The Cameroon has tered sloank Yoke hid PIES Trypanosomiasts, or sleeping sick- ness, made its appearance as a specific disease in 1901 throughout southeast- ern German Africa, the French and Belgian Congos and the Cameroon. It was found algo in West French Africa, on the Gold Coast, in Nigeria and the Togo. A German mission, which went to Africa in 1913, made the first attempt to combat the mysterious malady sys- tematically. The World War, however, interrupted the work and little was done until 1916, when French scien- tists, alarmed at the spread of the dis- ease, resumed the experiments left off by the Germans. It was not until 1922, however, that the work was properly organized and sufficient personnel and backing were available. Under the leading scientist, Dr, Jamot, a study of the malady was undertaken in French Equatorial Afri- ca. At the end of 1931 sleeping sick- ness was virtually under control in the entire region. t 8 o - Do you with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good. --Wm.

This high- velocity air stream will be a valu able by-product of England's newest airplane wind tunnel, Its purpose will be to test rifie bullets and larger projectiles after the manner of lab- oratory experiments on heavier-than- alr planes, The British National Physical Lab- oratory has just completed experi- ments on this new compressed air tunnel.

It is hoped also to improve the range of 'a bul- let or shell by studies of different designs, Scientists have long had equations for predicting the amount of "drift" for various wind velocities, This "drift" is allowed for when aiming the gun outside of actual gunfire these equations have never been given real tests, 'The speeds invol- ved are too high. 'With the new tunnel, and its 700- mile-an-hour wind, the velocities be- gin to become comparable with the muzzle velocity of a bullet. In the new project it seems possible to avoid real gunfire trials and let the air rush by the shell instead of the projectile rushing through the air, To measure the "drift" on a bullet 11t will only be necessary to turn the stationary bullet at some small angle with the wind stream, Plans call for the suspension of the projectile in | the tunnel with automatic electric instruments attached which will tell the effect of Wind forces.

As early as 1742 attempts were made to measure the "drag" of alr on projectiles. The ballistic pendulum was devised in this era and gave scientists a way of determining the velocity of impact, Hutton, in 1776, improved on these experiments and found that the drag increased great- ly for speeds over 1,100 feet a second. All such tests * necessitate actual gun fire. France, in 1917, began ex- periments on projectiles mounted in wind-tunnels with the air moving by them rapidly, © Their work was a forerunner of the contemplated Ted- dington tests. Similar experiments have been made in England and America before this, but never on the magnitude of the latest project. The compressed air for the Eng- lish experiments is available because {* has been found, in wind-tunnel tests on airplane models, that to give comparable results the air should be twenty times as dense as normal. These wind-tunnel tests for models, then, are carred out at twenty at- mospheres' pressure with swift-mov- ing propellers blowing the dense air at the airplane model. nt A -- SS "I took them to be a theatrical couple."
