The full. majesty of the aerial per-

Is shut off from view. In flying on an
overcast day, when heavy banks of
cumulous clouds lie at 5000 feet, 1t Is
Possible to experience within a minute
or two every degree Of fog and sun
shine When one is passing. into the
clopds- the lower surfaces Of which
are almost perfectly fiat, there Is an
instantaneous transition from shadow
to complete atmospheric opacity,
similar in appearance to a dense fog
at tho ground. but differing somewhat
from it in feeling, for the interior
of a cloud seems to be drier, the air
less saturated with water vapor, than
the fOgs which are met with at sea
or ashore. If the climb Is continued
q few hundred feet farther, the air
plane passes again into clear air, but
into air now of a clarity and bright
ness worthy of Mediterranean skies

Preserving Fruit'ln Transit.

In an attempt to evolve methods of
preventing the spoilage Of fruits and
vegetables by freezing while in transit
or storage, the Department Of Agricul-
ture is conducting thousands Of expert
ments at the Arlington Va.) labOra-
tories, to determine at what tempera-
lures these products freeze. The expert
mental apparatus, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, consists Of a
large tank in which brine is circulated.
and thermocouples which possess the
peculiar property Of generating weak
and variable currents of electricity
when they are subjected to changes
in temperature. These variations are
registered by delicate meters. 50
sensitive are the thermOcouples that
they will detect a difference OF
temperature of .O001 degree. In ser
vice, test specimen Of fruit and
thermocouple are placed in one of
twelve cups in the lid Of the brine
tank. BY watching the specimen and
the meter closely the exact tempera-
ture at which freezing begins Is de-
termined with great accuracy.

Why Many Are Color Blind.

London Quakers and East End Jews
are said to be more liable TO color
blindness than any other people, re-
ports the London News. Prof. Henri
NJ Leon told the color circle of the
Interna ional College of Chromatics
that this may be because the original
Quakers' were opposed to brilliant
colors, and because of the poor envi-
rOnment in which many Jews have
had to live.
Men are more subject to color blind
ness than women, he said. Four men
in every 100 are so afflicted, but only
one woman in every POO is color blind
probably because women are used
to brilliantly colored clothes. There
is no cure for inherited color blind
ness.
Professor Leon said there were
three kinds of color blindness-fail-
ure to distinguish color at all, the
confusion of red with green, black and
brown and the failure to distinguish
shades, such as blue and violet.

forests by the Chinese is, according
to foresters Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, one Of the
reasons why famine and plague today
hold this nation in their sinister grasp
Denudation, wherever practiced,
leaves naked soil; floods and erosion
follow, and when the soil is gone men
must also gO-and the process does
not take long. Forests, it is pointed
out, not only play an important part
in the distribution of mankind over
the earth's surface, but also deeply
affect his spiritual, physical, and eco
nomic life. A country that recklessly
wastes it's natural resources faces ulti-
mate poverty and decadence. History
is full of such examples.
In the province Of Holman, Shensi,
and Cfihli, China, over an area some
100000 square miles in extent, several
million people are starving. The i'm
mediate causes of the famine were
disastrous floods followed by long Pc
RODS Of drought, which resulted in the
failure of three successive crops.

Japan,s God of Wealth.

More than 10000 Japanese residents
of Toxic, called at the shrine of
Ebisu, God of Wealth, on the out
skirts of Osaka, before noon on the
japanese New Years day. They
knocked on the walls of the shrine
with wooden mallets and called upon
the God to bring them riches during
the coming year. All the gods of
Japan probably receive more homage
January 10 than any other day of
the year, that being the first special
gods day of the calendar. Ebisu is
very popular In the Osaka district the
rich industrial section Of the empire.
In Tokyo, although he has several
shrines, the japanese place more faith
in the power of Otorijinsha to bring
them fortune.

People Hard to Reach.

How much remains to be done be-
fore we shall have a complete knowl-
edge Of the inhabitants of our planet
is indicated by the failure of an ex-
petition from the American Museum
Of Natural History to get into COM
munication with the Naskapi Indians
of Labrador, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The summer the ex-
petition was undertaken It was sup
posed that these natives could be
reached by way Of the west coast Of
Labrador, but 1t was found to be i'm
possible In winter they go to Mitch
equen, in the interior, f1fty-five days
journey by canoe from Rupert House
on East Main river.
