Arctic Water to Flow Into Great Lakes > BUILT AT LONG LAC Diversion of water from the Arc- tic ocean watershed to the great lakes and the St. Lawrence through Long lake, one of the largest en- gineering projects ever undertaken in northern Ontario, will be almost complete by the end of the year, according to reports from Fort Wil- liam, Ont, The map, LEFT, shows location of the development. A $600,000 dam has already been con- structed at Kenogamisis lake, 50 miles north of Long Lac station and a second dam will be huilt at the head of Long Lac. The entire project, which will add a flow of 1,250 cubic feet of water per sec- ond to the Niagara river either to flow over the falls or for power development, and also making pos- sible an increase of $1,000,000 per year in the revenue from Ontario's forests, is under the control of the Ontario Hydro, headed by Dr. T.

The grass grows vigorously until hard freezing weather, and such annual weeds as may start are killed off by the first frosts. Even better results are obtained when the area to be planted can be prepared a few weeks in ad- vance. This gives the soil a chance to settle under heavy rains, so that any uneven places may be regraded just before sowing. It also pro- vides a chance for any weed seeds in the soil to sprout. These are easily destroyed when the ground receives a final preparation for sowing the grass, which then can get off to a clean start, with the minimum competition from weeds. If lime is to be added to the soil, it can also be put in now; this is preferable to applying it just be- fore the grass-seed is sown, - x3 Joe % oe" e%e%.e" XIX °, Joale oles] oe' XXX x) a! > 33 3 Te 0) x 0 0% +% o% ot IRD SPINACH AND CABBAGE The home owner with a veget- able garden looks to early August as the time to sow spinach for a within a month or so. Most im- portant, however, is the sowing of Chinese. cabbage which usually fails to head if sown in spring. Sow the cabbage seeds thinly in the row where they will grow, be- cause they resent transplanting. Thin the seedlings when they be- gin to crowd one another, until the plants stand fifteen inches apart, They will make solid heads by late autumn and add to the menu a delicacy that has a flavor more mild and pleasant than ordinary cabbage. It also makes delicious slaw and the leaves may be eaten raw like celery or lettuce. Johnny Jump-Ups Johnny jump-ups, as the old- fashioned small-flowered violas of great-grandmother"s garden were appropriately called, have jumped back into popular favor. Like so many other really satisfactory gar- den flowers, they were sacrificed on the altar of "big" flower worship. It is of interest, too, that the old- fashioned small-flowered pansies are again sought. One carefully selected strain, put out under thé name of "Shakespeare's," is the true old-fashioned type, Sawed With Sock Cotton socks are being issued to prisoners in United States jails, because one prisoner man- aged to saw through a one-inch iron bar with a yarn from a wool sock. It took him 7 hours to do it. Although England has fewer brewers than just before the World War their total profits have risen from less than $5,000,000 in 1918 to $142,600,000 in 1937, To Make Glass, Sand Is Needed Heat Causes It To Run Into A Transparent Glaze--How Glass Was Discovered Well may we speak of the shift ing sands, says a writer in the Children's Newspaper, for year by year the contours of the sandy des- erts change. - In the Canary Is- lands are huge heaps of sand piled up by winds that have blown from the Sahara, and in Syria and Per- sia and Arabia the sands are for ever drifting over the ruins of anci- ent cities. These hills and valleys are never still, and when a hurri- cane springs up and the sand flies before the sterm men bury their heads and crouch down with fear and trembling, But sand is useful, Without fit we should be at a loss to know how to build our houses, and but for sand we might have no glass. Though experts are not sure where glass-making began it is believed to have been jin Egypt or Syria, both countries having abundant sand. It is possible that glass was ac- cidentally discovered by Phoenici- an merchants who did their cook- ing in the sand and found that heat caused it to run into a trans- = hs Sb : From that time to parent glaze. this sand has always been largely used in the manufacture of glass. Sand has long been used for measuring time, We still have egg- boilers with their little lot of sand, and in the days before clocks were cheap the sand-glass, or hour-glass, was always at hand. Ancient Origin Of "Honeymoon" Among the northern nations of Europe. in ancient times, it was the custom for newly married couples to drink metheglin or mead (a kind of wine made from money) for thirty days after marriage. Antiquarian lore has it that from this custom the term "honey month," or '"honeymoon" originated, says The Rocky Moun- tain Herald. Whether or not that is the origin of the word, it is known that in the days of mar- riage by capture the bridegroom remained in hiding with his bride until her kinsmen tired of the search for her. Later, when love entered mar- riage and elopements were fre- quent, the bride and bridegroom remained in hiding for a while. Both of 'these "hiding periods" seem to point to possible origins of the honeymoon trip. Swallows Say It'll Be A Tough Winter It's a long, tough winter we're headine for if swallows are to be trusted as meteorological prognosticators. When the swallows head for the south and warmer climates this early in the year weather prophets have no hesitancy in predicting an early and severe winter. Already well on their way south this flock of swallows is creating a design against the sky on the telephone wires in North Carolina. / What Science * |s Doing * Variable Freezing Point A scientist last week described water as a strange chemical com- bination which can stay liquid at temperatures far below its freez- ing point or freeze at tempera- tures several degrees above. Dr. Ernest Dorsey of the Unit- ed States Bureau of Standards said he has cooled water to six degrees below zero without having it turn into ice. This is 38 degrees below its "standard" freezing point. Other investigators have found, he added, that under some air conditions ice forms on the wings of an airplane in flight even though the temperature is several degrees above freezing. Successful Respirator Mask A new type of respirator mask, tried out in planes flying in the sub-stratosphere, may some day serve as a substitute for oxygen tents now used in hospitals. Dropping 'out of the sky after a non-stop flight at Minneapolis last week with scientific data on oxygen mask equipment expected to make 'an important contribution to medical science, For seven hours and 40 minutes the large transport plane of Northwest Airlines has flown from Los Angeles and approximately one third of the time at an alti- tude of 31,000 feet in order to give the crew time to test the new masks. ; Deadly Germ Photographed Bringing with him what he described as the only photographs ever made of the dread strepto- coccus germ, Dr, Herbert Rogers, resident pathologist of the North Middlesex Hospital of London, England, arrived on this continent last week to confer with Harvard medical authorities. Dr. Rogers said he discovered the germs ac- cidentally four months ago while examining the blood of a 80-year- old woman patient. Although the germs were known to enter the blood stream of victims, he assert- ed, they very seldom have been located. Measure Cosmic Rays Maybe a cosmic ray doesn't mean much to you. Maybe you don't even know what it is. But over in Philadelphia, scientists are striving to fathom its myster- ies. : Members of the Bartol Research Foundation have built a cylindrical iron tank, over 40 ft. high, and 10 ft, in diameter, to be used as a laboratory for experimental pur- poses. The bottom of the tank will be specially shielded from wireless waves--which disturb the cosmic ray--and the top of it will be filled with water, through which the cosmic rays will pass and be measured. Polio and Summer Flu It is possible that there is some relationship between summer flu and infantile paralysis, Dr. B. T. McGhie, Deputy Minister of Health for Ontario, remarked last week. It appeared probable that many people might have the or- ganism, yet not develop any ap- pearance of paralysis, he said. New Nitrogen Form There is a mysterious light in the night sky, which does not come from the moon or stars. Dr. Joseph M. Kaplan, associate pro- fessor of physics, University of California, at Los Angeles, has been investigating this radiation and his studies have led to the discovery of a new form of nitro- gen. He secured pictures of its spee- trum which indicated the light came from electrically excited gases in the outer region of the atmosphere, but there were some lines in the spectrum that did not belong to known gases. Calcula- tions demonstrated that the lines photographed corresponded with those produced by nitrogen in atomic form. The known nitro- gen is a molecule made up of two nitrogen atoms. In the new form the nitrogen are single atoms. ST The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY "PRAY FOR THE WANDERER" By Kate O'Brien The soft, warm charm of the Irish countryside is evoked as a convincing. background for this tale of the Costello family who live at Weir House'in the Vale of Honey. The action of the story is en- tirely in the minds and hearts of three people. Matt Costello comes back after many years in London, after winning fame and riches as novelist and playwright, after the raptures of a passionate love af- fair--and after its end. A month of meetings with the cool, lovely, intelligent Nell Mahoney brings him the sudden hope of new life. What happens when he grasps at the hope, it is Miss O'Brien's pre- rogative to tell. The swift de- nouement is surprising.

Seaweed Wrapping Latest wonder from the labora- tory is an entirely new transpar- ent wrapping material made from seaweed, Chemists found that certain species of the weed when boiled set like a jelly.
