COMPLETE failure of the Har-
ding conference on the limi-
~ tation of ornaments and on
the problems Of the Pacific and
Far East Is an impossibility. Those
who cynically predict that nothing
will come Of the conference are
riding to a disappointment. Those
who ecstatically pirate of world
disarmament are performing doubt
full public service by exciting undue
expectation. To arrive at under
standings between nations to allay
suspicion and distrust Is the high
good that may well result. Limira-
ton Of ornaments logically would
follow. America Is cordially dis
posed to keep step with advanced
thought, to reduce burdens OF tax
alton, to limit ornaments. But the
decision can not be that OF the
United States alone. 1t depends
upon the attitude OF other nations,
upon the character Of their inspira-
lions. Their sincerity is undues-

HOW THE MOLLUSKS TRAVEL
Attach Themselves to Water Fowl and
Are Thus Transported for Con-
siderable Distances.

One of the problems That continually
coufronts the naturalist is to account
for the distribution of identical forms
OF life among widely separated lncali-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them in
advance of their actual detection.
Some interesting facts have boon
brought out concerning the dispersion
of fresh-water mollusks,. accounting
for their appearance in remote and
isolated ponds. 1t appears that water
fowl play an important. part, IA this
work. Ducks have been known TO
carry musscls attached to their feet
hundred miles or more. Biralvc moi
lusks not infrequently cling TO the
toes Of wading birds, and are thus
transported for considerable distances.
Even aquatic insects have been known
to carry small fresh-water mollusks
attached to their legs.
In such manner does Nature, compel
the various inhabitants Of the earth to
assist one another whether they will or
not.
