Gardening Notes •^'* Johnny Jump-Ups Johuiiy junip-ups, as the old- fashioned small-floweied violas of great-gland iiiothtM's garden were appropriately calleil. have jumped back into popular favor. Lilte so many other really satisfactory gar- den llowers. they were sacrificed on the altar of "big" flower worship. U is of interest, too, that the old- fashioned small-flowered pansies are again sought. One carefully selected strain, put out under the name of "Shakespeare's," is the true old-fashioned type. Sawed With Sock Cotton socks are being issued to prisoners in United States jails, because one prisoner man- ag:ed to saw through a one-inch iron bar with a yarn from a wool sock. It took him 7 hours to do it. -Although Kngland has fewer brewers than just before the World War their total profits have ri.sen from less than JS.OOO.OOO in 1013 to $142,.'>00,000 in 1937. LAWN SEEDING TIME More and more generally it is be- cocming recognized that the late summer â€" August 15 to September 15 â€" is the best time for seeding lawns. The grass grows vigorously until hard freezing weather, and such annual weeds as may start are killed off by the first frosts. Even better results are obtained when the area to be planted can be prepared a few weeks in ad- vance. This gives the soil a chance to settle under heavy rains, so that any uneven places may be regraded just before sowing. It also pro- vides a chance for any weed seeds in the soil to sprout. These are easily destroyed when the ground receives a final preparation for sowing the grass, which then can get off to a clean start, with the minimum competition from weeds. If lime is to be added to the soil, it can also be put in now; this is preferable to applying it just be- fore the grass seed is sown. SPINACH AND CABBAGE The home owner with a veget- able garden looks to early August as the time to sow spinach for a within a mouth or so. Most im- portant, however, is the sowing o£ Chinese cabbage which usually fails to head if sowu in spring. Sow the cabbage seeds thinly in the low where they will grow, be- cause they resent transplanting. Thin the seedlings when they be- gin to crowd one another, until the plants stand fifteen inches apart. They will make solid heads by late autumn and add to the menu a delicacy that has a flavor more mild aud plea.sant than ordinary cabbage. It also makes delicious slaw aud the leaves may be eaten raw like celery or lettuce. To Make Glass, Sand Is Needed Heat Cause* It To Run Into A Transparent Glaze â€" How Glass Was Discovered Well may we speak of the shift log sands, says a writer in the Children's Newspaper, for year by year the contours of the sandy des- erts change. In the Canary Is- lands are huge heaps of sand piled up by winds that have blown from the Sahara, and in Syria and Per- sia and Arabia the sands are for ever drifting over the ruins of anoi- ent cities. These hills and valleys are never still, and when a hurri- cane springs up and the sand flies before the storm men bury their heads aud crouch down with fear and trembling. But sand is useful. Without it we should be at a loss to know how to build our houses, and but for sand we might have no glass. Though e.icperts are not sure where glass-making began it is believed to have been in Egypt or Syria, both countries having abundant sand. It is possible that glass was ac- cidentally discovered by Phoenici- an merchants who did their cook- ing in tbe sand and found that heat caused it to run into a trans- parent gluxe. From that time to ihU aand has always been largely used In tbe manufacture of glass. Sand has lung been used for measuring time. We still have egg- boilers with their little lot of sand, and In the days before clocks were cheap the sand-glass, or hourglass, was always at band. Ancient Orig^in Of "Honeymoon" Among the northern nations of Europe, in ancient times, it was the custom for newly married couples to drink metheglin or mead (a kind of wine made from money ) for thirty days after marriage. .Antiquarian lore has it that from this custom the term "honey month," or "honeymoon" originated, says The Rocky Moun- tain Herald. Whether or not that is the origin of the word, it is known that in the days of mar- riage by capture the bridegroom remained in hiding with his bride until her kinsmen tired of the search for her. Later, when love entered mar- riage and elopements were fre- quent, the bride and bridegroom remained in hiding for a while. Both of these "hiding periods" seem to point to possible origins of the honeymoon trip. SwaUows Say It'll Be A Tough Winter It"s a long, touyrh winter we're heading for if swallows are to be trusted as meteorological prognosticators. When the swallows head for the south and warmer climates this early in the year weather prophets have no hesitancy in predicting an early and severe winter. .Already well on their way south this flock of swallows is creating a design against the sky on the telephone wires in North Carolina. What Science * Is Doing * Variable Freezing Point A scientist last week described water as a strange chemical com- bination which can stay liquid at temperatures far below its freez- ing point or freeze at tempera- tures several degrees above. Dr. Ernest Dorsey of the Unit- ed States Bureau of Standards said he has cooled water to si.x degrees below zero without having it turn into ice. This is 3S degrees below its "standard"' freezing point. Other investigators have found. he added, that under some air conditions ice forms on the wings of an airplane in flight even though the temperature is several degrees above freezing. Successful Respirator Mask A new type of respirator mask, tried out in planes flying in the sub-stratosphere, may some day serve as a substitute for oxygen tents now used in hospitals. Dropping out of the sky after a non-stop flight at Minneapolis last week with scientific data on o.xygen mask equipment expected to make an important contribution to medical science. For seven hours and 40 minutes the large transport plane of Northwest .\irlines has flown from Los .Angeles and â-  approximately one third of the time at an alti- tude of 31,000 feet in order to give the crew time to test the new masks. Deadly Germ Photographed Bringing with him what he described as the only photograph.^ ever made of the dread strepto- coccus germ. Dr. Herbert Rogers, resident pathologist of the North Middlesex Hospital of London, England, arrived on this continent last week to confer with Harvard medical authorities. Dr. Rogers said he discovered the germs ac- cidentally four months ago while examining the blood of a 30-year- old woman patient. .Although the germs were known to enter the blood stream of victims, he assert- ed, they very seldom have been located. Measure Cosmic Rays Maybe a cosmic ray doesn't mean much to you. Maybe you don't even know what it is. But over in Philadelphia, scientists are striving to fathom its myster- ies. Members of the Bartol Research Foundation have built a cylindrical iron tank, over 40 ft. high, and 10 ft. in diameter, to be used as a laboratory for experimental pur- poses. The bottom of the tank will be specially shielded from wireless waves â€" which disturb the cosmic ray â€" and the top of it will be filled with water, through which the cosmic rays will pass and be measured. Polio and Summer Flu It is possible that there is soma relationship between summer flu and infantile paralysis. Dr. B. T. McGhie, Deputy Minister of Health for Ontario, remarked last week. It appeared probable that many people might have the or- ganism, yet not develop any ap- pearance of paralysis, he said. New Nitrogen Form There is a mysterious light in the night sky, which does not come from the moon or stars. Dr. Joseph M. Kaplan, associate pro- fessor of physics, L'niversity of California, at Los Angeles, has been investigating this radiation and his studies have led to the di^fovery of a new form of nitro- gen. He secured pictures of its spec- trum which indicated the light came from electrically excited gases in the outer region of the atmosphere, but there were some lines in the spectrum that did not belong to known gases. Calcula- tions demonstrated that the lines photographed corresponded with those produced by nitrogen in atomic form. The known nitro- gen is a molecule made up of two nitrogen atoms. In the new form the nitrogen are single atoms. The \BOOK SHELFl By ELIZABETH EEDY "PRAY FOR THE WANDF.RER" By Kate O'Brien The soft, warm charm of the Irish countryside is evoked a.i a convincing background for this tale of the Costello family who live at Weir House in the Vale of Honey. The action of the .<tory is en- tirely in the minds and hearts of three people. Matt Costello comes back after many years in London, after winnitig fame and riches as novelist and playwright, after the raptures of a passionate love af- fair â€" and after its end. .A month of meetings with the cool, lovely, Tntelli.-rcnt Nell Mahonoy brings him the sudden hope of new life. What happens when he grasps at the hope, it is Miss O'Brfen's pre- rogative to tell. The swift de- nouement is .lurprisini:. "Pray For the Wanderer." by Kate O'Brien. 209 pp. Toronto: Doubifday, Doran and Company â€"$2.50. Set Me a Task Set me a task, that I may work to gain an inch of ground Along the path of progress, where the joys of life are found. Set me a task, that I may grow in strength of lessons learned; In pride and meekness let me be with clearer sight concerned. Set me a task, that I may give what has been given to me. And know that greatest works are done out of humility. Clarence (still bragging about himself to his girl at midnight) â€" "My boss says I have what he calls a lot of "get-up-and-get." Sally â€" Then why don't you? Recently there was a Negro baptizing in South Carolina. Af- ter one of the converts had been immersed he was asked if the wat- er was cold. "No, not a bit," said he. "Better put him under again, parson," advised a deacon, "he hasn't quit lying yet." A couple of rival, but friendly store-keepers were talking things over: First â€" "When does your open- ing sale close?" Second â€" "When your closing sale opens." A chairman is a man who spends 21 minutes and 16 seconds intro- ducing a man "who needs no in- troduction." Every one of us has a besetting sin. One of us is lazy. Another is too found of liquor. A third had rather starve than grasp unpleasant tasks. .Again you see a man or woman who gets nowhere because of ob- session always to do or to say the wrong thing. Occasionally he flies off the handle into senseless an- ger and undoes more than he ever can do. Finally, a lot of us, who think we are paragons, kill ourselves eating. .Anyhow, it set the boy to think- ing. Jerome (after Sunday SchooH â€" "Say, Dad. our lesson today told about the evil spirits entering the swine." Dad â€" "Yes, and what do you wish to know about that, son?" Jerome â€" "Was that the way they first got deviled ham?" READ IT OR NOT: â€" The planet Neptune is never visible to the naked eye. We doubt if it would be wise to test out your prospective son- in-law this way: The big business man, who had never been known to get the worst of a deal, leaned back in his chair. Big Business Man (leaning back in his chairl â€" "So you want to marry my daughter, eh? Well, tell me this. Could you lend me $1,000 at once, without security?" Young Man (standing by the fireside, losing no time in reply- ing) â€" "Yes, sir. I could â€" but I wouldn't." Big Business Man â€" "Good! Cer- tainly, you shall marry my Clarice. I'd trust her with any man who showed a spirit like that. Girls who used to get finger exercise on the piano are now content to get it fingering the dials on the radio. Dublin.

E. M. Joad. head of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology in Bir- beck College, University of London, at a teachers' summer school meet- ing in London, England. "Science has given us powers fit for gods, yet we bring to their use the mentality of schoolboy.s and savages." he said. "The symbol of this is the airplane. The greatest of man's inventions which never- theless threatens his civilization with destruction. "The superman made the air- plane but the ape lias got hold o£ It. Civilization Threatened "To step on foot throttles, insert coins into metal siots. scan head- lines, crowd throiigh clicking turn- stiles, turn on the radio, hurl our- selves over the surface of the earth In a mechanism propelled by gaso- line â€" these constitute the modern motion of entertainment. "Men of genius by the dozen, men of talent by the hundred la- bored in order that the radio might be. A miracle was performed, but with what result? ''Science, in short, has provided in abundance the means to the good life, but it has not taught us how to live." Jack Miner's Garden i :^^jkJR^H[ 'mSB 4 Jack -Min^r, famous naturalist of Kingsville. Ontario, has on.; of the largest flower gardens in the country -vhich is cared for bv Jack Miner himself. Photo shows him picking bouquets for his sick friends. Seaweed Wrapping Latest wonder from the labora- tory is an entirely new transpar- ent wrapping material made from seaweed. Chemists found that certain species of the weed when boiled set like a jelly. They e.x- primented further, and found that this jelly could be turned into thin, tough sheets. The secret is alginic acid â€" a substance half way between a sug- ar and a fat. toeing >-.n acid it re- acts on metals, ar.d so it can ba made to produce a variety of nat- ural colors from metallic salts. Greatest advantage of the new- material is that it is soluble in water. MINARD'S
