ORIGIN OF JADE.

A correspondent writes to Nature: "During
the last ten years much has been written on the
origin of the jade objects found in America and
Europe, no raw materials of the stone having
vet been discovered out OF which the articles
could have been manufactured. Professor H.
Fischer, of Freiburg in Baden, therefore
brought forward the hypothesis, supported 10y
several of his scientific brethren, that the jade
objects of America had been transported thither
from Asia in prehistoric times, when Mongol-
ian tribes settled in the New World, and that
the intercourse Of trade had later acted IN the
of these objects have been found, the Aryans
had done this service, when wandering from
the very heart of Asia to the west, the source OF
the Jade objects of both continents belg ASIA,
where deposits of the mineral are known TO
occur in Siberia, Turkestan and Burmah.
Recently DR.. Meyer, of Dresden, has eneigetl-
cally opposed these views in large fol WORK
containing many plates and has come forward
with the opinion that the jade sources OF Europe
and America yet remain TO he discovered. AS
TO America we are glad to hear that this much
simpler and more reasonable explanation of the
problem has now been verified, the Smlthson-
ian Institution of Washington lately having
received from Louisiana an immense number
of objects of Jade, among them implements,
knives and other articles, many having an
admirably high finish. and with them con-
siderable quantity of the stone of which the
objects were made. We do not doubt that sim
liar discoveries may soon be expected In Eu-
rome, especially in Switzerland, and that we
shall succeed in ascertaining the exact districts
where the mineral is TO be found

WHEN TO BATTLE.

The London Lancet gives some timely hints
about beginning out of door bathing. If the
weather he chilly, it says, or there be cold
wind so that the body may be rapidly cooled Mt
the surface while undressing, it is not safe to
battle Under such conditions the further chill
of immersion in cold watev will take place at
the moment when the reaction consequent upon
the chill of exposure by undressing ought to
occur. and this second chill will not only delay
or altogether prevent the reaction, hut convert
the bath from a mere stimulant to depressanty
ending in the abstraction of a large amount OF
animal heat and congestion OF the internal
organs and nerve centres. The actual temper
allure of the water does not affect the question
so much as its relative temperature as COM
pared with that of the surrounding air. The
aim must DO to avoid two chills; first, from the
air, and second, from the water and to make
sure that the body is in such condition as TO
secure a quick reaction on emerging from the
water without relying too much on the pos
sihle effect of friction by rubbing. 1t will be
obvious therefore, that both weather and wind
must be carefully considered before bathing is
begun and that the state of the organism as re-
CARDS fatigue and the force of the circulation
should also be considered not merely as regards
the general habit, but the special condition
when a bath is to he taken. These precautions
are eminently neediul in the case of the young
or weakly.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
IMPROVING WESTERN PASTURE LANDS.

IMPROVING WESTERN PASTURE LANDS.
Professor n. S. Shaler suggests IN Science
plan for improving the great pasture lands OF
the West. It IS well known, he says, that west
of the meridian of Omaha the greater portion
of the United States is unit fer tlllage, tnat
much of this Western land is covered with
scant herbage-twenty acres being necessary 10
gustain a single head of stOck-and that any I'M
provement of this area of natural pasturage
would add greatly to the wealth of the country.
He suggests the introduction OF fresh wild tOr-
age plants from abroad. The countries that are
likely to furnish plants calculated to flourish In
a region Of low rainfall include large part OF
tie earths surface. Those that would succeed
in Dakota are not likely to do well in Texas or
Arizona. For the northern region, the uplands
of northern Asia or of Patagonia are the most
promising fields of search while, for the middle
and southern fields, the valley OF the La Plata,
southern Africa, Australia and the Algerian
district may be looked to for suitable species.
The experiment of introducing ana tesCihg
these plants, he says, is naturally one tor tle
General Government to undertake, but 1t need
not be costly "Three experiment statlons-one
in the northern part of Nebraska, one In Texas,
and one in Arizona-WOuld serve the needs OF
thorough trial. Ten thousand dollars per
annnm at each station should meet all the eX-
penses of a sufficient trial at least, until 1t was
proven that the experiment would he successful:
If we add the expenses of travelling student or
wild forage plants (peIhaps another live thou
sand dollars, we would have sufficient basis
for practical work. IL tho result should be 10
increase by only one tenth the beast-malntaln-
ing power of our wild lands, the effort would be
worth many millions per annum to the nation.
When we consider that the introduction of the
species of Poa which received the name of blue
grass has manfolded the pasture value OF the
regions where it Gourises, it is evident that the
project is worth consideration"

THE CARSON PRISON FOOTPRINTS.


Professor Joseph LIE COnte, writing from
Berkeley, CAL. sends to Nature brief account
of the suDDOsed human footprints found IN the
shale at Carson, and agrees with professor
Marsh and others in attributing them to large
slOtb The 40 called human tracks, lie writes,
occur in several regular alternating series Oh
1920 In size they arc 1920 inches long, ana
inches wide In shape they are many OF
them far more curved than the human track
especially in soft mud. The stride Is zig TO
feet, and even more. The outward turn OF inc
track is IN many cases greater than III human
tracks, especially in soft mud But the most
remarkable thing about them on the human
theory is the straddle, ie., the distance between
the right and lelt series. This found To be
eighteen and even nineteen inches, which was
fully as great as that OF the mammoth TRACKS rs
This is probably the greatest objection TO the
human theory. On the other hand, the great
objection to the quadTupedal theory is the APP
parent sInglencss OF the tracks, ana the absence
Of claw-marks. But il must be remembered
that the tracks are deep and the Outlines some
what obscure, and also that the mammoth
tracks on account of tracking of hind with
forcfoot, are in most cases, though not always,
single.
After careful examination for several days,
the conclusion | came to was that the tracks
were probably made by a large plautgrade
quadruped, most likely gigantic grOund-sloth,
such as the Mylodon, which is found IN the
Quaternary, the MorothenIum, which Is
found in the upper PliOcene OF Nevada. The
apDaTeut snglencsS the singular shape, ana
the large outward turn of the tracks attribute
to the imperfect tracking OF hind and toTet0Ot
on the same side, while the absence OF claw
marks was the result OF the clogglng OF the
feet with mud. This view seems TO me most
probable, but many who haye seen the tracks &C KS
think them human, and freely admit that
there is abundant room for honest difference OF
OOiniOn On any theory the tracks are well
worthy Of scientific attention.

No distance in time and space, no partition, OF

Longfellows, the Dodges the Coopors, She Stanleys
