In one version described in the patent, the apparatus consists of a lamp sending a beam outward and a hooded telescope to receive any of its light reflected back. Both are rotated slowly back and forth across the area to be surveyed. If the weather is clear, nothing is re- flected back. Fog or smoke, how- ever, returns enough light on the character emitted by the lamp to trigger the fog-horn. The inventors are John W. de L. Nichols of Godalming, and Mich- ael H. Westbrook of Crayford, Dartford, England. SAULT STE. MARIE -- A bullet smashed a window in a coach of an Algoma Central Railway ex- cursion train narrowly missing Mrs. A. J. Curran and her father, A. D. Howe, both of the Soo. The bullet was believed to have come from a hunter's gun. The coach was filled with passengers but no one was injured. The inci- dent happened about .15 miles north of here. ST. THOMAS -- Funeral servic- es 'should take place at church rather that at a funeral home, Rev. Denys G. S. Scorer, rector of St. Hilda's Anglican Church, said in a newsletter to his parish- ioners. "The custom has grown strong in Canada for the burial service to be held in a funeral home; but this is not the intention of the prayer book," he said. "There are reasons why this custom grew up in the past, but few of them hold good today except in remote parts of the country." The new Canadian prayer book Says that "unless there be special cause to the contrary, tthe first part of the service shall take place in the church." VANCOUVER -- Residents of hearby Maple Ridge are going to jail by the dozens. They are there to take evening vocational training courses offered inside the Hanley Correctional In- stitute. The novel idea was put into effect by the Maple Ridge school board and institute officials. The institution's instructors con- duct the courses, ranging from machineshop work to fancy cook- ing. WINNIPEG -- World-renowned Canadian pianist Glenn Gould dropped into a _ senior citizens home here during a concert visit. Wearing heavy woollen gloves to protect his hands, Mr. Gould apologized ito résident Ben Feakes for not shaking hands. "I'm a pianist,' he explained. "That's fine,"? said Mr. Feakes. "T play the mouth organ and I'm not going to kiss you." ' HOUSTON, Tex. -- William Po- ten, 19, said he managed to es- Cape a sheriff's posse for 27 hours because me made friends with the blocd-hounds sent after him. Poten said one of the blood- hounds became so attached to him that he refused to leave and Poten had to lock him in a cabin in the woods. He managed to soothe the others so they wouldn't bay and give away his hiding place. . But, Poten's luck ran out. posse captured him. The It's not true that if a worm is cut into small pieces each piece will become a new worm. If a worm is cut in half the front end will grow a new tail. So will 'the other end -- a new tail for the old tail -- but having no mouth, the thing starves to death. NIAGARA FALLS -- Unusually strong winds and high water forc- ed the operators of Niagara Falls' Maid of the Mist pleasure craft to haul the second boat from the Niagara River, cutting a month off the regular season. The two vessels take tourists be- neath the falls. Low water in the river made the removal of one of the pleasure crafts necessary last week. LONDON -- The most famous -- and probably the most frequently undressed -- blonde in Britain has retired after 26 years in the public eye. She's planning to get married. Her name: Jane. She was a character in a comic strip in the tabloid Daily Mirror. A glamorous, leggy pin-up who never aged a day during those 26 years, she became the sweetheart of fight- ing men in the Second World War. She was known as the Queen of the Strips -- as much for the number of times she lost most of her clothes as anything else. There was a wartime rumor that the day that Jane. appeared completely nude, the Allies would invade oc- cupied Europe: Sure enough on June 6, 1944, Jane appeared with- out a stitch on. After 26 years of waiting for her boy friend, George, to propose, Jane popped .the question herself in the strip's last appearance and bowed out of the paper to head for the altar. Why? All the Mirror would say of the strip, turned out by a series of artists over the years, was: '"'Jane is -being honorably retired. The Mirror has pried into her private life long enough."' WELLINGTON -- A young New Zealand scientist believes he has hit upon the solution to a puzzle baffling scientists for a long time --how apparently barren soil some- times supports flourishing vegeta- tion. The mystery arose in New Zea- land when agricultural experts found that some stretches on coast- al sheep stations produced grass enough to support more sheep than would have been expected from soil conditions. Dr. A. T: Wilson, a scientist at the Nuclear Sciences Institute at Gracefield, now believes such soil is fertilized into productivity by 'rich nitrogenous substances car- ried on rain or wind. from the sur- face of the sea. He believes that nitrogen -- in chemical form, not as a gas, is being distributed on the land at the rate of. several pounds an acre annually. WINNIPEG -- Are nurses frus- trated because of the illusion that they are Florence Nightingales, ministering angels and mother sub- stitutes? Montreal management consult- ant Clark Middleton Hope says they are. He told hospital administrators at a meeting here that the image nurses have of 'themselves event- ually frustrates them and often ends when they quit or switch their type of work. "Nurses are confused as to their role and function,' he said. "This has serious implications. A wide discrepancy exists between what the nurse conceives her role to be and the demands made on her as a full-time nurse. TORONTO -- Over a police ra- dio dispatcher came the orders: speed to a suburban York Town- According to a report re- leased last week by the Ontario Department of Mines regard- ing the shipments of cobalt and silver ore made via the Temiskaming Testing Labora- tories at Cobalt, by companies in the Cobalt-Gowganda area, for the third quarter of 1959 the gross weight of concen- trates shipped totalled 875,421 pounds.

Mysterious Balloon Ocean depths are almost as much a mystery to man as outer space, but the bathysphere is now being used to find out what goes on as far as two miles below the surface. - ship house where a snake has been reported under a bed. Cruisers from all directions con- verged on the house. When the of- ficers arrived, they saw police Constable George Fast leaving the residence. Between his thumb and first finger he held a four-inch dew worm. The hunting season_is not too old and stories hunters are not bragging about are stanting to make their rounds. Carl White, who a couple of weeks ago drag- ged himself on his stomach through a quarter of a mile of water in the fields before finally bagging a couple of Canada geese, found the weather last week-end so much to his dislike last Friday that he never left camp, leaving Frank Miller, et al to do the hunting. Carl said that he didn't figure moose would be moving in that kind of weather and he wasn't going to either. Coming out on Sunday they had to break ice on the creek for quite a distance before they could get their boats under power. The story is told of three hunt- ers who were flown to a spot north of Kapuskasing for a three day hunt with the understanding that their pilot would pick them up on Tuesday. The pilot thought the boys had said Thursday and didn't show up until, that day. They had bagged a couple of moose by the time they were supposed to be picked up, but when the plane didn't arrive until Thursday -- they had gone out and got anoth- er. Grub was sufficient to last the three days and the final two, so the report goes, the boys had moose stew three times.a day. Eddie Swartz who spends his working hours waiting for the fire alarm to go, along with Elzie Mor- row and Norm Whittle hunting in the Elk Lake area bagged a moose last Thursday. They had it in the locker by early afternoon and were | on their way back again. Constable Bill Blackburn and some relatives from Renfrew bag- ged an old bull last week. Bill says the meat is so tough that it would make good shoe leather. Probably is was so old that-it couldn't. move very fast. Arnold Connelly was Wee: trying last week for his winter's meat. Arnold didn't go too far from | town -- just dropped in to the auc- tion sale at Temiskaming Sales Arena. The story goes. that under Auctioneer Tom Lowry, a kind of "wild"? cow was in the pen being sold and was creating quite a scene. They were selligg it, but had removed it from fore the sale was © : had brought in the ne animal } nice young steer. Arnold liked Ae ( look of it and topped the bid Tom had, only to find that he had bought the old cow. (Anybody want any bologna). Incidentally Arnold said that he only lost 60¢ on the deal as he shipped it to Toronto with some cattle Len Wil- son had bought but the critter wouldn't eat and lost about 45 pounds on the way down "or I would have had a profit," said Arnold. Chas. Adams, formerly of New Liskeard had tougher luck in the hunting. Charlie and party were goose hunting in the James Bay area, and last year, using a guide, figured they had learned the area, This year they didn't take one. Moving to a spot about thirty miles from camp, so the story goes, they pulled their boat as far up on shore as possible and tied it. The tide came in. The boat was completely submerged and lost was their movie camera and film, the motor was dunked and | wouldn't start. Undaunted the boys started back rowing or paddling. Finally an Indian is reported to have come to their rescue and rigged them a sale, and with its help, and not saying how long -- they finally made their head- quarters a little the wiser. The tide __ in James Bay is reported to rise about ten feet.
