A tail-wind represents a saving in time and fuel and aviators continually rely upon the Weather Bureau for information regarding satisfactory air currents. An illustration of to what good use such information can be put will be found in a fairly recent case where a northbound pilot flying the Pacific coast route with a 4o-mile tail-wind passed 4,000 feet below a southbound pilot also getting a 4o-mile tail-wind.

Selenium (Se) metabolism in humans is discussed. More selenium as selenomethionine (Semet) is absorbed than when it is present as selenite (95-97% vs. 44-70%). The selenium content in blood is correlated with GPX activity in selenium-deficient Chinese and in New Zealanders, but it is not correlated
