MEDICAL--LIVE STOCK Sanctuary As National Park Jack Miner's Place at Kingsville Is Both Haven for Birds and Beautiful Parkland By Lance Connery Far better known for his cham- pionship of the principles of wild life conservation, Jack Miner is nevertheless a keen student of tree and plant 1ifé. Proof ofthis i$ seen at his Bird sanctuary in Kingsville, where the roadside leading to his estate is lined with literally thous- ands of-gorgeous blooms, Yes, the naturalist has spent nearly as much time on trees and flowers as he has on his feathered visitors. Perhaps one of the choic- est Iris beds in North America may be seen at his home, grown through the years from bulbs donated by an admirer of the naturalist. Flowers and Birds Few gardens on the continent are made up of flowers gathered from such a wide range of climate and territory. Practically every state of the Union and every Canadian province is represented. And- this floral beauty is in no way commercialized. Many a sick frlend has enjoyed a magnificent bouquet of breath-takimg beauty, hardly realizing that the finest blooms in. North America were his. The naturalist has clear-cut views on flowers as gifts. Give flow- ers to the living, not neglect them for the dead, he counsels, "At a recent birthday celebration, Jack Miner told reporters he would have no desire to live, but for children, flowers, birds and music. And he meant it. What Science x ls Doing * SWOLLEN UDDER -- GARGET -- Lang's Mineral excells unything obtainable for Swollen Udder, Gar- get, Bleeding Teats, Ringworm, cr Scratches on horses' feet.

Huntsman, of the Uni- versity of Toronto, says-'in the current issue of 'Science' that fish out of water do not die of suffocation but of over-exertion. Chemical examination of the "muscles of the fish in their normal state and when exhausted after a struggle show that the fish after a struggle have used all the glyco- gen, a sugarlike fuel substance, in their bodies and have changed it to lactic acid, which is like chemi- cal ashes in the metabolic pro- cesses. i The lactic acid reduces the oxy- gen carrying capacity of the blood. This results, Dr. Huntsman said, in the asphyxiation of the cells of the nervous system, produéing ir- reversible changes from which the fish cannot recover. Speech Formation Until recently there were two schools of thought concerning 'the - problem of speech production; one held that- the sounds came 'ftom the vocal cords and are modified by the resonances of the cavities 'fn the throat, nose and mouth; the other held that the vocal cords supplied the puffs of air which that grows wild on the were converted into speech sounds by the cavities. A step to- ward solving this problem has been taken at the Bell Telephone labor- atories, New York, where Dr. J. C. Steinberg and D. W. Farns- worth have photographed the vocal cords, using a motion picture camera, taking 4,000 pictures a second. The pictures showed that although the vocal-cord tone is dependent to some extent on the particular sound spoken, the prin- «cipal characteristics of the sound "are determined by the resonant action of the cavities of the throat and mouth, " Test For Cancer A diagnosti¢ test for cancer, which uses Congo red dye as an indicator for the presence of a malignant tumor, is announced by two English scientists, Dr, C. Wetzier-Ligeti. and Dr. B. P. Wiesner, in a 'preliminary com- munication to the editor of "Na- ture." An extract of the blood ~ which has-been freed of all pro-- tein matter is injected -intQ the person suspected of having a mal- ignant tumor and is later tested with the Congo red dye. Succes- sive tests tell whether the blood is being regenerated. A failure to regenerate blood is a common condition when mezliznant tumor are present. "New Source of Insulin? Discovery of a new possible source of insulin, which would eliminate the discomfort of in- jections by the hypodermic needle, was announced at Montreal last week with the publication of the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. An extract, made by boiling the fresh or -dried "bark from the roots of the Devil's Club, a shrub Columbia coast, has given remark- able results in reducing the sugar in the blood of a group of test rabbits Discovery of the substance by the research workers, Dr. R. G. Large, and Dr. H, N. Brocklesby, was made by chance. "Our atten- tion," the article in the Journal points out, "was brought to this material through the examination by one of us of a surgical patient who, on hospitalization, developed marked symptoms of diabetes. "This person, it was learned, had kept in apparent good health for several years by oral doses of an infusion of this root bark, and is in fact still leading a normal life with the aid of this infusion." "Such a preparation has long been used by Pacific Coast In- dians, though fot what specific purpose is mot clear." Decrease Tuberculosis Deaths A four hundred per cent. decrease in the number of deaths from tuberculosis among young children has been brought about recently by the use of tuberculosis vaccine, the American Association for the Advancement of Science wad told at Ottawa early this month. This development of immunity to the 'white plague" among children, the most susceptible group, has been achieved by the use' of the bacillus calmette-guer- in vaccine, originally developed at 4 .Gardening Notes... STARTING A ROCK GARDEN Before starting to build a' rock garden, study the site to decide on a size and shape that will blend in- to the garden design. Place the stones so that two-thirds of each oné is beneath the soil surface to simulate conditions to which most- of our rock garden plants are ac- customed. Arrange the stones in a natural position--which precludes standing them on their ends. Let the sur- face incline toward the back so that the rain water will drain into thé soil and not run over the forward end. Potted plants of perennials now in active growth may be ob- tained as planting material. CUTTING THE LAWN Cutting the lawn "ort often up- gets the balance between top In addi- 'tion, it exposes the crowns of the plants to the direct rays of the summer sun, Young tender blades are seriously affected; Much of the soil surface also stl exposed to the sun, and water evaporates from these areas at an alarniing rate. The roller of the mower should be set as low as it will go s0 as to raise the cutting blades one and a half to two inches over the crowns; The first and second cuttings with the high blades perhaps leave a somewhat disappointing sight since the effect will be quite different from the accustomed results, This condition urges many gardeners to fall back upon shaving the lawn in the conventional style. But those who have the courage to go on will find the appearance of their lawn. greatly fmproved by the third cut- ting, and when the fourth is com. pleted they likely will be complete- ly converted, CANADA LILY The Canadian lily (Lilium cana- dense) also is known as meadow lily and wild yellow lily. It ifs more common than any other other of our native lilies, ranging from New Brunswick and Ontario southward to Missouri, Georgia-and Alabama, While jt does well in the garden, provided favorable growing condi- tions are present, plants found in the wilds usually are superior in stature and number of flowers to the stem. When in bloom they stand anywhere from two to five feet in height, carrying from one to ten flowers at the top of the slen- der but strong flower. spike. The inidvidual blooms are two or three inches in length, and when fully open are almost twice as wide, The bulbs may be planted in el- ther autumn or spring. They resent lime in the soil, and should be cov- ered about two inchés deep. In their native haunts they take kind. ly to semi-shaded' positions. They also appear in open mountainous meadows, where they never suffer from want of moisture, Thé bloom- ing séason falls in June and July.

Touch Sense Studied The study of single layers of molecules, which at first appeared to be of purely academic interest, is likely to become of great im- portance in explaining obscure phenomena that have been puzzl- ing scientists for a long time. One of the problems is nerve conduc- tion. It has long been a mystery how, if we touch something, the -- knowledge of that contact is re- layed to the brain over the nerve --fibres. Dr. Irving Langmuir, of the General Electric Research Labora- tories, New York, in an article in the current issue of "Science" describes the overturning of these layers and concludes that this phenomenon "may help explain the mechanism of the propagation of nerve impulses 2 » HAVE --tARD A young man applied for a position and 'was granted an inter- view, After the usual preliminar- ies the manager said: Manager--'"Have you any am- bition?"

Swiss Abolish Death Penalty Swiss voters in a national ple- biscite last veek adopted a new Federal penal code, aimed at unify- ir the canton .1 codes, of which the country formerly had 26. The new code abolishes the death penalty and aims generally not to retaliate against but to improve the criminal. A judge's first considera- tion will not be the actual crime but the motive.

Some of "Howlers." Following were some of the "howlers": "The people of South: Africa are all mixed up." "In South Africa, the people are mostly Bores." "In South Africa the Winters are very bad, almost dense." "The Union of South Africa has very few rivers suitable for agri- culture." Red Hot Dessert "The surface of South Africa is simply a red hot dessert." "The Gulf Stream makes New- foundland and Ireland very mod- est." "The earth travels at a terrific speed, and the north hemisphere ° comes into the cquator on a slant." "The air does not move towards the north because the wind blows it back." "Winds blow to the equator be- cause there is much space there" Pilots Should Eat Spinach Vitamin "A" Needed for Good Eyes, Military Doctor Says A U.S. army air .corps medical officer told military pilots to eat their spinach and take their cod liver oil if they want to avold ac- cldents and stay allve. Major John Hargraves, flight sur- geon in the school of aviation, me- dicine, said in the air corps' news letter "that he wanted to maintain and improve the eyesight of pilots, The same. warning, he added, holds good for motorists, particu- larly those driving at night or on long trips. © Essential to Sight A chemical essential to sight is constantly being used up by the action of light on it, but is replaced immediately if--there fis sufficient vitamin "A" or .arotene in the diet, Dr. Hargraves said. Otherwise the supply of chemical, known as vis- ual purple, in the eyeball diminish. es and vision becomes increasingly. impaired. Where To Get It Most people ordinarily obtain enough vitamin "A" or carotene, the physician said. He recommend- ed, however, that as a protective measure, all pilots above the ag- of 35 include in their daily diet foods which contain 4,000 units of Vita- min "A". That amount, he added, can be obtained from leafy vegetables, such as spidach or cabbage, one quart of milk, butter, egg yolks, animal fats, liver, carrots, green beans or peas, sweet potatoes and pumpkin--or from one spoonful of cod liver oil-a day. did Hair Turns White Then Dark Again Elderly Man, Aged by Shock, Puzzles Court and Doctor "By some extraordinary process, which is difficult to understand, the accident produced a shock which acted on the glands of the body and resulted in old age, a man of 56 changing to a man of 70. Now he has the advantage of us in looking forward to getting younger instead of older." This was the comment of Judge Dale, at the Birmingham (England) county court, in awarding compen. sation of $125 against a metal firm in favor of Alfred Barnes. Fingers Were Crushed While: in the firm's employ in April, last year, counsel for the plaintiff testified, Barnes crushed the fingers of his left hand and the tops of them were taken off. But the most serious feature was that owing to sliock he was "precipitat- ed into premature senility." His hair dropped out, and when ft grew again it was white. His appearance changed so much that his friends and a sailor son who had returned from the East on leave passed him in 'the street without recognizing him, He was unable to find work. Case Is Unique : In evidence, Dr. A, T Thompson sald the case was ufiiqie and ha could not trace an exact compari. son. He had legltired on the case and when .asked to guess Barnes's ae medical students had put it at 0. Subsequently Barnes's hair, which went snow-white, had chang- ed slowly week by week and had begun to resume its normal dark color, 3 J
