The Seaforth News, 1930-11-20, Page 3Sun Eclipse Gives New Data on Moon Discovery of an Unknown Wave Length in Corona Spectra Held Aid in Lunar Studies Photographs Are Praised Nivafou Island—The discovery of a, new wave length in the spectra of the sun's corona and further informa- tion on the movements of the moon were announced -recently by Amerl- ean scientists as the fruits of their observation of the solar eclipse here on October 22. Spectrographs obtained by Dr. S. A. Mitchell,, • scientific head of . the American Naval Observatory expedi- tion, caught 'manifestations of the eeee heretofore unknown weve ,length, which showed itself at 6,770 angstrom -units. An angstrom unit is one- hundred-millionthof a centimeter. The date ,is expected to be useful in competing movement of the moon and in forecasting future eclipses. Coronal disturbances on both the east and west edgesof the sunwore recorded. These appeared to have had their origin'` to eruptive promi- nences. The detail shown iu the spectrographic lines, of the• coronium (chief constitutent gas of the corona) did not resemble that exhibited by the prominences. Changes in coronal forms shown' by the successive spectra indicated vio. lent motions in the inner corona, These disturbances could be traced to as far as 100,000 miles beyond the sun's surface and, As far as is known, never have been observed before. Development of photographic plates indicated the expedition had been successful beyond. expectations. A shortage of fresh water delayed de- veloping.

Bat unfortunately some few of the many different kinds' of germs have learned how .to attack human beings, with the result that in the great king- dom ofgerm life there are some kinds more dangerous to humans than all the mighty beasts of prey the world has ever seen. Yet, till the seven- teenth century no one had ever seen these tiny shapers of human destiny. Let us consider a concrete example of a germ that attacks the human sys- tem. Let us consider diphtheria. Germs of this disease attack the throat of a human being: in such a warm moist place they rapidly feed and breed. Now if that were all' that happened it wouldn't be so bacl, but like all other living creatures germs give off an excreta and this in the case Of diphtheria germ is poisonous to the human system. Tbis poison spreads throughout the body, and as a result of it the disease kuown as diph- theria develops. From this example, we see that many diseases are caused by different kinds of germs. To better understand this, let us picture a walled city in the middle ages, a city peaceful and prosperous. Suddenly an invading army sweeps down upon it.

Hawk Daps Mood During Wartime Baden-Powell Tells Remark- able Story of Mummified Bird From Egypt London`—An extraordinary tale of au Egyptian mummified hawk that drips "blood" during war time was told recently by Lord Baden-Powell, chief scout. Lord Baden-Powell says he is not superstitious enough to believe that the hawk roaily forecasts the coming of war, but-.hinks its prophetic pow- ers are Pan amazing coincidence." Askew to amplify a brief reference he made to the bird at a recent oan- quet, he said: "The bird, which is in a mummified state, was discovered in 1887 by a friend of mine during ex- cavation work in Egypt, "By comparing it with other things discovered at the same time, he con - eluded that the bird was at least 4,000 years old. "I saw the thing for the first time the other day at a friend's private museum, It is in a wonderful state of preservation, and although the eyes are gone, one can still clearly see the beak and the feathers. "on the shelf where the bird stands, I noticed a dry, brown stain, and when I questioned my friend' about it he -told me that about -a month be- fore the outbreak of the Boer War the hawk became damp and gently oozed bubbles of this stuff. "All through the campaign this `sweating' continued, until about a month before the war ended, when as suddenly and mysteriously as it had begun, the dripping ceased. "But exactly a month before the outbreak .of the Great War the hub. hies again appeared,and the amazing fact is that they again stopped just a month before the Armistice," Pithy Points The wise speculators never spaced - ate.

If the walled city's soldiers are strouger than the army of invaders, the attack is resisted and the city continues its life — weakened, of course, by the siege. Similarly if the body's • army of defence is stronger than the attackingarmy of germs, the attack is beaten off, leaving the body weakened Prom disease. But if the germ -army is too strong the defenders are beaten and the patient dies.

Are you troubled with headaches, a poor appetite, irri- tability and a lack of ambition? If so, it is probable you have been using up tbo much nervous energy - you have been going full steam ahead without feeding the nerves. Nerves that have become weakened and shattered through over -work or worry need nourishment -the nota- ishment gained through rich, red blood. Good blood feeds the nerves and gives them greater vigour and vi- tality. No other medicine has been so suc- cessful in treating nervous disorders as have Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Their sole duty is to enrich and renew the blood. That is why they are the ideal nerve tonic.

"I can't wear them," you may ob- ject. "They sag or bag; they are not comfortable." Stuff and non- sense; Unless you have au abnormal foot, you are just as well able to wear this smart type of shoe as any- one else. They need choosing with care that's all! A court shoe needs to be of a very good shape. Some people may fled the new type cut down at the side and then up egaiu, very satisfactory. Otherwise it is well to choose a pair cut rather high. These fit to the foot bettor, give more support, and do not show so wide an expanse of instep. This, particularly in a broad foot, can be very ugly. Never choose et court shoe that is on the small side. In this type of shoe the foot has a natural tendency to slip forward a little. If the shoe is tight or short, the toes will draw in a little; obviously an unnatural and bad position for walking. Choose, then, a shoe that fits easily. If it sags a little at the sides, have it shrunk while you wait. Do nothave it shrunk too much at first, but re- turn and he,ve it shrunk again as soon as the shoe has hail a reasonable amount of wear. This is the proper' treatment for court shoes. These shoes need shrinking and good shoe shops usually expect to give this treatment. Court shbes lose. their reputation for smartness at once if they are allowed to sag. Court shoes are not satisfaotoiy for long distance walking or for rimming. In • each case, they seem to give in- sufficient support. The plaincourt shoe is, perhaps, the smartest. Tile court shoe with a buckle tends to make the foot look larger. I rather like to see the rain Come sweeping o'er the moor; Or wildly race the heaving waves From 'skyline to the shore; Or on the petal of a rose, A bevelled crystal gem; Or clinging to a spider's web Upon a bracken stem. I rather like to feel the rain Beat fiercely on my face, As with a stinging, flicking whip it hurries on my pace. But though I rather like all these, When all is said and done, To tell the truth, I must confess I much prefer the sun!
