REVIEW, DRUMHELLER, ALBERTA. Fine Quality Gives Satisfaction TEA “Fresh from the Gardens” Simpler Problems Baffle Man While world opinion is disturbed and distorted by.threats of war and general unrest, while thoughts of budgetary deficits and problems of trade engage anxious minds at home, it is inspiriting to turn to conquests of the physical universe which, from time to time, demonstrate man's ability. to master infinitely greater problems than those “which threaten his peace, security and prosperity. The statement may be trite and commonplace, but it is nontheless true, that man's ingenuity in solving the riddles of the uni- verse is in marked contrast with his apparent stupidity and futility in seck- ing solutions of others directly within his own purview and which, as a mat- ter of fact, are his own creation. ‘The thought. is suggested by recent, addition to scientific knowledge of the atmosphere which is now known to consist of four layers—the tropo- sphere, the stratosphere, the ozonosphere and the ionosphere, The tropo- sphere, the layer closest to earth's surface, is the stratum. of changing tem- peratures and pressures and of wind-driven clouds. As long ago as 1899, it was discovered, by temperature tésts, that this layer terminated relatively abruptly at a height of between six and seven miles. Beyond this height, the temperature was found to be, relatively constant up to about 23 miles. This layer of calm, cloudless air of uniform temperature is the stratosphere of comparatively recent conquest by balloon ascension. _ As this is written, a prairie dust storm occludes the sun, and, as a re- sult, there is,a marked fall in temperature. It is palpalby cooler. It: hap- pens that, calculations concerning dust shot into the stratosphere by volcanoes prove similar cooling effects. If one seven-hundredth of a cubic mile of fine dust were blown ‘into the stratosphere it could form a screen which would reduce, the intensity of the sun's rays. by 20 per cerit. The screen would remain suspended in that.still windless zone for years, and it has been sug- gested that the ice ages have been caused by such volcanic dust-screens. Recent research has shown’ that, above 23 miles and extending up to 38 miles, is another layer rich in ozone and, for that reason, called the ozonosphere. The significance of this layer so far as human history is con- cerned, lies in the fact that, because it is absorptive of ultra-violet rays from the sun, the earth is adapted to human habitation. Without this screen, it is said, organic life on earth would be wiped out by sun-stroke. The ozonosphere, unlike the stratosphere, is not cold but hot. Above it and beginning at 50 miles, les another layer, ‘the ionosphere, so-called because the gasses of the air in that region are in an electrically, excited or fonized state, The eecrets of this stratum are yielding to radio research although its‘existence had been deduced, long before the advent of the radio, to explain some of the earth's magnetic phenomena. The ionized particles have ‘the property of reflecting radio waves back-to earth and it has been revealed there are two main layers in the ionosphere, at 64 and 112 miles respectively, which reflect these waves. Each of these is split‘into two dur- ing the daytime making a total of four layers. ‘These four layers probably mark the heights at which particular constituents of the atmosphere be- come electrified or ionized. Recent research has further demonstrated that the electrification in the layers is more intense in summer than in winter, the condition being ‘norm- alley due to ultra-violet rays from the sun. Thunderstorms also play-their part, it having been calculated that the electrical energy continually re- Jeased in thunderstorms is more than sufficient to prodiicé all the observed ionization in the fonosphere. ‘That scientific minds applied to of the i ible have produced so much positive achievement is in striking contrast with the meagre fruits of the efforts of politicians, statesmen, economists and “brain trusts” to solve the problems of man’s ‘social and economic rela- tionships. It suggests the thought that, were scientifically trained. minds set freely and independently to work, by universal agreement, upon the problems which seem destined to perpetuate ‘embattled borders between peoples of kindred cultures and similar aspirations, their solution quickly would be forthcoming. The rest would be up to us. Russian Aviators Have Completed Big Task Rescued 101 People| “From. Floating — Tee Off Siberian ‘Coast .Two months ‘ago 101; Russians Wére wrecked: on floating ice between Wrangel Island and the coast of ‘Siberia. Since’ that time the efforts of Russian aviators in ~rescuing the 101 a few. at a time has held -the interest and admiration of-the' world. |* The task was recently completed. Nota lfe was lost.” Moscow, aware of the-rich mineral resources of this Arctic island whose has become raghly determined to populate it with permanent ‘colonists. Of the -101 there were ten women and two: chil- dren, After their ship had been crushed, the adventurers, who had plenty of food and fuel, built living quarters on the ice and were not un- comfortable in spite of the sub-zero temperatures. They suffered little, but they were ‘constantly in peril, for the breaking up of the ice might bring death at any moment. The organization of the relief work was thorough and systematic, and its success {s a tribute both to the:skill and to the indomitable courage of the}. Ruzsian aviators. It is not without reason that Moscow is celebrating, and praising the: efficiency of Soviet organization, the hardihood -of ‘the marooned men and women, and the devotion and ability of the. rescuers. One Moscow newspaper comments, perhaps ‘with reason, that if the dis- aster had occurred in.the days. of the czars. the Wrangel colonists would all have perished while bureau- cratic officials argued. as-to which department should. undertake. the rescue—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
