Hidden Waters
In The Desert
British Engineers Have Bored
Down Into Jordan Valley's
Arid Land and Found Oases.
The arid desert of Palestine has
yielded water iu abundance. This
amazing news was brought by Brit-
ish Government engineers who bor-
ed the parched Negeb Desert -and
struck water in profuse streams.
If this water is found on analysis
to be pure, it will be used for
large-scale artificial irrigation in
the dry Beersheba aed Gaza regi-
ons.
Eleven boring plants ai'e bard at
worir on ..desert land in the Jordan
Valley uei hbourhood, and altogetb-.
er 30 deep wells have yielded water,
The results of analytical tests on
such water are not yet known. If
they prove favorable, the farming
problems of Arabs and Jews in Pal-
estine may be greatly reduced.
What Science
* Is Dong *
SEARCH FOR "SNIFF -METER"
Invention of a "sniff -meter"
still baffles the best inventive
genius of the world, it was dis-
closed at McGill University, Mont-
real, last week.
Science has accomplished mar-
vels in the accurate measurement
of most things which register on
the various human senses, but it
still cannot produce anything
which measures smells.
• The detection and elimination of
odors constitutes a practical prob-
lem. For instance, in schools, it
is found necessary to circulate
some 30 cubic feet of air per
student through classrooms though
all that is necessary to eliminate
carbon dioxide and supply' ade-
quate oxygen is four cubic feet.
NINE -DAY CHICK CROWS
Transformation of a baby chick
into a synthetic rooster with a
robust crow in a period of nine
days was accomplished in experi-
ments announced at Leland Stan-
ford University, Palo, Alto, Calif.
Dr. Calvin P. Stone, psychology
professor, said the chick was in-
jected daily with a synthetic male
hormone substance that effected
precocity and developed the crow,
a mature comb and a strut.

EVERGREEN PLANTING
Taking everything into consid-
eration, late August or early Sep-
tember is the best time to trans-
plant coniferous (cone -bearing)
evergreens. While spring trans-
planting at the time new growth
begins is feasible, the plants oft-
en suffer due to the fact that new
slow-growing roots are not abun-
dant enough to supply the mois-
ture demand of the new top
growth, Fall planting does not in-
cur these consequences, for very
little or no top growth is formed
at this season, while the roots are
particularly active. This gives the
roots a good chance to become
thoroughly established by the time
heavy demands are made upon
" them to support new growing tips.
The exception to this rule is
hemlocks, which do best if trans-
planted in the spring. Late fall
planting always is followed by a
high mortality rate, as under this
condition the plants enter the
freezing periods of the year with-
out new roots having a chance to
develop and become thoroughly
settled in their new position.
Warm Soil Stimulates Roots
Early autumn planting, further-
more, has the advantage of fall-
ing into a period when the soil
still is quite warm and this factor
as well is an abundance of soil
moisture stimulates vigorous root
action. Under no circumstances
should the plants be placed in dry,
hot soil, and excavation of the
planting hole should take place
shortly after an abundant rain.
COLDFRAME HELPS
BIENNIALS
The time hat arrived to think
•
of sowing seed of some of the
quicker -growing biennials such as
Sweet -Williams, English Daisy
(Bellis) and Forget-me-nots (My-
osotis). The coldframe is a most
useful adjunct to give the plants
special care, since regular water-
ing and shading are essential to
develop a satisfactory stand of
sturdy seedlings.
DROUGHT RESISTANT
Truly drought -resistant plants
always are welcome in regions
where summer is sure to be hot
and dry. While there are many
good plants that have this quality,
several species of Rudbeckia ac-
tually seem to flourish under such
conditions. Perhaps the most
showy of them is Rudbeckia bi-
color superba, a hardy annual of
easiest culture with flowers that
measure up to three inches in
diameter.
St. Elmo's Fire
On Great Lakes
St. Elmo's fire, a rarity on Lake
Ontario, struck the Rochester-
bound yacht Vision some 12 hole's
out of Toronto, one day last week,
To the amazement of the crew' of
five aboard the ship, the bluish
flames ran up and down the
shrouds, the mast and yard arms.
One member of the crew, thinking
the ship afire, attempted to extin-
guish the apparent blaze with a
fire extinguisher, the skipper re-
ported.
Only die lee side, Skipper Weed -
born Thompson said, was without
the unusual electrical display nam-
ed after St. Elmo, patron saint of
sailors.
Of a flamelike appearance, St.
filimo's fire or light is seen usually
only in stormy weather. More fre-
quent in the tropics, it le of the
nature of a brush discharge of elec.,
trinity, reddish when positive, bio-
Ish when negative.
ing, are reported to have discov-
ered a new physiological fact in
their study of artificial respiration
for drowning persons.
The JIealth League of Canada
announces that an article in the
September issue of the Journal of
the Canadian Medical Association
states that in a large proportion
of drowning cases a laryngeal
spasm develops which prevents air
getting into the lungs even with
artificial respiration,
It has already been observed in
post-mortem examination of
drowned persons that frequently
no water was •found in the lungs,
the article states. The explana-
tion of this fact was learned to
be the action of the body's nor -
may protective machinery which
prevents access of water or food
to the lungs during swallowing.
In cases of drowning the same
mechanism was said to operate
and may persist as a spasm after
the victim has been taken from
the water. Thus artificial respir-
ation is rendered ineffective.
GERMAN SUPER -MICROSCOPE
Magnification up to 30,000 times
is made possible by a new super
microscope invented by two Geo -
man scientists, according to re-
ports from Berlin. The inventors,
Dr. Bodo von Borries and Dr.
Ernst Rurka, utilize electron rays
having a 100,000 voltage current
in their instrument.
INSECTS COLOR -MINDED
Insects aro attracted by lights,
but have preferences in colors. If
lights of a variety of colors are
exposed at night, insects of par-
ticular kinds will be found in
greatest numbers flitting around
the light which has the greatest
color appeal for them. General
Electric engineers observing the
new sodium lights installed on a
bridge at Clinton, Iowa, noted
that the shad flies of that neigh-
borhood did not like the brilliant
pure yellow of the sodium lamps
nearly so well as the almost white
and equally brilliant incandescent
lamps used on the bridgehead. The
insects were recently found piled
six inches deep under the incan-
descent lamps, but only one inch
deep under the sodium lamps. The
red end of the spectrum is much
'less attractive to insects than the
blue end. Insects apparently have
a wider range of vision than hu-
man beings, as they appear to see
the ultra -violet light, which is in-
visible to us but to which many
insects are strongly attracted.

VAGABOND VOYAGING
By Larry Nixon
This book, as its subtitle states,
tells "The Story of Freighter
Travel." But "story" is an inade-
quate word. Larry Nixon gives
his readers much more than tfie
story of the freighter ship's
acquisition of passenger accom-
modations and growth in passen-
ger popularity; he gives them pre-
cisely the information they need
if they want to go vagabond voy-
aging themselves; and he makes
them want to. The list of freight-
er routes and lines covers eighty-
one pages at the back of his book,
and in addition there are "real"
freight ships which definitely do
not take passengers.
The book deals, however, not
with these freight shins which are
freight ships only, but with those
which do carry passengers, for a
moderate price and in acceptable
comfort. It's a matey way of trav-
eling. It's leisurely. It's simple,
of course. But most freighters are
well kept, many of them are new;
they go to interesting places, they
have no inside rooms -Oh, there's
a lot to be said for freighter trav-
el. Larry Nixon says it clearly,
attractively and sensibly, in an in-
. viting and practical book.

An Interview
"And were you pleased?" they
asked of Helen in Hell.
"Pleased?" answered she, "when
all Troy's towers fell;
And dead were Priam's sons, and
lost his throne?
And such a war was fought as
none had known;
And even the gods took part; and
all because
Of me alone! Pleased? I should
Say I was!"
The Exhibition is a
dream of marvels. Here
are gathered some of
the continent's finest
livestock. See them
judged, discussed, par-
aded. Wander through
the stalls and inspect
thein closely. Thrill to the
music of England's Royal Artillery
Band. Watch the excitement of the
harness races. Examine the huge
farm -implement displays. See the
mirror that talks, the Art brought
from Europe. Take the youngsters
to stare at "Hooty" the strangely
intelligent owl, play in Frolexland,
eat in a restaurant on the grounds.
There are a million things to see and
something of interest for everyone,
