There were no elephants in either North or South America in the time of Leif Ericson or Christopher Columbus. Long, long ago, wild elephants of several kinds roamed over our continent, but the last of them seem to have died thousands of years ago. We know about them only because of the skeletons which have been found here and there. The largest animals on our continent when men from Europe first explored *it were buffaloes, Kodiak beats, grizzly bears, polar bears, moose and elks. The animals named did not exist in South America. Instead of them, the southern continent had such beasts as taftfrs; armadillos, anteaters, Hamas and alpacas--not to speak of monkeys The fiercest of ill South American animals was--and is--the jaguar. This big cat ranks third in size among the members of the cat family. Only the lion and the tiger are larger. The average length of a full-grown jaguar is about feet. Now and then, however, a jaguar from seven to eight feet is found. The 3gures given include the length of the tail. A jaguar is spotted, and in this way is like an African leopard. The vpots are black on a brown or yellowish coat. Perching on the limb of a tree, the jaguar waits to pounpe on its prey. It attacks and kills deer, tapirs and monkeys. Its food also includes birds, turtles and fish. Synthetic Rubber Maf ' Be Desirable Substitute When discussion turns toward the part of rubber in national defense, the question frequently arises of the availability of synthetic rubber and how they can replace or supplement natural rubber. Present-day trends in the rubber industry, as a whole, can serve as a basis for estimating what will be done with synthetics in the near future. In 1940, the consumption of crude rubber in the United States was approximately 615,000 long tons, a rise of some 5 per cent over 1939. In 1939, there were consumed 1,700 long tons of synthetic rubbers of all kinds, a figure which was stepped up to an estimated 3,400 long tons in 1940. The present outlook indicates that about 050,000 long tons of rubber will be required to fill orders during 1941; of this total there is a probability that 9,000 to 10,000 long tons will be taken care of by synthetics. - - Manufacturers of synthetics are naturally secretive about future plans; enough information is available, however, to venture an estimate that by the end of 1941 they will be in a position to .produce on a basis of 90,000 long tons annually. Much depends, of course, on a rumored RFC loan of $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 to be applied to synthetic rubber manufacture. Whale OB Most people think of the Moby Dick era as the heyday of whaling, but whaling did .not actually reach slaughterhouse efficiency with floating factories and motor launch harpoon-gunning until the Twentieth century. In the three centuries from 100 to 1990 the average whale catch was about 3,000 a year. In the 1981-38 season 54,664 whales (yielding 615,500 tons of oil) were taken, the greatest number in history. Writing ip Science recently Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy observed that during the 1938-38 season a record kill may again have been perpetrated, but there were so many ships in the field, especially in the Antarctic, that preliminary reports indicate a very .poor season in yield per ship. ' Whale oil, unfortunately for whales, is especially valuable in war. 'PhStof A food way to treat the whole house to an uplifting "facial" is to think of the work or job as fine, healthful exercise. Many women spend several dollars in a steam bath, or perhaps in a gymnasium or other reducing parlors, when they can have similar results in their homes--for nothing. Thus, do the upstairs one morning, turning mattresses, shaking bedding and then mopping up the floors with a good suds-and-soap solution, using a long-handled mop, if you wish, or going to it in what the gymnasts call the "bear position"-- that is, on all fours--there's nothing like that humble posture for contracting the abdominal muscles and giving the figure desired by all women. . MIte r thousands of experiments. Dr. Foster Dee Snell, prolific Brooklyn industrial chemist, and Co-Worker Dr. Samuel Sidqey Epstein announced production of a successful antiseptic paint -- for children's rooms, breweries and bakeries, hospitals, food factories. They mix their paint with chlorine and iodine. After nine weeks on the wall it still kills typhoid and some other germs in the air, retains some antiseptic strength for six years.
