O Shows Progress Made By Science Annual Report of Smithsonian Institution Covers Wide Range of Subjects. 28 AUTHORITATIVE ARTICLES « Deal With Recent Advances of Inter esting Phases of Every Branch of Science— Figures on Army Supplies. â Washington.—The Smithsonian In stitution lias Just made public Its an nual report, which, among other things, contains u general u|>i>eu<llx o f articles covering recent advances of Interesting phases of nearly every branch of science. Including astron omy, physics, chemistry, geology, zo ology, entomology und anthropology. The articles have been written as fur as possible in a style Intended to In terest the general reader rather thun the scientist, and, as the rvjiort states, “ In this way carries out one of its principal objects, namely, the diffusion o f knowledge." One urtlele Is by Dr. Arthur D. Lit tle and entitled, “ Natural Resources In Their Relation to Military Sup plies." In this article Doctor Little gives figures us to the number of va rious urtlcles used by the American armies In the World war, Illustrating, as he points out, the Importance of the economic factor In modem war fare. For instance, 22,000,000 blankets were provided for our soldiers, and 100,000.000 yards of cloth was used In making their uniforms and over coats, while the square yards o f cot ton textiles used by the I'nited States during the war totaled 800,000,000. If this enormous amount o f cotton tex tiles were laid out In one yard width, 55 globes the size o f the earth could he placed upon It. What Our Soldiers Used. During the war period the American soldiers nte more than 1,000,000.000 pounds o f flour, 800,000,000 pounds o f beef and 26,000,000 pounds o f Jam and other substantial foods In proportion. Miscellaneous Items for the army in cluded 45.000,000 safety razor blades, 10,340,000 spoons, 4,090,000 pairs of rubber boots and 0,250,000 brushes of various kinds. Doctor Little also dis cusses In connection with military op erations, coul, metals, explosives and other resources, concluding by show ing that scientific research Is Indis pensable not only in achieving mili tary efficiency but also ns an assur ance of peace-time prosperity. The Influence o f cold In stimulating the growth of plants Is the subject o f an article by Dr. Fredrick V. Covllle. D<><dor Covllle shows that the general belief ns to the causes o f dormancy of plants in the fall and o f their new growth In the spring Is erroneous, lie seeks to prove by numerous experi- ments that dormancy In trees und shrubs sets In before cold weather, and that cold weather Is not necessary for the establishment o f complete dor mancy ; thnt after dormancy lias be gun. the exposure of the plants to an ordinary growing temperature Is not sufficient to start them Into growth; and that these plants will not resume normal growth In the warm weather of spring unless they have been sub jected previously to u ¡terlod o f chill ing. “ Doctor Covllle,” says a statement by the Smlthsonlun Institution, "Is of the opinion thut a complete under standing o f the results o f the prpcess o f chilling will be of the greatest ben efit to agriculture, especially In trans ferring plants from one part of the world to another, in growing various plants out o f season, in grafting and other processes o f modern agricultural practice." Urge« Protaction of Wild Bird«. Dr. Walter K. Col I luge, In an article on the necessity o f state actual for the protection o f wild birds, gives many reasons why the country should “ jeal ously guard these feathered allies,” which, he adds, are among the great est enemies of the Insect pests that annually destroy millions o f dollars’ worth o f American farm products. The report also contains three pa pers oil the study of Insects, two o f them, "Tne Division of Insects of the I’nited States National Museum” and “The Seven-Year Locust,’’ containing many beautiful color plates, while tlie third, by Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau o f entomology of the De partment o f Agriculture, reviews the wartim e work o f government ento mologists In overcoming the Insect pests that warred on the crops and animals o f the country. The various branches o f the science o f anthropolgy are represented by ar ticles by Dr. J. Walker Fewkes, who describes two types o f prehistoric clIfT bouses o f the southwestern part of the I’ nited States; Dr. W. li. Holmes, who discusses the race history nnd racial characteristics o f the American Indi ans, while the origin o f the Czecho slovak |ieople Is treated In a transla tion by Dr. Ales Hrdllcka. The totul number of articles Includ ed in the report Is 2S, nearly all of them Illustrated with plates and text figures. Reverend Visitor From the Orient SWIMMING IS A GOGO ONE Middle Age Demands Above All Stead iness and Continuity in Its Recre ation— Time ie Chief Difficulty in the Way. * London.— Declaring that we age In winter nnd not in summer, the medical correspondent of the London Times urges the middle-aged to take some ineusures in the way o f exercise to correct the deficiency. If they will do this, he says, and awake to a reali zation o f winter exercise they will spare themselves many an hour o f Ill- health. The approach of winter raises once again the question o f winter exercise, he says. This is n most ditficuK sub ject. F it at the very period when ex ercise Is no^t necessary It becomes most difficult to obtain. The difficulty for the business man is e*i>ecially great. He must leave home at an hour which makes early morning exercise practically impossible. When he re turn* home again It Is already grow ing dark or quite dark. Thus his op portunities for outdoor recreation are practically withdrawn altogether, ex cept at the week-ends. On the other hand, says the physi cian, winter Is a time of sedentary life. There Is no inducement to go out of the office, and people tend to cut down their excursions from their own desks to the lowest point. They sit In warm rooms, which they leave only to go to their meals. All this rues ns a Magglsn circulation and slug gish removal o f waste products. IV ■ pie. especially middle-aged people, get fat In winter. Young |ieople are better off. says the writer.
