The airplane has played an i'm
portant part in the discovery Of
radium in the Great Bear Lake re-
gion of Canada, says the Scientific
American. The conservative ele-
ment of the mining profession has
always scoffed at the idea that
riches were to be found far up in
this wild country-'the great be-
yond," as it is affectionately re-
ferred to in mining circles.
Strange characteristics of geology
and archaeology have been brought
to light when the aerial route has
been substituted for the beaten path.
The explanation is simple. From the
vantage point of an airplane, watch
a farmer, on brisk autumn morn
ing as the sun strikes the front of
the fields and turns it into sparkling
dewdrops.
A farmers footprints as he
crosses the fields are plainly visible,
although from the ground they could
scarcely be distinguished. Just so

TIPS tc
Gardeners
Get Flowers Earlier

GARDENERS can get earlier
~ bloom from many flowers by
starting them indoors from seed
and setting the plants in the open
soil when frost danger is past.
Plant seeds of the following in
doors about six weeks before the
plants are to be set out: Dolphin
ium. pink, gaillardia, lobelia, my
osotis, pansy, Iceland poppy, sal
via, stock and verbena.
A week or two later the follow
ing can be sown indoors: Agera-
tun, snapdragon, aster, dahlia,
nicotiana, petunia, phlox drum
mondi, salpiglossis, scabiosa and
yinca roSea.
Seed may be procured at your
corner store sufficiently early 10

With a number of popular flow
ers, however, there is no advan-
:age to be gained by early start
ing indoors. according to Gilbert
Bentley, flower expert of the
Ferry Seed Institute.
In this class are sweet alyssum,
calendula, calloipsis, candytuft,

Nation Celebrates
25Oth Anniversary
Swedenborg's Birth

AMAZING as 1t seems that one
"A mind could encompass so many
varied realms Of knowledge, never
theless IL Is true that Emanuel
Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary
Of whose birth Is being celebrated
this year, made important contribu-
tons in many fields Of science, theo-
retical and practical, in statesman
ship, philosophy, and religion.
In 1716-1718 he published the first
scientific periodical in Sweden, con-
tanning records of his mechanical
inventions and mathematical dis
coveries, which included the first
airplane design to have fixed wings
and moving propeller, the first air.
pump to employ mercury, and the
description of a method for determin-
ing latitude and longitude at sea by
observations of the moon among the
stars. In the @Principia," a work on
physics and cosmology, he arrived
at the nebular hypothesis theory be-
fore Kant and Laplace. He was $50
years ahead of any other scientist
In his works on the functions of the
brain and spinal cord, and on the
functions of the ductless glands.
Swedenborg served as an active
member Of the parliament of his
country for more than fifty years,
introducing fiscal reforms and much
general legislation.
At the age of fifty-five Emanuel
Swedenborg discontinued his scien-
tific pursuits and began his work as
a theologian, publishing the "Arcana
Coelestia, Apocalypse Explained;
Heaven and He'll; "Four Doc
trines"; 'Divine Love and Wisdom;
Divine Providence; Apocalypse
Revealed; @Conjugal Love-; "True

given here calls for medium
thick white sauce, but instead of
making it you may prefer to use
a can of cream of mushroom, pea,
or celery soup. The soup adds
flavor and eliminates the task Of
making sauce. If you use he
soup, heat it with the cheese and
serve over the asparagus on toast.

2 cups milk tips

Melt the butter, add the flour,
and stir until smooth. Add the
milk and cook until thick, stirring
constantly. Add the cheese and
season with salt and pepper. Heat
the asparagus tips in their own
liquid until they are hot. Arrange
the tips on the toast and serve
with the hot cheese sauce.
