Queen Mary are said to be on the eve
OF visit to the United States.
Just what to do, with the British
ruler and his ,consort when they land
on these shores has Washington dip
lomats, statesmen and society sitting
up nights trying to figure out. New
York society has reached the stage
of almost nervous prostration trying
to guess where 1t will get OF on the
same mometous occasion:
Now that Mrs. Astor has arrived.
the wise ones are up a tree, metaphor
ically. To desert Mrs. Fish and Mrs.
Oelrichs and rally to the standard OF
Mrs. Aston with the chance Of being
included in 4 probable audience with
royalty under circumstances where
Mrs. Astor may play the leading role.

On the ether hand. to- flock too
quickly to Mrs. Aston may put the
elect in bad way, for the return OF
Mrs. Aston may be only temporary
affair. and her departure for England,
much beloved Of the Astors. may leave
them outside the bars when Mrs. Fish
and Mrs. Oelrichs again step Into
power. -" H. 'y,1.,.-} :
That Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Oelrichs
will not give up leadership without q
bitter struggle is only too apparent.

SECURE SPECIMENS
Expeditions of Smithsonian
AGENTS Narrated In Report.
instlsutlon's New Pamphlet Tells Of
Work 81 Different Parties and Of
Many Specimens Reeelved--
Solar Rays Variable.

Misunderstanding the Custom
established In 1911. the Smithsonian
Institution has just issued an Illus
trated pamphlet dealing with the
many scientific expeditions conducted
under its direction. or In which Its
representatives participated. ,.s !
The pamphlet describes the work OF
about twenty different parties. and
the territory covered includes certain
portions OF British East Africa. Abys-
sinia, Algeria. Eastern Siberia and
Mongolia, the Altai mountains. Bor-
neo. st. Lawrence island. Alaska,
British Columbia, Alberta, Newfound-
land, Labrador. the Panama canal
Iona, and the Bahama islands, and
many sections Of the United States.
The institution was represented by
two small parties In Borneo. 49,.
DR.. w. L. Abbott, who financed the
Dutch East Borneo expedition under
Nj. H. C. Raven, and who has present
ed many large collections to the Ma
tional museum. has been carrying on
q personal Investigation in Cashmere,
whers he has been trapping and
studying the smaller mammals of that
country, specimens OF which have
been sent to the museum.
Through the invitation Of DR.. Theo-
dore Lyman OF Harvard university.
the Institution was enabled to CO
operate with the Museum OF Compar.

Altai mountains OF Siberia and Mon

George Mixter, another collaboration
of the museum, also visited Siberia.
where he secured certain mammals
from the region about Lake Baikal.

OF particular interest was trip
made by d.. Ales Hrdlicka to Siberia
and Mongolia, to study the physical
anthropology Of the natives. His par
ticular object was = search for data
concerning the race which II supposed
to have peopled America He draws
the conclusion that there exist in sew
eral places in Siberia, Mongolia and
Tibet numerous remains of an ancient
QOPu1RllOu, which W0o RhSSsS"-s
Identical with and in all probability
gave rise to the American Indian.
The hunting trip carried on by Paul
J. Rainey In British East Africa; in
which tho Institution was represented
by Edmund Heller, was terminated In
December, 1911. and since then the
collection has been received At the
National museum. Altogether the
trip was q remarkably successful one;
nearly 1000 mammals. 1000 reptiles,
and 400 birds were obtained.
The astrophysicial observatory Of
the Smithsonian Institution again sent
IN expedition TO Bassotlr. Algeria, for
the continuation Of the observations
relative to the heat of the sun, an In.
vestigation on which the observatory
has been working for the past seven
years. with observing stations on
Mount Wilson, Cal. and during two
seasons In Algeria. Mr.. Abbot. the
director Of the observatory. states
that tho observations of the last year
prove conclusively the supposed varia'
bility OF the solar rays.
