 But the pendulum of progress has swung changes into the lives of most folks. Nowadays, save at infrequent in tervals of war, the lives of soldier and sailor are, to some extent, much more safe than the daily routine of the prosaic ironworker who swings to his hazardous vocation five hundred feet above the crowded streets of great cities; while the life of the modern prototype of the an cient alchemist is filled with risk, dan ger and privation.
 Witness the orchid hunter A thou sand miles through steaming Borneo 1ungles, surrounded by rank fetid growths of swamp and river bed, in hourly risk from festive head hunters, is not too great a price to pay for a rare blossom.
 Nor does the prospect of a thousand mile jaunt over the chill Himalayan slopes daunt the plant explorer, if at the end of his journey he can find a tree, shrub. or root which will add to the available food supply of the world.

 'It was like going into the heart of Africa MT.

 Then back to Mexico for eighteen months went the two chronological ad- venturers- His first trip made on mule back. took Dr. Schaus through the state of Vera Cruz. This time they specialized principally in Salina Cruz.
 'Bandits?" asked Dr. Schaus, when in- terrogated as to whether he had run foul of any of that breed In Mexico .-Yes-and no.

silk-thin wings stretched in scientific preservation.
 Perhaps few of them, in whose memories still finger their days in chronological classrooms, will perceive that science has made great strides in the eataloguing of extant species of moths and butterflies.
 But it is safe to predict that prac- tically none of them will read in the carefully labeled cases the real human story that the insects tell. and realize that the two scientists who prepared them were men of as much mettle as any of the adventurers who with force of arms have penetrated the South American jungles sirce the days of Pizarro and Cortez
 In a small way, the price paid in human effort for these butterflies may be tabulated. Forty five years from the lives of these two men must lead the list and the significance of this cannot be dimmed by the fact that each of them is heart and soul scientist and that he gladly gave ur his time and energy to make this collection his greatest work.

tanning instructive one. II was edu-
Cational, in that many have not

end the getting on the tax books Of all

cash" lie said that this constituted
six sevenths Of the taxable property
in the State, and that when put on
the tax books, the States debt OF
over 81 100000 could be paid, and the
tax rate cut in half, thus equalizing
taxes and taking the burden from the
shoulders of those owning visible
property.
