RESEARCH WORK IN TROPICS
New York Geological Society Has Sta
ton in British Guiana-Woman
Is Official Artist.

The tive. principal fields of activity
of the New York Geological society are
the geological park in the Bronx and
the aquarium at the Battery. A third
undertaking has been the successful es-
tablishing of a tropical research sta
ton in British Guiana, South America,
under the dictatorship Of William
Beebe. This laboratory is situated in
bungalows at the edge of the tropical
jungle, and although almost on the
equator the absence of flies and mos
quitoes, the cool nights and the COM
Portable living conditions make it an
ideal place for scientists and artists to
carry on research.
This last season IT workers took ad-
vantage Of the station. The. official
artist of the expedition is Miss Isabelle
Cooper. This last year she executed
over 300 water colors of creatures
such as insects, fish, frogs, lizards,
snakes, bats and other organisms
whose delicate coloring vanishes al
most Immediately after DEATH The
subjects are all drawn from life, being
held in the hand and studied under
hand lens. The intricacy of detail and
fidelity to the natural coloration, to-
gether with the beauty of very real ar
tistic feeling, makes the paintings
worthy of comparison with the work
of Japanese artists.

A TRIP TO CANADA
For THE PALISADIAN.


Canada is a foreign country with
habits and people peculiarly different
to the people who live across it's
southern border. Leaving New York
City in the evening I awoke in the
early flush of the morning and when
the sun rose I caught sight of freight
cars bearing the names of the Can
adam Pacific and Grand Trunk Roads
and knew l was on foreign soil.
Arriving in Toronto, to my intense
establishment l saw the streets deco
rated (shall l say?) with the hated
British flag in honor of the unpopular
Tin the Imperial sense of Holland and
Germany Lord Bing, of Vimy, the
new Governor General.
Canada is so different from it's
81 'thern neighbor because it has large
areas of unused land heavy war taxes
and countless numbers of men out of
employment. 1t is forced to establish
a high tariff on wheat to prevent the
American farmers destroying the Can
adam market. 1t must also prevent its
people from being flooded with man
ufactured goods made by the low-paid
American factory hands. 1t believes
in Prohibition Tin spots), Control of
the Liquor Traffic Gin spots), and
Personal Liberty Tin spots)
One is courteously treated by the
car conductors who say "step lively,
there" pleasantly and invitingly.
The Canadian Government tries
hard to solve the unemployment ques-
ton, but it is like pressing corks down
into water. They will bob up again
as soon as the pressure is removed.
Land is given away, but as soon as
the title is awarded the ungrateful
settlers are apt to sell out and retire
on the money. ct is so different
with us).
My trip took me to Ottawa, which
is in the dry province of Ontario,
across the river from Hull which is in
the wet Province of Quebec. The
Mayor of Hull was considerably
peeved at the wicked citizens of OF
tawa who came across the bridge and
gave bad name to the simple citizens
of Hull But if you keep your gar
bage on your doorstep you must not
be astonished at the number of flies.
The Canadian forests are being
rapidly ground into paper pulp most Of
which is brought to the United States
under an exceedingly low tariff which
does not protect the aristocratic
American lumberjack from the pau
pers of the frozen north. Protective
Tariff newspapers please copy)

Now, Who'll Answer Jane?

Jane, who lives at Sixty-frst street
terrace and Main street, is at that
"just before kindergarten" age when
life appears an exciting experiment.
She tries all the possibilities in new
things she encounters in her busy
days, even going so far as to make
the good old English language do
trick for her whim.
Jane experimental with toy bal
loon the other day, initiating it to dan
gerous proportions so that the escap-
ing air would blow the whistle as long
as possible. Bystanders foresaw dis
aster as the balloon, under pressure
from James lusty lungs, grew alarm
ingly.
Jane considered their warning cries
without excitement. Then she asked
calmly:
'If I break the balloon, will the
whistle whis ?"-Kansas City Star.

NOT MODELS OF c0NSTANCY
Observer Has Found That House.
Wrens Occasionally Figure in
Birds "Divorce Court"

Little birds in their nests agree"
So likewise do their parents, presunl-
ably. But there has been much specu-
lation as to whether pairs of birds,
once married, do or do not perpetuate
the welded relation from year to year.
How about the house-wren? 1t is a
gentle and virtuous bird, almost SEMI
domesticated, as one might say, mas
much as it customarily builds Its nest
in or about human habitations. People
who have watched the habits Of house.
wrens have often been heard to say
that they were sure the same pairs re-
turned to the same nesting places sea-
son after season. They were pro-
claimed as models Of marital con-
stancy.
However, Mr.. S. Prentiss Baldwin Of
Cleveland, who for many years has
made the trapping and banding Of
birds his special hobby (afterward re-
leasing them to be subsequently -e.
trapped perhaps and identified), has
found that house-wrens are no more re-
liable in their cOnjugal relations than
folks. In some instances these rela-
tons are perpetuated from season to
season; but often it happens that a
house-wren, male or female, INDUCES
in violent Irritation, even making
bluff at starting housekeeping, and
then making final choice Of another
mate. Divorces occur. A gentleman
house-wren may marry, rear family
and then leave his wife, going off with
an establishment with her. Where
upon there is nothing for the deserted
female to do but get another husband.

Photoqraphs BoreaIis.

A Norwegian scientist, M. Stormer,
was able to have photographed, at sew
eral points in his country, the aurora
borealis seen last May, which upset
telegraph lines and cables, and provid-
ed gorgeous display in many parts Of
the world. Comparing these photo
graphs at the same time, he has calcu-
lated the height at which this aurora
borealis was spread forth-namely,
3121a miles. Thus, since the aurora
borealis is by proof an electrical illumi-
nation of the rarefied air gases, the
earth's atmosphere extends at least
that distance above the earth's surface.

Spaeth won the Democratic and
Spence the Republican nomination.

TAKES 300 MILE TAXI RIDE
Woman's Trip Is Profitable to Driver
Who Gets Big Tip and
Extra Fares.

London.-A taxicab ride of 800
miles was made by an elderly Scotch
woman who, desiring to visit relatives
in Braemar, Scotland, decided that it
was too warm to travel by train. So
she stopped Frederick Clarke, taxi
cab driver, as he was driving past her
house and had him take her to the
North of Scotland.
Clarke picked up passengers for
shorter hauls on his way back. so that
his entire journey of 1000 miles,
which he covered without even pune
ture, was decidedly profitable. Be-
sides a~substantial fare,s the elderly
woman gave him $50 tip.

Much Money Spent for Coal.

One federal building in Wall street,
New York, now holds gold coin and
bullion having value of 81, 800 OO,-
600. This is one fifth of all the gold
that has been produced in the world
since the beginning of civilization.
Never before has so much of the pre-
cious yellow metal been collected in one
place at one time. But great as is
this enormous treasure which lies in
one of Uncle Sans assay offices, it
has only one half of the value of the
total quantity of coal purchased by
fuel consumers in the United States
in a single year.-Floyd w. Parsons,
