Main, dem onstrator in animal biology, over in the research building. The idea is to discover the reactions or reflexes of water dogs without their inner ears or in other words minus their sense of equilibrium. If tickled on a certain spot the creatures do one thing, if tickled on another spot they do another. All of which is of significance to the biologist but to the ordinary observer looks like or dinary squirming. Then if the ears are in one and out of another they act differently when suspended by the tail or when lying on their backs. Mr. Main “catches his own” for his experiments. They look something like lizards only their skin is not scaly. They’re far from admirable looking things but they are doing their part in con tributing to the advancement of biological facts. i Y.M.C.
