Strange But True

I: I. ll. Ilncarthur One aspect of the future we don't

have to ymrry about it is the amount

of it. There's just as much of it

ahead as there ever was-unless

the if-bomb brings civilisation to its knees.

"A strange new weapon" in the form of an "intense killing cold" is apparently Russia's latest new device. Jet planes can fly at 2000 feet and spray the earth with an "artifically produced killing cold" so as to freeze all vegetation and animals. Intelligence Digest (l"eb.i says this new weapon was first tested out last year. "It could be used against troops in the field." It is believed that German scien- tists had developed the "killing cold" before the end of World War II. Is it not a sad commentary on civilisaztion that at a time when mankind were hoping for freedom from fear there should be a new source and cause of fear on top of fear.

Did you know that the brier rab- bit carries a rear light? The tail light in this case is a patch of white on its buttocks called ii "scut when the rabbit is being pur- sued by an enemy it turns at right angles. so that the tell-tale signal is lost to view. This smart act on the part of the brier rabbit baffles both dog and hunter enabling the rabbit in make good its escape.

some kinds of deer also show white buttocks and like the brier ravbbit they turn at right angles to throw their enemies off the trail.

The arctic fox turns white in winter, but not our Island fox. and in England there are only three creatures-a bird and two mam- mals-which chahge their suits to white in winter.

A frog goes into his hibernating quarters backwards and there, with its nose to the entrance, goes quickly to sleep, not waking until the spring UfllP.&9 of course. there is misleading warmth quite early in the year.

No farmer should despise the humble little mole. Why? Because it eats more inserts for its size than any other animal.

There is a widespread belief that a cat washing behind its cars is a sign of rain. As to tabby's ablu- tions I will say no word, as cats are very wise creatures.

It seems to be the instinct of the nightingaie to sing more loudly when there is any sound it does not understand. This is to attract the attention oi enemies away from its heat. The truth of the above statement was brought home to the people of England during the height of the German blitz. A correspondent described how. above the terrible din of the enemy planes

and the guns below. the nightin- each roll of thcl

gales answered guns with a glorious burst of song. Thus history repeats itself. for

l have heard soldiers of the First

World Way say that when they

fought in Flanders" Field the song

of the nightingale could be dis- tinctly heard amid the guns below. In

when the very earth seemed in be- mnviilsedbv the hi-lching guns and . bark of trees.

During hibernation snakes "cud- dle" together, often in large num- bers, for warmth. But the hedge- hog sleeps alone, perhaps be cause he snoresl

Did you know that the Fall leave- taking of our swallows cov- ers several weeks. The line up of birds we see on the telephone wires are the first migrants or con- tingent, oonsisting mainly of young fry reared earlier in the season. Their fathers and mothers are busy with second broods. and in warm, open Fall will produce a third. This is why we still see swallows in October.

It is a most interesting sight to watch swallows sitting on tele- phone md other wires before mi-I gration. Why? Because if you lis- ten and keep your eyes open you'll be rewarded in many ways. Older swallows and the parents take time out from their regular duties to pop morsels of food into they mouths of these deck chair youngs- lers who keep up an incessant chatter. One morning they will be on their perch, the next gone, and then we know that ”summer de- parts on swallow wings."

You never ask a person to re- ipeat a question if you know the answer when you first hear it.

The real old-timers, the pioneers of Prince Edwaid Island-I mean those hardy men who carved for themselves and future generations homes from the wilderness and known as pioneers-are fast be- coming extinct, The world is not breeding that kind of mortals any- more, snd, as no replacements are forthcoming. nobody comes to the Island to live and build a home here by uproting stumps in the Million Acre Farm for himself and his offspring.

The high price of coffee is not :bothering blind C-haries Oxar, '78, of Miami, Florida. Why? Be- cause he grows his own in his back yard. y

Oxar began his coffee growing venture at the end of the Second war when his son. W110 W35 in the navy. brought home a few coffee plants from Brazil.

The case of the crazy moose is cguging quite a dither among biologists of the conservation de- partment in Nova Scotia. It seems that mad moose are infested with ticks that simply drive the animal off their beam.

The male hardhead catfish car- -ries eggs in its mouth until the baby fish are hatched and then carries the baby fish until they are about three inches long.
