Torrid Air Found
In Upper Altitudes
Details on the existence of per-
petually torrid layers of air in the
otherwise cold upper atmosphere
were disclosed by the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics,
a United States Government re-
search agency.
Results of studies by a special
NAA subcommittee show a hot
zone with temperature at' 170 de-
grees Fahrenheit from 30 to 40
miles above the earths surface,
Above this the air grows colder
and drops to below zero tempera-
tures at about 50 miles. Front there
on out the air grows hot again
and reaches 210 tlegrees at 400,000
feet, the present limit of investiga-
tions. The probable maximum at
this level is probably above 600
degrees, It always has been as-
sumed that the air remained at a
constant temperature of minus 67
degrees. Fahrenheit from an alti-
tude of about 30,000 feet on.

SPOTS OF SPORTS
By
FRANK MANN HARRIS •
("A Six Bit Critic")
In conversation, with a 10 -year-
old Toronto lad just the other day,
it came as something of a shock to
learn that he had never—excepting
in the movies—seen anybody either
walking on snowshoes or sailing an
iceboat. It made us realize to what
an extent those two once -popular
pastimes have passed out of our
modern sports picture.
♦ 0 0
Snowshoeing 'was once enjoyed
by thousands in many sections of
Ontario and Quebec, with regular
championship meets being held,
and races contested at various- dis-
tances. ,But now, most of the sports
record books fail to give it even a
casual mention, and to most folks,
excepting in parts of the north
country, it is just a curious mode
of locomotion sometimes seen on
the screen. The culprit responsible
for its demise was, of course, no-
thing else but ski-ing. For once
even the most enthusiastic snow-
shoer tried .out the waxed blades,
he realized that—as far as kick and
excitement were concerned—there
was about the same difference be-
tween the two as, say, making love
to a pretty girl over the long-dis-
tance phone, and doing same in
person.
o * e
Ice -boating, even in its palmiest
days, only had a comparatively
limited number of devotees; but
there was a time when frozen
Toronto Bay was a thrilling sight,
with dozens of the top-heavy look-
ing craft darting over the ice at
speeds of a mile -a -minute and up-
wards. It always used to mystify
regular sailors no little to see the
darned things, after they had what
was technically known as "punched
a hole in the wind," scoot around a
triangular course with no change at
all in the set of the canvas, making
practically the same speed on all
tacks.
e 1, 0
Iceboat sailors used to be very
big-hearted in the matter of dishing
out free rides; but they weren't
always as generous as they seemed.
For one of their favorite tricks was
to get a greenhorn aboard and,
after lulling him into a false sense
of security, suddenly throw the
thing into a viciously abrupt turn—
and some of thein could turn on a
dime and give you ninecents...
change, Whereupon the passenger,
who had neglected to keep a firm
grip on the realities, would go
whirling and spinnhig across
several acres of glassy -surface,
finally piling up in some snowbank
with a )vile or so walk shoreward
staring hint in the face,
t '0 '!
But it was all good clean fun,
especially if you didn't happen to
be the greenhorn in question. How-
ever, the March of Progress has
tramped all over this robust and
hilarious sport, at least as far as
Toronto is concerned. What with a
much smaller ba$' surface, because
of land -reclamation, and channels
to Island and pumping -station kept
open all winter long, it"is doubtful
if iceboating will ever again lure
the youth of 'the -City of Churches
into passing up Sunday School on
a frosty afternoon. But they'll
probably find sosnething else that
will serve the purpose just as well!

What with these bad bold gun-
men rudely interrupting their dice
Sessions and robbing them of their
hard-earned Mone y, a n d the
minions of The Law continuing to
act very impolitely toward anybody
who looks as if he was even think-
ing of accepting a wager around
hockey games and other sports
events, our poor friends the gam-
blers continue to take a gloomy
and morose view of life. But we
have no doubt they will manage to
come through, somehow or other,
as they have in the past,
Off To Africa
Twelve 'white legltorn cockerels
from the Hambley Hatcheries,
Winnipeg, arrived in Montreal on
the Canadian. National's Transcon-
tinental Limited, en route to the
largest farm in Southern Rhodesia
via Saint. John, N.B. Accommo-
dated four to a crate, the birds
were fed and watered during' the
Canadian portion of the long trip
by Canadian National Express at-
tendants. They will sail for Africa
on the cargo ship "Cargill."
