BACK-TALK z 7 a hd 0 AY § IN ITALY so > ~ WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Water Can Be Used To Start A Fire Water is almost universally thought of as a primary fire cx- tinguisher, writes W. P. Keasbey in the Christian Science. Monitor. under certain special conditions, water also can start a fire. * : Most of us have nsed a burning glass or have seen 'one used. A burning glass is merely a lens of magnifying glass ground in such a way that it brings to a sharp fo- cus the rays of light which pass through it. When used in bright sunlight it can concentrate all the rays that fall on its surface (say three in- ches in diameter) onto a tiny area not much bigger than a pinhead. This concentration of rays results in a corresponding concentration of heat, and when the sunlight fall- ling on the burning glass is focused on dry paper, dry shavings, or readily combustilbe mater- ial, the heat will soon cause the substance first to char, then to smoke, and finally to burst into flame. : Water has two properties in common with glass and these pro- perties make it possible for water to start a fire. Clean water is trans- parent like glass. Also, like glass, water bends rays of light that pass through it at an angle. This bend- ing of light rays by water is fa- miliarly seen in the fact that a stick ____ot_a_pencil, thrust into water at an angle, seems to bend where it en- ters the water's surface, Since water lets light pass through and sends it as it passes, if water is placed ina clear glass container of the proper shape, 'it can act like a burning glass--it can concentrate rays of sunlight to such an extent that their focused heat can cause combustible material to burst into flame. Water in a goldfish bowl might produce such an cffect. . ' Wrens Give { Orders To Old Seamen Hard-bitten old merchant sea eaptains with little use for women around a ship are taking orders from women at an Atlantic port.

Where {is the proper place to scat a woman guest of honor at the dinner table? Answers 1. One would be monopolizing the talk to the yoint where every- one is bored; the other, letting the conversation lapse every time it reaches you. 2. No; either the girl's escort or the waiter should assist her. 3. No; this call should be as brief as possible. 4. Yes; it would be nice to send best wishes, but it is not obligatory unless an invitation to the ceremony is res ceived. 5. Yes; apologize quictly and thén jass on as quickly as pos- sible. 6.

The empty hair tonic bottle which has the top that permits on- ly a few drops to come out at a time will make an excellent . re- ceptacle for bluing. It will prevent staining the fingers and clothes, as so often done with an ordinary bottle. Big Vegetable Crop From 1943 Gardens Victory gardens last ycar are es- timated to have yiclded 115 million pounds of vegetables in 209,200 plots located in Canadian centres with populations of more than one thousand, says tlie Tamilton Spec- "fator.

"The bill will pass the trillion mark in 1045, according to figures compiled by the Tax Institute of New York. A trillion dollars is a million million or a thousand billion--a sum never used in human history before to reckon the cost of war or any' other * activity, The Tax Institute calculates that the Axis so far has spent about the same amount on the war as the United Nations. But the balance of expenditures is now shifting rapidly - and this year the United Nations will spend $150 billions as against an estimated . total Axis expendi- ture of $50 billions. It must be re- membered, of course, that a dollar will buy more in the Axis countries than in the Allied countries, where' wages and living standards -are higher.
