Deep, Largest Meteorite Crater A new champion's official measurements have been announced by the National Geographic Society. The champion is Chubb Crater, established 11 as the largest of all known meteorite craters in the world as the result of four weeks' research carried on last summer at the crater site in northern Quebec by Dr. Victor Ben Meen, Toronto geologist, and five scientistassociates. The huge pockmark in the subarctic granite has a maximum depth of 1,325 feet, figured from the level of the highest point on its rim. The surface of the lake in the crater bowl is 500 feet below the rim's top level, and the maximum depth of the lake is.825 feet. Diameter of the rim averages 11,500 feet, and its circumference is 6.8 miles. The depth is thus a few feet less and the rim diameter a few hundred feet more than indicated by preliminary figures dispatched from northern Quebec last August at the time field work was completed. Both dimensions, however, are more than twice the corresponding ones of Arizona's Meteor Crater, long officially recognized as the earth's largest scar known to be due to an earth-meteor collision. The crater lake averages 9,100 feet in diameter. Its shoreline measures 5.4 miles around. Dr. Meen, director of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum of Geology and Mineralogy, led an expedition to the crater site. With magnetometers, they defined a "magnetic anomaly"--a subsurface mass of iron outlined by its effect on the earth's magnetic force. Such an anomaly is attributed by scientists to meteorite fragments buried deep in the granite rim. WE TRUST that as the end of a summer's snapshooting draws to a close that you have not just one for your book--but wonderful pictures by the dozen that should be mounted in your favorite type of album. And the sootlr you put them in, the better it will be. Most of us know from sad experience that loose pictures have a way of getting lost--to say nothing of getting their corners broken and the surfaces scratched. So now is a good time to collect all the envelopes that you've gotten back from the photofinisher sort the pictures, group them appropriately and put them in a book. There are albums available for every taste. There are giant size books large enough to hold a decade of snapshots, and then there are those which hold 10 or a dozen--with a wide range of sizes in between. Some people prefer to keep a big book and mount the pictures chronologically. Others like a smaller size album and make one for each year, while another popular custom is making small special books which bear labels such as "Vaca- - WM » You can buy commercially manufactured albums--or make your own scrapbook fashion. In the commercial album field you can choose between the type in which the prints are simply mounted on the pages--and those whose leaves are in the form of transparent envelopes which will protect your pictures nicely. Look at your ^prints with an eye that is at least mildly critical. when you assemble them. If ther*; is one that is drastically over or underexposed or which isn't too kind to your subject it's better to drop it in the wastebasket. I know, that throwing away any pictures is quite a struggle. I have trouble that way myself. I've got a snapshot in my album that is so bad the subject is unrecognizable. Why I put it there in the first place,, and why I've left it there all of these years--I can't say. When you are putting your pictures in order, don't forget th§ negati\es. Assemble them in* equally good order and put them where they are safe from damage ahd easy to find. An inexpensive negative file made up of small transparent envelopes will take care of them very nicely. tr-John van Guilder St Peter's Catholte »w.. Spring Grove Rev. John L.

Probably the luciferin, after it ha? become properly activated, actual ly produces the light.
