Study Weather To Find When Flood Coming Metereologists Believe They Can Make Long-Range Forecasts of Deluges and Droughts The possibility of long-range fore- casting of deluges and droughts has come out of the work of two research assistants at Massachuetts Institute of Technology, who for*five days and four sleepless nights charted charac- teristics of a high pressure area in the Atlantic. Meteorologists said they believed disastrous floods east of the Missis- sippi two years ago were largely in- fluenced by this zone, known as the Bermuda high. To Chart Upper Air Research on the area is based on the impression that this body of upper air, when fully charted, will disclose definite seasonal and monthly trends which can be predicted with certainty and used to indicate the type of weather ahead over a lonzer period than is now possible. The interest of meteorclogists in the high pressure zones is a compara- tively recent development made poss- ible only by the use of the radio; - meteorograph, a device which soars into the stratosphere attached to a balloon, broadcasting to listeners be- low the pressure, temperatures and humidity in the successive layers of air through which it rises. With this instrument aboard a freighter, the meteorologists charted a 1,500-mile section from San Juan to New York through the Bermuda High, a semi-permanent high pressure area centring off Bermuda. They made 25 readings from the freighter, at feur to five-hour inter- vals. The average flight of ezch bal- loon was 30 minutes and those from thrce to nine miles.

Linked With Rainfalls The value of successive chartings of this area, said Prof. Carl G. Ross- by, head of the M, I. T. division of meteorology, lies in the belief move- ment of air in the upper atmosphere is linked closely with mean monthly rainfalls. Through other readings the division hopes to learn the structure of the high pressure area. The meteorolo- gists expeet to find these zones are made up of several "cells" of air, each rotating on its own axis. Already this cell strueture has been observed in the upper air over the American continent and a distinct rrelation between its "flow pattern" and rainfall appears to be indicated. Animal World's Greatest Wooer The Black-Crowned Night Heron Proves a Dramatic Swain The great lover of the animal world it turns out, is the black-crowned night heron. The only bird that habitually has a "stooge," the heron employs in-court- ship an elaborate routine of deception, play-acting and psychological domina- tion, says Dr. G, Kingsley Noble of the Museum of Natural History, New York. A typical heron love affair, Dr. Noble disclosed last night in a lecture reporting his several years' study of animal courtship, goes like this: Soon after hatching, herons join in pairs, without regard to sex; one mem- ber of each pair dominates the other, demonstrating his superiority by al- ways holding his head higher than the "stooge." : "Henpeck System" In the mating season a male ap- proaches a female, and, taking the subordinate role, tries to inveigle her into marriage by the '"henpeck" sys- tem. When the female indicates tentative approval, the male at the psychologi- cal moment reverses the roles and he starts dominating -- if he doesn't, the female will leave. A Psycopathic Heron Then, to demonstrate his prowess as a potential husband, the male heron for days goes through calisthenics, brandishing twigs with his beak--"He never does anything with them--they just symbolize all the houses he could build," Dr. Noble explains. Finally, if he has carried the show off properly, the female consents to a permanent match. Dr. Noble reported one case of a psychopathic heron. He lost his fea- | ther head crest in transit to the mus- eum, and the females shunned him, He brooded for a while, the doctor related, and then resorted to exhibi- tionism, waving his legs and hissing, even before purely imaginary audienc- es. He finally got a wife. Costa Rica Called. Most Flowery Land Plants of the little country with more varied vegetation than any area of its size on this continent--a . country with about 6,000 varieties - of flowering shrubs and trees, includ- ing more than 1,000 different kinds of orchids--are described in "Flora of Costa Rica", published by Field Museum Press. No other area of its size in North or Central America has a flora so rich and varied as Costa Riea. In area, the country is about the size of West Virginia, but its flowers and plants are about three times as nu- merous as those of that state. Few tropical countries anywhere in the world can rival Costa Rica in the variety of its orchids and ferns. Robots That Travel Fifteen Miles Up Balloons containing mechanical weather prophets and floating 15 miles above the Arctic may be the means of - warning of approaching cold + weather. Each balloon will carry a cylinder-shaped mechanical weather prophet weighing two pounds. This cylinder consists of patent weather-recording devices at- tached to a wireless transmitter, which will wire reports automatically at half-minute intervals to observers far below. Three bases are to be established, and the balloon tests will be helped by high-altitude flights by aero- planes.. The difficulty at the moment is that the balloons often burst at high altitudes, and so the apparatus t has been fitted with small parachutes.

The request was, not for toys, dolls or story books, but for school books. Ran the letter: "We have had poor crops for six years around Airways and Hughen- den.

Approval of the Boy Scout Move- ment in Greece, and assurance that he will do all in his power to further its success, was expressed by Prime Minister Metaxas, following a parade of Scouts at Patras. Alfred C. Bossom, a British M.P., has presented a handsome silver challenge shield to the Boy Scouts of . Bathurst, Gambia, in recognition of the habitual good turns performed by | these coloured Scouts for tourists calling at that West African port, The shield was accepted on behal . of the Gambian Scouts by Mr. Orms« by Gore, Secretary of 'State for the Colonies.

Leading Bankers Review Canada's Economic Outlook BANK OF MONTREAL ANNUAL MEETING Confidence Expressed in Country's Capacity for Recovery _ An impressive record of strength and of expanding business in keep- ing with the marked improvement of trade and commerce throughout the Dominion during the past year was presented at the 120th annual meeting of the Bank of Montreal recently held in Montreal. In viewing business conditions over the wide territory in which the bank operates, Sir Charles Gordon, the president, said that these had much improved and were a happy contrast with the condi- tions of but two years ago. The one really serious handicap was in those portions of the Prairie. Prov- inces where drought caused total or partial loss of the crop. Canada, he said, had been de- monstrating in the past year a re- markable resiliency in productive enterprise. As instances of this, he referred to the immense growth of gold production and of the output of industrial metals * remarking that with the exception of iren, Canada was now the world's largest ex- porter of base metals. Canada's Manufactures Worth iA Three Billions He further pointed out that whereas Canada was until quite recently regarded as a country de- voted almost entirely to agricul = ture, today agriculture provides 35% of the exports and other forms of industry the balance. Canada now employs 600,000 people in 30, 000 workshops, mills and factories, and the annual value of its manu- factured products amounts to more than $3,000,000,000, In concluding his remarks, Sir Charles, while not attempting a forecast on the Canadian business outlook, expressed his confidence in Canada's 'remarkable capacity for recovery," which, if not unduly affected by international disturban- ces, would, he felt, mean a conti- nuance of the better times which Canadians had experienced during the past year. Commercial Loans Show Increase One of the most important fea- tures of the financial statement presented by Jackson Dodds, on be- half of himself and his fellow. gen- | eral manager, G. W. Spinney, was the increase shown in current loans in Canada of more than $23,000,- 000 to $182,500,000. For the year ended Séptember 20th, the current loan of all the banks had increased by $75,500,000. While the increase was welcome, he said it was not . commensurate with the growth in | the volume of business and the im- provement in commodity prices. Bank's Assets 79.58% Liquid The assets of the bank, standing [at $829,600,000 were: the. highest since' 1929. Of this amount $599,- 000,000 represented quickly avail- able resources, equal to 79.58% of liabilities, to the public, amounting to $752,736,000. Among other highlights, - the statement prescatcd by the general managers showed that deposits by the public had increased by $28,000,000 to $681,000,000. Com- menting on this item, Mr, Dodds said: "Despite all that is written and said nowadays on the subject of 'loans creating deposits,' 'foun- tain pen money' and 'monetizing' assets, including what is described ag 'our cultural heritage," it is safe to say that not one of: our custom- ers, whose balances make up our total of deposits by the public, has any doubt whatsoever as to how his or her deposit came into being."
