Alaska Has Odd Geese

A race of dark-complexioned wild
geese reside in the coastal region of
British Columbia and southeastern
Alaska. They are similar in general
appearance and size to their better
Known relative, the Canada goose
o. 'honker," but differ in being very
much darker. They are known as
the white-cheeked goose. Apart
from the difference in coloration be-
tween these two races of geese there
are differences in habit also, the
most important being that of mi
grafton. The Canada goose makes
long annual journeys to and from its
nesting grounds; some raise their
young on James bay and spend the
winter on the Gulf of Mexico. The
white-cheeked goose, on the other
hand, may spend the entire year, or
even all its lifetime in the same
region.

Static Electricity Is
the Oldest Kind Known

Static is the oldest kind of cleo
tricity known, notes a writer in the
New York Times. Our word "elec-
tricity" comes from the Greek
"electron," meaning amber. Rub
amber, as the Greeks did, and it
becomes electrically charged. Then
touch it and the charge is drawn off
in little spark. So with dry fur,
glass, resin, wax, scores of materi-
ais.
Two positively electrified or two
negatively electrified bodies repel
each other. But positives and mega
tives attract Franklin gave US this
e stinction between positive and
.aagative.
Static electricity is like water on
a rubber ball in that it clings to the
surface. Just as a rubber ball can
eather only so much water, so a
ball of glass or resin can collect
only SO much static electricity. II
more electricity accumulates than
the surface can hold, there is what
the physicists call a brush dis
charge, meaning a leaking away
into the air. If the excess is great,
the leaking may manifest itself in
visible glow.
Until Volta in 1900 invented the
cell which we use in our batteries
the only kind Of electricity that sci
ence knew was static. Out of Voltas
cell came not just one burst Of
electricity but a steady stream. Aft
er that science began to talk of dy-
manic or continuously flowing elec-
tricity. When at last the electric
generator followed Faraday's dis
covery Of induction it was naturally
caned a dynamo-short for "dyna-
mo electric machine"

How to Have More Trivial Accidents
By Don Herold

a better chance oil being kjIl,d than
sober pedestrian psr accident
There hes been lot OF loose talk
about the safety Of driving fast. A
lot of people think that II is all right
to drive fast If they drive careful"
But the figures show that the rate OF
death per accident which involves
exceeding the speed limit IS much
worse than the average death rate for
all accidents due to improper driving
practices.
Places, too. have lot to do with the
violence OF your accident The rate
of death per accident on highways
and at rural intersections is more than
200 per cent greater than on city
streets.
Time plays a part, also. The death
rate per accident after dark is about
90 per cent worse than during daylight.
May all your accidents be little ones,
and they're more apt to be little if
you know about and avoid these
deadlier spets and practices.

At first mainsprings were made

The best q these devices was the
