undertaken by Henry Arctowski
head of the scientific departm ent
of the New York Public Library
His self appointed task is, as he
expresses 1t, to correlate all of the
known sciences and arrange them
in the relation which they sustain
to one another.
To do this requires a thorough
knowledge of all the sciences
which fact indicates the tremen-
dous amount of study and re-
search which Arctowski has
mapped out for himself.
Arctowski is a Pole. He studied
in Paris with his famous COM

The fashion in dogs, says spoI1- ing magazine. has always been as changeable as the fashions in wom- ems dress-whieh is saying a great deal for the instability of mans canine tastes The craze for some thing new has displaced all the old time pets which found favor with both doggy men and women, and the novelties" have one by one shared the same fate. If you glance through the catalog of dog show at the pres ent time you will find that most of the animals are foreigners, more re- markable for their physical oddities than either beauty. intelligence or usefulness Pet dogs are like orchids. as regards fancy prices paid for rare specimens, and these highly priced pets. which today cost $500, will pres ently be selling at S5 apiece.
