N>0 THE NORTHERN RAVEN

This sombre bird, with the dis. s1 voice, is not mentioned in Bsin‘: “Birds of P. E. Island," 1891. Twenty-five years later, it was be- lieved to be resident and breeding in this Province. My own observa. tion leads me to believe that lt i: slowly, very slowly, increasing. Usually it is a very shy bird. and encroachments of civilization.

The Raven and the American Crow are alike in plumage. but differ in size, the Raven being about half as large again. But size. says Dr. Taverner, "is always an uncertain criterion in the wide open spaces, and the voice is the most. certain_ guide.“ The Raven‘: note is a hoarse era-air entirely different. from the caw of the crow. If one can get near enough to see them, the "bib" of pointed feath- ers at its throat, marks the bird as the Raven. '

Ravens are found from Alaska to Greenland, and winter south- ward to the mountains in north- ern Georgia. A young Raven cap- tured in that State was kept for I year, and would eat nothing but animal matter, all kinds of vege- tables being consistently refused. Ravens, like Crows, have a bad reputation for nest-robbing.

In flight the Raven moves its wings with heavy flapping, but at times soars or sails along without apparent effort.

Northern Raven. AOU 4862. Resi- dent: prefers the wilder and more solitary localities. Plumage re- sembles that of the Crow. being black with a glossy blue reflection; but the feathers on the Ravens throat are long, narrow, and point- ed. Length of adult 26 inches.

If I had preserved all the four- leaved clover! that have been brought in, l suppose I should have from 150 to 200; for they ve been coming in for 40 years. If. however, you wish to have some- thing really scarce and good. look out for the “Peloria“ freak of the common Butter-and-EESS. 50W?" times known as the Yellow Snap- dragon (Llnarls vulgar-is). The ordinary form of this Lmaria 1!

The Peloris flower has 5 lilllf! instead of one. and the mouth 15 circular instead of labiate. (There i; a European species of Ltnaria.

delivered before the World A5- sembly of the Churches at Am- sterdam. lt ls a review of the We!‘ cnt plight of mankind, and point-v out the manner 1n which it ho! been brought about.

The social systems of modern times, said Dr. Niebuhr, had been built on two dangerous illusions. In brief these are: (1) The ides: that one can achieve some sort o stability by balancing competing self-interests of individuals within the community: and (2) Thai the main trouble in human life ls ig- norance and lack of oplllliftllnliY- The vanity of the first idea is proved by the ill-balance of power between the 5T0“?! 5nd ‘he in‘ creasing destructloncf true cog“; munlty.

from Communism, and to safe- guard whatever is undoubtedly precious -in our civilization.

(Though that civilization has been built in recent years on great er- rors, it is permeated by Christian influences. and has preserved, however feebly, the witness of the Christian faith.) This attitude forgets why Communism has made such growth — it is because we did not recognize that the sinful- ness of all men is an economic and political factor which cannot be ignored. (Dr. Niebuhr, however, said that if it came to a conflict. we must defend western civiliza- tion because it still contains the Christian hope and truth however dcbased. He was equally Jimpha. tic that the cruelties and evils of Communism, have given our peo- P1‘! a good pretext for not re- Dcntinfi of their own sins. but of calling attention to the evils of their opponents.) There is the other danger of merely deploring that the nations have abandoned Christian stand- ards and then retiring from all re- sponsibility "washing our hands" of the whole matter, so to speak. This attitude forgets-that it is this very sinfulness (which we share) that has created this secular world around us. “We are seeing what unredeemed human nature pro- 21ers when it tries to handle large- cale human affairs. We are look- ing at a mirror in which the re- bellious pari of us is revealed." Such is the beginning of Dr. Niebuhns discourse. condensed a little to suit this column, but de- serving of careful study in these perilous times. Readers will note that it is in general terms. In the

next instalment Dr. Niebuhr is more specific. The Sky in October Now that the nights close in earlier the starry firmament as-

sumes a newer interest. It is un- fortunate. however, that most of the planetary happenings of the month. take place when the Sun is above the horizon, so that they are not recorded here.

Late in the night of Oct. 6th. there will be a total eclipse of the Moon. As it is Full Moon shortly before the eclipse. the sight will be a fine one -— if the weather is fine. By the way, this is the Harvest Moon too.

And there is also a partial eclipse of the Sun. which however, -is not visible here. The Orionid Meteors occur on Oct, 22nd. On the 24th, Venus and the Moon are in conjunction at 22.58.

Jupiter Pluviua. The Romans were s realistic people, and when they surnamed the planet "Pluv- ius" or Rainy. they did not do so without cause. My theory is that they found the conjunction of Jupiter and Luna (the Moon) brought rain. My Astronomer friends deny this, but here are the dates of conjunction this yearz~ Jany- 2'1. (Rain on 2am; Feb. 2a. (Rain on 23rd); March 23, (23); April 19, (l9); May 1'7, (I8); June 13, (0); July l0, (l0); Aug 6, ('7); Sept. 2 (1). Sometimes there was merely a shower. and in June the sky threatened and then cleared up again. I have the dates for the past five years and may tabulate them this winter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — (AP) -—The United States has lost its monopoly on atomic weapons but is still four years ahead of the Russians.

State Department officials gen- erally took the line that they did not believe the danger of war is either increased or decreased by the evidence that Russia has made at least one atomic bomb.

Some diplomats, in fact. specu-

ted that Russia. having ended much of the disparity between herself and the United States.

Guests we had as well. who in a changed era of living could say matter-of-factly of themselves and family "Certainly we were in Church this morning!‘ “Every one?" "Yes. every one!" Some with lads of fellows growing now into their teens, we envied their rare privilege of being guard and guide to and trusted that these parents we meet do not look too far ahead to a distant day to enjoy their youngsters, but now, in the de- lightful days when their world is young -— and at hand. and each hour presents fresh delights and often —- in the light of experience -amusing problems.

In any case. officials said. Pre- sident Truman's announcement of the Soviet atomic explosion does not foreshadow any change in American atomic policy or gen- eral foreign policy

Why President Truman chose to announce it at this time was one of the subjects on which author- ities would not speculate.

1t was possible that he wanted to be the first to break the news and did not. want to risk an an- nouncement by Foreign Minister Vishinsky of Russia at the United Nations.

Another point on which respon- sible informants would offer no comment was how the United States obtained possession of the evidence of the atomic explosion. The Presidents top advisers, it was learned, however, consider the evidence conclusive.

At a minimum it shows that Russia has manufactured a quant- ity of atomic material sufficient to create a considerable explosion and that the Soviets therefore know how to make the materials.

At a maximum, it indicates that the Soviets have manufactured an atomic bomb capable of being dropped on s target and that they deliberately set it off for test pur- poses.

The experts reason that it ls unlikely that the Russians have accumulated a stockpile of atomic material or that they have made much more than one bomb. They also believe the Russians have been helped greatly in their atomic manufacture by German scient- ists.
