Last spring a pair of. blue jays nested In the crotch of a maple just below my study window. What a time they had of nest building!

They talked and scolded, building first in one-place then.in the other. In the end the fetriale h^d her way, and the makeshiftjiuacft of twigs $nd brush wa*s colleped.

“A paper by T. L. MacDonald, read before the British Astronomical asso­ciation, discusses, the appearance of a bright border along toe dark limb of the young moon. According to Mr. MacDonald this luminosity, which IS not visible In all lunatlone, has a more or less Unelike appearance, and is de­cidedly brighter than the ordinary earthshlne, which always illuminates toe* darker part of the young moon* The’bright border varies In length, not Oways extending as far^ as the horns of the ‘lunar crescent, and certain nearly circular^ swellings of Intensi­fied brightness have been noted. In general toe border Is most sharply de­fined when the moon Is 2% days old, and it begins to become diffuse toe third da$ of the Innation. By the sev­enth day It is barely distinguishable. Commenting on these observations, Mr. Harold Thomson stated that he had observed the bright border with the naked eye. but it disappeared In the telescope.—Scientific American.

High 8p*ed Steel Without Tungsteft-A new high speed "steel of British

origin is without tungsten In Its com­position and advantages of both a practical and economical nature are claimed. It la cobalt-molybdenum steel, the cobalt apparently acting as a stabilizer and as correcting certain dlsadavantages said to exist in molyb­denum-tungsten steels. The new steel Is claimed to possess toe highest point of efficiency ever obtained* The hard-, ening temperature required Is only In toe neighborhood' of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit The steel Is also reported to machine exceptionally soft and eas­ily. The specific gravity of como steel Is reported to be equal to that of the old carbon tool steej, and so 10 per cent less than that .of the tungsten high-speed steels. As-a result it Is estimated that a given weight of como

'^teel will produce 10 per cent' more tools than the same weight of regular high-speed steel.

Mineral oils vary very much In their makeup. Those’’of Mexico are particu­larly rich In the heavier ingredients, and are therefore exceUently^-adapted for use. as fuel. The lighter oils yield more kerosene and gasoline.

The prospect of gasoline supply of­fers some reason for anxiety. It has been Increased enormously within the last ten years, but the growth of the output has been only one-third as great as the growth of the automobile Industry. There are- onw 7.500,000 au­tomobiles in the United States; by the end of the present year there will be 9,000,000.

Already “beo- rol,” a by-product of the distillation of bituminous coal, Is being used for toft purpose in considerable quantities.
