Carnegie Institution Bulletin Re.
lates Breeding Experiments on
Florida Coast.

Paul Bartsch. curator of the division
OF marine invertebrates. has recently
returned from the Florida keys and Dry
Tortugas- The expedition was made
under the auspices of the Carnegie In
stitution. The purpose Oft trip was
to determine the results which have
developed in the breeding experiments
which he is undertaking on these is
lands that stretch for more. than 200
miles along our south Atlantic coast.
The breeding experiments deal with
land molluskas, which ware transplant
ed by DR.. Bartsch in 1912, from Andres
Island. Bahamas. to our shores.
From the results observed last year
he was able to say that tremendous
changes have taken place-jthat IL. the
onsprings grown in our own territory
were larger. more robust in general and
differed materially in sculpture. The
change was SO great. he points out in
the publication 212 of the Carnegie In
stitutfon. that naturalists unfamiliar
with the history of these specimens
would have considered the first genera

and passenger costs. He declared that
it involved arbitrary assumption of
average weights of cars and loads.

said, lis the engine ton-mile basis,
which gives some consideration to

accepting the principle the tons and

figures are kept and the ratio can be

ROTA A HARD-LUCK ISLE.
Devastating Hurricane Followed by
Drought, Threatening Famine.

The Island of Rota, in the Ladrone

hurricane, now has a drought and its
people are threatened with starvation.
On reports received yesterday through
the Navy and State departments the

A cablegram also was sent to the Jap
anese Red Cross asking for help. A
Japanese warship, it is understood here,
is nearby. Americans at Guam have
already contributed enough food to
maintain 500 people for two weeks.
The island is located at a point where
the northeast trade winds cease and
the monsoons meet and hurricane con-
