i e A s A . ';‘
Botanical Expert Describes
Strange Power of Locoma
tion in Some Flora. :
. The animal kingdom and the plant
Akingdom have been thought of as sep
‘arate worlds, but science is finding
‘many connecting: bridges. Dr. Fred J.
‘Seaver of . the New York Botanical
;garden staff, in a recent lecture said
‘that it has now become absolutely im
possible to separate the lower animals
.from the lower plants. ,
. We think of the plant as stationary,
while the animal is able to move
.about, but many of the lower plants,
-such as the diatoms, swlm_abOquln
.the water, while many of the lower
animals are fixed, he pointed out.
‘Going higher in the secale thar the
humble diatoms, we find plants adopt
ing the fixed habit, said the lecturer,
while animals developed to a high de
gree .the power of locomotion. This,
together with the fact that animals
were largely dependent upon plants for
food, had apparently resulted in many
modifications of structure on the part
of either the animal or the plant, or
both.
Since higher plants were for the
most part stationary, while animals
were motive, it was necessary for the
plant, generally speaking, to carry on
a defensive warfare to keep from be-
Ing destroyed by its hungry enemies.
Many plants, especially the desert
plants, had developed protective arm
‘aments of spines or thorns. Just how
these deviees. originated, sald Doctor
}Seaver, it was.now difficult to-say, but
'»l that they served their purpose could
not -be denied.
‘ Again, since higher plants were un
i able to move about, many ingenious
.arrangements had been perfected for
“making use of the locomotary powers
of animals for performing some of
the necessary functions of plants. The
plants used the locomotary powers of
insects and other animals mainly in
the pollinatien of their flowers and for
the distribution of their seeds. The
appeal was usually made to the an
. imal’s desire for food, which was of
‘fered .as bait. In securing the de
gired food, the animal was made to
serve the plant. Brilliantly colored
flowers acted as signals, while the
nectar shich they contained was of
fered.as recompense for the assistance
rendered. -
" A Hard ‘Answer,
“My husband considered a very long
time ‘before he proposed to me. He
“was very careful” *“Ah, it's always
those careful people who get taken in.”
RATSUSEDTOAID
t e {
‘Effects of Diet Studied by Uni
. o versity Professor,
" Dr, B. V., McCollum, professor of
blochemistry in the School of Hyglene
and Public Health at Johns Hopkins
university, has put the rat to work at
a task that may eventually mean
longer and better life to man,
Tor fifteen years Doctor McCollum’
has beéen experimenting with rats—
thousands of them--and discovering
facts in the effect of diet upon growth,
health and heredity. These facts,
'when «nough of them have been as
sembled and studied, are expected to
aid in establishing new principles in
theé science of nutrition,
. Professor McCollum's laboratory has
accommodations for 3,000 rats, though
only 840 ipmates are undergoing ex
periment this summer. When the visi
tor enters the room not a sound be
trays ‘the presence of a living thing.
Cages in rows line the walls and the
floor, each heavily screened. Here and
there the quick flirting of a tall shows
that a cage is occupied.
_ Diseased Rats Destroyed.
. All of the rats in the room are nor
mal, healthy specimens. They are bred
there at the colony. Any of the stock
rats that show signs of becoming un
healthy before entering into experimen
tation are destroyed.
New arrivals at the calony, in the
form of baby rats, are fed orange juice
from an eye dropper. AS they grow
larger their diet is changed, ang when
they have matured a regular diet Is
prescribed. This diet consists of 20
per cent wheat, 25 per cent maize, 20.5
per cent rolled oats, 10 per cent flax
seed oil meal, 10 per cent casein and
five-tenths of 1 per cent calcium car
bonate. Daily a bowl of milk is placed
in each cage and twice a week the rats
get cabbage or carrots. This, with the
addition of tap water, is the diet upon
which the stock rats thrive. When a
rat enters the experimental stage dis
tilled water is used.
} Odd Effect of Diet.
! Doctor McCollum has succeeded In
bringing about, by means of diets,
practically any condition of health de
sired,” He can make the rat prema
turely old, make it wild, make it tame,
and even regulate to the day its span
of life. Further than that he has
proved that in many cases a rat’s reac
tion to a certain diet will be identical.
with ‘that of a man fed on the same
diet. He says:
i " “There is perhaps nothing more wor
thy of careful consideration as a hu
man problem than the suggestive re
sults of the behavior of our experimen
tal rats as modified by diet.” -
. “The well-nourished rat,” Doctor
MecCollum says, “when placed in a
cage, wailts to explore its surroundings.
Its coat is sleek, its eyes bright and it
shows no signs of nervousness. After
‘exploring its new home it does not
manifest much activity, but is perfect
ly contented while on familiar ground.”
To. show that the healthy rat does
not mind heing(handled, Doctor McCol
lum opens a cage, reaches in with bare
Lands, pu)l§ six rats together by their
tails .and calmly lifts them out, hold
fng them up for inspection, heads down
ward. They do not squeal and they
make. no attempt to. bite,
. Entirely different symptoms are ex
hibited by rats on a deficient diet.
When.the cage is opened they retreat
to a far corner find show signs of
fright. These rats are handled with a
pair of long tongs, and it is often im
possible to piek them up, because of
their frantic jumping about.
{ The young of a mother rat suffering
from malnutrition will develop the
mother’s symptoms, and after a few
days will sit up on their haunches and
squeal for hours. Death usually fol-
Jows.
i One of the experiments consists in
feeding a rat a diet that is adequateé
in all respects but in its protein con
tent. A growing rat fed on this diet
will become dwarfed. If, after several
‘months the diet is changed and a nor
mal one substituted, the rat will once
more start to grow. Even though it
may reach full size, however, it will
always be deformed in some way. A
month-old rat is considered as mature
as a three-year-old child.
Lengthening Life by Diet. :
The average life of a rat is two
years. Under proper diets, however,
Doctor McCollum has lengthened this
span to three years. He has also for
mulated diets that will determine, al
most to the day, how long a rat will
live.
Two sets of young rats will be taken
and placed in different cages. All the
rats will be the same age and of
healthy stock. One cage will have one
diet, the other cage a diet almost iden
tical, with the exception of one item.
In some cases a very slightly different
ratio will be made,
All of the rats will flourish. They
will appear normal and healthy, and
each group will make the same prog
ress. At the end of six months, Doctor
McCollem will have two cages of ap
parently healthy animals, but here the
' change begins.
|, The rats with the adequate diet will
I(u_.ntinue bright-eyed and sleek coated.
| They will not become nervous, and will
' exhibit no undue alarin regarding their
surrounaings. The rats in the other
cage will show signs of nervousness.
Their coats will go without the atten-
tion usually given them, and eyes will
become dull, Rapidly they become thin
and emaclated, and are ready to bite
the hand thrust into the cage. Soon
afterward they dle, The varylng of
this dlet ever so slightly will produce
llke results, but lengthening or decreas
ing the time it takes to accomplish the
experiment, !
Life of Rat Is Three Years,
When a rat becomes ol@ it exhibits
signs of Irritability. Its coat becomes
rough, and its temper mean. Walking
along the rows of cages one wlill see,
jhere and there, a rat that looks for all
the world like a venerable grandfather
of the rat colony. You are sure that
it 18 at least three years old, which Is
the extreme length of a rat's life
Here agnin the experiments are to
blame, The rat may be only three
months or a year old. Diets contaln-
Ing certain things ang lacking in others
have made the rat prematurely old,
One of the most notnble experiments
deals with the mother rat and her
young. Regulated diets will leave a
female rat incapable of preducing d
family. Other diets will affect the
young to such an extent that litter
after litter will be brought into the
world, only to die. A well-proportioned
diet, on the other hand, will save every
baby in ninety-nine litters out of every
hundred.
Diet and Offspring.
Under normal conditions the mother
rat is solicitous of her young, While
properly nourished she will give them
every attention. But when Doctor
McCollum changes the diet, the mother
will become nervous, and will eventu
ally attack and destroy her family.
Experiments have proved that a diet
adequate to maintaifi the mother in a
heathy condition will allow her to care
properly for her young. But as a
mother rat is fed a diet that produces
certain aflments or adverse conditions,
these symptoms are invariably Im
“parted to the baby rats In the mother’s
milk. If the diet is corrected, both
‘mother and young may return to
health. This also holds good in cases
where the mother has destroyed the
litter. After a mother has destroyed
two or three litters, while on an insuffi
cient diet, the diet has been changed
to an adequate one, and the next litter
has received the most careful attention
from the mother. .
The study extends down several gen
erations of the same family. Rats fed
on an inadequate diet, which at the
same time will permit them to pro
duce a litter, will dle naturally. The
second and third generations of the
same family will have the same diet,
and at the end of the third generation
the family usually dies out.
~ Started Work Fifteen Years Ago.
Since Doctor McCollum started his
1 experiments fifteen years ago, the tm
iportance of diet has been recognized
‘more and more. By adding certain
foods he has succeeded in creating a
‘ disease, and by substituting other foods
' he has accomplished' the feat of cor
recting morbid conditions. He con
' siders proper feeding the most impor
tant step toward the prevention of
“human ills. :
One of the experiments has to do
with the value of light in curing dis
eases. According to Doctor McCollum,
a large percentage of school children
in the United States are suffering from
ricket§. In many cases this ill has
been contracted by the baby from the
mother, while in other cases it is the
result of improper diets. Tests have
heen made to determine just what diet
is responsible for the condition. “In
many cases,” Doctor McCollum says,
“the excessive amount of cereals con
sumed is responsible.”
Outside of the rat laboratory is a
big lawn. In the middle stands a stool
and on "the stool is a screened cage.
One lone rat occupies the cage, and
with the hot sun glaring down from
above, seeks vainly for shade. The rat
is suffering from rickets, as a result
of improper diet, and now he is being
' subjected to another experiment which
'may cure him of the disease.

U. S. MAKES LARGEST LENSES
Bureau of Standards Completes Work
From Domestic Glass.
The largest lenses ever successfully

12 feet 8 inches.
An unusual fezture of the complet

and flint glass in the other Is said to
bring light of all colors to a common
focal point, impossible In lenses made

PINHOLES DRILLED IN STEEL
Delicate Device Is Used in Manufac

Making an adding machine required
the drilling of ten holes in a plate a
thirty-second of an inch thick, each
hole to be accurate to a thousandth
of an inch, yet no bigger than a pin in
diameter, says the Washington Star.
The result was a most ingenious ma
cnine that stands about 12 inches high.
The drill which was built carries ten
spindles, each holding a drill of num
ber six Morse gauge, which is about
the size of the pin of crdinary use.
Each little sliver of steel that does
the work is.driven by a belt operating
through a cam head and therefore
works at the same speed as that of
its neighbers. The actual driliing re

RED GROSS MET TEST
Spirit of Service Demonstrated
in Readiness for Nation
wide Activity. .
When President Coolidge by pracla
mation designated the American Red
Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief of the Japan
ese earthquake sufferers should flow,
the President’s desire came as an or
der to the Red Cross. Immediately
the entire machinery of the organiza
tion was put in motion and within 24
hours the, fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part of ihe coun
try. A
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
in behalf of humanity. Within a
month it had collected upwards oj
$10,250,000 in contributions, lande
ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re
liet requlremen{ts—nll without a sin
gle dollar of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge, in expressing
his thanks to the people, said: “When
the news of the tragedy in Japan first ,
reached us, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to'a proclamation, asked the
country for $5,000,000 to meet the
great emergency. The answer ‘to this
appeal was prgmpt and generous; in
less than two weeks a sum far in ex
cess of the original goal was given.”
The work of the Red Cross for
Japan is expected to influence a very
large enrolhpent of new recruits dur
ing the Roll Call, which starts Armis
tice Day. : 0

. Pirst aid in an emergency which
assures the injured competent atten
tion until the doctor arrives is making
marked headway through the, work of
the Chapters of the American Red
Crogs. In populous centers 314 chap- ’
ters conduct first aid classes and last
year awarded 9,500 certificates to stu
dents. Eight big telephone companies
have enlisted their workers in first aid
classes, police and fire departments in
large cities are making the course
compulsory in théir training schools,
and through colleges and high schools
large groups of students receive in
gtruction. The Red Cross also gives
this course through Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Y. M. C. A. and similar organi
zations, and its standard methods
have been adopted by railroads, elec
tric and gas companies, mines and in
the metal industries. The aim of this
Red Cross service is to cut down radi
cally the average of 60,000 accidental
deaths per year in the United States.
“Our cogintry could secure no higher
commendation, no greater place in his
tory, than to have it correctly said
that the Red Cross is truly American.”
