crisis in the coal industry, with
thousands unemployed and tens of
thousands more on part time only,
the coal miners are preparing for

They are fighting for the 6-hour

men by machines and speed-up with
out unemployment insurance. They
demand a S35' a week minimum

 There has already been established at the reindeer station near Falranhs sizable herd of buffalo, which seems to find the climate suitable, and which is showing a satisfactory increase. There are, as is well known, herds of buffalo in several of the national parks of the United States. and, with the present outlook, there is no reason to apprehend the extinction of the American bison.

 lible enough to believe that cabalistic incantations can precipitate a shower. Yet chemical engineering has developed a thoroughly practical method of enticing moisture from the atmosphere. True, the method is not adequate for the farmers horticul- tural needs, but it is extremely efficient for settling dust on dirt and gravel roads, and thus a boon to motorists and residents along the highway.
 Calcium chloride is named by the Scientific American as the substance which coaXes moisture from the air, even on the brightest days of Summer. This snowy white chemical has the property that chemists call "deIiques- ccnce,", which simply means that it has a strong chemical affinity for water, and will attract it from the surround ing air, even when the latter is con- paratively "dry." This property has long been known, but it is only re- gently that chemical engineering has made calcium chloride available in the inexpensive, convenient form suitable for spreading on dusty roads. It is said that two applications during the dry Summer months will settle the dust as efficiently as would light shower every day.

Is the Planet Mars Really Ruled by c Race of Beauers?

American Museum ot Natural History, New York City, said recently, would be some indication of artificial light on the planet Undoubtedly, lighted cities on Mars could be seen through the tele- scopes now in use.
 However, as MT. EIway points out, there Is one condition that prevents satisfactory and conclusive observa- ton. When Mars is closest to the earth, both planets are on the same side of the sun. Then only the sunlit side of Mars Is seen. To see any part of the night side of Mars observation must be made when it is part way around in its orbit toward the far side of the sun, so that slice of both the dark and the lighted sides can be seen.
 When even part of the night side is visible, Mars is relatively far away and difficult 10 sec clearly. The Martians, if there are any, would not have equal difficulty in observing the dark side of the earth, for when the two planets are nearest to each other, the earth is show ing Mars its dark side.
 These consequences of the orbits in which the two planets move might make it difficult for the dim glow of lighted Martian villages, were any such in ex- istence, to be detected from the earth. Cities as bright as New York or Paris. on the other hand, undoubtedly would be visible
 Other students of the subject, how ever. say it is possible that Martian civilization may correspond to that of an earlier, pre-artificial light era on earth. In any case, astronomers agree that there is a practical certainty that Mars possesses kinds of life below hu- man intelligence.

even to guess the form of this life germ. It may, perhaps, have drifted, as tiny living spores, from planet to planet, whirled through space by the pressure of light.
 Whatever it's form, the life-germ, biologists assume. probably developed on Mars, much as it did on earth, in oceans which have evaporated in the course of ages.
 The theory that Martian life evolved along lines similar to those followed by evolution of life on earth is supported by at least one definite fact Careful spectroscopic studies at Mt. Wilson Ob- servatory, near Pasadena, Calf, and elsewhere have disclosed that gaseous oxygen exists in the Martian atmos- phere. The presence of oxygen gas is highly significant, since the only known way in which any planet can obtain . supply of this gas is through the life activities of plants.
 Following the lead of the great cx- pert in Martian astronomy, the late Professor Percival Lowell, astronomers long have recognized on Mars dark colored spots and markings which are believed to be plains or valleys covered with vegetation. The oxygen which spectroscopes show in the Martian air Is taken as another proof that this vegetation exists

How Butter Was

 thousands of years ago. and dis covered butter. This important event was one of those fortunate accidents that have contributed so much to the progress of man. It happened like this, according to James A. Toby, writing in Hygeia:
 When the horseman started he had with him a goatskin filled with sour milk. The journey was long and rough, the day moderately hot. When he reached his destination and dis mounted, seeking to appease hunger and thirst, the Aryan was bewildered to find something in his goatskin that was unlike the milk he started with.
 With some trepidation, for the acts of the gods were often mysterious in those days, he tasted the yellow mass. Then he tasted it again, for it was good. He told other herdsmen. who probably scoffed at him as fool, as is customary when new benefits are announced, but eventually they, too tried the product of the galloping churn.
 Soon the tribe was making butter hanging up the goatskins filled with sour milk and beating them with sticks or shaking them until the golden mass appeared. That is the way but ter is made to this day in some parts of the world.

THAT animals feed upon plants
 every one takes for granted, but
 that there arc some plants which feed upon animal-lifc is quite a diff ferent story. If the great Darwin called Dionaea the most wonderful plant in the world" he might better have termed it the most savage plant on earth" for it has proved its blood- thirstinesa wherever found.
 Originally Dionaea muscipuIa, more popularly known as Venus f!y-trap," was discovered in North Carolina, and it was at first doubted that this or any other plant could live upon insects chiefly, but later study of its habits has proved beyond peradventure that this is the great cannibal plant, with an almost unappeasable appetite for flies, spiders, beetles or any other insects which are so stupid as to alight upon
New Britain herald., 1930-12-06

ants or beetles firmly and securely. If the insect is less than one-tenth of an inch thick it can make its escape, but woe betde any that is the least bit thicker, for it has buzzed its last flight in the open air.
 The leaves are covered with "trig- ger" hairs, and when any insect touches one of these an impulse is transferred instantly to the heart of the leaf, so that all parts act together in sudden closure. When the leaf has closed, the insect is held in the leaf. which now acts as the stomach of the plant, for the prey is at once bathed in a digestive fluid which soon digests and absorbs the entire insect.

THE United States Department of
 Agriculture has newly pur-
 chased in Greenland thirty musk oxen, which are to be shipped to the town of Fairbanks, Alaska. The aim in view is to restock Alaska with these dwarf wild cattle. which formerly were fairly numerous in that Territory. but which are no longer found there, having been wiped out by ruthless slaughter. They are de- sirable animals. their meat being ex- cellent for food.
 It is not intended to domesticate them in Alaska. The small herd of thirty is to be set at liberty near Fairbanks, where there is a reindeer station. Rigid enforcement of game laws is expected to give the musk oxen requisite protection. Other ship ments from Greenland are contem- plated, and the natural increase of the

its sensitive tentacles. Strangely enough it is not the blossom, but the leaf that catches the struggling insects and holds them until thoroughly digested.
 A late investigation of the insects caught by fifty leaves of this plant showed that within a few hours they had trapped not less than ten wasps and large ants, nine flies, nine spiders and beetles and thirteen other insects. Most remarkable of all, Dionaea works so expertly as to permit very small in sects to escape. while holding the larger ones for its sustenance. It seems almost like the expert trout fisherman who throws back the small fry that they may grow large enough to be worthy of his skill.
 Dionaea performs this remarkable feat by closing gradually, leaving small crevices by which the smaller insects may creep out, while holding the larger
