iisxt 10D Days May Do Critical In World History

By 8M’. ROBERTS. Jr. (Associated Pram Foreign AIfairs Analyst) Th. next 1m) days may be one oi the critical periods in the his- tory o! the world. v By the end oi that time we will know how Europe has passed the winter, expected to be a cold and hungry one. We will have a good idea as to the immediate future e1 Germany. Th." Marshall Plan will have taken definite form. In all probability the immediate out- come oi the current outbreaks in France and Italy will have been decided. These 100 days may not produce the conclusive battle between de- mocracy and totalitarianism-that looks like a campaign which will go on for years-but the outcome will have an important bearing on the form which the conflict will take. As antictpeted, the recent tide at Conservative voting and the im-

Western Iiurope into violent reac- tion.

The French and Italian Govern- ments are mobilizing to meet the crisis. Italy is mustering her arm- ed police strength. France. torn by strikes and violence. has. called 140,000 additional troops to the colors. There l- talk oi! imminent civil war in both countries. ‘

OI that I am rather skeptical- The Communists, so tar. have M! demonstrated the strength for lt- I hope it. is not wishful thinking to believe that the Present out- burst ot violence will reach its peak before Christmas and then subside. Civil war in France or Italy would almost inevitably bring on a third world war.

Following the expected failure of the Big Fou. Foreign Ministers to reach’ an aireement in their meeting which opens in London next week, France. Britain and the United states will lace an immed- iate decision on the German problem. Fwhet. they do will affect the history oi Europe for a lonz time. However. they are leaning toward development and reinteg- ration o! Ahe Western German economy into that of all Western Europe under continued strict control, leaving Russia to go her own road in her occupation Zone but not tormallv surrendering the idea that, one day. Germany must be reunited. This means using German-y to the fullest extent in

‘I'll IIATI OI ll!

While looking over the booklet. “The Marine ‘Fishes 041love leo- tia," I noticed s. line drawing e1 a Smoothbkste (Reta senta). Hers was something to writs about. as will be seen.

There are six different species oi’ Skates to be Ioundin Maritime waters. the smallest being the Lit- tle Bkate (2 Ieet in length); and the largest being the Barndeor skate about 6 feet as a maximum. Between these are the Eyed, the Thorny, the Smooth, and the Deep- water ‘Phorny, Skates. All six are described in s. “Key" which en- ables the fishermen to identity them accurately and quickly.

Now_ what struck me most. tor- cibly was this: all these Skates are said to be o! no economic import- ance, and only usetul tor making fish meal! In Britain one could buy skate by the lb. at any llsh- mongers‘ shop and there was no lack ot iniormstion how to cook it. My old (look-book gives as dil- ierent recipes tor this fish: it may be boiled, crimped, curried. tried, nlarinaded, stewed, made into soup, or served with caper or liver sauce. It may even be “tessed" by putting the boiled flesh’ into a soft cloth and rubbing it between the palms 0i the hands until the flesh is broken up and looks like wool. Then it is heated, with but- ter. in a saucepan. (The recipe is s trifle more elaborate, but that is the gist.)

It is hard to say why this tish never "made s hit" in the Mari- .-lmes_ but it may possibly be be- cause this rule was not followed: “Skate improves with being kq>t s day or tzwo, and should always be skinned, however it is cooked." It is in season in tall and winter. The booklet "Marine Fishes of Nova scotia" has drawings oi I29 kinds of fish. with descriptions. It cost-s but lit) cents and every Iish- ing centre ought to have a. copy for consultation.

The lye-stone

A visitor talking oi a letter (from Peaks Station) that recently sp- peared in this column, said that he had never seen the eye-stone used, but he had seen lead shot employed to take grit, etc, out oi a person's eye. The shot was plac- ed under the eye-lid, where it moved about and dislodged the ir- -itating matter. '

Another visitor had seen the eye- atone proper used on several oc- casions. and (I gathered) in dli- lcrent localities; but our conversa- tion was interrupted and I had no further chance of questioning him.

In the original account, the eye- stone was kept in s. bottle of brown sugar till wanted. Then it was? placed in a saucer oi’ vinegar and‘ alter a while began to move about. I" On this it was placed under the, eyelid where it continued to move] Finally it was taken out and the oifending substance came with it.

I think this is the explanation. The stone is alkaline (like lime-l stone) and when placed in an acldl fluid (vinegar) there is a re-action that. moves the stone. (‘this would} seem to indicate that the stone. was oi light specific gravity.) When l the stone is placed on the eyeball. the vinegar naturally induces a. flow oi tears which has full play. since the eyelid is propped up. The substance is washed into the cor- ner of the eye and the trouble is‘ over. The stone is returned to the; br-ttle of sugar which (being sweet) _ is supposed to neutralize the vlne- ' gar, and preserve the stone. , I hope to hear more about this interesting subject. l

“Ne. 666"

"Here is wisdom. Let him thstl hath understanding count the l number of the Beast, for it is the ' number ot a man; and his num- ber ls six hundred three score and six." — Rev. 13, l8.

This verse is the Brest a-ypwgra- mic puzzle of the ages. It has, ap- parently, been called upon to iden- tity every enemy o! the human race and particularly oi the Anglo-

Baron recs, for a very long time. Bomewhere about the middle oi last century, Napoleon Bonsps te was lubed to be "Mons. see", by an ingenious ‘; letion o! the letters at his name: so that their Greek numerical equivalents totali- eduptoeddflilatomalooked like an artificial and unsatisfactory conclusion. That it was not sc- cepted is proved by the attempt made to solve the puzzle when World War I began. A press writer stated that the original "666" was Nero, but gave no grounds for his statement; he also stated that that Emperor was said to reappear on earth at intervals! He discarded the alphabetic solution and pro- ceeded to indict Kaiser William by a kind ot equation. “Six hundred three score and six years ls not the age oi s man, but six hun- dred three score and six months are" and the latter are "equal to titty-live and a hall years."

Now, Emperor William was born January 27. 185D: (1-27-4850). Add his age in July. 1914 (6-0-55). The two brackets added make (7- 27-1914) the beginning of the was. July 2'1, 1914. So far, the scribe had made good time, Ior on July 28th., I914. Austria declared war on Serbia, and started the great conflict. He was not so successful in predicting the end oi.‘ the war on January 21th., 1911i. ("Forty and two months" after, (Rev. i3. 5). (or, as all know, World War I came to an end November 11th. oi that year.

Since then I have seen no tur- ther attempts to clear up the my- stay of ‘Mr. 666."

The Great Blue Heron

This is the bird always called the "Crane" locally. There are Cranes in Canada, but there is no record ot any having been seen in P 1.‘. I. One outstanding difference is this: while the true Crane llles with its long neck outstretched. the Heron curves it neck so that its head rests on its body.

In “The Birds ot Prince Edward Island" (1947) there is a list at the heronries observed over a num- ber ot years. These were located at Mldgell; Judson‘: Island (Alex- andria); Granville; Bedcque; Glen ‘William; Stanley Bridge; Spring- tleld; and Fountain Head. near East Point. ('I‘he last named hadl between 200 and 300 nests.) A‘ hcronry was found in 1944. at Rus- tico Island, in the Natlonlu Park. As notes on the habits. etc, oi these birds have already appeared st various times, it is only neces- sary to complete the list of Hero- dlones by giving the descriptions. Great Blue Heron. Locally "Crane." A.O.U. 194. Summer resi- dent. Adult: Beuk long, sharp. Sides oi head, nape and (in the breeding season) the occipital crest. black; crown and forehead white.

Since it takes some years to’ reach the adult stage, the younger birds present these ditierencesl TTry are duller colored and lack the black and white on the head.‘ The underperts also are less broad- .'y striped.

An Unknown ans

On October ma. there was‘ brought in. from the back field, a lair-sized bird which was quite unknown to me. It was dead, but. bore no trace or wounds. and it seemed w have been lying for a osy or two, but. was in condition tor description. I judged it to be a galiinaceous bird (which was cor- rect) and thought it might be some kind ot grouse-which was wrong! Seeing that I was uncertain I made a careful description, as tol- lows:—- Grouse? Female? ..Bead dull brown, spotted lighter, feathered to the nostrils, a red "comb-like" space surrounding the eyes; bill horn-colored. Breast: leathers with darker brown circular markings, but the general eiiect is ss if the leathers had V-marks since they overlap. Undcrparta ochrsceous white. lack dull brown to black. barred and spotted. Wlnls barred blackish and ochraceous; under- aurtece whitish but allow color- psttaa o! feathers be seen (transparent). Tail rather pointed, barred like the wings. Lela and feet plumbeous in color (Oct. I. 1947.)
