ens omit 5 NE en 4 SPILT Ah Manitoba Finds Chromite Deposit Mineral of Great Value In » War and Peace The discovery of chromite fn South-eastern Manitoba promises to be of great value to the war ef- fort, says the Winnipeg Tribune. It alse carries with it the prospect of adding to the wealth of Mani: toba when /peace again prevalls, . Chromite is the source of chrom- fum, with' which, the public was famillar in peacetime as a lustrous, silvery finish on a host of manu- factured articles. It resisted rust and tarnish, and seemed Impeérve fous to time and wear, However, the use of chromium for plating "and finishing is only one (pply of i the metal. It is widely used as a steel alloy, 'Stainless steel, for in. stance, gets its peculiar character {stics from {its chromium content. Its value in the making of muni- tions can readily be seen. When added to steel it increases its strength and hardness without an accompanying brittleness, as well as making it resistant to corrosion," Pre-War Sources In the prewar timgs the prin- cipal sources of chromite were Turkey, South "Africa and Rho- desia, In all cases the ore had to be transported to seaboard and .. thence by water to countries where cheap electric power was available to convert ft into a us- able metal, Here in Manitoba the chomite discoveries are a stone's throw from hydro-electfle plants which are already sufficiently de. veloped to supply the required en- ergy at low cost. The savings ef- fected from this on-the-spot pro- cessing should be a favorable fac- tor in competition for world mar. "kets, Preliminary investigations - have disclosed the deposits are compar able in size with the most im- portant fields new in production, with the possibility that they may be far larger. The" discovery of this mineral wealth has come at a happy mo-" ment--when the need of the Un. ited Nations -was- great, means much for the future: of "Manitoba as one of the mineral producers of the period of recon- struction. Busy Time Ahead For Honey Bees 40,000,000 Pounds of Honey Their Goal For 1943 . Canadian bees, with luck, will zoom to a record during 1943, hauling home enough 1/20,000th- pound loads of honey to make a -total "of - more than 40,000,000 pounds to sweeten the nation's diet. Dominion Agriculture Depart. ment spokesmen said that if the weather smiles the bees will achieve that target for the year, comparing with 23,205,900 pounds in 1941 when the honey legions often were orable conditions, and with about 38,000,000 pounds in 1938, the pre- vious record year. _ C. B. Gooderham, Dominion apiarist, said the Dominion's honey-producing plant Is in good condition to meet new demands. Sugar rationing and military de- mands for honey and beeswax' have encouraged enlarged produc- tion. More than' 40,000,000,000 honey bees will work to produce the ex- pected 40,000,000 pounds. They live in 436,000 colonies. Vital statistics--for the bee--in- clude the fact that each welghs about 1/5,000th pound and oan carry about half its own weight in nectar, The nectar evaporates about halt its weight in turning into honey, Officials sald that present bee- keepers are being encouraged to enlarge and incrase the efficiency of their hee colonles, rather -than newcomers being encouraged to enter the business on a tempor- ary basis, Not Quite Alone In Deep Shelter "A sailor, whose courage at sea was the talk of every ship he sailed in, admitted a terror of air raids. So, when he was grant. ed - shore leave, his mates were not surprised when, unashamed, he tucked his hammock under his arm and announced that he in. tended to swing it for the night in tlie deepest shelter he could find. Having selected his shelter, he _ was astonished to find it unocca- PE vied. He slung his hammock and went to sleep, Next morning, vacating the shelter, he was greeted by an astonished police- 'man: "Is there anybody else down there?" "No," the sailor replied, "I was quite alone." "Not quite," said the bobby, "thére's a delayed-action bomb down there, too, I've been here all nigh waiting for it to go off."

A friend .on a farm asked. Dr. Gordon S. Fulcher, a physicist of Washington, D.C.; if a hive would be easier to carry if she stirred up the bees so they would fly around, This suggested the grass- hopper problem to Dr. Fulcher as a similar but simpler case. He has reported to the journal Sci. ence, his findings. Each grasshopper as it jumps gives a downward kick to the box, thereby increasing its weight, While the grasshopper is in the air, the box is, to be sure, relieved of its weight, but when the hopper lands, the box again receives a downward thump. Dr. Fulcher shows mathematically that these balance out and the average weight of the box does not change. The same applies to the bees in "a closed hive: "The total average weight must be the same no mat- ter what the actions or motions of the bees and other parts in- side the closed container may be." The same applies to any body not at the absolute zero of tem- perature, for which all the mole- cules are at rest. At any higher temperature, because, of thermal agitation, many of the molecules at any given instant are in the air, so to speak. But each mole- cule as it takes off gives a down- ward kick and again when it lands. The weight of the body as indicated by a balance is an average of these downward kicks and of the dead weight of those molecules that happen to- be at rest. The indicated weight does not change with temperature. U. S. Prepared For Gas Warfare It gas becomes a weapon of gon- eral use in this war, the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States 'Army is ready to give It-- and equally ready to take it. Major-Gen. Willlam N. Porter, C.W.S. chief, said the Germans are known to have large sotres of war gas, and can be expected to use it whenever advantageous. "So far, in my opinion, the only reason the Germans have not used gas is that they have not needed It," he sald. "Wo would all be very remiss, without suflicient quantities o gas," 'he added. "We feel that we are ahead of Germany in tho production of gag."

New traffic records were created for each nionth, and the traffic vol- ume for the year exceeds by a . wide margin "any previous exper- fence. Indicated net revenue will be $85,000,000 against $66,608,341 In 1941 Mr. Vaughan reported.

Mr. Vaughan stress. ed that while the 1942 volume ot traffic exceeded that of 1928 by 44 per cent. it was handled with 8.6 per cent. less staff, 25.9 fewer freight cars, 14.2 per cent, fewer passenger cars and 6.0 per cent. fewer locomotives, while the fuel consumption in 1942 was less by 45,000 tons. a After meeting all operating ex- penses, Including equipment depre- ciation and appropriate charges for deferred maintenance and re- newals = Mr. Vaughan indicated, _net revenue of the company will be sufficient to pay taxes and all other charges, including interest due to the public and to the gov- ernment, and leave a substantial surplus to be paid to the govern- ment. A Bird Story Pilots back from" Guadalcanal recently toll a tall bird story. A marine, they said, captured a wild parrot and taught it to shout: "Hello, Joe!" as greeting to any Jap.
