What is known, though, about: "hurricanes is this: ) . Those that occasionally visit the United States form in two major regions, the southeastern part of the North Auantic, south of and near the Cape Verde Is- lands, and the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The average one lives nine days, though in August some have be known to last 12 The hurricane's cloudless core, or eye, is from five to 20 miles across. The area of destructive . winds along the path of the hur- ricane may bé from 25 to 500 miles wide, with winds; of more than 150 miles an hour and gusts - of even higher speeds. . The storm may move forward slowly 'and sometimes--as" did Hurricane Connie--stay still for a short time. In the tropics -- where many. a hurricane dies unobserved -- the speed forward is usually 15° miles an hour or less. a As the storm - moves north- ward, the speed .may increase to 50 miles an hour or more, The hurrican siderably more" céniplex matter than its Raich Ng Meteorolo- . gists like "to explain as much as they know about it in terms of convergences and divergen- ces. What this amounts to is that intersections of .wind and air prbssures "bring about a drain- ing of air from areas aloft, creat- ing a fall of pressure in the -column immediately beneath. Warm 'moist air from the sur- face rushes toward the low-pres- sure area, and the effects of the" earth's rotation and converging winds create the whirling mass . that forms the outer rim of the doughnut-like storm. Apparently we are having more numerous and more costly hurricanes. One and a half times as many storms are spotted each year now as at the turn of the century, though the total of 21 observed 'in 1933 has not been topped in recent years. 'And while on an average only two hurricanes reach the- na- {4 FISH, FLESH, FOWL--Tony Baird, takes on attributes of the finny ~ and feathered world when he's at play.

Moreover, while property damage last 'year topped by $500,000 ,000 the old 1938- record loss of $300,000,000, the resulting loss of life has dropped. The fury' of the. 'hurricanes last: year brought death to an estimated 200,compared with 6,000. deaths in Galveston in 1900 and 1,800 deaths in Florida in 1928. The fact that more electronic eyes have been hunting down hurricanes explains in part why more are observed. ; Moreover, an improved warn- ing system is an important rea- son why the number of deaths has decreased in recent years. And in explaining the increase in property damage, officials" point to the unexpected shift in the storms, at. least last year, to industrialized areas of the north- east states and Ontario, writes Alvin Shuster in The New York ~ year, there "Times Service. This shift has led some ex- perts to theorize that possibly a. new pattern in hurricanes is shaping up. Under the old pattern the hur- ricane, as it started up the At- lantic coast, encounteked the prevailing westerlies moving across the United States from west to east. These winds tended to push the hurricane out into the Atlantic. The coastal areas were spared. In recent years, - though, -me-~ teorogists have noted a pileup of air -- a high-pressure area, they call it -- in the Atlantic _off Maine and Newfoundland. This area, they think, may be .. acting as a hurricane roadblock, deflecting storms from their former course and sending them inland over the United States. From past experience, meteor- ologists figure that only five or . 10 hurricanes a century would be expected to hit New England. Yet last year alone two of them -- Carol and Edna -- pounded the six-state region. A third, Hazel, went west of New England and on up to Canada in a remarkable display of in- dependence. No one knows when the area of high pressure is expected to. leave its present home. Some guess-it'may be just about ready to fold up its clouds and silently steal away. . As long as it remains, though, there is the possibility of more ~-- extraordinary hurricanes for the Middle Atlantic and New Eng- land coastal areas. """ There have been no ideas ad- vanced on how to get this unin- vited neighbor to move. But there have been some ideas on how to minimize the effects of the hurricanes. One proposal for trying to switch the tracks on a fast-mov- ing swirling air mass involves oil saturation of the ocean be- neath it. Hurricanes die when they _travel over land, partly because the landscape hinders the free flow of winds. The oil slick would be a kind of false land- scape, intended to slow up some of the air currents that may be influential in deciding the hur- ricane's forward movement. Another idea involves an ef- fort to dissipate the hurricane's rain-carrying clouds, thus rob- bing it of the moisture needed to keep the storm going. Planes would fly aloft and' bombard the storm with dry ice and more dry ice in an ef- fort to prevent rain. 'The rainmaker tries to intro-., duce just enough particles to collect sufficient moisture to fall to the ground. To break up a hurricane, the theory goes, the cloud-seeder would introduce so many artifi- cial particles that no single one could get enough moisture to fall.

So with this in mind, the main expends in one minute more trate on locating a potential hur- ricane, mapping its expected path, and keching the public ad- vised. How Good Is That Memory of Yours? How good is your memory? Research by American scientists over a long period suggests that the memory of the average man and woman all over the world is improving and is likely to go on doing so The reasons for this are hard Memory is a most complicated business. We all find it easier to remember the things we find interesting than those that don't appeal to us. Some people have a "seeing" memory, others a "hearing" memory. The power of memory, however, varies widely in differ- ent people and so does the ability to use it. - Very often a man who has a wonderful memory for faces, names and mathematics, has no memory at all for tunes and finds it impossible to learn a _ foreign language. Some experts say that on the whole women have better mem- ories than men, but usually find it harder to forget things they don't want to remember. It re- quires a greater effort to erase something from the mind than to memorize it. No idea that has ever been in the mind can ever be entirely "forgotten, we are told. Like the elephant, man never forgets. But illness can interfere with the efficiency-iof our memories and boredom"and tiredness often pre- vent a man or woman recalling a name or an event. We've all said at one time or another, "It's on the tip of my tongue, but for the life of me I can't remember it . Your memory can be your best it needs constant exercise. A good detectivé says that after five minutes in any room he shuts his eyes 'and can call to mind every detail there. Try it -- and sce how difficult it is!

The stork birth-rate, especial- ly in Denmark, Holland and Germahy, has declined alarm-. ingly. And the storks' own care- lessness in flying into overhead cables, plus insecticides and "shooting (by irate fathers?), are said to be the reasons. Nests which were normally filled with baby storks in early May were sadly empty this year. Some decline was noticed in Denmark last year when it was stated that in two seasons - only about 200 pairs of storks had nested there. This was about a tenth' of the number which nested in Denmark sixty-five years ago when the first stork census took place. One other possible cause of the smaller number of stork babies, - Professor Hans Johansen, of Copenhagen, has suggested, "is that Western Europe's climate has become more moist, damp harms - the little storks which thrive better in the drier climate of Eastern Europe, where their numbers have been creasing. Storks nest high, and in Den- mark telegraph poles are some- times erected specially for them so that they can build homes. At Tarm, Denmark, 'telephone en- gineers added a pole extension and table after some. storks had built a nest among the /phone wires.

The upper section of the mechanism uses lights to show the dollar price. A centre in, five cent graduations. ~of the dial. turning hand ticks off the cents Revol- ving counter-clockwise, the cents hand makes a complete revolu-- tion in about six seconds. Speed of the eents hand can be stepped up or slowed down. The lower section of the calf bid receiver shows in lights the registered number of the buyer after a sale has been made. Seats for fifty buyers are }%ovided in a small amphitheatre. When the machine reaches the figure he wishes to pay, the buyer presses a button in front of him. The clock is automatically stopped and the buyer's number flashes on the bottom. section of the dial. The mechanism is so rigged that af- ter a buyer touches his button, the buttons of other buyers are disconnected. As a protection to the seer," the commission agent retains command of the sale throughout. He instructs. the clerk operating the dial where to start and when the price has dropped to- the figdre the commission man feels the animal should bring, he can 4 stop the sale if no buyer shows * interest up to that time. Stopped sale animals are driven from the ring to be brought back at a later time. Let's witness "an actual sale made through the sales ring on a recent trading day. The animal is driven into the ring. After examination, the commission salesman instructs the operator to start the machine at $24.00 per cyt. The figure flashes in lights on the upper face of the ° dial. The centre arm, represen- ing first 95¢ (offering price $23.- drop counter-clockwise register- ing Irst 95¢ (offering price $23.- 95 per cwt.) and moving: down in units of five cents. No buyer presses his button and -the cents indicator reaches zero, at which time - the lighted figure at the top of the machine changes to 22 and the cents hand drops to 95. As this hand reaches the half- way mark, a buyer presses his button. t-Instantly the machine stops and the buyer's number lights up on the lower section The sale price of $22.50 is clearly shown on the machine. Details of the sale are entered by the clerk and the calf is driven to the weigh scale. to be weighed. When buyers and sellers' agents become more fa- miliar with the new system, it is believed sales will be made in a matter of seconds. The new method of receiving bids at the Toronto Stock Yards, makes it possible for every in- terested buyer to see_each ani- mal offered at the market, and "assures that the buyer willing to NOTHING TO CROWN ABOUT -- "Ellsworth", a tame crow, is recuperating from an experience thats strictly for the birds.

Be- cause they believe that storks bear good luck and cause fami- lies on whose premises they nest not only to prosper, but to mul- tiply so that sons and daughters will be born to help parents in their old age. Housetops in the ancient city of Strasbourg have been the homes of storks from time im- memorial. One householder has a .cart-wheel on his rooftop where the same pair of storks nest every year, The birds add twigs every season and some- times such old nests are two' or more feet high. Storks are silent birds, hissing angry or clapping teir beaks when excited. They often live to the age of thirty or forty years, ~ pay the most wiJl be the pur- 'chaser, Average prices {hrough the ring on the first day of opera- tion, - Wednesday, August 10th, were $1.00 to $1.50 per cwt, above the previous day's sales. After its first test, buyers and sellers alike expressed satisfaction with the operation of the dial method and many predicted greatly in- creased receipls to the Stock Yards. The change in method of re- ceiving bids in the calf pen is an attempt to provide a service to producers in offering _ their veal calves automatically {o the maximum number. of buyers and to publicly determine a price on each draft offered. The sale of a large volume of veal calves in a Public Market affords buyers in all towns and 'Wave "to the stainless 889 Queen St \E, Sea Breezes Average depth of the sea is about two miles.
