And to think about it from a correctâ€" ly Scouting standpoint. Strange Types Mr. Talman begins with an account of an exceptionally weird electrical display _ reported by Dr. Walter Knoche, for many years director of the weather service of Chilo. We read: Not all kinds of lightning are in the textâ€"books,~remarks Charles Fitzhugh Talman in the New York Times. Some of the oldest have not yet even been explained, and some, perhaps, should not be called lightning at all, though they are doubtless electrical. "He was traveling by steamboat down the Rio Paraguay in South America, on October 3, 192. A severe drought had prevailed in the surroundâ€" ing country for months. At T o‘clock in the eveningâ€"though no rain fellâ€"a tremendous electrical storm began. " ‘It did not approach,‘ writes Dr. Knoche in the Metsorologische Zeitâ€" schrift, ‘but was instantly thereâ€"and it was there as far as the eye could reach, to north, south, west, and east, and overhead. It would have been imâ€" possible to count even approximately the number of the lightning flashes.‘ Many of these were in the form of streak lightning, but were reddish or yellowisk. Almost equally numerous were the flashes of dazzling white ‘beaded‘ lightningâ€"a phenomenon reâ€" sembling a string of glowing pearls in the sky. Such lightning is, so far as anybody knows, extremely rare, and the occurrence of more than one or two examples of it in a single storm is almost unheard of. Chilean _ Weather _ Service Director Describes Weird "Dr. Knoche tells also of gorgsous glows of sheet lightning along the borâ€". ders of the clouds and of various phen-' omena that can not readily be classiâ€" fied, including curious, rapidly moving, orangeâ€"colored discharges, which he says resembled cylindrical masses of glowing gas; flashes ‘hat revolved like pinwheels! and, at one period of the storm, hundreds of luminous arcs crowded together near the zenith, so dazzling that he had to close his eyes. "Perhaps the strangest feature of this exhibition was that it went on for hours without thunder. Thunder beâ€" gan abruptly in the early morning, and then became a continuous roll. The storm ended, or the steamer passed out of itâ€"about .8 o‘clock, having lastâ€" ed thirteen hours. "The same meteorologist has pubâ€" lished accounts of equally marveious electrical exhibitions in another part of South Americaâ€"the spectacular ;fihuamflocMMMAMu Phenomena Of Lightning If you are interestol in the Boy Scouts, and unable to join a regular ltroop. write to the Lone Scout Departâ€" ment for particulars of how y>u may |become a Lone Scout.

If the term ‘lightning‘ can be _ stretched far enough to include this, it Iought also to include St. Elmo‘s fire, 'to which ball lightning is perhaps closely related. What is the "Silver Wolf?" (Lonie, Simcoe). This is the highest award in Scouting. ~It is the Chief Scout‘s perâ€" sonal recognition of exceptional serâ€" vices, and the number awarded is very small indeed.

Certaia alleged photographs of such lightning, Mr. Talman tells us, have turned out to be pictures ofâ€"alternatâ€" ingâ€"current efectric ls ps photographâ€" ed with a moving camera. There is r~ doubt, however, that the "beaded" variety actually occurs. He goes on: Beadod lightning was first described by the French physicist, Gaston Plant, "Lightning that shoots up from the horizon at the apparent speed of a skyâ€" rocket, or occasionally travels horiâ€" zontally from the dge of a cloud at the same deliberate pace, has been reportâ€" ed several times during the last two centuries, but it remains one of the great rarities, A case was observed on August 18, 1927, from the British steamship Inkum, in the Bahamas. Similar lightning )vas seen near Calâ€" cutta one evening‘in July, 1903. to donate to you odd pieces of lumber and cans of paint to repair the toys with. * "Some of the most bizarre manifesâ€" tations of lightning are those that flash in the column of smoke and vaâ€" por from the crater of an active volâ€" cano. . The marvelous electrical disâ€" plays that attended the eruption of Pelee, in 1902, are described in George Keenan‘s dramatic story of that outâ€" break. The streaks of lightning terâ€" minated in starlike outbursts, and each flash was accompanied by a booming detonation. Probably the true explanation is that the discharges passed through and volatilized flying chunks of rock in the midst of the smoke cloud. "The natural brush discharge is best known 4s a small tuft of light issuing .trom the tip of some elevated object, such as a ship‘s mast, a church spire, or a lightaingâ€"rod. In its simpler maniâ€" | festations,. the phenomen is usually _called St. Elmo‘s fire, or corpocants, "The appearance. of luminous balls traveling through the air or moving over the surface of terrestrial objects during thundery weather has been reâ€" corded for ages, and though this phenâ€" omenon is certainly not common, it can hardly be described as excessively rare. * "The mysterious balls vary conâ€" siderably in size, color, rate of moveâ€" ment, and other characteristics,. They occur indoors as well as in the open air; some leave no trace of their passâ€" age, while others are vory destructive, some disappear silently, others with a deafening explosion." 6 In a considerable number of reportâ€" ed.casos of ball lightning, Mr. Taiman thinks that the object described as a fiery ball was actually a brush disâ€" charge of electricity from some parâ€" ticle of matter falling or floating in the air or from the fixed surface on which the supposed ball was seen. He explains: "During dust â€" storms and sandâ€" storms in the western United States it is not uncommon for insulated metal objects to become so strongly charged with electricity that they give off brush discharges, which are visible at night. Observers report herds of catâ€" tle with ‘balls of fire‘ on their horns, and the barbs of wire fences ablaze with electric discharges. During one of these storms, in western Kansas, sparks two or three inches long were drawn from a wire running to a windâ€" mill, and a prairie fire, it was thought; was started by sparks at the break of a fence wire."

That so many attractive boys and girls are left unsought in our shelters is a reflection on our philanthrophy and christianity.

There are two species, one inhabiting mountain foothills and the other subâ€"tropical forest. The caenolestes, about the size of a small mouse, is now fairly abundant in the forests of Ecuador. It is one of the two animals outside of Australia that carry their undeveloped young in pouches on the outside of the body, the other being the opossum. But the caenolestes is much closer to the Ausâ€" tralian marsupials than to its New World cousin. How it happened to deâ€" velop in South America is one of the unsolved mysteries of zoology. Frequently the runways, which they use in common with mice, are found to pass up and down the steepest parts of gullies.

Discovery of a breastplate mado of whalobone strong enough to ward off primitive arrows and spears has been reported by Moreau B. Chambers, reâ€" presentative of the Smithsonian Instiâ€" tution. _ He found the armor with many other relics of the longâ€"vanished "goldenâ€"ago" of Eskimo history, while excavating prehistoric village sites on St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea this Summer. Preserved in frozen soil for hunâ€" dreds of years as though in cold storâ€" agoe, Chambers found tools made of flint lashed in the ends of split sticks, with the original lashings of flexible whalebone still in place. There were also ivory knife handles with slate blades, throwing sticks for hurling darts, wrist guards used when shootâ€" ing bows and arrows, ivoryâ€"tipped harâ€" poouns and many ornaments. Beautifully carved ornaments, weaâ€" pons and tools, found on the older vilâ€" lage sites, provide additional evidence that the‘Eskimos originated in Asia, says Henry B. Collins, Jr.. Smithsonâ€" ian archaeologist. The Eskimos ‘ are known to have come to America long after the origâ€" inal ancestors of the Indians crossed from Asia, probably by way of Bering Strait, Collins explained. Where they originated, why they stayed in the inâ€" hospitable north, why the beautiful art of their prehistoric "golden age" degenerated much as did that of the ancient Greeks, aro mysteries scienâ€" tists are seeking to solve,. Five village sites on St. Lawrence Island, dating back to the oldest known Eskimo culture of from two to three thousand years ago, furnish a complete cross section of Eskimo hisâ€" tory covering that period of time.

In the lSO's trade was established on a reguâ€" lla\r basis, Canadian imports from Braâ€" zil being more than double Canadian Iexports to that country. In 1882 imâ€" ports were valued at $1,328,316 and ‘exports at $492,785. At times during the next two deâ€" cades, Canadian exports exceeded imâ€" ports from Brazil, but at the time war broke out Canadian imports from Brazil were considerably greater than exports of Canadian products, After the war, however, the Canadian exâ€" port trade increased rapidly, and since 1919 exports have consistently exâ€" ceeded imports. In 1930, exports of Canadian products to Brazil were valued at $4,292,293, against imports of $1,687,707. In the fiscal year 1931, however, there was a sharp decline in exports to $2,799,567, while imports fell,off slightly to $1,349,124. * Principal Imports The chiet items in Canadian imâ€" ports from Brazil are coffee, cocoa, butter and nuts. In the fiscal year there was an increase in the imports of coffee compared with the previous year, and compared as well with the imports five years earlier, in 1926. Owing to a decline in the price of coffee, however, the value of these imâ€" ports was less in 1931 than in either 1930 or 1926. The imports of coffee in 1926 were 8,103,749 pounds with a value of $1,846,027. In 1930 the quanâ€" tity was 8,942,680 pounds and the value $1,639,277, while in 1931, 11,350,â€" 804 pounds were imported at a value of 51,224,588. Imports of cocoa butter in 1931 amounted to 225,265 pounds with a value of $44,931. There were no imports of this article in 1926, but there was an import of 71,047 pounds in 1939. Of nuts the imports in 1931 were valued at $41,897. ‘This was a large increase over both the previous year and 1926. â€" In 1931 these three articles accounted for 94 per cent. of Canada‘s imports from Brazil, while in 1926 they accounted for 99 per cent. The chief exports from Canada to Brazil in the fiscal year 1931 were the total exports in that year, Exports rubber manufactures, sewing machines and fish. These three articles accountâ€" ed for approximately 71 per cent. of of Canadian products to Brazil de: clined sharply in 1931, as already inâ€" dicated. The chief causes of the decline were the fallingâ€"off in the exâ€" ports of automobiles, aluminum and electric apparatus, while there was also a considerable reduction in the export of sowing machines. +Between 1926 and 1931 there was a heavy deâ€" cline in the shipments of wheat flour.
