CF , a ees gn i RIA Sad 2 Co Far 3 oo w -- --AM Mt -- = ------ Er Ta 'Several Types Of Insulation How To Cut Down on Fuel Consumption, Increate One's Comfort Indoors Both Svm- mer and Winter The value of insulation is fre- quently considerable in the savings it effects in reduced fuel consump- tion, but its principal value is often in the increased comfort it provides both in summer and winter. Insulation is available in several forms and in a variety of materials, Fill and blanket insulation consist of loosely packed fibres or grains which resist hedt transfer in much the same way as a sweater or wool len blanket does. Reflective Types Reflective insulations, as the name implies, are bright-surfaced materials which reflect heat back into, or out of, the house, instead of permitting it to flow through the walls. The action with heat {8s similar to that of a mirror with light. Rigid-board insulation is made up of fibrous materials similar to the fill or blanket type, except that the fibers are held together like the fibers in papers, giving the materi- al a certain amount of structural strength. Fill Types The fill insulation can be blown into the stud spaces with compress- ed air in existing houses or, in the case of rew houses and unfinished attics, may be placed between the ceiling beams or studs. Blanket insulation can be applied to ceiling in the same way. Rigid boards can be applied as an attic insulation by nailing to the top of the ceiling beams or studs, or to the underside of the roof raft- ers. Noted Enginzer Dead W. R.

Tobacco Crop Good All Over The Dominion Commercial Acreage is Much Above That of 1937 Generally, the tobacco cron is in good condition and prospects promising, except in the Yamas- ka Valley, Quebec, where the fields are very uneven and a light yield is indicated, says a Dominion Bureau of Statistics report, The crop as a whole is maturing at a comparatively early date. Har- vesting of flue-cured tobacco is general in all districts in Ontario. The crop looks particularly prom- ising and good yields are indicat- ed. The total "acreage of the com- mercial crop is estimated at ap- proximately 84,000 acres, as com- pared with the revised estimates of 69,000 acres in 1937 and 55,- 000 acres in 1936. Flue-Cured Crop Excellent In Ontario the measurement of the burley acreage is now com- pleted and shows that only 9,269 acres of the to tal '10,323 acres allotted were planted this season', This smaller acreage than contem- plated, together with considerable water damage on low fields and losses from tobacco root rots, will result in a smaller crop of burley tobacco than anticipated. In con- trast, the flue-cured crop has de- 'veloped remarkably well and there is every evidence of a large crop from an allotted acreage of ap- proximately 58,000 acres, with an additional acreage of approximate- ly 8,000 or 4,000 in the new belt grown by independent growers.

Science has accomplished mar- vels in the accurate measurement of most things which register on the various human senses, but it still cannot produce anything which measures smells. The detection and elimination of odors constitutes a practical prob- lem. For instance, in schools, it is found necessary to circulate some 30 cubic feet of air per student through classrooms though all that is necessary to eliminate carbon dioxide and supply ade- quate oxygen is four cubic feet.

While spring trans- planting at the time new growth begins is feasible, the plants oft- en suffer due to the fact that new slow-growing roots are not abun- dant enough to supply the mois- ture demand of the new top growth, Fall planting does not in- cur these consequences, for very little or no top growth is formed at this season, while the roots are particularly active. This gives the roots a good chance to become thoroughly established by the time heavy demands are made upon them to support new growing tips. The exception to this rule is hemlocks, which do best if trans- planted in the spring. Late fall planting always is followed by a high mortality rate, as under this condition the plants enter the freezing periods of the year with- out new roots having a chance to develop and become thoroughly settled in their new position. Warm Soil Stimulates Roots Early autumn planting, further- a 0] XE) eel Joel eles eles; o> hia " more, has the advantage of fall- ing into a period when the soil still is quite warm and this factor as well as an abundance of soil moisture stimulates vigorous root action. "Under no circumstances should the plants be placed in dry, hot soil, and excavation of the planting hole should take place shortly after an abundant rain. COLDFRAME HELPS BIENNIALS The time has arrived to think ' of sowing seed of some of the quicker-growing biennials such as Sweet-Williams, English Daisy (Bellis) and Forget-me-nots (My- osotis).- The coldframe is a most useful adjunct to give the plants special care, since regular water- ing and shading are essential to develop a satisfactory stand of sturdy seedlings. DROUGHT RESISTAN Truly drought-resistant plants always are welcome in regions where summer is sure to be hot and dry. While there are many good plants that have this quality, several species of Rudbeckia ac- tually seem to flourish under such conditions, Perhaps the most showy of them is Rudbeckia bi- color superba, a hardy annua} of easiest culture with flowers that measure up to three inches in diameter. x, 9 . ' St. Elmo's Fire On Great Lakes St. Elmo's fire, a rarity, on Lake Ontario, struck the Rochester- bound yacht Vision somé 12 hours out of Toronto, one day last week, To the amazement of the crew of five aboard the ship, the bluish flames ran up and down the shrouds, the mast and yard arms. One member of the crew, thinking the ship afire, attempted to extin- guish the apparent blaze with a fire extinguisher, the skipper re- ported. Only the lee side, Skipper Wood- born Thompson said, was without the unusual electrical display nam- ed after St. Elmo, patron saint of sailors, ; Of a flamelike appearance, \St. Elmo's fire or light is geen usually only in stormy weather. More fre- quent in the troples, it is of the nature of a brush discharge of elec- trieity, reddish when positive, plu- ish when negative, . the water. ing, are reported to have discov- ered a new physiological fact in their study of artificial respiration for drowning persons. The Health League of Canada announces that an article in the September issue of the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association states that in a large proportion of drowning cases a laryngeal spasm develops which prevents air getting into the lungs even with artificial respiration, ' It has already been observed in post-mortem examination of drowned persons that frequently no water was found in the lungs, the article states. The explana- tion of this fact, was learned to be the action of the body's nor- may protective machinery which prevents access of water or food to the lungs during swallowing. In cases of drowning the same mechanism was said to operate and may persist as a spasm after the victim has been taken from Thus artificial respir- ation is rendered ineffective. GERMAN SUPER-MICROSCOPE Magnification up to 30,000 times is made possible by a new super microscope invented by two Geo- man scientists, according to re- ports from Berlin. The inventors, Dr. Bodo von Borries and Dr. Ernst Rurka, utilize electron rays having a .100,000 voltage current in their instrument. INSECTS COLOR-MINDED Insects are attracted by lights, but have preferences in colors. If lights of a variety of colors are exposed at night, insects ol par- . ticular kinds will be found in greatest numbers flitting around the light which has the greategt _ color appeal for them. General Electric engineers observing. the new sodium lights installed on a bridge at Clinton, Iowa, noted that the shad flies of that neigh- borhood did not like the brilliant pure yellow of the sodium lamps nearly so well as the almost white and equally brilliant incandescent lamps used on the bridgehead. The insects were recently found piled six inches deep under the incan- descent lamps, but only one inch deep under the sodium lamps. The red end of the spectrum is much less attractive to insects than the blue end. Insects apparently have a wider range of vision than hu- man beings, as*they appear to see the ultra-violet light, which is in- visible to us but to which many insects are strongly attracted.

But "story" is dan inade- quate word. Larry Nixon gives his readers mich more than the story of the freighter ship's acquisition of passenger accom- modations and growth in passen- ger popularity; he gives them pre- cisely the information they need if they want to go vagabond voy- aging themselves; and he makes them want to. The list of freight- er routes and lines covers eighty- one pages at the bck of his book, and in addition there are "real" freight ships which definitely do not take passengers. The book deals, however, not with these freight ships which are freight ships only, but with those which do carry passengers, for a moderate price and in acceptable comfort. It's a matey way of trav- eling. It's leisurely. It's simple, of course. But most freighters are well kept, many of them are new; they go to interesting places, they have no inside rooms--Oh, there's a lot to be said for freighter trav- el. Larry Nixon says it clearly, attractively and sensibly, in an in- viting and practical book. "Vagabond Voyaging," by Larry Nixon. Tllustrated. 314 np. To- ronto: McClelland & Stewart. $2.50.
