WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING WEIGHTS Grasshoppers jumping about in a box do not lessen its weight; neither do bees flying about in a closed hive. A friend on a farm asked Dr. Gordon S. Kulcher, a physicist of Washington, D.C., if a hive would he easier to carry if she stirred up the bees so they would fly around. This suggested the grass- hopper problem to Dr. Fulcher as a similar but simpler ca.sc. He has reported to the journal Sci- ence, his findings. Each grasshopper as it jumps gives a downward kick to the box, thereby increasing its weight. While the grasshopper is in the air. the box is, to be sure, relieved of its weight, but when the hopper lands, the box again receives a downward thump. Dr. Fulcher shows mathematically thai t\vtfe balance out and the average weight of the box does not chance. The same applies to the bees in a closed hive: "The total average weight must be the same no mat- ter what the actions or motions of the bees and other parts in- side the closed container may be." The same applies to any body not at the absolute zero of tem- perature, for which all the mole- cules are at rest. At any higher temperature, because of thermal agitation, many of the molecules at any given instant are in the air, so to speak. But each mole- cule as it takes off gives a down- ward kick and again when It lands. The weight of the body as indicated by a balance is an average of these downward kicks and of the dead weight of those molecules that happen to be at rest. The indicated weight does not change with temperature. U. S. Prepared For Gas Warfare If gas becomes a weapon of gen- eral use in this war, the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States Army is ready to give It and equally ready to take It. Major-Gen. William N. Porter. C.W.S. chief, said the Germans are known to have large sotrea of war gas. and can be expected to use It whenever advantageous. "So far. In my opinion, the only reason the Germans have not used gas la that they have not needed It." he said. "We would all be very remiss, however, If we went into this without sufficient' quantities of gas." he added. "We feel now that we are ahead of Germany In the production of gas."

A Lancashire soldier and hit. lass had spent the day together, and on their return the girl's mother asked how she had en joyed herself. "Aw reel," said Jane, "but J think Joe-'s a bit mean. He nobbut spent sixpence on me all day." "Well, if I were thee I'd tek his sixpence back and mek him ashamed of himself,-" said her mother. Late that night, Jane knocked on JOP'S door. "Ere," she said. "Tak thi six- pence back. I doubt if tha can afford it." "Ee," said her lover, ''tlia shouldn't 'a bothered to-neet. It would "a done in t'mornin'."

"Your kitchen, Mrs. Brown," she said, "is in a very bad state." "Yes, ma'am, it is," the tenant agreed. "And you would look the sanie way if you hadn't had any paint on you for five years." "You gave $100 for that rug?" said Mr. Browne. "Yes, dear," replied hit wife. "Now, look here, Mary, I'm going to put my foot down on this awful extrava- gance." ''1 don't mind, George, so long as you wipe four feet firt." The conceited young man was beinjf even more boring than usual. "It's a fact," he said with pride, "that people often take me for a member of the Guards." His fair companion wasn't im- presHcd. "Really?" she drawled. "Fire- shin - railway mud - or black."

Freight traffic la millions of ton miles was 32,000 against 27.200 iu 1941 ami '23,041 in 1928, ante-de- pression top. and passenger traffic in niil.iuiis of passenger miles was 2.65(1 asainst 1,762 last year and 1.541 In 1928. Mr. Vaughan stress- ed that while the 194. volume o? traffic exceeded that of 1928 by 44 per cent. It was handled with 8.6 per cent, less staff, 25.9 fewe 1 ' freight cars, 14.2 per cent, fewer passenger cars au<t li.O per cent, fewer locomotives, while the fuel consumption in 1942 was less by 45,000 tons. After meeting ail operating ex- penses, including equipment depre- ciation and appropriate charges for deferred maintenance and re- newals Mr. Vaughan indicated, net revenue of the company will be sufficient to pay taxes and all other charges, including interest due to the public and to the gov- ernment, and leave a substantial surplus to be paid to the govern- ment. A Bird Story Pilots back from Guadalcanal recently told a tall bird story. A marine, they said, captured a wild parrot and tauirin it to shout: "Hello, Joe!" as greeting to anj Jap. He took the parrot to the front lines, where it shouted the greeting all day. Other parrots, free in the jungle, learned the greeting. Soon the jungle behind the Jap lines resounded with nerve-racking I'. S. accents. "Hello, Joe: . . Hello. Joe! . . Bello. Joe! . ."

Sir: I think the doggedness of an old soldier servant of my lirother-in-!aw until shortly before the war, when he was discharged from the Army as being too old, deserves recognition. Bombed out of hi? home and seriously in- jured, he neither grumbles nor complains, but is glad to be back at his ju again. This is what he writes : I lost all of my home and also lost my right eye, and had my skul. fractured in three places. I was- in hospital a long time and never knew anything. My wife got hit on the legs, but she is get- ting on pretty well now. But never mind. I am back at iiiy war factory work again. I find it a bit wakward at times getting about, but I manage.
