ANIMAL LIFE AND CLIMATE
Abundant Proof That Extremes Of
Temperature Do Not Preclude
Possibility Of Existence.

The contention of DR.. Abbott Of the
Smithsonian astrophysical observatory
that because of the cold climate OF
Mars life could not exist upon that
planet is not convincing.
Polar bears rejoice in temperatures
so low that little vegetation at any
time Of the year exists in the ATTITUDES
In which they are found. The exist
ence Of tigers In Korea, which has n
New England climate, supposedly
changed by sea currents when the
country's fauna was tropical, shows
how animals common to. the hottest
parts OF the earth adapt themselves to
climate as cold by comparison with
the tropics as the climate Of Mars Is
by comparison with the regions in
which the Eskimos live. Monkeys
from Africa died so fast Of tubercu-
loses In heated houses that the NOR
tality rate forced an experiment. as
the result Of which African monkeys
are living out of doors all the year
In one of Chicago's parks.
If life as we know it, human. ami
nal or vegetable. could not withstand
the climate Of Mars, might not life
adapted to the climate flourish? The
fabulous salamander lived in fire. An
Eskimo, newly arrived In Moscut or
Bagdad, could believe that since men
could live in such places reptiles easily
might bask upon live Goals and frolic
in flames. Why might not life, adapted
thereto, exist in temperature Of 800
degrees above, or below, zero If man
from the polar regions can become
acclimated in the tropics, or vice
versa ?-Louisville Courier-Journal.

- COMMUNAL Mind.

Certain things in animal life lead me
to suspect that animals have some
means Of communication with one an
other. especially the gregarious ami
mails. that is quite independent of
what we mean by language. It is like
an interchange or blending of sub
conscious states. and may be analo-
g0us to telepathy among human beings.
Observe what a unit flock of birds
becomes when performing their evo.
lutions in the air. They are not many,
but one. turning and flashing in the
sun with unity and precision that
1t would be hard to initiate. One may
see flock Of shore birds that behave
as one body. now they turn to the
sun sheet Of silver; then, as their
dark backs are presented to the be-
holder, they almost disappear against
the shore or In the clouds. 1t would
seem as If they all shared in a COM
munal mind or spirit, and that what
one felt they all felt at the same in
stant.-John Burroughs.

TERMS OF TREATY
QUESTION OF DISARMAMENT is
SUBJECT OF THREE NOTES TO
GERMAN DELEGATES.
Security Police Must be Disbanded
Within Three Months, But Dis
eiplinary Forces May be In
creased, It is Decided.

Berlin.-Three notes dealing prin-
cipally with the question of German
disarmament, have been received by
the president of the German peace
delegation. The first outlines many
infringements of the military clauses
of the peace treaty, saying the allies
have determined to reduce the Ger
man army to 100000 men. The
security police, this note adds, must
disband within three months, but gives
permission for the disciplinary force
to be increased to 10000. Demand is
made that the German constitution be
made to conform with these military
stipulations so that CONSUMPTION may
be abolished by law. In conclusion,
the note asks that legal measures be
taken against the export Of war ma
terials.
Details Of the substitution of $50, 900
disciplinary police for the security
police are supplied in the second
note.
In view Of the incomplete delivery
of aeronautical matter, the third note
says the construction of such ma
terial, which was to be resumed in
Germany on July 10, may not be re-
sumed until three months after the
surrender to the allies of the aeronau.
tical material called for is completely
carried out.
