Loafing is more exhausting than working. For every person who kills himself working. there are half a dorm who rest themselves to death.
Devil Tower M in Wyoming is one of Nature's oddities. This huge rook lifts its head 1,280 feet from the surrounding river bed. The diameter of its base is 1.000 ft. and at the top 275 it.
Weight of the rock is estimated at 400,000,000 tons - enough mater- ial to surface a 16 ft roadway com- pletely around the .a.rth nine times. Sign in a Seattle (Wash) grocery: "Be like Robinson Crusoe: Have your shopping done by Friday!"

The whale is a prolific breeder. Baby whales are born 20 to 3 ft. long at biizh, and sometimes reach a length of 85 feet when fully grown. Most persona die when their lev- er goes higher than 106-108. There is in case on record of recovery from is fever of 112 degrees. which proves, once again, that truth is stranger than fiction. Horse race winnings totalling: 3242.000 were left lmcollectecl at race track wickets in New York State in 1951, If these bett-crs don't put in their claim within a year the money will be turned over to the state. If you counted the number of dead in every war in which Canada has engaged, the number killed by accidents would be con- sideralbly more. Earthquake shocks are recorded -by an instrument mounted on a solid stone foundation. The in- strument itself consists of a. pen moving a continuous line on a cylinder which revolves once every hour and is worked continuously by clockwork in an exact record of time. It moves in it straight line when there is no dlsturance, and it jumps from right to left and, back again when there are serious ; oscillations of the earth. The extent - of these movements of the penl measures the grade or density or, the disturbance. it may seem like a i fantastic statement, but this seis-1 mographlc" pen is adjusted so fine- ' ly that it will pick up the foot-3, steps of anyone passing in its vic- 1, inity. , Records in all countries dealing. with 'quakes recorded a. total oily 140.000 of the phenomena to dale. , But as for telling when is. quake is about to break forth or any ap- proximation of its force or moves, the scientists is completely in the dark.

The Killing Plant
Through this column the pun- dent. Mr. Ohanlee Yeo, wishes to point out that the Killing Plant. new under discussion in the Pub- lic Forum, is not by any means go dead issue with the Federation.
The last letter on the question will be replied to in due course and the fact eltabilshed that Mr. Yeo clearly understands the dif- ference between I killing 'plant and a packing plant.
The Federation freely admits that 3 public killing plant with I substantial volume of business. capable of meeting competition could be of significant value to Island agriculture. If the prob- lems connected with nnsnolna. sufficient volume, and prontable operation have some reasonable assurance of solution, then we think the plant could very rapidly become a fact rather than a. topic for nscussio at meetings and in the press.
