A few weeks ago, Andy was explaining the word gravity used as a measuring unit. He mentioned the speed of falling bodies and one of the items he reported was quite wrong. Andy made a boo-boo. Many kind readers wrote to point out the error. But the mistake must be corrected at once, or some young space traveler may plan hi orbit based on the wrong figlires. A falling stone speeds up as it Approaches the ground and this special kind of speed-up is called acceleration. A falling body gathers speed and at al most every point of the journey downward it is traveling at a different rate. What's more, thete are other factors in this already complicated picture. A stone falling from 100 feet has! a greater distance in which to gather speed than a stone To Your Good Health Instrument Records Brain Impulses By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M. U. 'Dear Dr. Molner: What pur prise does an electro encepha lograph serve? May abnormal conditions exist after a so called normal or negative reading? J. S." Tiny electrical impulses rise and fall in various lobes of the brain. The clcctra-en-cephalograph (EEC) detects these by means of wires at tached to various strategic spots on the scalp. The pa tient feels nothing, but the rise and fall of the electrical irrjpulses are recorded on a strip of paper, and fall into patterns which can bo inter preted. Certain abnormal patterns a Wilderness Near Qotham WASHINGTON The lights of .Manhattan's skyscrapers are seen at night by hundreds of small, shining eyes the eyes of deer, mink,, and muskrat who thrjve across, the river in New Jersey's "Great Swamp." The 8,000-acre Great Swamp, a wilderness virtually unchanged since the days of the Indian, is one of the largest, unspoiled naftirnl wetlands between Maine and Virginia, reports the Na tiohal Geographic Society. A 25-acre section of the swamp will open this summer as J nature center. Trails are planned through this and ad jacent areas. Plants and trees will be marked, and blinds will enable visitors to observe birds ana animals.

The air, which seems like a filmy noth ing, resists a falling body and causes it to slow down. This air resistance is strong enough to cancel out the acceleration speed of an object falling from a very great height, say, out of an airplane. These various factors make a difference to the speed of a falling body and we have to take them into consideration when plotting the path. Since a stone may fall from a high or low position, through a thick or thinner layer of air, the falling speed will be different in al most every case and it will certainly be different at vari ous points on the downward journey. However, we can take a standard unit to get a rough estimate of the speed of a fall ing stone. This standard unit is the gravity of the earth exerted on falling bodies. This pulling en ergy is the same in all cases and in theory, a feather should fall as fast as a stone. When it does not do this, it are found with epileptics of various types in some in stances special patterns may appear in people subject to certain types of severe head aches. Tumors, if they exist in the brain, can be located accu rately with the EEG. Infec tions, hemorrhages and other conditions also will affect the patterns. The EEG, therefore, Is an extremely useful device. I doubt whether we have yet come close to discovering all of its possible uses. Nevertheless, it can't re veal everything we may need to know. Some disease condi tions can exist very deep in the brain, or in the cerebel New York City, has been called the greatest living museum in the New York metropolitan area. Ornithologists have identified 154 species of birds. More than 75 speciaes arc known to nest and rear young there including the black duck, mallard and wood duck. Pintail ducks gather in the swamp during the spring migration. As one of the major resting and feeding grounds for water fowl and small birds on the At lantic Flyway, the swamp is a vital link in the chain of wet lands from the breeding grounds of Canada to the wintering areas far to the south. Herds of white-tailed deer, mink, fox and several kinds of fish abound in the area. sfUJ has been delayed by air resist ance. In a vacuum, where there is no air at all, both feather and stone do fall at the same speed. The stone or feather starts its fall from speed zero and at the end of one second it has gath ered enough speed to be travel ing at the rate of 32 feet a sec ond. This does not mean that it travels 32 feet in the first sec ond. Remember that it started with no speed at all so actually it travels at less than this dis tance. In the next second it keeps speeding up and at the end of this second it is travcl- A Andy awardi each day a & H full tat of the World Book K '!

After all, having a normal temperature, or normal blood pressure, doesn't mean that a person may not have some ailment which doesn't affect these elements. No, a "negative" EEG isn't proof that no abnormal con dition exists, but it is mighty reliable in detecting or dis proving certain conditions. "Dear Dr. Molner: It it true that when you eat raw onions your blood count goes up? Mrs. II. L." No. The only thing is to give your husband a break, pre-Revolutionary War days, the bowl-shaped hollow combines forest and meadow as well as wetlands. Mountain laurel, swamp aza lea and rhododendron brighten marshes and uplands In spring and summer. Woodlands contain a variety of trees tulip poplars, black cherry, sassafras and huge oaks. Once an ancient glacial lake known to geologists as Lake Passaic, Great Swamp and its network of streams form a major headwater of the Passaic River. Although conservationists have wanted to protect the swamp for some time, a con centrated effort did not begin until 1959 when the Port of New York Authority designated the area as a possible jet air port location. of Fall ing at 64 feet a second. At the end of the third second it is speeding at 96 feet a second. Please forgive Andy for re porting that a falling body drops 32 feet in the first sec ond. He hopes you have not used this misinformation to plot a trajectory down from orbit. Andy sends a Hammond's International World Globe to Flavia Btun del R-, age 9, of Ottawa, Ont., for her ques tion: How heavy is a cloud? The weight of a cloud changes I during its lifetime. Before it is born, it is water vapor and this gas is a bit lighter than the other gases of the air. Then the vapor becomes fine droplet of water and water is too heavy to float in the air. But so long as the droplets stay small with lots of air space between them, the misty cloud is light enough to float. But gradually, the water drop lets become bigger and the misty cloud gets heavier. Soon its too heavy to float in the air and down spills the rain. and have him eat some raw onions, too. "Deir Dr. Molner: My boy friend are planning to marry soon. I love him very much and hope to have three chil dren. Our problem is that we sic mai cuusins. win our babies be normal? Is there anything we can do to be sure they will be healthy, sane children? A. J." Many small faults become big ones if the same charac teristic exists in both parents, and that is why some states forbid marriage of first cous ins. There is no way of tell ing for certain whether babies would he normal, and there is nothing you can do to "be sure they will be healthy." Experts at a genetic clinic might be able to estimate the risk in your particular case. "Dear Dr. Molner: My son, 15, developed osteomyelitis after a compound fracture of the leg. Why does this dis ease develop in spite of the excellent care we gave him? Mrs. G. S." A "compound fracture" means that jagged edges of the bone broke into the flesh and skin, opening a path for germs to enter. "Osteomyel itis" means infection of the bone. The most diligent care can not guarantee that germs won't sneak in. It's an ever present risk with this type of injury. However, modern antibi otics arc very good in combat ting osteomyelitis. A decade or two ago, without the drugs, your son might well havo lost his leg instead. $ GREEM MADRAS SHIRT?; J1 - S,ilJ 2? JV THE'S STRICTLY r- AJ) 'J?""? n - f.
