Watson, of Detroit, who.se radio typewriter is used on mocem battleships thro'ig'jout the world, claims he has invented a steam power unit that would drive airplanes across the country on a quart of water. The device he terms a "cold coil" generator "results in instan- taneous transformation of water Into steam." By condensing the steam and using it over and over, he hopes to operate e^ e.. airplane engines without a boiler. FOR STORING BLOOD A dehydrating machine which will permit the safe storage of huge quantities of powdered blood for transfusions is being experi- mented with. Chief problem of "canned"' or storage blood for emergency in- jection into patients' veins has been its preservation. Costly re- frigeration and elaborate te:h- nique is involved.

Canada is the "logical" place of first attack by a nation making war on the British Kuipire, Major P. A. Todd of Ottawa, OfBcer Commanding the 51st .ield Bat- tery of the Royal Canadian Artil- lery, de'-lared in an address at Ottawa last week. If any European country tried to force its will on England, the firs' thing it would do would be to cut off her supplies and Can- ada, as a main source of supply, ^would be a logical point of attack, declared Major Todd, who said he was speaking as a private individ- ual and not as a military repre- sentative. Nowadays war was no. declared and there was nothing to prevent an enemy nation from sending a number of ships oi. a "goodwill" visit to Canadian water, so that they would be "within our own borders" when that nation decid- ed to strike. An airplane carrier has fifty planes and "these planes could at- tack the centres of Canadian in- dustry in three hours and would not give us time to get assistance from the United States or Eng- land," he said. The most that could be expected of anti-aircraft defense was that bombers could be brought down after they had done their work. Explorer Finds New Territory Lincoln Ellsworth Comes Upon 80,000 Square Miles of Land In Antarctic Never Before Seen By Human Eye. Lincoln Ellsworth, leader of a fonrth Antarctic expedition, said in a dispatch from the motor ship Wyart Earp to the N'orth Ameri- can Newspaper Alliixnce that "80,- 000 squares of country never seen before by human eye has been added today to the known area of tha world's surface." Ellsworth said he had claimed the area for the United States. He told how he flew south from the fringe of the Antarctic to a point "from where I could see to Lat. 74 :30 S. from my position on Long. 79 E. and 1 could see at least 150 miles on each side of the plane." He said that "although snow- covered today, the area I saw in my flight of discovery might in some years hence become snow- free ind disclose rich mineral de- posits for, on the coast, exposed surfaces show much evidence of mineralization." Two Canadians are aviators for the Ellsworth expedition. They the L. H. Lymburner and T. R. Trevice. Four-In-One Egg A millionaire's breakfast â€" a 7% OS. 4-yolked egg â€" has been laid by a young White Leghorn at an Aberfoyle, Scotland, poultry farm. It is believed to constitute a world record.
