Geodetic Reconnaissance During the field season of 1930, the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Depart- ment of the Interior, completed the re- connaissance . for an extensive tri- angulation scheme covering Georgian bay and the North channel of Lake Huron together with adjoining lands including Manitoulin Island. The to- tal area, extending from the southern of Georgian Bay to Sault Ste ?jai ', a distance of 230 miles, which be controlled by such a scheme, will have forty control points distri- buted over an area of approximately 12,000 square miles.

Wells, • For Distinguished Service "Heroes are born, not made," we are"told. Perhaps this saying is true; at any' rate the men pictured above performed heroic service to the public because they had, in their spare time, prepared themselves to render first aid to the injured and were ready when the emergency arose. Each man is a member of the staff of the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada. The Bell Telephone Company provides instruction in first aid for all employees who desire it. Over eighty per cent. of the members of the Plant Department are qualified first aiders. The men pictured above have saved life, resuscitated the nearly drowned, bound up the wounded,, or, by timely action and quick thinking, prevented serious accidents. In each case their services ha\e been rendered not to fellow employees but to the public at large, often times at great sacrifice and personal danger. As a mark of -appreciation, the Bell Telephone Com- pany has made appropriate awards to its men. Top left to right—C, W. Biggin, St, Thomas; E. Tushi'ngham, W. S. Stirling, E. C.

United States Fish Commissioner, who recently returned to Washington from Bangkok, where he is adviser in fisheries to the Siamese Government. So accurately can the little fish hurl its liquid projectile that on at least two occasions Dr. Smith has seen lighted cigarettes extinguished in the mouths of smokers on a verandah a couple of yards above the surface of the pond where the fish were swim- ming. When the shooting fish sights 'an insect that it considers a likely candi- date for dinner, it quietly pokes its eyes and the tip of its snout above water, holding its body at an angle of about forty-five degrees. It opens its wide mouth just the slightest crack in the middle, and et the same instant suddenly squeezes its gill -cov- ers. The speeding drops of .water that shoots forth seldom fails to bring down its mark. Dr. Smith states that Fred—Did you quit your work jii Sedence News Letter; , the shirt factory.

ENDS ..RealaatelticOramtePeicoe More Poultry in Germany Now Than Prior to War Washington.—Despite e usual des- truction of farm crops and farm ani- mals brought about by a great war, Germany now has more poultry, chick- en::, ducks and geese, than it had be- fore the start of the World War, ac- cording to a census conducted last December and made public by the Commerce Department. Steady increases are shown since 1925, resulting at the end of last year in 6,230,400 geese, 3,886,400 ducks, and 87,937,300 chickens. These figures re- present a substantial gain over those obtained for 1913, when there were 5,850,800 geese, 2,086,300 ducks and 63,970,300 chickens. Imports of eggs into Germany 1n - creased materially until 1928, when a decline began, the Commerce Depart- ment announced. The 1930 imports were 219,908,830 dozen, about 20,000,- 000 dozen less than in 1928.
