I
particularly approve of the glass
partition between the front and
rear seats. Most ingenious fea-
ture of the whole car." "Why
do you say that?" inquired the
Rolls-Royce representative. "It's
like this," explained the. Austra-
lian. "I roll that window up,.
and I'd like to see the damn
sheep that can lick the back of
my neck while I'm driving it •to

Only one who has been an
exile can fully appreciate Psalm
137. "To hang your harp on the
willow" is a well-known saying.
`Mow shall we sing the Lord's
song in a strange land?" The
exiles were loyal to their home
country. They lived in Babylon
but their hearts were in Jerusa-
lem. As the years went by •their
longing for 'home increased. A
letter from Jeremiah warned
them against the false prophets
who said the time would. be
short. He urged the people to
build houses and plant gardens ,
and adjust themselves to the
land. "Seek the peace'of the city
pray unto the Lord for it: for
in peace thereof• shall ye have
peace," God meant this exile for
their good. "I will give them a
heart to know Me, that I am the
Lord: — they shall return unto
Me with their whole heart." 24:7.
The faithfulness of the exiles'
to God must always come first.
Their co-operation with Baby-
lon was not to be a compromise.
When the Hebrews were requir-
ed with the others to bow to
the god when the music sound-
ed, three young 'men refused to
bow. They were given another
chance. But they would not be—
come idol worshippers. They an—
swered in the bold words of the
memory selection. Their iiVes
were preserved in the fire as
one like the Son of God walked
with them. Another testimony
was given pagan Babylon.
God was with , the exiles. It
was a' better people' who later
returned to Jerusalem. They had
been refined and purified in the
furnace of affliction. We still
have this faith: that God through
affliction blesses His people. We
learn some lessons there that
we can learn in no other way
A satisfactory method of rear-
ing pullets with a minimum of
labour, is followed at the Can-
ada Department of Agriculture
Experimental Station at Freder-
icton, N.B. The method involves
full feeding of mash and' grain
On ranges, with free access to
oyster shell, grit and water,
Large, well constructed feed
hoppers which require little at-
tention, are used on range. Mash,
oats and wheat are fed in sep-
arate hoppers, or in separate
compartments of each hopper.
The birds balance their own ra-
tion, and a much larger propor-
tion of grain than mash is usually
eaten. The pullets are housed
and fed a laying ration before
egg production exceeds five per
cent.

Q. How can I make a liquid

A. An effective liquid glue• can
be made by putting naphtha into

A. When bothered with ants,

Lives With Bullet,
Imbeded in Heart
"Between death and Amedeo
Galli," wrote an Italian journal-
ist, recently, "there exists a non-
aggression pact." This is hardly
an exaggeration., Amedeo Felice
Galli, a fifty - eight - year - old
bookkeeper, has had a bullet in
his heart for the last forty years,
and is still going strong.
He sustained it during the
First World War. In May, 1916.
he was a soldier in an Italian In-
fantry regiment, ordered to make
a bayonet charge against an Aus-
trian position. The attack was
heavily.repulsed, and the Aus-
trians maintained a bombard-
ment even when the Italians had
retreated.
Galli was one of the few sur-
vivors, but was left lying on the
battlefield, unconscious and ap-
parently dead, when the attack
English than her fiance.-
ed. To the village of Goria
Minore went a message that,
Galli had fallen in action.
The Austrians, too, believed
Galli was dead. Indeed, they
were just about to bury him
when one of their doctors noted
that his heart was heating; very
faintly, but definitely still mov-
ing. Galli knew nothing about all
this.
When he eventually opened his
eyes with the familiar words,
"Where am I?" the reply, from
Professor Steinmaurer, an Aus-
trian surgeon, was. "Vienna Hos-
pital, my friend. You are alive
by a mirqls amend Iait ought to
ffi be put in a useum."
Galli remembered his name
and the circumstances of his
wound,, but his surprise was
enormous when he discovered
that he had been unconscious for
almost a year: the month, in fact,
was April, 1917.
Steinmaurer, who was intri-
gued by his case, took the 'oppor-
tunity of the arrival of new
X-Ray equipment to give him an
examination. At first- he could
not credit what he saw, and
looked twice more before he
could believe his eyes.. Yes,
there was definitely a bullet in
Galli's heart, wedged in the
right-hand ventricle.
The bullet is still there today.
Now and again, he becomes un-
conscious for a couple of hours,
when the bullet takes a certain
position less beneficial to his
constitution, but on the whole
he is a remarkably fit and active
man for fifty-eight years—and
a miracle for a man with a bul-
let in his heart. He is married,
and has children.
