This unique picture was obtained above 96' per cent of the 4nasa of tha earth's atmosphere, and ia the first photograph ever made with tha line of sight from the camera to a far-distant objective (the arc of the dust horizon) wholly tn tha stratosphere. Major Stevens also made the first natural-color photograph in the stratosphere, et an altitude of approximately eight miles above sea leveL Japanese Stones Crying Japanese stones are free to complain. "If you kappas to hear," says the Japan Times Weekly, "a strange wailing sound when traveling through the * district! around Fujiyama . . . you'll be surprised that it is the poor stones crying because they have no place to go.' The explanation is that the* pieces of ancient lavk are prized as garden stones and mahy t? be tranaportedfand garden stones deemed a- luxury. - - Florida Note, Coldest Spot Is in California Not long ago a man dropped an orange in Santa Monica, Calif., and the citrus fruit shattered into a million pieces because it was frozen so solid. The man who dropped the orange was wearing sheepskin underwear and an air-tight suit of leather. His head was covered with a helmet fashioned of spun aluminum and welded to the shoulders of his insulated outfit. . And since the air he stood in j might huve given him pneumonia if ! he had breathed it, an ingenious 1 valve in his suit brought air that had been warmed by his body up to his nostrils. The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce does not deny this story because tire most frigid spot on the North American continent is in the so-called cold room of the Douglas Aircraft factory in that community. The temperature in this room is controlled by a mechanism which eliminates heat so that the mercury falls as low as 104 degrees below zero. The purpose of the cold room is to reproduce the weather conditions under which men and planes must function at great altitudes. The test pilots at the Douglas airplane plant have found out that, at 35,000 feet, the temperature is usually about 67 degrees below zero. Long and painstaking experiments in the cold room have made it possible to know, in advance of actual flight, that motors will work in the intense cold of the upper atmosphere and th^t the men flying the ships are properly dressed for their jobs. Cat Does Not Masticate Food; Tears It Apart The cat is a carnivorous or flesheating animal. It does not masticate its food as does the herbivorous animals and as man should. Its teeth and jaws are not made for that purpose. It cannot move its lower jaw as man and herbivorous animals do?from side to side. It opens its mouth by lowering its lower jaw and closes it by raising it to the upper jaw or mandible. It uses its teeth for ^gripping, puncturing and tearing its food to the size it can swallow easily in a lump. ? As a cat does not masticate its food, the salivary glands are small, there being little demand for the saliva to mix with the food and partially predigest it before it enters the stomach, where the principal part of the digestion is carried on before it enters the intestine to undergo further digestion and assimilation. The larger and tougher the masses it swallows the longer they remain in the stomach. The dog and cat have comparatively large stomachs but somewhat rudimentary intestines. The longer the food takes for digestion, the less craving there is for food until the next feeding time approaches. Metal Finder Developed A radioscope?a strange gadget that, when unfolded, is its own transmitter and receiver, -has been invented by John Patrick Halloran, Los Angeles mechanic and air pilot. The instrument, he explained, is mounted on a pair of carrying handles between which the operator stands while carrying the instrument. When carried the transmitter floods the earth with strong radiation wavep that are balanced with respect to the receiver so that signals can be registered both in the headphones and the detectometer dial which is in front of the operator's eyes. As soon as the wave encounters metal within the earth the metal becomes energized by the radio wave and sends back a radiation of its own. This reflex, he explains, is picked up by the receiver, resulting in a loud signal in the headphones and a strong deflection of the pointer on the visual indicating instrument. ' Curb Disease It is much easier to keep plants free from disease than to control the disease when established. Go over your borders at least twice a week uprooting weeds and remove faded leaves and flowers. Plants that are prevented from going to seed oontinue to develop flowers. Better, prune your honeysuckle several times during Ha growing season. It is only by constant pruning that .it can be kept within bounds. After the fruit has formed on your currant bushes, if you notice evidence of currant worms, spray with hellebore or pyre thrum. Literally soak your lawn twice a week. Semi-weekly soaking is much better than daily sprinkling. * Smallpox Still Here Many U. S. citizens believe that smallpox was wiped out in this country decades ago. Metropolitan Life Insurance company's Statistical Bulletin recently pointed out a striking statistic: the V. S. in 1838 had over 10,000 smallpox cases. "With the single exception- of India (with almost 130,000 cases)," said the bulletin, "we still lead the civilized world in our tolerance Of this loathelome and dangerdus disease." The reaoDt failure to vaccinate. Only ten states (nine of them eist of the kHMtsslrpil compulsory vaocination Mi,, Smallpox#**re on the Atlantic seaboard, -occurs mostly vfftndiana, IoM, California, Teats, Illinois. ?V - $< r.
