where just a few moments before a Canadian coastal patrol bomber

WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
WEIGHTS
Grasshoppers jumping about in
a box do not lessen its weight;
neither do bees flying about in a
closed hive.
A friend on a farm asked Dr.
Gordon S. Faleher, a physicist of
Washington, D.C., if a hive would
be easier to carry if she stirred
up the bees so they would fly
around. This suggested the grass-
hopper problem to Dr. Fu'icher as
a similar but simpler case. He
has reported to the journal Sale
ence, his findings.
Each grasshopper as it jumps
gives a downward kick to the box,
thereby increasing its weight,
While the grasshopper is in the
air, the box is, to be sure, relieved
of its weight, but when the hopper
lands, the box again receives a
downward thump. Dr. Fulchee
shows mathematically that these
balance out and the average
weight of the box does not
change.
The same applies to the bees in
a closed hive: "The total average
weight nnist be the same no mat-
ter What the actions or motions
of the bees and other parts in-
side the closed container may be."
The same applies"to any body
not at the absolute zero of tem-
perature, for which all the mole-
cules are at rest, At any higher
temperature, because of thermal
agitation, many of the .molecules
at any given instant are in the
air, so to speak, But each mole-
cule as it takes off gives a down-
ward kick and again when it
lands. The weight of the body
as indicated by a balance is an
average of these downward kicks
and of the dead weight of those
molecules that happen to be at
rest. The indicated weight does
not change with temperature.
Have You Hear
A. Lancashire soldier and hie
lass had spent the day together,
and on their return the girl's

"Aw rest," said Jane, "but i

"Well, if I were thee I'd tel: his

A Mayfair bomb fell on a

One small bedroom alone es-

Wardens and police rushed
up. They saw a figure mov.

"Are you all right?" they
shouted.
"Yes," carne the rayl.',
"but I can't find any collar

A woman .estate owner collect-
ed her own rents in order to save
expense. She found one of her
tenants in a discontented frame
of mind and thinking that attack
night be the best defence she be-
gan with a complaint of her own.
"Your kitchen,• Mrs. Brown,"
she said, "is in a very bad state."
"Yes, ina'anm, it is," the tenant
agreed. "And you would look the
same way if you hadn't lead any
paint on you for five years"
"You gave $100 for that
rug?" said Mr. Browne.
"Yea, dear," replied his
wife.
"Now, look here, Mary,
I'm going to put my foot
down on this awful extrava-
gance."
"I don't mind, George, so
long as you wipe your feet
first."
U. S. Prepared
For Gas Warfare
If. gas becomes a weap.on of gen-
eral use in this war, the Chemical
Warfare Service of the United
States Army is ready to give It—
and equally ready to take it.
Major -Gen. William N. Porter,
C.W.S. chief, said the Germans are
known to have large sotres of war
gas, and can be °expected to use
it whenever advantageous.
"So far, in my opinion, the only
reason the Germans have not used
gas is that they have not needed
it," he said.
"We would all be vary remiss,
however, it we went into this
without sufficient quantities of
gas," he added. "We feel now
that we are ahead ot Germany in
the production of gas."

Review of System's Oper-
ations Reveals Surplus In
Revenue
The upward trend of the indus-
trial activity which began with
the outbreak of war and which
was so strongly marked in 1941,
continued throughout 1942, states
R. C. Vaughan, chairman and
president of the Canadian Nation-
al Railways, in a review of the
system's operations for 1942. New
• traffic records were created for
each month, and the traffic vol-
ume for the year exceeds by a
wide margin any previous exper-
ience.
Indicated net revenue will be
$85,000,000 against $66,608,341 in
1941 AIr. 'Vaughan reported. Opeze
ating revenues will exceed $370,-
000,000 compared with $304,376,778
and operating expenses will be
around $285,000,000 compared with

pression top, and passenger traffic
in. millions of passen.ger miles was
2,650 against 1,762 last year and
1,541 In 1928. Mr. Vaughan stress-
ed that while the 1942 volume ot
traffic exceeded that of 1928 by
44 per 'cent. it was handled with
8.6 per cent. less staff, 25.9 fewer
freight cars, 14.2 per cent. fewer

SOME COAL IN EVERY BIN
IS GOVERNMENT REQUEST
Help yourself and your country
by exercising a little patience,
even though you have not received
all your winter's fuel requirements.
Remember, your dealer is trying to
distribute his supplies and make
sure there's some cowl i1. every
bin. You won't suffer for being
patient because there is enough
coal to keep every home warm
this winter. Help yourself, too, by
ordering 'blue coal'. Then you
will be sure of more heat, more
comfort and more economy all
whitey through. You cam find out
about 'blue coal' by phoning the
'blue..coal' dealer In your locality,

A Bird Story
Pilots back from Guadalcanal
recently told a tall bird story. A
marine, they said, captured a wild
parrot and .taught it to shout:
'iHe11o, Joe!" as greeting to any
Jap. He took the parrot to the
front lines, where it shouted the
greeting all day. Other parrots,
free in the jungle, learned the
greeting. Soon the jungle behind
the Jap lines resounded with
nerve-racking U. S. accents:
"Hello, Joel . , Hello, Joe! . .
Hello, Joe! .."

The British Breed
Letter to London Daily Telegraph.
Sir:—I think the doggedness of
an old soldier servant of my
brother-in-law until shortly before
the War, when he was discharged
from the Army as being too old,
deserves recognition. Bombed
out of his home and seriously in-
jured, he neither grumbles nor
complains, but is glad to be back
at his job again. This is what he
writes:
I lost all of my home and also
lost my right eye, and had my
skull fractured in three places.
I was in hospital a long time and
never knew anything. My wife
got hit on the legs, but she is get-
ting on pretty well now.
But never mind. 1 amback
at my war factory work again. I
find it a bit wakward at times
getting about, but I manage.—
From your old obedient servant,
T. N. Gibson.
So long as men like this form
the backbone of England, how can
we fail? Olive D. Adams.

plementing their pay by working
