"We dote upon this world as charge of an experiment 'conducted at the station of the Biological which bas not many fish may lack sufficient food for them, and by .add-| _ Ing fertilizer the substances needed | by the plants are put in and. as a result, the latter increase greatly in| numbers until finally all the life, in. cluding the fish, which are most de- sirable, is increased." In the St. Andrew's experiment the addition of only a single pound of herring meal to a thousand gallons of water was sufficient to make the pond so fertile that it produced nearly a hundred times as many plant growths as developed in a similar quantity of unfertilized wa- ter. : In making his tests Mr, Smith used two small concrete ponds' on the station property. From the one source he fed a thousand gallons of 'water into each pond. To one lot of water he added a pound of dried and ground herring waste from a sardine cannery, but nothing was placed in the second pond except the water. "The effect of the one pound of herring meal wag remarkable," says Mr. Smith's report, "as could be seen by following through the sum. mer the difference in the plant and animal life between the fertilized add unfertilized ponds. It showed well that those substances which the plants needed for their growth in the natural water as to limit, their growth as well ag that of the animals which require the plants for food. Nearly one hundred times as many plants were found in the fertilized pond as in the unfertiliz- ed. In this way increased growth of fish food either in hatchery ponds or natural ponds and lakes may be brought about. , .

He is Kristoffer Lynge, a sturdy Greenlander, 37 years old, who lives at Godthaabe on the west coast. His newspaper is Atuagagdliutit, or Freely Distributed Reading--so-called because the cost of printing and distributing its 3,600 copies is borne by the Danish Government. Editor Lynge's newspaper is pub- Mshed once a month, despite the pro- tests of Eskimos, who complain that they cannot possibly read a whole is- sue in so short a time. Its foreign news comes by radio; its Greenland news is sent to Godthaab by local cor- respondents in all the tiny settlements along the coast. The paper is set np by linotype by the light of blubber oil lamps, and distributed by dog teams and kayaks to readers living within 900 miles of the North Pole. -- 9 2,000 Billion-year Rocks Found in Manitoba Ottawa.--Standard time consisting of eons, eras, sub-eras and periods is the aim of the National Committee on Stratigraphical Iomenclature, Dr. F.

They contain a translation into French of the voyages of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, said to be the first® white man to cross the comtinent of North Ameri ca, and they bear the Inscription, "Napoleon's Copy From St. Helena," and the stamp of the imperial eagle. The stoty is that Napoleon order- ed this translation of Mackenzie's voyages that he might be supplied with information to aid him ir a pro- jected attack on British North America from the Pacific Coast. It was a fantastic scheme, of course, as apparently the Emperor learned when he read of Sir Alexander's adven- tures in exploring the sub-Arctic and crossing the Rockies. Through some unexplained means Which are the easier ~ to Here's a cunning suit for the sma'l| smartly through slashed openings at handle, 'weak hands or strong hands? Most players probably will reply that strong hands are easier to bid and to play and that is probably true. Weak hands, as a rule, offer more problems than the strong ones, but the latter fr ly hard to handle, The writer was watching a new Club member playing the other day and, as dealer, he passed a very strong hand. When asked why he did so, he replied: "The hand was so big, I didn't know what to do with it." This is not an uncommon fault, so learn to be as careful in bidding .and playing the strong hands as you are with the weak ones, Tn the play, particularly, one is Diamonds--6 No scoré, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one club. What should A now bid with the foregoing hand? : A's proper bid at either Auction or Contract is undoubtedly a double of Z's one club, At one table, A doubled and Y bid four clubs. This was a good bid, for it prevented A and B from bidding. It also forced A to guess as to the proper lead. He led the ace of hearts and then the ace of spades. As a result, Z made five-odd at clubs. At table No. 2, A bid one no trump, which Y doubled. B was on the job, however, and took A out of the double by bidding two diamonds. Z was now in a difficult position. He knew that A must have spade strength to war- rant his no trump bid, but saw no ARTICLE No. 26 Spades--K, 9, Z dealt and passed. A bid one heart, Y passed, B bid one no trump and Z and A passed. Y bid two diamonds, B passed and Z bid two spades, What should A now do with the foregoing hand? At one' table A doubled two spades. On the bidding it is a certainty that B has strength in spades and yet there is not a sure game in no trump. There- fore. A should play the certainty and double two spades rather than bid two no trump. By opening the king of hearts, he should defeat Z by three tricks. At the second table, the bidding of this hand was entirely different. Auction Bidding Z passed, A bid one heart, Y passed, B bid one no trump and all passed. The writer thinks Y should have bid two diamonds. This hand could not stand any other lead and yet was strong enough to warrant a bid of two diamonds for the lead. As his partner hadn't bid, Z opened hig fourth-best spade, which B won with the ten. He then led a low club and finessed the Jack. The only way he could get his hand into take agother club finesse was by playing either the ace of dia- band; but remember that bad habits re hard to break. You may lose a trick or so on a big hand and still 80 game but, if you are just as care- less on the next hand, the trick you lose may prevent you from going game. The only way to become a good Auction or Contract player is to play every hand, strong or weak, for the maximum, Concentration on what you are doing will win more rub- bers for you than any other one thing. The following bapds were played in a recent duplicate tournament and the bidding showed a wide diversity of opinion. The hands of all four players are given, so that you will thus have an opportunity of comparing your apt to become careless with a big analysis with the actual results. Hand No.1 Hearts--K, J, 6, 5, 4 Clubs--A, 8, 2 Diamonds--A, J, & 4 Spades--4 Armen -- Hearts--9, 2 Hearts--A, 10, §, 3 2 Y : Clubs--5, 4 Clubs--9, 7, 8 : A B: Diamonds--Q, 9, 7, 5, 3, 2 Diamonds--K, 10 : z ¥ Spades--10, 7, 3 Spades--A, Q, J, 8 res i Hearts--Q, 7 Clubs--K, Q, J, 10, 6 6 5 2 isfied with the two-spade bid and Y was forced to bid two no trump or three hearts. He elected to bid the two no trump because it seemed a safer bid than three hearts. He just made the bid so falled to make game, a big loss compared with table No. 1. This hand 18 a good illustration of winning by bad bidding. The proper bid with A's hand is a double of one club. The bid of one no trump is very faulty. The only reason A B at table No. 2 gained by the bid was because the player of A's hand at table No. 1 made a bad opening. With a trump opening, the proper one on the bid- ding, Y Z can only make three odd in clubs. It is an ideal hand for that opening. Note that the lead of the ace of hearts, followed by the ace of other way to give his partner addi- spades, gives Declarer game.

He didn't care to do either, so led a low diamond in the hope that Y would not cover. He then intended to play the eight and throw the lead into Z's hand. Y made a big mistake by net play- ing his ten of diamonds so, when B played the eight, it held the trick, much to his surprise. From then on, he had little difficulty in making a grand slam by forcing Z to discard either spades or hearts and thus set up winning cards in either A's or B's hand. Work it out for practice. If Y had played the ten of diamonds, B could still have made a little slam by allowing Y to hold the trick. No mat- ter what he leads, B can win the trick, set up his clubs and forces Z to discard so that he must allow A B to win four | Americans, We admire their restraint. i n ty from which I suffered from a child.
