This "weck they are feeling very happy over a catch of four lunge, the largest of which weighed 22 pounds. Two others weighed 13 pounds each, and the smallest six pounds. In addition they brought home three pickerel and nine pike. The catch was made trolling between Tubb's Island and McDon- ald's Island. The lunge put up a very neat fight, says the two fishermen.

Awaiting Action Port Hope.--Early in 1929, the re- sidents of Hope street north of the former Canadian . National station, petitioned the Town Council for a cement walk extending approximate- ly 100 yards from Helm street to the buildings now occupied by the Dept. of Highways. 'People of that section are awaiting action by the Council and the assurance of that body to look after the matter. The cinder walk, or what is left of it, is in very bad condition, with numerous roots of trees protruding on the path." If sonic pedestrian trips and meets with any broken limbs, probably a dam- age action will bring the promised re- sults. * Ld LJ Picture Being Made Pcterboro.--A motion piéture port- raying what is offered by the Trent Waterway by hunting? fishing, boat- ine, swimming and other recreatonal features is being made by the Trent Waterway Association for purposes of exhibition in the spring of 1930. It will be the first picture made deal- ing strictly with the Kawartha's around Peterborough and will be the first of a serics covering the numer- ous districts on .the waterway.

MAKE GASOLINE New Method Demonstrated to United States' Chem- ical Society Minncapolis, Minn., Sept. 12.--A new way of making gasoline and oil by clectricity was exhibited to the United States Chemical Society to- day. , The discovery is the work of two University of Minnesota chemists, Prof, S. C. Lind and Dr, George Glocker. Simply by switching an electrical current through "wild gas" that escapes from oil wells they con- vert it into gasoline or oil. The new process gets away from the use of fire or heat, herctofore an alniost universal need of manufacturing. The electrified gas has the same temper- ature as that of the room in which it is worked. TWENTY WAYS TO MAKE A MILLION An automobile that goes side- wise as well as forward and baci- ward' will make its inventor a mil- lionaire. And according to Roger Babson, the industrial statistician, who writes in "The Forum," the device will come within twenty- five years. The machine will pro- bably have its cylinders arranged in a circle and its exhaust will empty on the roof The sidewise motion will be a convenience in parking. And here are nineteen other ways to become rich via the invention rout, Mr. Babson's "For- um' suggestions are summarized thus in the New York "Sun." A Diesel engine for automobiles that will use crude oil, which is far cheaper than gasoline, not hav- ing to go through any refining process. He prophesies its appear- ance. The man who does it first will make more than a million. A practical and fool-proof heli- copter--that is, a device that will lift an airplaine directly off the earth and do away with the need for starting and landing fields, enabling the aviator to light on city building roofs or the decks of ships without difficulty. A light that will pierce fog, something greatly needed in the, field of air navigation, Until this is discovered Babson holds com- niercial aviation will be dangerous. Gliders for children, Babson pre- dicts that these will be, sometime, as plenty as toy wagons and bicyc- les and "little boys and girls will fly around their yards as safely as they now play in their sand piles." New sources of power -- from the sun, the tides and the heat of the earth. These are the big sources remaining to be tapped, A new electrical development ex- ploiting the short wave lengths. Fireless cities, Babson would | have some man get rich by sending | hat to houses direct from mines ni generating gources close to pow- rr sites, Told light which will do away ith 95 per cent. of the electric current no wwasted on resistance 0 create the glow.

With a view to bringing togeth- | er the experts of the research | world, Sir Arnold said that the project would involve the erection of a structure costing £350,000, where organizations dealing with | chemistry--including rubber TH ing, metalurgy ana fuel -- could centralize their activities. A suit- ible site in Westminister, London, was being chosen. A library of 100,000 volumes is proposed, Sir Arnold characterizéd the pro- ject as 'a great scheme that had been passed unanimously by the councils of all the societies con- cerned." The presentation of the society's gold medal to Sir Richard Threil- fall was a feature of the closing proceedings of the annual meeting. The medal is awarded each year to the natural scientist whose work in the opinion of the council, is of the greatest merit, Sir Richard has successfully de- veloped many inventions and has done important work in connection with the use of helium in airships and with instruments for detecting the presence of explesives in gases, Honorary degrees of Doctor of Science were conferred on the re- tiring president of the society, Dr. Arthur D, Little of Cambridge, Mass., and Francis Howard Carr, a former president, by the Univer- sity of Manchester, LOBSTER SHORTAGE BOOSTS PRICES Portland, Me.--Bad geining, we ther and a resultant lack of bat has caused a shortage of lobsters! which has sent prices soaring, Nore mally the shipment of live lobsters from Portland reaches its peak at about this season of the year, but/ at the present time the market is at a standstill, The shortage had reached an acute stage with no prospect of relief in sight, accord- ing to dealers, until the closed sea- son in Nova Scotia and New Bruns. wick ends. At about the same time, around Sept. 15, lobsters will be coming in from the vicinity of Mon- hegan Island, The shortage of bait has forced lobstermen to bait thelr traps with swordfish bones and napes and left-overs from the sar- dine factories, but results have been far from satisfactory, International heat waves are ane other thing for the diplomats to de something about.--Buffalo Courier.
