Allanson Armature hlanfr., 855 Bay St., Toronto. 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. SPASM PREVENTS RESUSCITA- TION Toronto medical research men, one of them Sir Frederick Bent - Jack Miner Says: "Begin With the Children" Jack Miner, the Kingsville bird lover, says "The hope for the betterment of this world is more love and the right kind of education." He always practises what he preaches. This photo shows him, in the -, centre of group, with children which the Kingsville •Lions Club brought to his home for their annual picnic. 14; Gardening Dotes 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. • AVE H EARL) STANDARDS: Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you .

The BOi. rK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY 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. "Vagabond Voyaging," by Larry Nixon. Illustrated. 314 pp. To- ronto: McClelland & Stewart. $2.50.
