This is the second authenticated find of dinosaur eggs. The first were found in Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History, The Mongolian eggs, nearly a foot long, at first were pronounced 10 million years old, an estimate which was raised to 95 mil- lion years last winter after scientists had checked the radio activity'- of tate minerals which turned thetu to stone. Describing the Montana, work, Dr. Jensen. said: "A number of broken retuains of eggs were found, ia fragments not more than an inch In diameter. Their age is estimated at millions of years. "The fragments resemble those found in Mongolia inseveral particu- late, both occurring in closely similar geologic formations. The American ones were found in the upper lance formation which was deposited itt up- per cretaceous times." The suggestion of the Dinosaurs' fate came from finding near the eggs a small tootle of au apparently con- temporary animal, a mammal possibly of the Possum family. The early mammals, though small, had better strips," bigger but of the same gen- eral type as the flying boats now oper- ating on the Mediterranean` section of the,England-India air route.

These show a reduction in the total ordinary revenue of Canadaduring the past six months, as compared with' the corresponding period, in the pre- vious fiscal year, of $37,098,574. Ordi- nary expenditure, on the other hand, shows an increase of $7,639,043. The net debt of Canada on September 30 last was 02,146,728,558, or $3,612,522 less than on September 30, 1029. The statement issued today repre- sents only the receipts and expendi- tures which actually passed through the books of the Finance Department up to tite last day of September, The major part of the decrease in Canada's ordinary revenue, according to the statement, results from a fall- ing -off in' customs revenue collected during the past six months, as cmn- par'ed with the corresponding period last year. Customs duties collected during the past six months totalled $73,585,050 as against 597,751,892 in the same period in 1929. This is a decrease of $24,166,842. The total amount derived from ex- cise taxes (sales and stamp taxed during the past six months was $17,- 897,923. This was a reduction of $10,- 547,523 from the 1929 six-month total, which was $27,945,446. Income tax collections were higher during the past six months than in the same period of 1929. They amounted to $65,478,299 in the six months just concluded as against $63,036,700 in the 1929 period. Glycerine. Helps IC rata water is not available for washing woollens, flannels and dello- ate lingerie, add- a little glycerine to the water. This not only renders the water delightfully soft, but helps to eradicate dirt, A teaspoonful to each gallon of water will be 'sufficient. When it is inconvenient to use the usual remedies for removing status front materials, a little glycerine may often be used with advantage. Apply to the affected parts with a pad of soft cloth, allow to remain on the material for a few minutes, then wash in the usual way. If a little glycerine is added to fruit while boiling, considerably less sugar will be required. It also helps to prevent the formatlou of scum. A tablespoonful of glycerine to every three • pounds ot fruit is the right pro- portion. Try a little glycerine for freshening the cover of a black umbrella that has become slightly faded.

Mick Mine.''; last Injures Fi rty Fifteen Suffer Serious Hurts, 25 Others Receive Minor Wounds, When Two Tons of Explosives are Exploded at Flag- staff, Arizona Flagstaff, Ariz, — Fifteen Persons were injured seriously, two perhaps fatally, and 25 others received minor hurts, on Oct, 12111, in a miscalculated explosion of black powder and dyna- mite on a motion -picture location in Dinosaur Canyon, 70 miles northwest of here. Of the 25 receiving minor injuries, 15 required medical attention at the scene. Physicians went to the loca- tion from Flagstaff, the nearest settle- ment of any size. The mishap occurred during the filming of one of the last scenes of a desert picture by Pathe Studios, Inc. The more seriously hurt: William F. Wallace, Flagstaff, chauf- feur; Gailand, powdermau and electri- cian, Hollywood; Howard Riggin, film director, Hollywood; - Bert Gilroy, studio business manager, Hollywood; Walter Hoffman, powderntau, ' Holly- wood; Hubert Morgan, helper, Flag- staff; William Garrett, Hollywood; .lint Cunningham, Hollywood; Marvin Peterson, Hollywood. Film officials said two tons of ex- plosives had been placed in the face of a 400 -foot cliff and in an old mine tun- nel, the explosion being expected to crumble the cliff. . Unexpected presence of hard rock lent the blast violence that had not been anticipated, and showered rock and stone over an area or nearly half a mile. Riggin, the director, was in the lead of several men near the mouth of the tunnel. lie and his companion were struck down by hurtling ruck. William Boyd, leading man in the picture, and Clark Gable, the film vil- lain, were 200 feet from the point of the blast, but escaped injury A sec- tion ection of rock fell between. them, strik- ing neither. Helen Twelvetrees, leading lardy, had left the location and was en route to Los Angeles.

VOLCANO CAUSE Loudon—Volcanic a eruptions may be caused by radio -active substances in the earth which create an intense heat to melt up rocks and cause the explosions, That's the belief or Prof. Jolly, eminent English geophysi- cist. This substance is unevenly dis- tributed throughout the earth, he says, and at the site or a volcano it is in greater quautiiiee than else- where. Province Solves Medical Problem Saskatchewan Grants to Doc- tors Provide Care for Sparsely Settled Areas Itegitta, Sask.—The problem of medical service for sparsely settled areas is being solved in Saslratcite- wan by a system wltich provides for municipal doctors. Distinct progress has been made under a law which is slightly more than a year old. Of Saskatchewan's 865,700 people, scattered over 251,700 square utiles, 14.4 per cent. live in the eight cities. 7.7 per cent, in the eighty towns, 8.4 in the 377 villages, 65.3 in the 301 organized rural municipalities and 2.9 per cent. in unorganized territory, the remaining 1.3 per cent. being Indians on their reservations. Thus there is an extensive area needing medical service, but which makes little appeal to the young doctor seeking to earn an immediate livelihood and to estab- lish himself professionally. The new Rural Municipal act gives to every municipality the right tai mate a grant up to $1.500 annually to a legally qualified medical practi- tHoner who is a resident or is easily accessible on call, or it may guaran- itee his income to that figure. Tite' municipal doctor must give free meda- 1 cal service to iligents, and if neces- sary perform the duties of health of- ficer. In the demand of twenty-five taxpayers, the council must submit a by-law to the electors empowering the council to engage a physician for full-time services at a salary not ex. needing 65,000 a year. Already, under this ro-operative health measure, there are thirteen rural municipalities paying medleai grants of from $900 t. $1,500 annally. Nineteen other municipalities have engaged municipal doctors at salaries varying front $3,500 to $5.030 per year. The system he giving much satisfaction, for it guarantees to the physician a -reasonable lntottte. and gives the ,enters ne'ded medicaltim•t-ice. Artificial Luno -s Save Girl's Life Paralyzed Breathing Muscles Restored to Normal Condition Again Chicago,—Three weeks of being buried in a clanking steel coffin, which automatically forcel :lir in and out of her paralyzed lungs, ended on Oct. 12th for Miss Frances McGann, 25 - year -old student nurse.. She remained in the whirring, vi- brating machine, but physicians said her lung muscles had returned so near to normal that they expected to release her as cured within a few days. "It is simply marvelous," comment- ed Mist McGann, whose head pro- trudd from the machine, which sub- jected her body alternately to air pressure and then to vacuum. "Three weeks ago I was dead, or just as good as dead, and now, well, I'm almost well. again." Three weeks ago Miss McGann was stricken suddenly wigs a mysterious and complete paralysis of the lungs. She was rushed to the hospital, ap- parently dead. Attendant;.• quickly damped hes in the respirator, turned on the motors, and immediately she be - Igen to breathe, unconsciously.

Induction of Artificial Fever Effectively Cures Pneumonia Doctor Also Sta. -s " Feverization is Successful in Combat - in,; Diphtheria and Rheumatism Chicago: Indur s' by electricity of an artificial few,' ' 116 degrees .is the latest and one oft ke most effective cures for pneumonia, lh. C. C. Vinton of New York, secretary, recently told delegates at the opening of the 40th annual convention of the American Physical Therapy Association. "Fever, which kills disease germs, is Nature's method of combating sick - nese," Dr. Vinton explained, "We simply have found means of aiding Nature. Also, we have learned that a temperature of 106 degrees leaves no ill effect on a patient. Dr. Vinton said the use of "fever- izatioa" also has proven a valuable form of treatment for scarlet fever, diphtheria, arthritis, rheumatism, asthma and lung afflictions. In a Memphis, Tenn; hospital, he said, two physicians are usingit to cure insan- ity by killing germs of the spinal cord and nervous, system. The treatment is accomplished, Dr. Vinton said, by applying heat -radiat- ing electrodes to the body and wrap- ping the patient in blankets. The electrical system stakes it possible to keep the temperature under control. Comet Has Missy:!

Some argue that the earth would nave broken into bite at the impact, others believe that like a Derby hat, the earth would have been dented but no- thing more serious would occur. The comet was travelling at a pate which would have left the world far behind. Through. the telescope. watchers could see the comet streak- ing through the field ot stars, lis progress being such that movement was visible to the eye. The Schwassmann-Wachmauu .will be back in live years, but its circuit will be even farther away from the earth. Instead of being 22 times a, far away as the Moon, it will be 30 times, se that from now on there will be lessened danger of a collision. The Third Escape French astroaomera point out that thele have been but three comets come dangerously close to the globe iu the past few centuries, Lexell'e comet caste nearest, missing the world by 1,440,000 miles on July 1, 1770, while the Pons-Winnccke pan- ed by just 3,480,000 miles off on June 27, 1927.

Ground Crew Foil Fog of Victim Novel Method of Burning Gasoline Creates Hole in Dense Fog 1 snt•cessfai small-scale experiment in the artificial dissipation of fog is described in the Bulletin of the Ameri- can Meteorological Soolety on the authority of R. C. Sauey, Here is tile story as quoted in Charles Fitz- hugh Talman's Science Service fea- ture \\'hy the Weather? (Washing, teal:. _� pilot taking off from Cleveland for New York was informed that while the air was clear both at Belle- fonte, Pennsylvania, and 1-ladley Field. New York, the visibility was decreasing, and clouds showed a ten- dency to close in. "The pilot, however, decided to risk the flight, thinking that he could land at Bellefonte in case Hadley Field were foggy. Reaching Bellefonte, the pilot found the field foggy and tate landing impracticable. Hadley Feld was still clear." When half -way from Bellefont to Hadley there came the report by radio that fog had closed in on Had- ley, which put the flyer itt a bad pre- dicament: "Without sufficient gas to return to Cleveland, and with no landing pra- cticable at Bellefont, the pilot con finned toward Hadley. The ground organization at Hadley, of which Mr. Soucy was then a member, could soon hear the airplane circling overhead, and now and then throttling down and almost making a lauding, but zooming up again just before it could Itave touched the ground. "The fog was too douse. "Realizing that the pilot would icon be out of gas and would have to land somewhere. the ground organi- zatton undertook to burn a hols through the fog by pouring aid igniting two fifty -gallon hogsheads of gasoline in the centre of elle field. The pilot, ivlto was apprised by reale of the plan, circled around I.he fire, watching for a hole. As the tiro died down a holo appeared, thro telt which the pilot c',ai.'eit ro a -tar, Tan.' ing on the field." Presumably, Air. Tatman adds, the' fog, in this particular instance at least, seas shallow, and the air was very probably • calm.• "Gettera.ily sitoalting, the dissipation of a fog by heating it is, according to circum- stances, either physicallyintpassible or prohibitively expensive."
