POWERS OF HUMAN

"BAROMETERS”

SENSITIVE TO CHANGE

OF AIR PRESSURE

"Human, barometers" received scientific recognition at the In- ternational Congress of Physical Medicine, meeting at the Wharn. cliffe Rooms, London.

Dr. K. R. Collla Hallowes, for- merly of the Royal Mineral Water Hospital. Bath, spoke of persona who were aware in no uncertain manner" of the electrical changes preceding à thunderstorm; and of others who were sensitive to changes in barometric pressure.

"We are practically in the dark about the reason why people should know such things" in advance," hei stated. "There are others," he added, "who are sensitive, dietetically, to a piece of white of egg which most of us would not notice.

"There are rheumatic subjects," he continued, "who, if they go to the senside, suffer from nches and pains,) while other sufferers from rheuma tism will be equally uncomfortable inland."

The whole subject of "climatology," he urged, had been too long neglect. ed, and should be investigated.

DER, Forlesene Fox, Presisient of the International League against Rheumatism, spoke of "hyper-sensi- tive people" felt that they "really lived" nly at particular times of the year or in particular pinces..

"It is good making experiments on normal people in Inborntories," he urged, "whether in wind tunnels" or testing chambers, when what we want to get at in the renson for the non- altiveness of abnormal people."

WIND AND WEATHER

There was a hope, he added, that A small institute would be establish. ed where the idiosyncrasies of such people could be studied. He suggest- ed three types of perrons for a start -sufferers from chronic catarrh, Theumatism. und circulators dis- orders. The effects on them of dif- ferent weather and winds would be investigated by scientifle means, and we should learn the limits of their "adaptability."

Dr. Albert Eldenow, Secretary of the Congress,' in another 'section,'{ followed up the warning as to sun- bathing, given on the previous day by Sit Henry Gauvain

A resolution urging that physical medicine should have the same place in university teaching as surgery and pharmacology was passed on the mo Lion of Professor 1. Gunzberg, of Antwerp, who said it was ten years too late to treat the rheumatic

SPESA patient by the time he himself asked

for treatment.

It was noticeable that, for some unexplained reason, many of the fordign experts who were expected to speak at various specialised discus. sions during the afternoon failed to appear. Summaries of their prospec tive contributions were, however, in many cases, available.

MYSTERY MONOPLANE

MAY BE FIRST INTO STRATOSPHERE

London, May 25. BRITAIN will probably attempt this year to be the first country to send a heavier-than-air craft into the stratosphere.

For this purpose a monoplane is being built for the Air Minis- try at Fifton Airdrome, Bristol.

Within 100 yards of it 3,000 workmen are building aeroplane engines at top speed. Scarcely any of them have ever seen the mystery monoplane.

The monoplane has an engine of: entirely new type, which it is hoped will carry it higher than any airplane has ever flown. The nhitude record it has to beat is 47,380 feet, set up in 1934 by the Italian flier Donati.

At 50,000 feet the stratosphere itself begins. The Air Ministry liope that the new monoplane will get somewhere near 60,000 feet.

Somewhere above that height are airless regions, where experts say hermetically scaled air liners could do funtastic speeds.

New York, June 1. Biting logs are worrying. Ner York, for during the first four months of 1030 a new victim was added every 27 minutes.

There are an estimated 809,000 dogs is the metropolis, and they bite. 63 persons daily. Dr. John L. Klee, com- intesionor of health, warns that draN- tic action pends unless owners curb this increasing health monaco.

Prevention of dog bites is one of the duties of the health department. Its worries are multiplied, Dr. Nico points out, for there is no known cure. for rabies, either in man or animal.
