Home For Snakes BOMBAY. -- Active in health re- search of all kinds is the Haffkine Institute-of this city, which in recent years has performed such useful work as investigating the causes, incidence and remedies of bubonic plague. One of its departments is a "nursing home' for snakes, where at present there ° are about 40 specimens, including cob- ras, vipers, kraits and echis. There is a considerable export from India of snake venom. Cobra venom fs used in relieving acute pain from cancer and angina pectoris, and that of the viper has been found effective fn checking excessive hemorrhage. 'One problem the institute has to bat tle is the habit the cobra has devel oped of going on hunger strikes, When the proposed 'snake farm" in the in- stitute is established, the reptiles, un- der natural conditions, should have better appetites, and thrive and mul- tiply. This would relieve the trans- portation companies of the anxiety involved in bringing snakes from the jungle to the institute. Haffkine Institute from Waldemar Mordecai Iaffkine, distinguished bacterfologist, under the Indian Covernment, who died a got ils nanie few years ago. Claims Prior Right To British Crown King Anthony" Hall Says He Is Descended from Both Tudors And Plantagenets "Yes, T am King Anthony of Eng- land. Come in, sit down and I'll light the fire." This was the greeting given to a Journalist who went to a suburban home in London, England, td inter- wed, tall man named * Hall, who says from the Tudors and Plantagenets, and, incidentally, claims the crown of Ireland because his mother's name was "Eire," bases his claims on the following contentfons: James | a Changeling 1. He believes the tradition that James JI, King of England, was a changeling and was actually the son of the Earl of Madr. So the Act of Set- tlement, establishing Willlam of Or- ange on the throne of England, was invalid, for his claim was derived through his Stuart wite, Mary, and it Mary was a Mar, the claim collapses, 2, He claims that Henry VIII had a child by Anne Boleyn before he had. divorced Katharine of Aragon. This child, a son, he believes, was brought up by a farmer named Hall, in Sussex, and he can trace his ancestry directly to this son, known as John Hall. The 'son, he claims, did not dare claim the throne from Elizabeth when he came to manhood. He adduces the fact that Edward VI was never created Prince of Wales, No Barrier to Inheritance 3. He claims that illegitimacy is no barrier to Inheritance, as Willlam the Conqueror and Edward VII both had illegitimacy' in the blood, and Henry's claim wih Lancastrian, was admit- tedly through illegitimacy. Hall makes frequent public speeches to keep his claim to the throne alive.

Talk two min- utes to John McLeish, Director of Mines and Geology, Ottawa, and you will find that the big advance of now- adays Is in sulphur and nepheline syenite, says the Globe and Mail. Nepheline syenite is being shipped from Ontario for use in ceramics in the United States. Anhydrite is being shipped as fertilizer to England. The Algoma Steel Corporation is opening up the old Helen Mine for fron, and the big copper and silver mines aro going after the production of sulphur for use in the paper-making industry. "Great things have been done in these fields in Canada today and there are great things yet to be done," says John McLeish. Had Been Importing It He used sulphur as an illustration. Canada for years, he pointed out, {m- ported sulphur for paper manufactur- ing from Texas and Louisiana. And at the same time sulphur belching from the smokestacks of smelters towns in Northern Ontario and Brit- fsh Columbia, a Researchists went after the prob- lem.; At first they captured the sul- phur from the smokestacks in the form of sulphuric acid. Now they have captured it in its elemental form both from the smoke and from pyrites. The Aldermac Mines, Noranda, was now 3 ITCH «ss STOPPED IN A MINUTE...

Ioward Ferguson was guest | the directors, reviewing the found ample cause for con- } on, they stated, that the Fair, cae ane ats 17th year, gives abundant proof of a freshness and vigor to as- sure its permanence, and that public recognition of the annual service ft performs within the national agricul- tural scheme continues to grow in ever-widening importance. The last Fair was notab'e for exten- sion in several departinents and for consolidation of established lines of work in other departments. One of. the most significant developments was the expansfon to twice their previous glze of exhibits of Seed and Grain. There is no doubt, the report adds, that with more suitable graln-growing seasons the Show at the Royal Winter Fair will attadm truly nattonal Import- | ance. : I Signs of Healthy Growth Expansions also were made in the Women's Exhibits and in the Dog Bhow, as also in the local and historic exhibits of rural activities, and a new activity was the revival of the Silver Fox and Mink Show. In fact, the steady improvement noted for geveral years past was carried forward with- out abatement in overy department in 1937. ] The growing number of American live stock owners who exhibit proves the 'confidence it has established, notably in the Royal Horse Show and in the cattle divisions. The directors look upon this feature as one of the best signs for the healthy growih in their institution in the coming decade. The financial statement shows a small but satisfactory surplus for the past year, Want Orthopedic Service Started About 400 Infantile Paralysis Vic- tims In Ontario Still Need Supervision Establishment of a generalized or- thopedtic service throughout Ontario for the prevention of child deformi- ties was advocated last week by Miss Gretta Ross, supervisor of nurses for the Society for Crippled Children, in addressing the annual meeting at To- ronto.

Auto Radio Warns Of Nearing Train New Invention Causes It To Blare A Warning of Approaching Danger A red light will flash on the dash- bord and the auto vadio will blare a wire ag of (raing approaching grade crersings with a new radio invention described last week at Gary, Indiana. Designed to work in autos that are within the danger zone when a train approaches a crossing, the device sig- nals the auto dashboard at. the same time that it starts the usual crossing lights and bells, The device. Clausing. one of its in- ventors, explained, cousists of a small radio transmitter placed at grade crossings and actuated by approaching trains as are warning bells and gates. A wire is strung from the transmitter to a distance of about one-quarter mile along the road on both sides of the crossing. - Picks Up Waves Waves emanating from the wire within a 100-foot radius are picked up by a mechanism installed in auto radio receiving sets. The pickup in the auto radlo can be set to operate at varying distances from a crossing. 1t operates only when a train is ap- proaching. Even if the auto radio is playing music, the warning signal will drown out the harmony, said its in- ventors. Installation of the red warn- Ing light on the dashboard can he op- tional. ' The pickup, it was sald, could be bullt into radio sets for from $3 to $4, and the crossings transmitters could be installed for small cost. COUGHS Take half a teaspoonful of Minard's in molasses.

"KING OF PAIN" LINIMENT Issue No. 14---'38 Insect Could Not Travel That Fast Scientist Devotes Time to De ++ bumking Deerfly Speed of 800 Miles An Hour The speed of the Deeérfly--which scientists "have called the fastest thing alive--was reduced from its 800-mile-an-hour record to a mere 26 in experiments announced in Seci- ence by Dr. Irving Langmuir, Dr. Langmuir went into his New York laboratory and made imitation deerflies which flew with precision equal to that of his chemical experi- ments which won him the $50,000 Nobel Prize. He calculated mathe- matically what would happen with a deerfly at 800 miles an hour and the effect was teriffic. Terrific Wind Pressure The wind pressure against the fly, he found, would be eight pounds a square inch, probably enough to crush the insect. It would take one- half horsepower a second for the fly to keep up the speed. The fly would have to burn up 1% times his own weight every second to produce the cnergy needed, And, if a deerfly flying 800 miles an hour, kit a human being in the face, the fly would penetrate deeply into the flesh. Eagle Keeps Record With these mathematics out of the way, Dr. Langmuir swung imitation deerflies on the dnds of threads at "4 ore.

Michael Dwyer, Nova Scotia's Minister of Mines, told = annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, meeting at To. - ronto, "It is with considerable appreciation that your president finds it possible to record now, an observation that would net have heen possible a few Years ago. that ig, the growing aware- ness by mining engineers of that lin. bility known as depletion," Mr. Dwyer said. Mining More Low Grade In mine after mine, he sald, it was found that the leaner ore was belng stopped and the richer ore conserved, By this policy ore reserves had been Increased by millions of tons. At the same time 'mining companies had maintained dividend payments and cusured longer continuity of produc- tion and employment. "Notwithstanding the increase in the price of the gold ounce, which would permit larger profits from high grade ore, more and more low grade _ ore is being mined," he said. Exploration Limited; The questioh of depletion. was jm- portant because Canada's mineral re- sources were not boundless. Mining engineers recognized the fact that geographical limitations of explor:2'ion were very definite, Phenomenal growth and prosperity of the industry in Canada was due to the intensive exploitation of the na- tion's immense mineral resources and if this prosperity was to be maintained "we must not only take stock of our known ore bodies, but increase the facilities for prospecting and geolog- ical exploration, encourage the search for new deposits and strive for ways and means of extending the lite of our present mines."
