Study Weather To Find When Flood Coming Metereologists Believe They Can Make Long-Range Forecasts of Deluges and Droughts - The possibility of long-range fore- casting of deluges and droughts has come out of the work of two research assistants at Massachuetts Institute of Technology, who for five days and four sleepless nights charted: charac- teristics of a high pressure area in the Atlantic. Meteorologists sald they believed disastrous floods east of the Missis- sippl two years ago were largely in- fluenced by this zone, known as the Bermuda high,. To Chart Upper Alr Research on the area is based on the ifronson that this body of upper air, when fully. charted, will disclose definite seasonal and monthly trends which can be predicted with certainty and used to indicate the type of weather ahead over a longer period than fs now possible. The interest of meteorologists in the high pressure zones is a compara- tively recent development made poss- ible only by the use of the radfo- metecrograph, a device which soars fnto the stratosphere attached to a balloon, broadcasting to listeners be- low -the pressure, temperatures and humidity in the successive layers of air through which it rises. With this instrument aboard a freighter, the meteorologists charted a 1,600-mile gection from San Juan to New York through the Bermuda High, a semi-permanent high pressure area centring off Bermuda. They made 26 readings from the freighter, at four to five-hour inter- vals, The average flight of each bal- loon was 380 minutés and those from Every Friday Night © .on.a national "coast to coast network. Linked With Rainfalls The value of successive chartings of this area, sald Prof. Carl GG, Ross- by, head of the M, I. T, division of meteorology, lles in the belief move- ment of air in the upper atmosphere is linked closely with mean monthly rainfalls. Through other readings the division hopes to learn the structure of the high pressure area: The meteorolo- gists expect to find these zones are made up of several "cells" of air, each rotating on its own axis. Already this cell structure has been observed in the upper air over the American .continent and a distinct correlation between its "flow pattern" and rainfall appears to be indicated. Animal World's - Greatest Wooer The Black-Crowned Night Heron Proves a Dramatic Swain The great lover of the animal world it turns out, is the black-crowned night heron, The only bird that habitually has a "stooge," the heron employs in court: ship an elaborate routine of deception, play-acting and psychological domina- tion, says Dr. G. Kingsley Noble of the Museum of Natural History, New York. A typical heron love affair, Dr. Noble disclosed: last night in a lecture reporting his several years' study of animal courtship, goes )'ke this: Soon after hatching, herons join in pairs, without regard to sex; one mem- ber of each pair dominates the other, demonstrating his superiority by al- ways holding hjs head higher than the "stooge." 7% "4"Henpeck System" In the mating season a male ap- proaches a female, and, taking the subordinate role, tries to invelgle her into marriage by the "henpeck" sys- tem. When the female indicates tentative approval, the male at the psychologi- cal moment reverses the roles and he starts. dominating -- If he doesn't, the female will leave. A Psycapathic Heron Then, to demonstrate his prowess as a potential husband, the male heron for days goes through _ calisthenics, brandishing twigs with his beak--"He never does anything with them--they just symbolize all the houses he could build," Dr. Noble explains. , Finally, it he has. carried the show off properly, the female consents to a permanent match. J Dr. Noble reported one case of a psychopathic heron. He lost his fea- ther head crest in transit to the mus- eum, and the females shunned him, related, and then resorted to exhibi- tionism, waving his legs and hissing, even before purely imaginary audienc- es. He finally got a wife. ' Costa Rica Called Most Flowery Land Plants of -the little country with more varied vegetation than any area of its size on this continent--a country with about 6,000 varieties of flowering shrubs and trees, includ- ing more than 1,000 different kinds of orchids--are described in "Flora of Costa Rica", published by Field Museum Press. No other area of its size in North or Central America has a flora so rich and varied as Costa Rica. In area, the country is about the size of West Virginia, but its flowers and plants are about three times as nu- merous as those of that state. Few tropical countries anywhere in the world can rival Costa Rica in the variety of its orchids and ferns. Robots That Travel Fifteen Miles Up Balloons containing mechanical weather prophets and floating 16 miles above the Arctic may be 'the means of warning of approaching cold weather. Each balloon will carry a cylinder-shaped mechanical weather prophet weighing two pounds, This cylinder consists of patent weather-recording devices at- tached to: a wireless transmitter, which willl wire reports automatically at half-minute intervals to observers far below. Three bases are to be established, and the balloon tests will be helped by high-altitude flights by aero- planes. The difficulty at the moment is that the balloons often burst at high altitudes, and so the apparatus has been fitted with small parachutes. A reward of $1.25 is offered for each one 'found. 178 Yonge St, Toronto three to nine miles.

Here and There WITH THE (OUTS me » MEA The Boy 'Scout Santa Claus of the Toy Repair Shop at Calgary, had a real surprise when he received: a let- ter from a group of children at Air- ways, a rural district 176 miles northeast of Calgary. The request was, not for toys, dolls or story books, but for schqol books. Ran the letter: ' "We have had poor crops for six years around Airways and Hughen- den. There are children here who want to study, but they have no school books and no money to get them." i Warfare Modishness Women of Japan have been urged to. adapt the above style of dress,' in the interests of efficiency and economy. Issue No. 52--'37 A--C Mention of the appeal in the Cal. gary Herald brought prompt re- sponse, and it is certain that these stout-hearted children of the prairies will receive not only the desired school books but toys and other gifts as well: Approval of the Boy Scout Move- ment in Grecce, and assurance that he will do all in his power to further its success, was expressed by Prime Minister Metaxas, following a parade of Scouts'at Patras. Alfred C. Bossom, a British M.P., has presented a handsome silver challenge shield to the Boy Scouts of Bathurst, Gambia, in recognition of the habitual good turns performed by these coloured Scouts for tourists calling at that West African port. The shield was accepted on behalf of the Gambian Scouts by Mr. Orms- by Gore, Secretary of State for the Colonies. Irom time to time letters from tourists, especially women trav- clers, have told of the services ren- der¢d by the African Scouts at Bat- hurst and Freetown, and the fact that like Scouts elsewhere the boys refused to accept any reward. A first aid station for motoring casualties has been established by British Rover Scouts at Bignell's Corner on the Barnet By-pass road, nea Barnet. The station, 'which "cost $300 to equip, is manned every Saturday afternoon and evening and all day Sunday. Over 30 Barnet Boy Scouts quali®ed to wear the St. John Ambulance Association badge take turns en duty. The roads in the ~iziti'y Fave Leen the scene of nu- merous accidents, Leading Bankers . Canada's Review Economic Outlook BANK OF MCT TREAL ANNUAL MEETING Confidence Expreeced in Country's Capacity for Recovery An impressive record cl strength and of expanding busiv~ss in keep- ing with the marked imwrovement of trade and commeree throughout the Dominion during the past year was presented at the 120th annual meeting of the Bank of Montreal recently hekl in Montreal. In viewing business conditions over the wide territory in which the hank operates, Sir Charles Gordon, the president, said that these had much improved and were a happy contrast with the condi- tions of but two years ago. The one really serious handicap was in those portions of the Prairie Prov- inces where drought caused total or partial loss of the crop. Canada, he sald, had been de- monstrating in the past year a re- markable resiliency in productive enterprise, As instances of this, he referred to the immense growth of gold production and of the output of industrial metals remarking that with the exception of iron, Canada was now the world's largest ex- porter of hase metals. Canada's Manufactures Worth Three Billions Heo further pointed out that whereas Canada was until quite recently regarded as a country de- voted almost entirely to agricul ture, today agriculture provides 86% of the exports and other forms of industry the balance. Canada now employs 600,000 people in 30, 000 workshops, mills and factories, and the annual value of its manu. factured products amounts to more than $3,000,000,000, In concluding his remarks, Sir Charles, while not attempting a forecast on the Canadian business outlook, expressed his confidence in Canada's "remarkable capacity for recovery," which, if not unduly affected by international disturban- ces, would, he felt, mean a 'contl- nuance of the better times - which Canadians had experienced during the past year. Commercial Loans Show Increase One of the most important fea- tures of the financial statement presented by Jackson Dodds, on be- half of himself and his fellow gen- eral manager, G, W. Spinney, was the increase shown in current loans in Canada of more than $23,000, 000 to $182,500,000. For the ycar ended September 30th, the current loan of all the banks had increased by $75,600,000. While the increase was welcome, he sald it was not commensurate with the growth in the volume of business and the im- provement In commodity prices. Bank's Assets 79.68% Liquid The assets of the bank, standing at $829,600,000 were the highest since 1929. Of this amount $599, 000,000 represented quickly avail able resources, equal to 79.58% of Habilities, to the public, amounting to $762,736,000. - Among other highlights, tle statement presented hy the general managers showed - that deposits by the public had increased by $28,000,000 to $681,000,000. Com- menting on this item, Mr, Dodds sald: "Despite all that is written 'and sald nowadays on the subject of 'loang creating deposits,' 'foun. tain pen money' and 'monetizing' assots, including what is described as 'our cultural heritage,' it is safe to say that not one of our custom. ers, whose balances make up qur total of deposits by the public, has any doubt whatsoever as to how his or her deposit came into being." Credit Assistance For Young Farmers United Farm Young People of Ontario Seek Aid From Do- minion Government "Ontario's organization of young farmers -- the United Farm Young People of Ontario -- wants - some help from the Dominion government for young persons starting farming. Concluding the United Farmers of Ontario three-day convention at the organization's youth movements passe ed a resolution urging the Dominion government provide credit assistance to young people beginning theii farming career on their own farms. Ask Leadersh'p Department They passed another recommend- ing the Ontario government establish a department of rural leadership and sociology at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. - The resolutions came after they "heard Farcithar Oliver, U.,F.O. member of the provincial-legislature for Grey South, urge them to unite "in one gigantic organization to fol- low the middle-way political philoso- phy expressed by the co-operative movement." It was their duty to see Commun- ism and Fascism made no headway in this country, he added, and that farm movement '"'adopts the middle- way approach." Bear Rises Up And Walks Away While Petrified Londoner Takes Root and Looks Gn A brush with a north woods black bear that evidently didn't like to be disturbed from his hibernation slum- ber was recounted by Ora Peacock, London, Ont.,, market trucker, who went on a trek to the Huntsville dis- trict for Christmas trees, Mr. Peacock related how with three assistants he drove into the hintere land 80 miles north of Huntsville in search of choice balsams and spruce Arees. Only Eight Feet Off- "Two of the boys were up in a big balsam tree sawing off the top 18 feet and I was down below preparing to receive it. I first noticed the bear when one of the boys in the tree told me to turn around. "Not cight feet away a big bear, and believe me, it was plenty big, was marching straight for me. Tt was the most hair-raising experience of my life. I was rooted to the spot. It came right up, growled at me and then marched back into the thicket." It "was the first time in Mr. Pea- cock's career of hauling Christmas trees that he ever saw a bear. "I don't-know- what that bear in- tended to do, but I'm not going to atake another chance. Next year I'm going to take a gun along," he de- clared. Canada's Champion 1937 Cheesemaker J. M. Bain, of Britton, Ontario, Was Awarded 98.1 Points Out of 100 Canada's champion cheesemaker for 1937 is J. M. Bain of Britton, Perth County, Ontario, whose June white cheddar cheese was pronounced the top quality cheese at the Central On- tarlo Cheesemakers' Association I3xhi- bition which was held at Belleville from November 29 to December 1, and was thus awarded the H. T. Chisholm Trophy. The judges evaluated moro than 500 cheddars, and entries cama from every province of Canada, and from South Africa, New Zedland, Eng- land, and Australia. ¥$1,000 In Prizes The champion cheesg also gained first prize In June cheese, white or coloured, and was on display during the exhibition. The jrdges awarded it 98.1 points out of a possible 100, tho points being given for flavour, texture, closeness, color and finish. High marks were registered thronzhout the various exhibits, and fore than $1,000 in prizes was distributed among scores of other chcesemakers, The J. D. Leclair Challenge Trophy, open to Quebec Province oxhibitors, was won by Ijugene Lussier of Notro Dame des Bois, P.Q., with a white Oc- tober cheese, scoring 97.6 'points. The John H. Ecklin Memorial Cup for the highest scoring cheese from Central and astern Ontario went to J. II. Truelove of Westport, with a score of 97.9 points on a September colored cheese. The novice prize, open to new exhibitors, was won by Roy Welbanks of Milford, Ontario, with a score of 97.6 points on a September white cheese, There is nothing else in nature | ko the wings of an insect, The wings of a bird, or of a Lat, are merely made-over fore legs; flying fishes glide along on their fins, and flying squirrels glide by means of skin stretched between the fore and hind legs; but insects have wings or.gin- ally made for the purpose of flying.
