agency's policy of naming It's

Rigid Sphere Planned
Explorer-l9 will be a follow
on experiment in a series that
started in August. 1860. with
I the launching of the 100-foot
balloon Echo. A second DRIFTING
balloon, a twin Of the newest
one, was launched in February,
1861, as Explorer-9. A 135-foot
rigid sphere is scheduled for
launching early in 1864.
Unlike Echo and Explorer-9,
this weeks satellite will be in
an orbit Of pronounced north
south inclination. On each
orbit 1t will go as far north as
Thule. Greenland, and as far
south as McMurdo Sound. Ant
arctica. This is made possible
by the Pacific launching, with
clear shot to the south.
Echo was launched at Caoe
Kennedy, Fla, and Explorer
9 at Wallops Island. Va. The
inclination Of each was limited,
and hence observations could
not be made Of the satellites

tudes.

Echo, the largest satellite
ever launched in terms Of its
dimensions, was also the most
susceptible to drag. Its weight
to-area ratio was only a frac-
ton of an ounce to the square
foot. while the tiny Vanguard
satellite of early 1858 weighed
several pounds per square foot.
The polka dots on the new
satellite are for heat balance.

Expect Rise In
Twin Births

An increase is expected in the
percentage Of twins in the
worlds population, according to
an article in the current Today's S
Health magazine, published by
the American Medical Associa-
tiOn.
s'With the rise of modern med
|icine, many premature twins are
saved who would have been lost
in the past" the article said.
"Since the tendency to have twins
is Inherited, and more twins are
being saved, it seems inevitable
that the percentage of twins in
the total population will rise
slowly but steadily"
There's considerable variation
in the rate of twin births
throughout the world, the article
pointed out. In the United States,
it said, the rate is in every
Sc live births but in Denmark
it is ! in every 60 while twin
ming is rare in Japan. Even with
in the United States, 1t said,
there are geographical diff
ferences with a rate of l in
every 66 births in Kentucky and
in every 123 in Nevada.
After one set of twins, the
chances of a mother having an
other set zoom to about five
times the national average, or
! in II live births, the article
said.
Twins definitely do "run in
the family" it was pointed out.
In this respect, the article said,
there is evidence that the
worlds record mother may have
been an Austrian woman who re-
portedly bore SO children, in
cluding four sets of quadruplets,
seven sets of triplets and 16
sets of twins.
Discussing various types of
twins, the article said identical
twins, who develop from one
egg, are not really identical but
their similarities are amazing.
For example, differences can be
detected in their handwriting and

cillin does. It is not known
whether or not all honey from
all parts of the country con-
tain this "germ fighter" but it
is present in some perhaps
all.
It is reassuring to know that
this natural product can't be
altered without affecting its ap-
pearance. If water is added to
honey the honey will ferment.
If cheap syrup is used for dilu-
tion, the two substances will
separate into distinct layers. So
you can be confident that pure
honey is almost always pure
honey.

Speaking Of Insects

It's not always the clothes
moth which chews holes In
stored clothing. In fact, the odds
are that It's one Of the carpet
beetles. Sometimes the carpet
beetles are called 'buffalo
MOTHS" but they are beetles,
not moths.
AS with the clothes moth, It's
the young or larval stage of
the carpet beetles that does the
damage. These larvae are COW
cred with fuzzy bristles and vary
from slender to fat In appear
ance, depending on the species.
The adults are small beetles
that are either mottled with
white, yellow, brown and black
or they are pure black. When
the infestation is heavy, you may
see some of the larvae crawl
ing across the floor.
Probably their create st
damage is done to upholstered
furniture and wall-to-wall car
peting. Some control Of carpet
beetles can be obtained by
thorough cleaning, but this is i'm
practical If you have wall to wall
carpeting. Spot treating of car
pets with 2& chlordane will pro-
tect the treated areas. Don't use
chlordane over the whole rug -
Its toxicity IS too great to apply
on large portions Of the rug. If
you have a severe infestation
consult a pest control operator.
Infested furniture should be
sprayed several times with a
