Melbourne, Australia. - Leaders ot the meat industry in Australia said last week their itrma were busier than at any time in the past 14 years and attributed increased activity to operation ot the Australian-United Kingdom trade pact, signed last sum- mer at the Ottawa Economic Confer. ence. They said improvement ot prices in their British market was worth £900,000 annually to them and that increase in home prices was worth an additional £5,775,000. The capital value ot all Australian cattle and sheep, they estimated, was £30,000,000 greater now than before the trade agreement was signed. AMERICAN. Gandhi's Contribution.

Thirty-eight Choctaw men and women are members ot the first adult Indian farm club organized among the Five Civilized Tribes. P. B. Durant was elected president. The club’s work is supervised by W.

But it was not always outstanding. For years it kept up with the best-mr worst - ot them in the money-losing business.

Mddern Farming It was no revolutionary proceedi..g to equip the Conte di Savoia with gy- roscopes. Some forty vessels, most ot them yachts owned by men who would never go to sea it the price of ocean luxury were illness produced by rol- ling, have gyro-stabilizers. The Conte di Savoia is merely the first passenger liner to be provided with stabilizers ot the gyroscopic type. Breathing Electrified Air. Some air seems to be ot more bene- fit than other air, not because it is free from smoke but because, like rad- ioactive water, it has properties pecul- iar to itself. In an address which he delivered before the Franklin Institute ot Philadelphia. Dr. Lewis R. Holler attributed these to ionization. In other words, air is electrititsd. Some ot its atoms have an electron remov- ed. The loose electrons dash about. seeking mined atoms which they can repair, and the ruined atoms become tremendously excited until they have made good their loss. Radium, x. rays, the cosmic rays. ultraviolet light from the sun, lightning-ttum, are but As soon as the Conte di Savoia starts to roll. the plane ot rotation ot the gyroscopes is disturbed. Their vertical axes tip forward. or precess. The efteet is to counteract the increase in buoyancy on the side ot the an tproaching wave. It is Just as it a weight were shifted from one side ot the ship to the other-Nat enough weight to offset the roll. However, in this case one nicely adjusted force is opposed to another force. to feel the wave and Mart to tilt. to feel the wove and start to tilt. Moreover, when it has started to tilt its inertia may keep it moving. This is one reason why exerts to use the gyroscope in Germany before the war were not a complete success. The late Elmer Sperry hit on the ingenious idea of using a small control gyroscope to tell the by gyro what to do and when. in other words. the control trgsl roscopc. being small, responds to the, beginnings ot a roll almost instantly.‘ Through an automatically started ?e-) trlc precession motor the response is communicated to the big gyroscope. Hence the big gyro begins to process sooner than it would it it had tirgt to; overcome its own sluggishness. 1 The reason why three gyroscopesl with three smaller controls can steady] the mighty Conte di Savoia is to be found in the very nature ot wave action. One wave does not make a ship roll. It takes a succession ot waves to do so. Hence, it the first; sign of a roll can be checked there is} no cumulative etteet to overcome. In. stead ot rocking from side to side the huge ship rises and falls slowly while the waves pass under her. These treaisiekmstrts-prtmsetting subl- lizers are like ordinary tops in prin- ciple, except that they are mounted in bearings, which are fastened to the ship's frame. As long us it spins fast enough any top stands upright. Try to push it over and it wobbles as it slowly recovers itself. That is, its ver- tical axis describes a wide circle which grows smaller and smaller until the top stands upright again. The wahble is called the top's precession. The Top Principle Applies. The top stands up because. like every rapidly rotating body, it resists any force that tends to disturb its plane ot rotation. Mount 9. top or trr- roscope on a vehicle with only two wheels arranged in tandem. The ve- hicle will stand up so long as the top is spinning. Push the vehicle over and the spinning wheel will bring it back to an upright position. l This Week’s Offerings of Science Device That Steadies a Ship At Sea The new Italitut liner Canto di 8.- Tttia displaces 48,000 tons. Yet three spinning tops or tirnrttee1s weighing 660 tons or a little less than 1.6 per cent. ot her total dltrpucement, con- trol her perfectly. Moreover. they do this with an expenditure of not more than 1,900 horsepower, or 1.5 per cont. ot the horsepower of the main engines.
