Canada to Develop MuSsei.

Canada is about to make capltaJ
out Of a substitute for the oyster
which is found along the Atlantic
coast, chiefly in New Brunswick. Ii
is a musSel which is by no means q
new article of diet to the people OF
Canada. It's delicacy Of flavor and
bish food vallte have been much ad
vertiSed since the establishment OF
government investigation and experl-
ment. A survey of the mussel BEDS OF
the st. Croix river. which constitutes
the boundary between New Brulls-
wick and Maine. has occupied the at
tention OF a scientist Of the council
for three years, and it is expected
that this year will see the sansfac-
tory conclusion Of the research. The
sea musSel cannot be produced III
fresh water, so that there is 10 pos
sibiliry of developing an industry IN
the Great Lakes. 1t is believed that
there are possibilities, however, OF the
d..vp]opmpnt of freSl-Water clans
there in the near future.

Flying Gas Cloud.

A cloud Of glowing gas has been
discovered flying through space at a
speed of 1925 miles per second.
Readers may be relieved to know
that it is travelling away from US, but
even if it were coming our way there
would be nothing to fear as many
thousands, perhaps millions, Of years
nlnSt elapse before it could reach us.
How it manages to remain intact
while travelling at such dizzy speed
is a mystery Equally mysterious is
the manner in which it was able to
get up such speed.
The most probable explanations are
that It has been shot from some gi-
cantic sun belonging to a universe OF
stars far beyond those we can see, or
that it is a gradual accumulation OF
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
around US at night.

SUGAR From Corn Stalks.

Investigating the sugar production
os. corn stalks, P. Vieiland, French
chemist, has found that the stem of
the maize plant normally contains no
suerose.:ser cane sugar. and very little
dextrose or grape sugar. If the ears
are removed when the, grain begins
to, be. milky, however. sugars ac6l-
mulate in the stem, and in 10 81
days after removal of the ears the
extractable amounts may reach TO
10 per cent of sucrose and l to )
per cent of deYtrose. While not
more slian one-third of the sucrose can
be obtained in crystalhzable form, this
is. .immaterial in the production of a!co-
boL. It is calculated that $50 gallons
Of alcohol per acre of maize crop can
De produced. The growth Of the
plants is fairly rapid. and the period
between planting and the gathering
Of fhe stems would be about 400 days.

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER
Europe, Exhausted by War, Must
Yield First Place in Medical and
Surgical Supremacy.

World leadership in medicine and
surgery no longer is. in Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States. as one OF the results Of war.
50 Dr.. George W. Grille Of Clevel;
stated IN his address to the Americas
College of Surgeons in convention al
St. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal. This country made enor-
nous contributions in all branches OF
medicine and surgery during the war;
he pointed out, being particularly we'll
equipped to render that important
service because oi the research ana
development work that have been SO
conspicuous in the field OF Sclentlhc
medicine here during the last quarter
Of a century.
With the end of the war European
nations are exhausted and have linn
tied resources and little Of spirit to
60 ahead with that important work.
while this country has resources With
out limit and spirit equal to the op-
portunity. Europe is all topSy tufVy,
its famous old medical schools are
shaken, its great hospitals are eS-
hausted, it's professional life shocked
and wearied. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
when he says: The torch, all but
gone out, has been handed us because
we alone are left the means to lSh'
the way" 1t was his thought that the
medical schools and research institu-
tions of the land be supplied with
every resource. their work broadened
and requirements raised, that the
World war opportunity may be devel-
oped and the problems Of the future
met successfully.

TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS
Not Always Easy to Trace th, Con.
nection, Though Sometimes 1t Is
Plainly Apparent.

There are quite a number CT tools
which are named aftas animals, and il
is interesting to find out the connection
between the instrument and the animal
after which it is named. In some cases
the connection Of ideas is evident and
it is obvious why the tool is SO nulred,
observes Il writer in London Answers.
The monkey wrench.' for instance,
which is a Spanner with movable
jaw. capable Of adjustment, can, by
a little stretch of imagination, be
thought to possess some likeness to d
monkeys profile and, true, it deals
with nuts
The donkey engine" which is ca
pable of lifting great, weights, may be
considered similar in disposition to
the animal noted for its stubbornneSs
and strength. We can see hcw the
mechanical crane" got its name. IL
the distance it looks somewhat ike
that long-necked and lons-legSed bird.
1t is also natural ihat III country
like the United States. where large
herds of cattle are found roaming
wild the wedgeshaped iron frame IN
front of a locomotive should be
called "cow catcher" The carpenters
horse is naturally so called because
1t has to carry SO much on its back.
The derivation Of the tailor's goose
is not very evident, but no doubt some
!0ng-forgotten. imaginative and pOetl-
cally minded tailor, in q burst OF in
spiration. called his smoothing iron
a goose" and the name has been used
ever since by his more practical sue
ceSS6rs.
The trivet used to support q vesseI
over the fire, with its long, thin legs,
is naturally called a spider, and 1t
is obvious why spiral instrument or
iron screw is called ''worm." Also
we can all see why the large iron
poker which, being made red hot, is
used for lighting fires, is called a
"salamander."
1t is not easy, however, to see the
connection between crab-a' nat,
clumsy animal-and the pillar used
as winch; and why a capstan is
called a "crab" is difficult to imagine.
Again, the bar of iron sharpened ct
one end and used as lever for rails
ing weights is named "crowbar,' for
no evident reason, and | would
gladly take my hat off to the man or
woman who can explain to me the
derivation of the name "bucksaW,
"catboat" and "bullwheel."

Forestry in the Canal zone.

The. cooperation of the boys of the
Canal zone, is requested in protecting
tFees and shrubbery from damage.
a few days ago some children used

Some other children have broken
limbs of the wild almond trees on

Wireless Storm Warnings.

American mariners are to receive
storm warnings by wireless from al!
parts of the world under arrangements
perfected by the shipping board with
most Of the high-power radio stations
in different countries. Managing agents
and masters of shipping board vessels
were notified that the warnings would
be sent broadcast on schedules fur
nished by the ships radio operators.
Because of the number of vessels still
on the seas without radio equipment,
the warnings are to be passed On from
ships receiving them by other means
when such vessels are ighted.-Scien-

,copper and Calcium ip the Air.

1t is reported that Prof. Hartley OF
Dublin has photographed, in ordinary
air, spectroscopic lines due, among
other things, to copper and calcium. 1t
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting Of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and the
sparks of trolley wires. 1t is from
lhe latter that copper is supposed to
come. The quantity Of copper thus
found is excessively slight. Indeed it
Is only the delicacy of the tests that
renders it appreciable. Lines due TO
lead, carbon, iron, manganese, nickel
and magnesium have also been de-
tected, but the quantity of these sub
stances is even less than that OF the
calcium and copper, the lines OF which
are always prominent i'll the Spectra.

on ii, then massagcd it; then she lay
down and relaxed for an hour.
After that she manicped her nails.
rubbed cold cream into her face, addef
powder and rouge, then little moro
powder, arranged her permanently
waved hair and donned her silhen gar
mentS.
She looked at herself long and
earnestly, turning slowly around be-
fore the long pier glass. She was
well satisfied with herself. She was
a trife larger, rather mature, but not
old looking, not in the least.
She crossed the ballroom floor, LOOK
inc proud and regal. The mothers
sighed in envy, the young society buds
trembled in alright, and the women
of her own age felt very old and
faded. The men one by one gathered
around her.
One of the Youngest set came up
and she thought him calloW ana
crude; ladies' man of her fathers
age drew near and she thought him
silly and childish; q man just old
enough for her, rich, talented and sue
cessfu. showed his admiration of her,
but. she thought him conceited anu
tiresome.
She stood before the pier glass
agaiL. She looked young and she was
beautiful-but all men bored her.
She knew she was old.-katherine
