H. Greathead designs the When- Comets Strike the Earth 13y DR. H. H. SHELDON in Science and Invention Thousands of years ago the ani- mals which inhabited the earth Were stopped in their .tracks;' birds went flying crazily, to'sh:.'ter; plan, if he existed at that time, fell to his knees and prayer to whatever gala were their popular. The earth shook and swayed beneath their. feet, For days - they did not dare to venture -forth from their shelter: And then, only because the need for food made it imperative. The earth had re- ceived the worst wallop it has had since' its formation, A direct hit had been scored upon it from inter- stellar space. , Many thousands be years later civilized man,' man as we know him today, stumbled upon the peculiar scar' that was loft on' the earth by the trentendotts , impact of tiiiq gig- antic projectile and wondered at its peculiar shape, In Arizona, was a giant crater,; 4,000 feet in diameter, surrounded by a ragged land 'forma- tion, resembling a wall, about 120 feet high. It looked a good deal' like 'one of the huge craters so evt- dent on the surface of the moon,. when. viewed 'through a telescope: — During recent years this crater has been the subject of much in- vestigation. • It has been known by various names, the moat recent, The Barringer Crater, as a mark of re- spect to the Barringers, father' and son' who, carried on such •prolonged research in its connection.. Numer- ous theories have been advanced as to the origin of this strange crater, among them that it was the ooliision of „the earth with a meteor, .,.and again, that 'it was formed by ero- sion. These `theories have been die - proven, and we feel certain today that it was . caused either by a 'very large meteor, arriving on the earth with terrific velocity, or possibly by collision with a comet. It must have been a most awe-tnsplring sight. Imagine, streaking out of the sky, a huge mass of material, perhaps four hundred feet in diameter, and tailing behind it a long tail of white hot matter, burned by the heat of friction with the air! Picture this huge white-hotball striking the earth with a thunderous impact. Dust from powdered rocks fills the atmosphere, while the earth fairly stops In its tracks, and shivers! Un- imaginable explosions follow. Water, in the saturated rocks, has been turned to steam by the tremendous heat oaueed by the impact from this giant missile. Dust cloud follows dust cloud, until It seems that the very earth is being rended apart, for utiles. Hours after, when winds have cleared- the atmosphere, there is a new row of hills visible at a dis- tance. On going close they are found to have been formed by the, dust which was [reaped up around the! center of disturbance. They term a closed circle, aid tlho whole resem- bles a huge arena formed to stage the . world's most spectacular drama. Nodules of iron, perhaps still hot, are found for miles around. It is these which, centuries later, forst the ma- jor clue to what •took place at this Point of the earth's surface. Just what became of the comet has puzzled geologists. Extensive bor- ings proved that it had not been buried deep beneath' the Noor of the crater, and the conclusion arrived at is that the meteor was completely destroyed by the impact. 1885 drives a bicycle with it Thus seal'$" • ' the automobile begins.

What you Waist is a screw- driver, not a motor -driver," ' 1 Certain insects, including ants and bees, have a remarkable power of adepting themselves 10 their environ - menta In this, respect some; scien- tists regard :them as 'superior to j mankind. If, as supposed, the meteor was composed wholly of nickeliferous iron, calculations„ indicate that it iney have been about 4,000 Net in diameter. and weighed some ten mil- lion tons. Only a few tons of iron are now left. But this is not at all surprising, for iron quickly- oxi- dizes when exposed to the air.' That is why's() few moteors are found after they have been seen to fall. The iron nohiles, of which several tons have been distovered around the crater in Arizona, are those which were Of. a resistaut nature. But whether or not the meteor was wholly of iron is open to quell - tion, The Barringer theory is to the effect that it 'was composed • ot many fragments of Iron not bound to- gether., o gether.These formed the immense cluster which made, up the meteor. If any stone had been 'present in the cluster it would have been ground to powder, as 11 iu. a ball -mill, and would have been, separated from the comet or -meteor. There are outer theories, one of them, quite to the contrary, that the iron nodules must have been bound together by rocks, else small surrounding craters would have been produced by pieces, from the main body by tite friction with the earth's atmosphere. This rock coating might have ; been powdered so fine as to have completely disap- peared from the region. The nodules were probably round- ed by the Beat of the impact, or per •haps, , they received. `their rounded form during their long travel before they reached the earth. The fact 'remains that we cannot, as yet, say exactly what the nature • of this meteor was; noreau we say what velocity it had when it struck the earth. , This famous crater has often been likened- to the craters ' which are Arywhere to be seen on the Sur- face of Me mopn, some of which are as•.much as five .hundred mitee across .and ten miles deep. Much speculation has existed' as to the possible origin 'of these. There is as yet no suggestion that seems more reasonable than that these, too, were formed by meteor bombard- ment, perhaps at a time when' the, moon was hot enough to have been somewhat plastic. Craters almost exactly resembling those of the moon can be formed by dropping stones in soft mud. A comparatively small stone will make a very large crater, if given sufficient velocity. We ars quite sure that the Arizona Crater is actually due to a meteor. Is one likely to strike the earth' again? Is it possible that such a meteor might flatten out one of our large cities tomorrow? The answer to this question, .disturbing though it is, must be in the affirmative. In a news item in the New York Times' of last January an item states "The huge red ball, with, a shower a! sparks in its train wee flattened at the rear and seemed half the size of the moon. as it reached its zenith." Its yellow and red tail was describ- t ed as being approximately twenty times the diaateter of the ball, and "Increasing in brilliancy as it reach- ed the eastern horizon the meteor il- luminated the darkened sky sad, against its radiance, the white dots of stars paled and faded together from the heavens. Startled Man-,hattanitea breathed easier when the fiery sphere aped beyond their view below the artificial horizon of sky- scrapers." There would be no reason for great surprise if a meteor even lar-' ger titan that 'which struck in Arizona I years ago should strike tomorrow,1 or even inthe next hour after this is read. It Is one of the chances we must take. Na *tical Elevator Is Feature of New Submarine Buoy Main Feature " of Dc - Vice Fitted With Wire- less and 'Phone / A new device for rescuing men frpm sunken submarines has recent- ly been ecent-ly;been invented by kierbert P. Good, of Philadelphia. The distinction be- tween his invention and others de- signed to accomplish the same pur- pose is that it is built as an integral .part of the submarine and is, there- fore, immediately available in ease 01 need. The main part of the device con- sists of a buoy which operates as does an elevator. A tube reaches from the floor of the submarine to its deck and aids in carrying the ,buoy from the sunken submarine to the surface .of the water, By a system of watertight ':doors . a man is enabi ed, to enter the buoy from the sub- marine and is then raised to the. sur- face. The buoy ria fitted with both wire- less and telephone, making it possible to communicate with other ships' while at the same time keeping touch with the men, in the submar- ine below.. In this buoy a man can be sent up from the submersible, attach the wireless in a few moments and put the ship in touchwith other vessels, even though the customary wireless inside the submarine is put out of commission. The man in the buoy stays there until • aid is received. He can re- port progress ot the rescue anti at any time be tran"sfefred to the rescu- ing vessel. The buoy may then be lowered to 'the stricken submarine and the mon, one after another, can be sent up and taken aboard., Provi- sion has been made so that .the' last man can leave as easily as the first. When all have been taken from the sunken submarine it is possible to USG the cables attached to the buoy to draw the submarine into shallow' water or even aid :n raising it. Advantagea claimed for the device are: location right in the submarine where It is available at instant no- tice; the buoy above the surface aids in locating the exact position of the sunken submarine below the waters while at the same time wireless mes- sages may be sent; and all operations are activated by two forces always at hand in a submarine—man power and water power. • -,. — Dart Found in Skeleton 0E Prehistoric Beast Angus, Neb.—Buried beneath the Shoulder blade ot the skeleton of a mammoth elephant that roamed the Nebraska plains 250,000 years ago was found 'be excavators a Folsom- . type arrowhead. Discovery of the dart, believed to have been shot from a bow, supports the theory advanced In recent years that Nebraska was populated by a nation of prehistoric Indians who hunted the giant beasts 01 interior North America. 'The skeleton was found in" a high bank on the farm of Ross Brooks, southwest of here. Tho shoulder blade alone measured nearly five feet long and three feet wide. Tihe Fol- som -type arrowhead was first dis- covered In Texas, where scietttists found the darts imbedded In the skate - tons of prehistoric buffaloes. Good Grounds They were travelling to the city together. "Heard the latest news?" said Jones. "Our village is to build a sieve concert -hall." / • "That's news indeed," said Bray. ='Wlho told you?" "That fellow Brownson," said Jones. "He's fearfully delighted.' "Bat Brownson isn't a bit musical," said Bray. "What grounds has he to be pleased?" "The gtoutids 01 the coneert-hall which he sold to the district emu - ell," Jones replied. Geologists estimate that the earth! encounters from ten to' twenty `nil - lion meteors everyday, and that as many as a trillion strike the sun' every secoud. Most of these are of negligible dimensious, mere dust I spectra which burn. up as soon as ' they strike our atmosphere. Meteors ' of sufficient size to give the Appear- ance ot falling stars can be seen in 1 the sity any evening at the rate of seven or eight 'per hour. One must i be away from city lights to encoun ter 'this number. On the average, I there are perhaps, as many as a hun- dred every year of sufficient size to reach the earth without having been consumed by air friction. , They may weigh anywhere from a few pounds to as much as seventy tons,! the weight of the largest meteor aver discovered, which was located' in Southwest Africa, There is no rea- son to believe that we are immune from possible bombardment by large meteors which might strike in an even more vulnerable spot, and which would create an interesting, though disastrous experience. Homesickness 'Cured There's a long grind between entering college and the graduation exercises. The telephone helps bridge many difficulties as the following incident shows: "However . do you get along without Horace?"' asked Mrs. Sparkles_who had call. ed to console Mrs. 'Rathburn following the departure of her young son to boarding school. "John and I were certainly very anxious and would have just worried our lives out had,we not arranged for Horace to call us on the telephone twice a week. In fact Principal Chapman explained to us what an advantage it was to have students , call their parents at regular intervals. "In most cases he said the charges of thesecalls are reversed to be paid at the home telephone.' "I•le said, too, that it made the students more contented and homesickness has practically disappeared." - Just another example of the important part played by the long distance telephone in family life.

Rosenfeld Poultry and By comparing egures for 1900 and • 10gg Co., Limited, Montreal , for 1930, Dr. Jolan'Dollard .offers per- centages to show that almost every economic activity of the family, from tending the furnace to planning the interior decoration, is' gradually be- ing put into the hands or specialists outside ,the home, as well as educa- tion, religions training and recrea- tional' and other functions. Hiscon- clusion, however, is that this trend does not necessarily nrean the Jeanine or the family, but results in an ex- teftsion of its. interests. Some of the contrasts sketched by Dr. Dollard the university reports as follows: "Where formerly women remained at home, doing house and family work, with only one woman out of every seven employed outside the home, one woman in every four was a breadwinner .in 1920, and out of every three working women in 1929 one was married. "Between 1900 and 1923 the aver- age attendance of children in public schools increased 100 per cent. and expenditures for public schools in- creased 4.1 times as fart as did the number of families. Teachers are taking children.away from their per- ents fol' longer periods and at ten- derer ages. "Between 1922 and 1927 the num- ber of trained workers in urban re- creation programs increased from 11,000 to 20,000. The weekly atteftd- ance at moving' picture .theatres tripled between 1922 and 1930. "The number "ot Sunday school soholara increased 46 per cent. dur- ing the last 30 years and the average contributions of church members in- dicated that at least 60 per cent. in- crease was made in purchasing pow- er, while such practices as saying grace at meals declined. "The Wass of certain functions, by the fancily need not mean Its de- cline, however. It will rather' offer the opportunity for a more effective integration," Dr. Dollard declares. "The disintegration of family func- tions," It observes, "Is uudoubtediy accompanied by widened interests." Food For Thought The professor was lecturing on na- Itural history.
