STUDYING DEAFNESS.
Partially Deaf Hear Much Better If
Heads are Exposed to Light.
Two Viennese scientists have stat-
ed that Persons who are partially
deaf hear much better if their heads
are exposed to light. This discovery
was nude with the help of a medical
pamphlet more than 110 years old.
Towards the end of the eighteenth
een•ury the University of Gottingen
offered a prize for a treatise on the
effects of light on the human eau-
stitution. Two contemporary scien-
tists, who won the. prize, found.
among: other things. that light im-
proves the faeuLy of hearing.
The recent research work of the
Viennese scientists proved that this
assertion is correct. They experiment-
ed with slightly deaf patients by
whispering words at varying dig- varying concentrations, varying
tances. Then they exposed the heads
of their patients to powerful electric
light and noted an average Improve-
ment of 60 per cent.
The improvement lasts as long as
the light is turned. 041, and ends, as a
rule, with the return of darkness. In
most cases the eff•-c was only tem-
porary, but in some cases the patients
said they heard better for hours
a4terwards.
The experiment failed when the
patients were blindfolded.

RIPENING
OF GREEN
TOMATOES
WILD FRurt AT CHURCHILL
Stranberries 13luebeit•ies, (1'at111et
ries, Etc., Grow I'Ireie.
Churchill Is not a bleak waste.
When Jen Mundt discovered it in
1619, the river was heavily' timbered
and :ho forest abounded 14 small
fruits. Although the forests have
long since been denuded by fire and
ina11'e necessltles, It is still a cauntl7
el 331111011 fruit.
Cranberries gow there in abund-
ance everywhere and In all situations,
writes 3anet Munro, • In Forest and
Outdoors, Tney are not the cran-
berry of 111e marshes of the Fast, but
the smaller berry with decidedly
more flavor, Packed in casks with
sugar they last for years. In this
form, In the old days, they were stn
important article of commerce for the
Hudson 13aY Compeny's shins betted
for England,
On the rocky areas near the ruined
Fort Prince of Wales, gooseberries
thrive and spread about the ground
like vines, Due to the reflected haat
from the stones and gravel, the fruit
Is always most plentiful on the under
side of the bush. Tile diaries of the
Hudson. Bay Company reveal that
inane a pie and tart were ,Wade from
them before Wolfe ever set foot in
Canada.
Hea-her berries, which grow close
to the ground, aro prized because of
the fact that they make .excellent
wine. They abound in seeds and for
this reason jam is seldom made of
them, but the jelly is delicious.
In the swampy, boggy ground con-
ered with moss, the dewater berry or
betbago-tominick, as it is called by
• the Indians, flourishes. I1 resembles
a strawberry, with larger leaves. The
'single berry growing at the end of a
stalk ripens In August and is valued
not only for Its flavor but for its anti-
scorbutic properties.
The juniper berries, called crow -
berries by the natives, mixed with
brandy make a very good wine. They
are' as 131enliful as blades of grass.
It is the stra,wterrY, however,
which is most prised. On areas that
have been burnt over and the moss
removed and soil loosened, they grow
in great abundance and to 1011 extra-
ordina17 size. This Is in part due to
the long, sunshiny clays of this north-
ern latitude.
Next to the strawberry Is the blue-
berry, smaller than those of Eastern
Canada, but superior in flavor, again
clue to the long hours of sunlight.
Besides being eaten fresh and pre-
served with sugar, they are dried like
currants and used for cakes and to
mix with pemmican.
Red and back currants abound,
the former, which are more or less
in their wild state on the prairies,
being especially plentiful.
In no part of the Hudson Bay re-
gion is the eyeberry as plentiful as
at Churchill river. They never grow
du swampy ground nor in the woods,
but in small Hollows among the
rocks,
After the strawberry, blueberry
and cranberry comes the raspberry
in the estimation of the Churchil-
Ilans.
Many other species of berries
abound ther3, but the natives, with
such abundance of better fruit at
hand, leave them to the birds,
It is well known that where straw-
berries will grow a species of apple
may be developed that will prosper if
the trees are guarded from ,he heavy
Frosts of winter. A century ago all
berries grew In Lanark and Huron
Counties, Ontario, and it was believ-
ed that apples and plums could never
be grown on account of the snows and
early frosts. The belief lasted for
twenty -Ave years or so.
When Churchill exports Its apples
to England, history will have again
repeated itself.
In some sections there is a 0011"
siderable demand for ripe tomatoes
after the season for this crop is
normally over. This requirement
may successfully be met by artific-
ially ripenng the fruits inJoors.
Fruits that are being ripened should
be well -grown, free from blemishes,
such as splits in the skin, bruises or
frost injury. It has been found. how-
ever, that the very green fruits will
not make a desirable finished pro-
duct. Therefore, the tomato should
be as near to maturing as possible.
If such fruits can be saved and store
ed in a moderately cool room, at
about 60 to 65 degrees, they will be
found to ripen nicely over a con-
siderable, period.
There are several method; of
handling the fruits, among which
probably the following are the best.
The fruits should be wiped free of
all sand and graded into bear ripe
and quite green and wrap them in
tissue paper, after which they should
be placed in a single layer on a shelf,
or in baskets. Some prefer to place
the fruits on the shelves or in bas-
kets without wrapping, either me-
thod is quite satisfactory, although
the fruits wrapped with paper will be
found to wither less than those put
to ripen without wrappers.
Then there is the ethylene gas me-
thod of ripening. This measure of
repening requires special equipment
such as a gas proof room into which
the fruits are packed 011 trays or in
buskets. The gas can be used at
TH'E SWALLOW.
In Winter Migrates from France to
the Lesser Antilles.
An Interesting link leas been dis-
covered between Prance, and the
French island of Martinique in the
Lesser Antilles. A swallow habitual-
ly built her nest under the eave of a
certain house at Saint Avoid, near
Rietz. The owner decided to try an
experiment, and shortly before the
annual migration toward the end of
the summer attached a message un-
der the swallow's wing. This read:
"During the summer of 1927 I lived
with M. A. R. at Saint Avoid, and
when I return to him I am to let him
know where I have been In the
interval."
The swallow came back and bore a
fresh message homeward, which says,
"During the winter I have had my
nest on the house of M. Bady in the
island of Martinique, and be sends b3
me hie sine.re greetings to my for.
mer hoc,"
Martinique being seve1al thousand
miles in a, roughly, southwesterly di-
rection from. Prance, this proves the
swallow to he as adept a transatlantic
flyer as the pl'ots and aerial naviga-
tors of to -day,
from one cubic foot of ethylene gas
to 500 cubic feet of air, to one cubic
foot of gas to 5000 cubic feet of
air. The temperature of the ripening
chamber should be maintained
around 65 to 70 degree:. In six days
ripe tomatoes can be obtained.

And each must make—
Ere life is flown,
