Incredible as it seems, Abrams
made a lot of money ,this way,
Then, about 1920, he announced
a second discovery in "electronic

This consisted of a magic box
which could treat as drugs did
by putting out a kind of vibra-
tory wave and cutting out the
need for drugs themselves.
People just getting used to
the new wonders of radio fell for

"oscilloclast" boxes to other
doctors for $250 deposit,, plus
$200 for instruction course, and
made them swear never to look
inside. Some had eight or ten
of them and charged patients
around $200 for a treatment
course consisting of buzzes.
Many a slightly phoney doc-
tor made $50,000 ,to $75,000 a
year, promising to cure' any-
thing, even tuberculosis and
cancer. By 1923 there were hun-
dreds of these boxes hr doctors'

a Michigan doctor sent him a
drop of blood and he diagnosed
diabetes, malaria and cancer.
The blood was from a young
Plymouth Rock rooster who
hadn't been out of his cage
since birth and was in robust
health !
Finally, 'Scientific American'
magazine commissioned a panel
of experts to study and open
the magic box which had made
Abrams between $1,500,000 and
$2,000,000. Inside they found a

ARTICLES FOR SALE AGENTS 'WANTED OPPORTUNITIES FOR
MEN AND WOMEN
Attending an evening garden
'arty, a well_-knoWit British
natoralist was, asked by a friend
whether he thought it was time.
She fetched her jacket, He gazed
at his watch for several sec-
rods, then told her that, he
thought it w. as hardly coal
enough, since the temperature
Was 72 degrees.
Mystified, the woman asked to
see the "Wonder" watch. But
the Petal:411g laughed and ex-
plained how he had been able to
tell the temperature by it,
In a near-by, shrubbery a tree
cricket had been chirping mer-
sily all the evening. He had
recognized it as the kind, known
to naturalists as the tempera-
ture cricket, and all he had to
do to find out the temperature
was to count the number of
chirps it gave in seven seconds,
double this number and then
add forty-two.
It had in fact chirped fifteen
times in the seven seconds.
Many creatures make handy
temperature gauges, varying the
activities according to whether
it's hot or cold.
For examPle, except for the
so-called warm-blooded animals
(mammals and birds), all ani-,
orals depend for their body tem-
peratures upon the temperature
44 the air surrounding them.
And the rate at which they can
move depends upon how warm
their muscles are.
This explains why on a hot
afternoon a lizard can run away
too fast for you to catch it;
whereas on a cool day it is only
capable of sluggish movement.
The -chirruping of the cricket
Is produced by rubbing the ser-
rated edges of its fore-wings to-
gether, while 'its close Alative,
the grasshopper, "sings" by rub-
bing the hind leg against the
fore-wing. Both, of course, are
the result of the muscle move
ments, and therefore the rate,
varies according to the temper-
ature.
Perhaps the most famous of all
the insects whose voices very
according to the temperature is
another kind of tree cricket
called the katydid, a curious
name derived from the sound
that it makes'.
As the sun begins to set, so
the katydids begin their chorus.,
If the temperature is above 77°.
they give their full call, which'.
sounds like "Katy did," with
every syllable emphasized:
Then, as the evenipg wears on
and the air cools down, the
songs gets progressively shorter
and weaker. .s
Below 77° Katy suddenly be-
comes innocent of whatever mis-
demeanour she was formerly
accused, for all the crickets now
sing "Katy. didn't." At 73°,
however, they again change
their minds and . proclaim un-
animously that "Katy ' did."
And so they go qn, contradic-
ting themSelves every time the•
temperature falls another three
degrees, passing through "Katy
didn't," "Katy did," "didn't"
and finally reaching "did" at
about 60°, after which silence
reigns for the rest_ of the night.
Making• ,use of insects to de-
termine the temperature is qUite
a new idea, but the idea of get-
ling a weather forecast, from
animals dates from much' earlier
limes. One of the Most widely
used of these animal weather
prophets is the European tree
frog, a handsome little bright
green creature.
In many parts of Europe these
hogs are kept in glass jars, and
inside each jar is a tiny ladder.
• The frogs climb up and down
the ladders, and the positions
they take up are supposed to
indicate what kind of weather,

No• Hurry
Don't fret even if Spring is
,getting on and the garden isn't,
In most parts of Canada there is
still plenty of time for planting
flowers and vegetables, In many
parts of this country as a mat-
ter of fact, it is an early season
c•indeed where much planting is
possible before mid-May. Rush-
ing will do far more harm than
goecl. Both soil and air should
start to really warm up before
it is safe to risk most flower and
vegetable seeds.
There are a few things like
the first lettuce and radishes,
garden pegs and a few onions
'which one can plant just about
as soon ,as the last snow leaves,
But the big bulk of the vege-
table planting, things like car-
rots, beets, beans, potatoes, cab-
bage and so on are not safe un-
til danger from frost is about
over. And tender things like
melons, tomatoes, cucumbers
and corn should not be planted
or set ,outside , until .all danger
of frost is over.
The same holds- true in the
flower lines too. The hardy
things that will withstand a bit
of frost are not too numerous and
include sweet peas, cosmos, mar-
igolds and a few others which
are listed as hardy in the' seed
catalogue. Most flowers, how-
ever, so far as Canada is con-
cerned, are only * semi-hardy
and planting these while there
is still danger of frost and the
soil is cold, is largely a waste of
time. Then if they do vow, they
are liable to be stunted by cold
and later sown seed wiLl .be far-
ther ahead in the end.
A Fine Bed
The finer the soil, the better
the seed bed, and especially
when the seed sown is small,
like that of the poppy or' alys-
sum , among the flowers,, and let-
tuce and carrots in the vegetable
'line. If the seed bed is coarse,
.and lumpy,'it will be impos-
sible to keep out air and either
the seeds will not germinate 'id
all or they are liable to produce
only weak plants. It will pay
well to run rake or cultivator
through a few • extra times, and
in very heavy' lumpy clay, if
one can "add a bit of sand and
hurnus, it will make a - big and,
favourable difference.
Await These
The two commonest mistakes
made by amateur gardeners are
planting too thick and too deep.
Seed ,is usually small but the
plants produced• from that seed
may be several feet tall. Bear-
ing this in mind, we should
apread seed thinly, never closer
than"an inch or so, and "even
when so spaced, -most things
will require rigid thinning la-
ter on.
' And almost ,every one is in-
clined to plant far too deeply.
With tiny seed such as that of
lettuce, carrots, cosmos, zinnias,
poppies and alyssum, which are
not much larger than the head
o 1 a pin or shingle nail, it is
not: necessary to cover at all. We
sow these in the finest soil and
merely press in. Then, if pos-
sible, we keep the soil dampened
until germination starts. With
larger seeds such as nasturtiums,
peas, beans and corn, one should
cover lightly, say a quarter to
' half inch. With bulbs or corms
of .gladiolus, dahlias,, or potatoes
one plants four to eight »inches.
deep.

prisoned at Utrecht had nothing
better to do than to watch the
spiders in his cell going about
their daily tasks 'of web build-
ing. Soon he realized their activ-
ities varied with the weather,
and that they seemed able to
foretell changes. After a while
he, too, was able to make a
pretty accurate twenty-four-
hour forecast by watching what
they were doing.
When the canals froze with the
onset of winter, the French Army
invaded Holland, taking their
artillery and equipment across
the ice. Just when the operation
was getting well under way a
sudden thaw set in, and, the
French general ordered a hasty
retreat.
The prisoner had been watch-
ing his spiders carefully, how-
ever, and he learned from them
that the thaw would last less
than twenty-four hours. Some-
how he managed to get a mes-
sage to this effect through to
the general, and the retreat was
called off. The spiders' forecast
turned out to be quite correct,
and within a few day Utrecht
was taken and the observant
prisoner was released.
feet is very attractive, but its
reliability is rather doubtful.
Some creatures show quite ,
obvious changes of behaviour
when the weather is, about to
alter, and are specially sensitive
to the approach of storms and
heavy rain.
In some parts of Europe there
is a little freshwater fish called
the weather fish or thunder fish,
which is sensitive to changes
in air pressure. When a storm
is on the way these little fish
become very energetic, and can
be seen splashing about on the
surface. Sometimes they give
warning as long .as twenty-four
hours before a storm arrives.
Eels are •sensitive to approach-
ing stormy weather and become
very active. Perhaps in their
case they are excited at the
prospects of a storm, because
heavy rain washes an abundance
of worms and 'insects of various
kinds into the river, thus pro-
viding them with a welcome
feast. In earlier times the eel
fishermen of the fens used to
entice eels towards the surface
of the water by beating drums.
The eels obviously thought a
thunderstorm had arrived.
Incidentally, the dying duck in
a • thunderstorm has some basis
of fact. A duck has a particularly
thin skull, and is for this reason
unusually., sensitive to sudden
changes in air pressure. Fre.*
quently therefore ducks do be-
come extremely, restle's's" and• ill
at ease just before and during
a thunderstorm.
Sometimes, th,ough, these ani-
mal weather signs are based on
fallacies. For example, it used to
be a common belief , among
people who lived in Hampstead
that the sea lions at the London
Zoo were able to .foretell rain,
because whenever they could
hear them barking' rain usually
folthwed.. In fact, all this meant
, was that the sea-licins could only
be heard when 'the wind was
south-westerly. At other times
voices didn't carry as far as
Hampstead!
Spiders are said to strengthen
their webs if bad weather is
likely, and careful observation
of a ipider at work once en-
abled the French army to cap-
ture a Dutch town.
In 1794, a French officer im-
