WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
Water Can Be Used
To Start A Fire
Water is ahnost universally
thought of as a primary fire ex-
tinguisher, writes W. P. Keasbey in
the Christian. Science Monitor.
$owever, under certain spetiai
Londitions, water also can start a
dire.
Most of us have eiited a burning
glass or have seen 'one used. A
burning glass is merely a lens of
snageifying glass gr-4-utid in such
s way that it.brin s to a sharp lo-
llop
the ;rays .;,f. ght 4hich pass
' When usa y'n bright sunlight it
can concentrate all the rays that
tall on° its surface (say three in-
ches in diameter) onto a liny area
sot much bigger than a pinhead.
This concentration of rays results
in a corresponding concentration of
beat, and when the sunlight bil-
ling on the burning glass is focused
on dry paper, dry shavings, or
other readily eombustilbe mater-
ial, the heat will soon cause the
substance first to char, then to
.rnoke, and finally to burst into
flame.
Water has two properties in
(common with glass and these pro-
perties make it possible for water
to start a fire. Clean water is trans-
parent like glass. Also, -like glass,
water bends rays of light that pass
through it at an angle. This bend-
ing of light rays by ' water is fa-
miliarly seen in the fact that a stick
4r a pencil, thrust into water at an
angle, seems to bend where it en-
ters the water's surface.
•Since water lets light pass
through and sends it as it passes,
water is placed in a clear glass
co.ntaigere of the proper shape, it
elan act like a burning glass—it
can concentrate rays of sunlight to
such an extent that their focused
teat can cause combustible material
to burst into flame. Water in a
goldfish bowl might produce such
'an effect.

In his work by a secretary who de-
nised a shorthand system to record
Cicero's speeches as he dictated
them.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1. What would be considered the
two extremes in conversation?
2. Should a girl begin to put on
her wraps when she has dined with
a man, and is leaving the table?
3. Is it good form to makee a
lengthy ca11 of condolence?
4. If one has received a wedding
announcement, it it good planners
to write a letter to- the bride?
5. If one has to pass people who
are seated in a theatre in order to
reach one's scat, is an apology
necessary? •
G. Where is the proper place to
seat a woman guest of honor at the
dinner table?
An veers
1. -Ocie voutd?be monopolising
the talk to the eoint where every-
one is bored; the other, letting the
conversation lapse every time it
reaches you. 2. No; either the
girl's escort or the waiter should
assist her. 3. No; this call should
be as brief as possible. 4. Yes; it
would be nice to send best wishes,
but it is not obligatory unless an
irvitation to tin ceremony is re-
ceived. 5. Yes; apologize quietly
and then sass on as quickly as pos-
sible. 0. To the right of the host.

War Bin Will Pass •
Trillion Dollar Mar
By the .end of this year the cost
of the war 0. 411 belligerent nations
will be near the almost unimagin-
able total of a trillion dollars,, says
the Winnipeg Free Press. The bill
will pass the trillion mark in 1945,
according to figures , compiled by
the Tax. Institute of New York, .A.
trillion dollars is a million million
or a thousand billion—a sural never
used in human history before to
reckon the cost of war or any other '
activity. •
The Tax Institute calculates that
the Axis so far has spent about the
same amount on the war as the
United Nations. But the balance .of
expenditures is now shiiting rapidly.
and this year the United Nations
will spend $1.50 billions as against
WI estimated total Axis expendi-
ture of $50 billions. It must be re-
membered, of course, that a dollar
will buy more in the Axis countries
than in the Allied countries, where
wages and living standards are
higher.
