What Science * Is Doing * . SLEEPING SICKNESS CURE Edwin Moore, of Drummer township, near Peterborough, Ont., left hospital last week apparently cured of a.n attack of sleeping sickness. Credit for his recovery was, given vitamin treatments ad- ministered by Dr. J. C. Smith, of Lake fie id. Moore, who contracted the dis- ease August 29, was removed to hospital and Dr. Smith began ad- ministering injections of synthetic Vitamin B-l. In a short time, he said, the patient who had sunk into a coma began to rally. VOICE- FOR THE DUMB A new talking device which takes the place of the human voice when the vocal cords refuse to function, was described before the Toronto Kiwanis Club last week by Dean T. Smith, of Los Angeles, Supervisor of Public Activities for the Southern California Telephone Company. A tube placed in the throat en- ables a husky or voiceless man to speak by the movement of his lips and Mr. Smith instanced this, as one of the many advancements now being made by telephony. THYROID- AND "SIXTH SENSE” New evidence of the existence of a sixth sense, ps in clairvoyance and mind reading, is being exam- ined by savants at McGill Univer- sity who have been interested in experiments carried out at Duke University in the United States. The latest sensational evidence indicates that there is a tie-up between the thyroid gland and the existence of the sixth sense. When this gland does not pro- duce sufficient secretion, ordinary- ily indicated by dullness and lack of activity on the part of the in- dividual, it has been found in two notable eases at least that there is an extra activity of the sub- conscious mind. RUBBER BAND “SNAPS” A rubber band snapping’ back from the stretched' state attains an extremely high velocity. Its speed has been clocked by ultra high- speed photography and has been found to be 204 miles an hour, sixtes Dr. Guatavus J. Esseleri, chemical consultant, in whose Bos- ton laboratories the measurements were made. COME FROM MILKY WAY Dr, Arthur H. Compton, Univer- sity of Chicago physicist, believes that he has found the answer to one of the major mysteries of the scientific worldâ€"the point of ori- gin of cosmic rays. “The question was whether cos- mic rays come from the milky way in our galaxy or from some point beyond the -galaxy,” he said at Vancouver last week, “The indi- cations are that they come from the milky way.” Canada’s Honey Worth $2,198,408 Ontario is normally the chief source of honey production in Can- ada, Last year, however, owing to an unusually low yield in that pro- vince, Manitoba came first. Total honey production for the Dominion was low, but theto: were increases over the previous year in four pro- vinces. Canada is on an export basis on the honey' trade, hut im- ports have been rising lately. An increasing trade has also been de- veloped in package bees. The total produ 'lion of honey in Canada last year was 21,733,200 pounds, valued at $2,198,400. The output was unusually large in .1936 at 28,233,800 pounds, having a value of $2,861,700. In 1935 production amounted to 24,291,000 pounds, and. in 1933 to 22,915,800 pounds. The number of hives last year was 391,- 300, compared with 370,000 in 1936; 358,700 in 1935, and 335,700 in 1933. Cockroach Smuggler County jailer at Amarillo (Tex- as) was puzzled. Solitary confine- ment man was getting his cigar- ettes daily. . . . He found that a large and well-trained cockroach â€"a cigarette tied to its backâ€" was making regular deliveries un- der the doors of the cell. In three weeks more than 4,000 men applied for admission to the British Royal Air Force as pilots or other positions. Classified Advertising A G ENTS W A NT Ï5D ODOURLKSS TOILETS ATTENTION!

LIMITED “APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH” M ILD,COOL AND SLOW-BURNING By Agatha Christie When in doubt, read Agatha Christie. You’ll find “Appointment With Death” one of this author’s slickest, with Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian snoop, in top form; naturally, he’s run across a murder while doing Jerusalem, Petra, An- num and parts adjacent. And there’s no use concealing the fact that the" corpse is old Mrs. Boynton, a fright- ful American woman touring the world with five members of her bullied and frightened family; she’s described by one of the characters as “a distorted old Buddhaâ€"a gross spider in the center of a web” and that’s too good for her. Suspects in- clude Raymond Boynton, a stepson overheard saying ‘‘You see, don’t yon, that she’s got to be killed?” (Hercule heard him say it one night at the Solomon Hotel.) Also Miss Sarah King, a medical young wo- man with whom Raymond is in love, and half a dozen other rela- tives and bystanders. . . . This seems to be the sea- son for whopping tall solutions; at and rate, Mrs. Christie springs a fiend you aren’t likely to guess. Which is all right with us. We like to bo surprised. •‘Appointment With Death”, By Agatha Christie . . . 301 pp, „ . . 1 Toronto: Dodd, Mead and Company . . . $2.
