It has recently 'been realized that|- 'the nature and abundance of this lite | n the ovement of food -fishes, Sspectally CA co-operation of survey ships, trawlers, and merchant vessels, efforts are now being made to study foo plankton areas exhaustively. A markable contrivance, now under- soln Jie special tests if the North Sea, can- collect a complete record of the plankton 'met with in the coursg of a 400-mile journey. The appliance re- semble 'a large kodak film, the two spools being towed behind the ship. A film of gauze slowly unwinds off one 8pool and packs itself on the other, which is continuously exposed. The exposed portion is automatic- ally treated with formalin as it re- volves upon the drum. Back in the laboratory an investigator has only to pass the used negative of a "con- tinuous plankton recorder,' 'as the ap- aratus 18 called, beneath his circo- cope to appreciate the wealth or poverty of infant herring food in any given area at a particular time of the year. FP bas an important bearing upo . Schooling of Fish The recently issued Annual Report of the Marine Biological Association contains an account of the experi- ments made by Mr. G. M. Spooner on the "schooling" behavior of fish. The species chosen for observation was the sea bass. It was desired to as- certain the behavior of individual fishes, and experiments with mirrors proved that members of & school re- act to their own reflections, sight be- ing apparently the main, if not the sole, factor which keeps a school to- gether. A long series of midnight observa- * tions made at the Zoo aquarium eluci- dated the fact that fish which normal ly «travel in well-compacted shoals split up during the period of rest, keeping close to the tank floor, every fish separated from its neighbours and facing a different point of the com- pass. A brilliant light cast suddenly upon the fish at once united the shoal, which "fell in" with almost military promptitude. Bird's Curiosity Naturalists are constantly deploring " the devastating effect of progress as applied to the wild, and regard the machine as the greatest enemy of Na- ture. The animals themselves some- times take a different view of the situation, as was amusingly demon- strated recently on two islands, Santa Rosa and Don Martin, off the coast of Peru. These islands have for cen- turies been the chosen resorts of a species of cormorant, whose vast de- posits of guano caused it to be rigor- ously protected. Lately, however, caterpillar tractors were introduced to clear the guano, and the birds, so far from being scared, evinced such curiosity that work was rendered almost impossible and the "time saving" machine was forced to move at a snail's pace in the midst of a trimphant procession. Mice Under Light Many people we know turn day in- to night, and vice versa, either for pleasure or work, Dr. M, S. Johnson, of the University of Minnesota, has discovered that if a mouse is kept in the dark by day and in the light by night it reverses the natural rhythm of its life. The mice in the experi- ments were put in cages hung on rub- ber bands and so connected with the recording apparatus that any activity on the "mouse front" was at once set down. By turning on the light at night the mice had sixteen hours' wakefulness, and slept for eight hours during the day time. As the result of prolonged training, the mice, when they returned to normal conditions, kept to their new way of life. meine ---- World League to Assist Bolivia's Health Service _Geneva.--Public Health Commis- sioner Bilbao of Bolivia has complet 'ed arrangements for the League of Nation's collaboration in the reorgan- i of Bolivia's public health ser- v While Bolivia's general plan of pub- lie, health reorganization covers six differe.t points, it is only on three that the league has been asked to lend th co-operation of its technical ser- Vises ; Bi ea: designed "0 form the nu- eleus of a public health service; serra. athay. of the Siapuiion > Slt' in vian tropical and su rons third, the participa- 'of Bolivia's re- sources as 0 So cinchona, . . a Bolivian plan for the reorgan- on of fits 'health service includes ther points--the creation of a Gh on 'health service, the reor-! ganization of the Bolivian hospitals Smit of service of epidemiological and information. % t will like you, teol made by the makers of Kraft Cheese and Kraft Salad Dressing The best of women make mistakes, @ For a rarebit at I but it's too bad that ¥e 'husbands a ante Signo * sisip ol LEE 0 ¥ "5 should be required to eat them, Al & =a of a 'unch- ache 88 hich, whole ra. statistician says that we have enough ; Fe # ~~. .0|coml:tgilast 7,000 years.

Yet, approximately, 15 to 20 per cent. of the value of diamonds mined yearly are of industrial use. They are at times called "indus- trial diamonds," and so named be- cause v.' some flaw of color or consti- 'ution that prevented their being cut and polisked for decorative use. Some of these stones are used as cutters and polishers of more precious diamorcs. The "industrial diamond" is changed to powder form and mixed with olive oil. Jt is then smeared upon a soft iron disc revolving at 2,600 revolutions per minute. The diamond to be cut and polished is 'aid and weighted down and the wearing action of the diamond dust eventually creates a gleaming facet upon it. By means of diamond draw-plates or dies, all types of metal, including the tungsten filament of the clectric lamp, can ie drawn finer than human hair. Mining engineers employ the diamong, drill.
