WHY-
Hibernation Might Be Good
for Mankind
The suggestion that hibernating
might be emulated with practical suc
cess by human beings was advanced
by Vernon Bailey of the United States
biological survey at the annual meet
ing of the American Society of Mum-
maloglsts at the American Museum of
Natural History.
Describing the results of ills study
of the long winter sleep among some
of our mammals, Mr. Bailey said he
was encouraged to believe In n simi
lar form of hibernation as a physical
aid to mankind. He suggested that
ilie assembled scientists from all parts
of the country devote further study
to it.
“I see no reason why hibernation
should not he made use of In the medi
cal profession or in other practical
ways of mankind,’* said Mr. Bailey.
“It might he applied with special bene
fits In disorders of the nervous sys
tem."
Hibernation, the speaker said, was
something between sleep and death
which progressed until the sleeper’s
body became cold and respiration
reached a scarcely perceptible rate.
This condition in some mammals might
continue for six months, while others
awoke occasionally to feed from food
stored nearby.
Mr. Bailey said he had been much
Impressed by the experience of Nun-
sen. the explorer, who. while isolated

months, srouslng himself momentarily
from day to day only to eat frozen

Why Cooling of Loaf
Causes It to Stale
Why does bread grow stale?
Wtien the dough Is put Into the oven
the starch In it Is turned Into Jelly by
the host. This .telly holds the ne»is
fure In the loaf and distributes 4t
evenly throughout the bread.
As the loaf cools the starch gives
up Its moisture, which Is drswn from
the center of the bread Into the out
side crust. Thus the Inside, or
crumbs, becomes hard and dry. while
the crust change« from a hard and
crisp substance In'o a soil and
"doughy" one
fold weather makes bread stale
rapidly, and for the same reason stale
loaves can be freshened hv being
placet In an oven for a few minutes.

the stateness of bread, and are now
trying to find out why some loaves
keep much better than others At the
