THERE GOES RADIATION - A midget button-hole geiger counter is the latest development in this atomic age, Inventor R. A. Gould sports one, above, on his lapel. Gould says that the "atom-age boutonniere," as well as the one he holds in hand, could be made by any schoolboy at a cost of not much more,than two dollars. Both devices were displayed at the an- nual exhibition of the Physical. Society in the Royal Horticultural Hall in London. making it much more visible for the viewer and easier to main- tain in an attractive display for the exhibitor. The stands, in the form of an inverted V, Will have shelves in rising tiers so that rearmost products will still be clearly seen over the displays ranged along the bottom and middle rows. * * Comfort and convenience of a first-rate hotel Or club are the first impressions of a visitor to the new cattlemen's dormitory at the Exhibition which will be available this year for the, ex- hibitors and attendants of the livestock show. y. * * Started last yeas. but not com- pleted in time for use by the several hundred men who' find it necessary to remain near their valuable charges, the new build? ing peovides excellent accom- modation for upwards of 500 per- sons. Of fireproof construction, it is divided into corefortable rooms where up to ten men can share their quarters. An atten- dant will register all guests, and each will have a key to the room in which he is quartered. • On each floor there is a lounge room, with comfortable chairs and tables for reading matter. Each floor also has ample toilet facilities and shower rooms. And throughout the building there is space and facilities for prepara- tion of light meals. responsible for the musical ac- companiment to the films, put on the wrong record in the mid- dle of a solemn scene showing a choir chanting, in the chapel of an Austrian monastery. Into this sepulchral baCkground the loudspeaker blared forth a raucous rendering of "There was`I waiting at the church - waiting at the church. . . ." The team modestly admit that the ,evening's success may not have. been 'due to the excellence of the filmst Naturally enough they fre- quently made contact with the roving Anstraliati aboriginal, and learned that the most pre- cioUs poSsessions of these simple tribesmen are dogs. They are particularly useful on cold nights in place of blankets. The number of "blankets" util- ized varies according to the de- gree of coldness. Some idea of the heating value of these dogs can be determined by the greet- ing a native gave Gore after a biting night: "Plenty cold last night - three-dog night." The overlanders paid a visit to the leprosarium, a native leper settlement nine miles from Derby, to make sonic pic- tures. It yeses here that they listened to what is probably the most unique orchestra in the world, the native orchestra of the leprosarium - thirty in- strumentalists playing in the bush 1,000 miles from nowhere. The players came from the most primitive race jn exist- ence, aborgines unable to read or write, let alone read music,' but whose ears can co-ordinate the notes and rhythm of white man's music. They started with a minuet by Chopin and, as proof of their versatility, followed with claes- les, jazz and folk music. The Reverend Mother Alphonsus of the leproserium hospital had reason to be proud of her musi- cians for it was she who, with unflagging energy and perse- verance, had taught her pupils to memorize music.

"In the past few years, agriculture has taken a more leading part in the exhibition, and our exhibits have grown in the number of displays, the attention paid them by the public and the recogni- tion that numerous agricultural groups have given to the signifi- cance of showing and winning here." * * For the second time in three years, the prize money will be increased, particularly in breeds and groups which could be de- scribed as working or service types. In addition, assistance is being given the exhibitors to better present their entries. * • * For instance, cattle exhibitors will be offered facilities this year to have special display cards before animals to which they wish to direct special at- tention. This will give the ex- hibitors a better dhance to draw attention to the wares which they present not only for pub- lic scrutiny but for other breed- ers and dealers who may be in- terested in examining animals oll display. • * New metal signs will be vis- ible this year , over the exhibi- tors' entries more attractive than those used in the past and more readily noticeable.

This, is the smell when many Men are anxiously Manning the sky for the day when they will don a cook's White bonnet and, arnie4 with a long fOrlc, preside over the charcoal grill in their backyards, Those Who de not own a grill are being lured by a vast assortment: of outdoor implements of all sizes and descriptions displayed in neatly stores throughout the country, Charcoal-broiled meats have become the fashion. The Turidsh people discovered, centuries ago, that meat, chicken or fish broiled over chareohl was perlative in taste, No peed to rush out and buy an expensive equips meat, though. In every Turkish home the mangal occupies an how ore,d position in the kitchen the year round, and charcoal is stacked in the cellar ready to be used, Those work-a-day sac mangals (sheet-iron braziers) cost very lit- tle and even the poorest family can afford one they make up in utility what they lack in glamour. It is an art to light a mangal and keep it going all day long with a minimum amount of coal. While the elaborate and handsome grills of today use up a, sack of Char- coal to broil one or two steaks, most of it being wasted, in the greet outdoors, the mange], will keep going all day long on less than half that amount. Ale but there is a secret to it. I do not know whether I should divulge it, considering the thriving business the coal and bri- quete dealers will do this year. It is a wise mother who instills in her daughters, at an early age, the secrets of lighting a good fire. In the old days, especially, the mangal was not only used for cook- ing it heated the water and helped heat the house as well, It was the kingpin of the poorer households in Turkey. Eleni was the uncrown- ed queen of our mangal and gave me my first lessons, Although I did not have to get up early in the morning to start the tire, as many girls had to do, I was drawn ir- resistibly to the brazier and loved the glow that emanated from it. I used to tease our Bleni for days. "Let me light the mangal, Elenl, I have watched you and know I can do it." "You think it is that easy," she would scoff. I found out later, alas, that her scorn was not misplaced. Finally I broke down her resistance. "The first thing to learn is to pick out the right assortment of coals and then to arrange these properly in layers. Come with me to the cellar and I will show you." So down we went the many steps tour cool immaculate cellar where thd charcoal sacks were lined up in one corner. Not a speck of dust was visible for our Blatt, like my moth- er, was extremely neat. One by one Eleni picked the coals, the smooth small pieces to start the fire quick- ly, a little coal (list for a quick flame, and then the large pieces to keep the fire going at a slow but even pace. "Look at this piece," Eleni held it out ,for me, "you can see the bark petrified on It. Beware of that bark it smokes dreadfully never put it on the fire indoors. I can use these pieces tip with care so they are not wasted, but I would advise you to leave them alone now." tip again the many steps with our bucket filled to the brim. Eleni took the brazier outdoors. "Never Start the fire indoors, especially in winter when all the doors and win- dows are closed," I was told. That, it seems, was the first and most essential lesSOn I had to learn our Eleni stressed it repeatedly.

Great spurts, qt steam hissed from the monster to- wards the elephants, This was more than 'they could stand, They bolted in panic. Carl Hagenbeck, the circus chief, managed to dodge to the head of the fleeing group. and halt them. No real harm had yet been done, and probably he would have succeeded in calm- ing the trembling beasts, but panic had now spread to the spectators. Almost crazy with fear, many of them closed in on the ele- phants and began shouting and heating them with sticks, um- brellas, and anything that was to hand. Panic-stricken again, the poor brutes crashed through the crowds, knocking people over as they careened down a side street. In, the mad 'rush to escape the stampede, many people were trampled on and injured. Even the police and military broke their ranks in the confusion, The elephants came to a mo- mentary halt before the Court Theatre,, then stormed into, the entrance, crushing many who had taken refuge there. Soon they were out again, but the slight halt had given Hagenbeck time to catch up with them. For the second time he Managed to halt the beasts, but again the screaming, terrified populace at- tacked them and set them oft once more, In ,,terms of casualties, hew- ever, the worst was now over, as the elephants were getting towards a quieter part of the city where they could be halted and calmed down without dis- traction from the crowds. Though the elephant is un- doubtedly` an intelligent animal, its appearance is rather-decep- tive. Its impressively high fore- head, which gives it such a learned appearance, really means nothing. For its size the elephant has a rather small brain, those massive temples being formed from an immense thickness of spongy bone. All kinds of things can frigh- ten an elephant, the rustling of paper, for example, and keepers in charge of riding elephants at zoos always keep a sharp look-out for little things that might lead to a big distraction. At London Zoo sane years ago,, a full-grown female elephant be- came so scared ,,during a heavy thunder-storm that she col- lapsed and died. It is sometimes said that ele- phants are scared of mice. They aren't really,e though a mouse rustling among loose paper might frighten them. They have a strong dislike for mice and rats, however, and will crush them underfoot if they get half a chance. This is because if the vermin get into the den at night when the elephants are asleep they will gnaw great holes in the soles of their feet, causing them to bleed. Apparently the ele- phants feel nothing and go on sleeping. On one occasion two valuable elephants died the following morning from loss Of blood caused by a night attack by an army of rats. Traps set in the den the next night caught sixty. Memory Selection: I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuad- ed that he is able to keep that which.

Australia In times of crisis it is often the weak, timid little man who rises to the Occasion and sur- prises everyone by revealing unsuspected courage and a cool head, while the tough he-man is just as likely to give way to panic. It is rather the same with animals. The elephant, you might imagine, would take some startling. Yet, of all animals, it is one of the most easily scared, and a terrified elephant on the rampage is no joke. Eight elephants scared to the point of panic in city streets crowded with spectators assem- bled to watch a procession-such were the ingredients of a Mun- ich elephant panic, On a hot July day in 1888 the citizens of Munich were out °in thousands to watch a giant holi- day parade. Among the attrac- tions was a contingent from the famous Hagenbeck Circus', in- cluding eight elephants with their attendants. The public Were largely to blame for the panic. From the start of the procession they had If you want to get the real measure of a man, observe him under fire. Paul, after being stoned and left for dead at Ly- stra, arose and went back to the city and to the others where he had been persecuted, en- couraging the believers. On his next missionary journey he picked up Timothy at Lystra as a helper and later to become a pastor. Paul's behavieur at Ly- sire must have had a winning effect on Timothy. In jail at Philippi Paul the prisoner be- comes evangelist and leads the jailer and his !family to a know- ledge of Jesus Christ as. Lord and Saviour. In today's lesson he is a prisoner before gover- nors and a king. But he has all the royal bearing of an ambas- sador, He is an ambassador in bonds for Jesus Christ. "As he reasoned of righteousness, tem- perance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when. I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Later he stood before the governor, Fes- tits, and King Agrippa and his wife, Bernice. He spoke with such conviction and power that Agrippa• said, "Almost thou per- suadest me to be a Christian." But Paul was not satisfied with bringing people near the deci- sion. He said, "I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether ,such as I am, except these bonds." There i,s to note of defeatism as Paul the prisoner make his defence. His faith is radiant. Ile is an ambassador. We need to read and reread the defenses of Paul. We need the voice of cer- tainly and conviction today. We need a faith worth suffering for, worth dying for. There are peo- ple in many lands around the world who ere proving that they possess such a faith. Do you possess such a faith? Annabel was old.
