- -------- ee I i -- Pe J Nature : Supplies 'Defence Methods Many defence methods and de- vices used in modern war have amazing counterparts in the pro- tective measures evolved. ages ago by Nature for creatures of 'the woods, fields and sea. Artillery: The. bombardier bet. tle carries" a cannon--a peculiar gland in its abdomen---and when - it fires a blast of -evil-smelling ges accompanied by 'a bang lke that © of a tiny pop-gun, its enemies, predaceous. ground beetles and birds, retreat in panic; Grapples: News dispatches re- port that.tbe British have. devel: oped a projectile which, upon. ex- ploding, * releases metal filqments that enmesh a raiding airplane's _ propeller, Similarly, the parame- elum, a protozoan found in ponds, protects itself by shooting "forth a mass of grappling threads that entangle the foe while the para- mecium escapes. : Smoke Screen: To mask itself from a prowling predator that In. terrupts its search for:food -en the ocean floor, the squid ejects a cloud of inky fluid under cover of which it whisks away to a rock. cranny home port until danger passes. = TERA Camouflage: Of the countless examples of comouflage in Nature, ° the spider crab has the most aston- ishing trick. Taking cuttings of seaweed, it chews the ends to give them better purchase, then affixes them among the hooked bristles that grow on "top of {ts shell, where they take root and effec. tively conceal the wily crab, + Parachutes: The common splder of our woods and meadows clamb- ors up a'tree and spins out.a long floating filament of silk; 'whén this catches .the breeze the splder lets goof its perch, and after. it has soared the desired distance it partly reefs in ifs parachute and thus floats .gently to the ground. . Air: Combat: ~ As the. pursuit plane's greater speed and manoeu- verability enables it to rout the bomber, the hummingbird drives large hawks and other marauders away from its nest by darting at them and aiming its lancelike lit- . tle beak at their eyes. New Shah of Iran Gives Up Fortune Iran's new 21-year-old Shah has decided to cede all the pos- sessions of his fabulously rich father as a gift to the nation; -- The new ruler also has pre- pared a general amnesty decree for all political prisoners of the regime of his abdicated father, it was announced. - The former Shah, a -one-time Cossack cavalryman, reputedly was the richest man in Asia when he gave up his throne. Almost, all of Mazanderan prov- ince was his private holding and. the. revenue from: monopolies, hotels, motor transport and many kinds of stores and factories bulged the royal purse," Vast sums were banked in his name in the United States and Britain. -Selzure of this property was actually decided upon at a' secret parliamentary session prior to the taking of the oath by the new Shah who promised to rule as a ° constitutional monarch, a No Winter Fair © Again This Year Efforts to have the Ontario Provincial Winter Fair stagéd in Guelph this 'year have failed, Dr. W. J. R. Fowler, of Guelph, pre. sident of the fair hoard of direc- tors, said recently. The great "farmers' show" had to be can- i « celled 'two years ago wher 'thé Department of Defence took over the buildings used here for the fair, as barracks for army units. The buildings have been vacant for some time row, and it was hoped that they might 'be avail able for the fout:day show early in' Deceniber, but = government officials rcfused tb grant their use.

If Germany begins to. lose the war, Hitler will not even stop at bacteriological warfare, Beverly Baxter, Member of Parliament, said recently after his arrival from Lisbon on the Yankee Clip- per at LaGuardia Field. "If we get Hitler on the run, he will: concentrate on England with things you never even thought of before," Mr. Baxter raid, "If things go badly with him in Russia, he will turn loose a vengeance war on us, not stop- ping at bacteriological warfare. After all, the object of Hitler's real hate is England, although he's getting awfully cross at the United States." : Profanity Fines For Worthy Cause Not that railwaymen are any more addicted to profanity than the ordinary run of mortals but the Queen's Canadian Fund res ceived a rather unexpected! con- tribution recently from a Cana- dian National train crew who un- dertook tolfine themselves every time they uttered a swear word.
