To Make Glass, Sand Is Needed Heat Causes It To Run Into A Transparent Glazeâ€"How Glass Was Discovered Well may we speak of the shift- ing sands, says a writer in the Children’s Newspaper, for year by year the contours of the sandy des- erts change. In the Canary Is- lands are huge heaps of sand piled up by winds that have blown from the Sahara, and in Syria, and Per- sia and Arabia the sands are for ever drifting over the ruins of anci- ent cities. These hills and valleys are never still, and when a hurri- cane springs up and the sand flies before the storm men bury their heads and crouch down with fear end trembling. . But sand is useful. Without it we should be at :a loss to know hovi to build our houses, and but for sand we might have no glass. Though experts are not sure where glass-making began it is believed to have been in Egypt or Syria, both countries having abundant sand. It is possible that glass was ac- cidentally discovered by Phoenici- an merchants who did their cook- ing in the sand and found that heat caused it to run into a trans- parent glaze. From that time to this sand has always been largely used in the manufacture of glass. Sand has long been used for measuring time. We still have egg- boilers with their little lot of sand, and in the days before clocks were cheap the sand-glass, or hour-glass, was always at hand. Fishy Money Codfish was the currency used to pay for the new 7,287-ton lux- ury motor vessel “Vega”. The Vessel was built at Trieste. Nor- way had a surplus of codfish, which Italy was only too pleased to take in exchange for the ship. Germany’s tax receipts for the last fiscal year were 12 per cent, shove the preceding 12 months.

Variable Freezing Point A scientist last week described water as a strange chemical com- bination which can stay liquid at temperatures far below its freez- ing point or freeze at tempera- tures several degrees above. Dr. Ernest Dorsey of the Unit- ed States Bureau of Standards said" he has,, cooled water to six degrees below zero without having it turn into ice. This is 38 degrees below its “standard” freezing point. Other investigators have found, he added, that under some air conditions ice forms on the wings of an airplane in flight even though the temperature is several degrees above freezing. Successful Respirator Mask A new type of respirator mask, tried out in planes flying in the sub-stratosphere, may some day serve as a substitute for oxygen tents now used in hospitals. Dropping out of the sky after a non-stop flight at Minneapolis last week with scientific data on oxygen mask equipment expected to make an important contribution to medical science. For seven hours and 40 minutes the large transport plane of Northwest Airlines has flown from Los Angeles and approximately one third of the time at an alti- tude of 31,000 feet in order to give the crew time to test the new masks." Deadly Germ Photographed Bringing with him what he described as the Only photographs ever made of the dread strepto- coccus germ, Dr. Herbert Rogers, resident pathologist of the North Middlesex Hospital of London, England, arrived on this continent last week to confer with Harvard medical authorities. Dr. Rogers said he discovered the . germs ac- cidentally four months ago while examining the blood of a 30-year- old woman patient. Although the germs were known to enter the blood stream of victims, he assert- ed, they very Seldom have been located. Measure Cosmic Rays Maybe a cosmic ray doesn’t n:iean much to you. Maybe you don’t even know what it is. But ov'er in Philadelphia, scientists a, e striving to fathom its myster- ies. Members of the Bartol Research Foundation have built a cylindrical iron tank, over 40 ft. high, and 10 ft. in diameter, to be used as a laboratory for experimental pur- poses. The bottom of the tank will be specially shielded from wireless wavesâ€"which disturb the cosmic rayâ€"and the top of it will be filled with water, through which the cosmic rays will pass and be measured. Polio and Summer Flu It is possible that there is some relationship between summer flu and infantile paralysis, Dr. B. T. MeGhie, Deputy1 Minister of Health for Ontario, remarked last week. It appeared probable that many people might have the or- ganism, yet not develop any ap- pearance of paralysis, he said. New Nitrogen Form There is a mysterious light in the night sky, which does not come from the moon or stars. Dr. Joseph M. Kaplan, associate pro- fessor of physics, University of California, at Los Angeles, has been investigating this radiation and his studies have led to the discovery of a new form of nitro- gen. He secured pictures of its spec- trum which indicated the light came from electrically excited gases in the outer region of the atmosphere, but there were some lines in the spectrum that did not belong to known gases. Calcula- tions demonstrated that the lines photographed corresponded with those produced by nitrogen in atomic form. The known nitro- gen is a molecule made up of two nitrogen atoms. In the new form the nitrogen are single atoms. Gardening Notes LAWN SEEDING TIME More and more generally it is be- coming recognized that the late summerâ€"August 15 to September 15â€"is the best time for seeding lawns. The grass grows vigorously until hard freezing weather, and such annual weeds as may start are killed off by the first frosts. Even better results are obtained when the area to be planted can be prepared a few weeks in ad- vance. This gives the soil a chance to settle under heavy rains, so that any uneven places may be regraded just before sowing, it also pro- vides a chance for any weed seeds in the soil to sprout. These are easily destroyed when the ground receives a final preparation for sowing the grass, which then can get off t.o a clean start, with the minimum competition from weeds. If lime is to be added to the soil, it can also be put in now; this Js preferable to applying it just be- fore' the grass seed is sown. SPINACH AND CABBAGE The home owner with a veget- able garden looks to early August as the time to sow spinach for a within" a month or so. Most im- portant, however, is the sowing of Chinese cabbage which usually fails to head if sown in spring. Sow the cabbage seeds thinly in the row where they will grow, be- cause they resent transplanting. Thin the seedlings when they be- gin to crowd one another, until the plants stand fifteen inches apart. They will make solid heads by late autumn and add to the menu a delicacy that lias a flavor more mild and pleasant than ordinary cabbage. It also makes delicious slaw and the leaves may be eaten raw like celery or lettuce. Johnny Jump-Ups Johnny jump-ups, as the old- fashioned small-flowered violas .of great-grandmother’s garden were appropriately called, have jumped back into popular favor. Like so many other really, satisfactory gar- den flowers, they were sacrificed on the altar of “big" flower worship. It is of interest, too, that the old- fashioned small-flowered pansies are again sought. One carefully selected strain, put out under the name of "Shakespeare’s," ’ is the true old-fashioned type. Dublin, Ireland, will invite the world t» its dramatic festival in August Set Me a Task Set me a task, that I may work to gain an inch of ground Along the path of progress, where the joys of life are found. Set me a task, that I may grow in strength of lessons learned; In pride and meekness let me be with clearer sight concerned. Set me a task, that I may give what has been given to me, And know that greatest works are done out of humility. Clarence (still bragging about himself to his g-irl at midnight) â€" “My boss says I have what he calls a lot of “get-up-and-get.” Sallyâ€"Then why don’t you? Recently there was a Negro baptizing" in South Carolina. Af- ter one of the converts had been immersed he was asked if the wat- er was cold. “No, not a bit,” said he. “Better put him under again, parson,” advised a deacon, “he hasn’t quit lying yet.” A couple of rival, but friendly store-keepers were talking things over: Firstâ€"“When does your open- â-  ing sale close?” Secondâ€"“When your closing sale opens.” A chairman is a man who spends 21 minutes and 16 seconds intro- ducing a man “who needs no in- troduction.” Every one of us has a besetting sin. One of us is lazy. Another is'too found of liquor. A third had rather starve than grasp unpleasant tasks. Again you see a man or woman who gets nowhere because of ob- session always to do or to say the wrong" thing.; Occasionally he flies off the handle! into senseless an- ger and undoes more than he ever can do. Finally, a lot of us, who think we are paragons, kill ourselves eating. Anyhow, it set the boy to think- ing.

Cer- tainly, you shall marry my Clarice, I’d trust her with any mail who showed a spirit like that.

The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY “PRAY FOR THE WANDERER” By Kate O'Brien The soft, warm charm of the Irish countryside is evoked as a convincing background for this tale of the Costello family who live at Weir House in the Vale of Honey. The action of the story is en- tirely in the minds and hearts of three people. Matt Costello comes back after many years in London, after winning fame and riches as novelist and playwright, after the raptures of a passionate love af- fairâ€"and after its end. A month of meetings with the cool, lovely, intelligent Nell Mahoney brings him the sudden hope of new life. What happens when he grasps at the hope, it is Miss. O’Brien’s pre- rogative to tell. The swift de- nouement is surprising. “Pray For the Wanderer,” by Kate O’Brien. 209 pp. Toronto: Doubleday, Doran and Company â€"$2.50.
