BIRDS SHOW INCREASE

number of reports received, however
was not large. Many of the persons
who had formerly taken part in the
annual bird counts were unable tc
find time for the work required by the
fifth count.
MANY species of migratory birds,

Waterfowl formerly driven to the fai

to breed in localities where none had
previously nested for many years.

Test.
ALWAYS MYSTERY TO SCIENCE
When Bubble Becomes Very Old II
Offers Only Possible Example OF
the MoIecule Visible to the
Naked Eye.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Facts about the
prodigious strength of soap bubbles,
proved by experiments in which bub-
bles were kept intact for more than a
year and subjected to all sorts OF
weight strains, were made public here
for the first time by the Franklin In
stitute, one of the oldest scientific so.
cieties in the United States.
Important to Chemists.
Coming on the heels Of the an
nouncement of Einstein's discoveries
Of the gravitational bending Of light,
the exploitation of the soap bubble is
or the other end of the scale as to
size, yet, according to scientists, is
Of tremendous Importance to chemists,
physicists and research workers in the
strength of materials and essential ele.
ments. The man who made the expert.
ment is universally recognized as one
of the leading scientists in the world,
He is Sir James Dewar. LII. D., d. Sc.

SoapBubbles Kept
Intact Whole Year

F. r. S., Fulierian Professor of Chem
istry, Royal Institution of Great
Britain, and an honorary member of
the Franklin Institute.
The soap bubble is a simple thing,
yet it has always been more or less
a mystery to scientists. They consider
it perhaps the best phenomenon exist
ing for the study of the habits and
idiosyncrasies of the molecule.
Scientists now claim, on the
strength Of the experiment made by
Sir James Dewar, that when a soap
bubble becomes very old, say in three
or four days, it offers the only pos
sible example Of the molecule visible
to the naked eye. Most parts Of the
bubble r estimated to consist of
about n hundred layers of molecules.
But by various methods of treatment
the bubble is induced to perform
stunts" until in black spots which
appear it represents only a single lay
er of molecules.
Remarkable Strength.
This layer Is so thin that Sir James
estimates 1t would take one and one
third million like 1t, superimposed, tc
make an inch. Yet, when the soap bub-
BILE is permitted to mature in air that
has been freed of its natural enemies,
it is so strong that it will support
drops Of water many times its own
weight before breaking. Sometimes q
bubble is torn from it's supporting ring
by the weight before the molecules re-
lease their bulldog grip.

Washington.-The beneficial effects
OF the migratory bird treaty act are
beginning to be felt. The United States
department of agriculture, through its
bureau Of biological survey, has CON
Quoted investigations Of the breeding
areas of ducks in North Dakota and
Nebraska. Compared with former
years, a gratifying increase of breed

Dakota, Is evident. The fifth annual
series of counts Of birds of all species
breeding on selected areas in various
parts Of the United States contained a

little French daughter-in-law to cook

The other evening she was showing
her how to cook oatmeal and how to
stir 1t with a spoon.
"You stir it, Josephine" she told
her. "Remember-stir."
A few minutes later the family dog
walked into the kitchen wagging his

regarded him a minute, and then said !:
