tCALMON loaf" a paste made by mix

ingredients, is now put up in cans for mar
kct by several packers on the Pacific coast.
One leading packer is canning a straight
salmon" paste, with admixture of oil and
spices. IN.
A cannery on Chilkoot inlet, Alaska. IS
putting UP smoked salmon shaved to thin
strips, like dried beef, and packed in oh.
1t is exceedingly palatable, and specially
good for sandwiches.
Another canning concern at Point Rob-
erts is packing salmon fish balls. which are
prepared by. grinding the fish fine, cooking
and seasoning with spices. They have only
to be warmed over to be ready to eat.
A Seattle firm has been experimenting
with the manufacture Of wienerwurst sau-
saees from salmon and halibut. Another
company, on the Columbia River put up
in cans so-called fish pudding" made BY
grinding salmon flesh and mixing it with
milk and eggs. 1t did not prove a success
commercially
A market for much Of the waste Of the
salmon fisheries has been found with farm
ers and poultrymen, who are demanding
great quantities of fish meal and scrap for
mixing with other feed for cattle, hogs and
chickens. This fish food causes animals to
take on weight rapidly.

Expanding the Universe

VERY recent discoveries have convinced
astronomers that the stellar universe
which we call the Milky Way is, far larger
than was hitherto supposedly fact, that it
is more than 100, 900 times as big.
It has the form of a fattened disc, like a,
watch Though much thinner in proportion
to wi5th),; Its thickness being about 400O
light years and its diameter 300 900 light
years. A light year, be it understood, rep.
resents the distance which a ray of light,
travelling 1876, 900 miles a second, will cover
in twelve months.
Hitherto it has been believed that our sun
was not far from the center of the universe
of stars but now this is declared an error.
The center of gravity of the whole sidereal
system appears to be in the constellation
Sagittarius, SO far away that a ray of light
would require 10000 years to reach us from
there. III 's; = -

What Volcano
Throws Out

A VOLCANO-let us say Stromboli, which
"A just now is making a lot of trouble
elects materials Of various kinds.
One of these is water. 1t is the last thing
we should expect a burning mountain to
produce, but, as a matter of fact. volcanoes
voinit enormous quantities of water. formed
by the cooling and consequent condensation
of gases rising through the vent pipe.
Volcanic dust, thrown high into the air
during an eruption. is so finely divided that
much of it will float in the upper levels of
the atmosphere for years. It's particles seem
mostly to be minute bubbles, hollow inside.
Together with w~ateR--Eolcanoes emit vast
quantities of mud, which, hardening into
rock. form what is called ''tuH"-a friable
material which in~parts of our own West
covers great areas to a depth of thousands
Of feet.
A familiar volcanic product is pumice,
which is SO porous, and therefore so light
in weight, that it will float on water. An
other is obsidian, or volcanic glass;" a
substance of the same chemical composition
as pumice, but extremel>1 hard, being Of high
density. '
Typical of the %''eruptive'' rocks, repre-
senting material thrown up from the depths,
is granite. Such rocks are practically im-
pervious to water, whercaS the sedimentary
rocks-sandstones, limcstones and shales-.
are sufficiently porous to ALLOW water to
pcrcolatc through them. 1t is these sedi,1
mcntary rocks that contain the so called
pools" of petroleum, usually with water
underlying the oil.

Just What What Happens
When Y I a Body Dies

The death struggle" OF death agony
is an imaginary phenomenon. Convulsive
movements usually occur toward the last,
but they are mere nervous reactions Of
which the dying person is unconscious. A
last illness may be painful, but death is
painless. Is
One person in every 1000 dies a natural
death-that is to say, of old age. The re-
naming 900 die Of disease.
II often happens in extreme old age that
a marked weakening Of the mental faculties
is observable. Persons thus afflicted are said
to be in their ''dotage." They have TO be
cared for like small children. 1t IS a trouble
due to structural disintegration Of the brain.
which, like any other organ, is liable to
wear out. AS a matter Of fact the brain,
in these persons, wore out : before their
bodies.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-12-21

DECENT study has led Psychologists to
~ the conclusion that the brain may live
for twenty minutes or half an hour after
a person has apparently given up the
ghost"
The heart, taken out Of the body. will
continue to beat for twenty -four hours if a
stream of oxysenated blood be kept flowing
through It. III.
Death from loss Of blood is attended BY
no pain. The ancients, approaching this
fact, commonly had resort to Opening the
veins when they sought to commit suicide.
Drowning is an easy death, described by
persons who have survived the process as
''like falling asleep 1t is said to be more
painful to be resuscitated than to drown,
In the dying hour" the sense of smell
falls first; then taste, sight, touch anti
finally hearing. 81
