The results of analytical tests on such water are not yet known. If they p:-ove favorable, the farming problfn'.s of Arabs and Jews In Pal- estine may be greatly reduced. What Science * Is Doin3 * British Engineers Have Bored DoMoi Into Jordan Valley's Arid Land and Found Oases. The arid desert of Palestine has yielded water in abundance. This amazing news was brought by Brit- ish Government engineers who bor- ed the parched Negeb Desert â€" and struck water in profuse streams. If this water is found on analysis to be pure, it will be used for NINE-DAY CHICK CROWS Transformation of a baby chi^:k into a synthetic rooster with a robust crow in a period of nine days was accomplished in experi- ments announced at Leland Stan- ford University, Palo, Alto, Calif. Dr. Calvin P. Stone, psychology professor, said the chick was in- jected daily with a synthetic male hormone substance that effected precocity and developed the crow, a mature comb and a strut.

EVERGREEN PLANTING Taking: everything into consid- eration, late -August or early Sep- tember is the best time to trans- plant coniferous (cone-bearins) evergreens. While spring trans- planting at the time new growth begins is feasible, the plants oft- en suffer due to the fact that new slow-growing roots are not abun- dant enough to supply the mois- ture demand of the new top growth. Fall planting docs not in- cur these consequences, for very little or no top growth is formed at this season, while the roots are particularly active. This gives the roots a good chance to become thoroughly established by the time heavy demands are made upon them to support new growing tips. The e.xception to this rule is hemlocks, which do best if trans- planted in the spring. Late fall planting always is followed by a high mortality rate, as under this condition the plants enter the freezing periods of the year with- out new roots having a chance to develop and become thoroughly settled in their new position. Warm Soil Stimulates Roots Karly autumn planting, further- more, has the advantage of fall- ing iiTto a period when the soil still is quite warm and this factor as well as an abundance of soil moisture stimulates vigorous root action. Under no circumstances should the plants be placed in dry, hot soil, and excavation of the planting hole should take place shortly after an abundant rain. DROUGHT RESISTANT Truly drought-resistant plants always are welcome in regions where summer is sure to be hot and dry. While there are many good plants that have this tiuality, several species of Rudbeckia ac- tually seem to flourish under such conditions. Perhaps the most showy of them is Rudbeckia bi- color superba, a hardy annual of easiest culture with flowers that measure up to three inches in diameter. St. Elmo's Fire On Great Lakes COLDFRAME HELPS BIENNIALS The time has arrived to think St. Elmo's fire, a rarity on Lake Ontario, struck the Rochester- bound yacht Vision some 12 hours out of Toronto, one day last week. To the amazement of the crew of Ave aboard the ship, the bluish flames ran up and down the shrouds, the mast and yard arms. One member of the crew, thinking the ship afire, attempted to extin- guish the apparent blaze with a fire extinguisher, the skipper re- ported. Only the lee side. Skipper Wood- born Thompson said, was without the unusual electrical display nam- ed after St, Elmo, patron saint of sailors. Of a flamelike appearance, St. Elmo's Are or light is seen usually only In stormy weather. More fre- quent in the tropics, it is of the nature of a brush discharge of elec- tricity, reddish when positive, blu- ish when negative. SEARCH FOR "SNIFF-METER" Invention of a "sniff-mf'ter" still baffles the best inventive genius of the world, it was dis- closed at McGill University, Mont- real, last week. Science has accomplished mar- vels in the acjurate measurement of most things which register on \ the various human senses, but it still cannot produce anything which measnres smells. The detection and elimination of odors constitutes a practical prob- lem. For instance, in schools, it is found necessary to circulate some 30 cubic feet of air per student through classrooms though all that is necessary to eliminate carbon dioxide antl supply ade- quate oxygen is four cubic feet. iiig, are reported to have discov- ered a new physiological fact in their study of artificial respiration for drowning persons. The Health League of Canada announces that an article in the September issue of the Journal of the Canadian Medical .Association states that in a large proportion of drowning ca.scs a laryngeal spasm develops which prevents air getting into the lunsts even with artificial respiration. It has already been observed in post-moitem examination of drowned persons that frequently no water was found in the lungs, the article states. The explana- tion of this fact was learned to be the action of the body's nor- may protective machinery which prevents access of water or food to the lungs during swallowing. In cases of drowning the same mechanism was said to operate and may persist as a spasm after the victim has been taken from the water. Thus' artificial respir- ation is rendered ineffective. Jack JUner, the Kiugsville bird lover, says "The !io|,c for the bcLtcrment of this v.-orld is more love and the right kind of education." He always practises what he preaches. This photo shows him, in the centre of group, with children which the Kingsville Lions Club brought to his home for their annual picnic. of sowing seed of some of the (luicker-growing biennials such as Sweet-Williams, English Daisy (Bellis) and Forget-me-nots (My- osotis). The coUiframe is a most useful adjunct to give the plants special care, since regular water- ing and shading are essential to develop a satisfactory stand of sturdy seedlings. GERMAN SUPER-MICROSCOPE Magnifi.ation up to 30.000 times is made possible by a new super microscope invented by two Gco- man scientists, according to re- ports from Berlin. The inventors, Dr. Eodo von Berries and Dr. Ernst Rurka, utilize electron rays having a 100,000 voltage current in their instrument. INSECTS COLOR-MINDED Insects are attracted by lights, but have preferences in colors.' If lights of a variety of colors are exposed at night, insects oJ par- ticular kinds will be found in greatest numbers flitting around the light which has the greatest color appeal for them. General Electric engineers observing the new sodium lights installed on a bridge at Clinton, Iowa, noted that the shad flies of that neigh- borhood did not like the brilliant pure yellow of the sodium lamps nearly so well as the almost white and equally brilliant incandescent lamps used on the bridgehead. The insects were recently found piled six inches deep under the incan- descent lamps, but only one inch deep under the sodium lamps. The red end of the spectrum is much less attractive to insects than the blue end. Insects apparently have a wider range of vision than hu- man beings, as they appear to see the ultra-violet light, which is in- visible to us but to which many insects are strongly attracted.

But "story" is an inade- quate word. Larry Nixon gives his readers much more than the story of the freighter .ship's acquisition of passenger accom- modations and growth in passen- ger popularity; he gives them pre- cisely the information they need if they want to go vagabond voy- aging themselves; and he makes them want to. The list of freight- er routes and lines covers eighty- one pages at the back of his book, and in addition there are "real" freight ships which definitely do not take passengers. The book deals, however, not with these freight ships which are freight ships only, but with those which do carry passengers, for a moderate price and in acceptable comfort. It's a matey way of trav- eling. It's leisurely. It's simple, of course. But most freighters are well kept, many of them are new; they go to interesting places, they have no inside rooms â€" Oh, there's a lot to be said for freighter trav- el. Larry Nixon says it clearly, attractively and sensibly, in an in- viting and practical book. "Vagabond Voyaging." by La'.ry Nixon. Illustrated. 314 vp. To- ronto: McClelland & Stewart, $2.50.
