The most distressing cases are those
in which there is no actual confusion
of sensations, so that odors and tastes

basis Of many delusions and hallucina-

Prof. Nicholson Discovers Cause
of Metallic Colors.
sriIIiance Of Piumase, as Well as In

AbsorptIon-Prof. Cutler on
Arid Problem.

Chicago.-Peacocksa and pigeons. but
terfiies and beetles the gayest OF the
bird and insect tribes-have yielded
the secret OF their brilliant attire to
Prof. Albert A. Nicholson. head of the
department of physics Of the Univer-
city Of Chicago. who has discovered In
his. laboratory the real cause Of the
metallic coIors observed In his feafh-
cred and buggy" specimens.
Prof. Nicholson. who won the No
bel prize in 1909 for his achievements
in optics, announced his latest find In
a paper read at the annual conference
Of the Illinois State Academy OF Sci
ence. I'm the botany building Of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The professors
experiments prove that the colors stud
led are the result of light absorption
due to the shape Of the surfaces and
are not caused by the pigment cells or
any means that the amateur naturalist
might imagine.
The discovery, according to the SCI
entists at the meeting. furnishes schol-
ars with a new theory for important
color phenomena It overturns the
position held by many distinguished
investigators that the irridescent gilt
ter of beetles and the tints Of the
humming birds are the result OF or
binary interference" and "diffrac-
ton
The total number of specimens
which have been examined" said the
investigator. 'is perhaps not so large
as It should be to draw general con-
clusions. and 1t Is clearly desirable
that IT should be extended, but so far
as the evidence for surface films as
the effecsing source Of the metallic col
ors In birds and insects is entirely con-
elusive"
Prof. John M. Coulter, head Of the
University OF Chicago botany depart
ment. said:
Practical plant breeding is now on
a practical basis and botany has al
last attacked the fundamental prob
lens and may be of some practical
service. for It includes plant breed
ing"
Oh the possibilities OF converting ARID
land into wheat and corn lands Prof
Coulter said:
! Attempts are being made to secure
a combination Of hardness to drought
which we desire and quality of grair
which we pnssess see nc reason
why the vision should not be realized
but you aeed not invest in arid land
for immediate use as wheat fields. II
the case Of corn. as of wheat. we arr
not breeding It for drought resistance
alone. and it win take many plant gen
erations OF the highest type Of scien
tific plant breeding to determine
whether we can combine this drough
resistant structure with the high-grad
quality and yield we have already oh

No sooner had they begun to reel of
popular music hall airs than the gen.
tleman appeared upon the scene and.
In peremptory manner ordered tneir

calling in the police
When. after time, they made

 "A chain is no stronger than it's weakest link" In the foregoing there are presented eleven weak links in the Arizona constitutional chain, and eleven good and effective reasons why the instrument should be rejected at the polls and the convention called together again to frame the right kind of funda- mental law to govern the state of Arizona.
 And they are eleven good and effective reasons why individual voters should cast their ballots against adoption.

HAVE NOT THE VOTES.

Next Monday, under the provis- ions of the enabling act the chief justice, governor and secretary of New Mexico will meet as a board to canvass the returns of the elec- tion on the proposed constitution, and transmit the same to the Presi- dent. It will be three weeks later before the Arizona canyassiEg board will meet. The return from New Mexico can and will be in the hands of the President at least three weeks before Congress ad- journs, in ample time for executive approval and transmission to Con- gress; while the Arizona return can not possibly reach Washington be-
 fore Congress adjourns.
 The advocates of the Arizona constitution assert that if the Presi- dent sends the New Mexico consti- tuition to Congress without the Arizona constitution accompany ing, Congress will hold it up and let it go over to the next Congress so both constitutions will be before that body at the same time, and be accepted or rejected together.
 All advancing that assertion lose sight of the fact that under the en- abling act to hold up the New Mexico constitution would not send it over to the next session of Con- gress. When Congress adjourns on the third of March, without dis approving the instrument, if the President has approved and trans mitted it, New Mexico will be a state. And Arizona will have tc wait until the next Congress. There is no way for the friends of Arizona to hold back New Mexico except to induce Congress to reject its
