came into view. A boating party started
from the camp at Kartabo. AS the rowers
passed out from the sandy beach and
toward rocky one, to the right Of which
rose a grove Of mangroves, one pair of
eyes saw head and spearlike snout stick
ing out Of the water He motioned the
oarsmen to peak their oars, and the boat
lay quiet for moment while he followed
with his eyes what instinct had already
warned him was another specimen of
atavism.
This was a find, indeed, but what was
his astonishment when. drifting slowly
down stream, the wake followed by the
boat drew In toward muddy inlet and
forth from the water emerged a giant
fish!
On the edge OF the stream the creature
paused for a second, eyeing suspiciously
the floating boat. Then as II treasured
thaat no harm was intended IL plunged
awkwardly up the bank, dived under
fringe Of grasses and was lost to sight.
But not before the astonished watchers
had seen that IL was fish of respectable
length completely incased in a defensive
armor Of huge. hard scales.
1t was a catfish, surely, but armed cdp-a-
pic and walking on landl
The stay OF the fish ashore was not
protracted. While one man Of the party
landed and went cautiously around the
mound In which he had disappeared to
head him off the boat was kept close to
shore. Three or four minutes passed and

which extends unbroken across the greater
part of the continent. The locality at
Kartabo Bartica District British Guiana,
where the Mazaruni and Cuyuni rivers
Join, demonstrated in the first season its
exceptional advantages as the site for a
permanent station.
So fruitful have been the results of re-
search in this neighborhood that there
are even those scientists with imagination
fired by frequent and rich discoveries that
here and not in the East was the birthplace
of the world! This being true, Is II so
wild guess that footsteps of antique man
himself may still be found there, perhaps
q lineal descendant of the first man who
ever trod this planet!
Thus when the research party sent to
South America by the New York Zoologi-
cal Society to hunt for creatures in the
eastern tropical forests of the Amazonian
basin reports to the world a discovery OF
a missing link in the biology of reptile.
insect, bird or mammal, the most ignorant
of us stop to listen. For here is concrete
fact with a meaning that appeals to wide
curiosity.
Under the single direction of Or. Beebe
the study will take mp that most singular
survivor OF the indefinite period when
earth in the making was waterbound. the
armored catfish. Seen by glimpses in a
previous expedition, this creature is to be
the star quest of the present one.
In search for missing links in this
tropical corner OF the world were to be in
cuded, of course, any possible amphibians,
but II was by chance this particular one
The New York herald., 1922-03-26

q CARCELY possible is It for scien-
y tifc discovery to get wide notice
unless II has a human angle. Man
is profoundly interested in man, and
greater TO him would mean way open
ing to knowledge OF the First Man than
the discovery beyond doubt of the earliest
animals.
When the latest finding of the New
York Geological Society's little research
party shall be given to the public 1t will
hardly prove an exception. On the edge
of the jungle in British Guiana, where
there are numerous low forms of different
groups OF animal life that lead straight
back to past geological ages. Director
William Beebe in his latest expedition has
found a fish that descends directly from
the Devonian Age, the Age of Fishes, the
period when the sea "transgressed the
land"
In itself OF immense biological interest,
this discovery Of catfish-with type fully
developed-armored with huge, hard
scales, that Is able TO live on land and
water and procure its food from both, a
fish that dates back million years and
has not been seen on earth within that
unthinkable period, really sends the ordi-
nary man TO wonder whether, as the en-
bryonic wilderness-that is. those parts Of
tn, earth's darkness-continues to be ex-
piored, there will not emerge from 10 prim-
ftive man.
The New York herald., 1922-03-26

In addition to this salient creature the
Geological researches in South America,
indeed in this small section of the ANA
zonian basin, have turned up seventy
forms Of missing links" that tell the
strange story of evolution in the insect,
reptile and bird worlds. There in British
Guiana may have been the dawning place
Of life of any kind Certainly enough evil
the nursery of all manner of things by
means Of evolution. And there are to-day
found living creatures that have not been
found-although that does not mean they
never may be found therein any other
part Of the tropics.
DR.. Beebe says of the weird fish,
This fish, still living in British Guiana,
and nowhere else so far as known, Is
without doubt left over from the Devo-
nian period. II is a regular catfish Of
great size and differs in type only by being
incased in a true defensive armor of huge,
hard scales.
THE catfish which Is very shy and
whose habits are therefore difficult to
study, is amphibious. getting its prey alike
In the water and on land. Carrying a
sponge of substance like moss in Its
mouth IL saturates this sponge with water
and climbs out in the mud and debris of
river bank in search of food. So long
az this sponge remains diluted the fish is
able to live out OF water"

Or. Beebe chose the eastern edge of the
tropical rsin-forest OF South America.

then the sharp snout was seen again pro-
truding from the grasses and the reptilian
body swirled toward the water.
On the brink It seemed to gasp and
ripple ran down its horned back, then
with leap 1t landed In Its native element
and was seen no more.
To have seen the armored catfish once
was sufficient to determine the members
of the party to see him again, to trace
him at least to his lair on land and to
study him at close range.
DR.. Beebe found that this specimen was
only one of many. And the difficulties Of
study grew out OF his shyness.
In the opinion OF scientists the reason
for the presence of such large number
OF prehistoric forms Of organic life in this
edge of the South American jungle is that
while all the rest Of the globe was over
whelmed by waters and getting cold, too
cold for much OF the life 1t found existent,
this particular quarter preserved tenn
perate climate. The moderate warmth
preserved the strange creatures until this
day.
MANY low forms OF invertebrates have
rewarded our search" said Director Beebe,
shortly before he sailed for Georgetown.
"Others, like the armored catfish have
come to our knowledge by chance. We
had no idea Of their existence until we
saw them.
THE paripatus, curious caterpillar or
worm, will have a fair share OF our study.
IL is very low form of life and may be
called either a pre-worm or q pre-insect.

Missing LinkmmDewnianA Observation-Disclosures

II is far from being common, inhabiting
rotten logs. II our whole party were
turned over to find a paripatus and one
were to be found in day l should call 1t
good days work"
The hoatzin, link between lizard and
bird, is one of the astonishing discoveries
made by the research party of 1917 No
one can compute how old this queer species
is nor hazard guess of what time IL took
to develop embryo wings on which to grow
feathers. Dr. Beebe said in speaking OF
the creature:
80 thoroughly does the hoatzin seem to
embody past bird life on the earth that l
believe IL / can only watch 1t long enough,
with sufficient keenness and controlled
Imagination, some significant hint of avian
evolution is certain to be revealed.
More than anything of which know,
this strange bird or lizard is to me an in
spiration to keep hoping and working for
more light on this fascinating phase of
terrestrial evolution"
Evolutionary problems are indeed those
which attract the director most strongly
DR.. Beebe said that the station this year
would be open until May for the work OF
the research party, and when II returns
home 1t is to be succeeded by a research
party from Cambridge University, England.
"As we leave the work off they will take
1t up And the purpose Of all OF us this
year Is to study creatures which have lasted
over a million years."

careful, but at the same time you ponder
deeply on the unkind stars; as a type this
woman has been relegated to a fate in
which she has had no voice 1t isn't even
modern!
And this creature is neglected in more
senses than one. In appearance she is in
noticeable contrast to both the Americans
and French. She looks ten years older
than she need at 40, instead of ten younger
as is the aim of all modern business
women.
Throughout the country the neglected
woman is even more neglected.
Il never meet man Of my own class"
said one: Il haven't in years! l haven't
talked to a gentleman since left Calais!"
Is 1t any wonder they adored war work?
And the young married woman wonders
how her growing daughter will ever meet
a man. This is frequent topic of con-
versation in villages particularly. In the

who was nobodys inferior. An old estab-
lished custom of educating sons to the
exclusion of daughters made for the
strength of the empire, which seemed made
for men by men. The "plums" have gone
to men for generations. The law of primo
geniture, which preserves the estate for
the eldest son at the expense of the daugh-
ters. is an example and the remaining
divorce law is another. Women's long
drawn out difficulty in obtaining the vote
is an evidence. The spinster type is a
result.
And the typical London spinster is not
a negligible quantity nor quality; she is
on the whole defiant and she tends to be-
come freak. They dominate the London
bus. You sit and watch them one by one

The New York herald., 1922-03-26

TN many past ages IT was customary to
kill girl babies so that the nations
practicing this unpleasant pastime
might not become too populous. But in
late times women have not been thought
too great burden for a nation to carry.
In fact women have rather been welcomed
by a male population that always needs
wives.
But England now is suffering situation
that is parallel in some respects to that of
the old time nations which cut down the
supply Of girls. There are two million
women in England doomed to die old
maids.
Thus there is a fraction of a man in the
matrimonial market reserved for every
eleventh English woman. There are two
whole million surplus women. To every
eleven women there are ten men, with
most annoying fraction left over.
1t is therefore the bald and unblushing
truth that two million women in highly
civilized England are to be deprived Of
their very birthright-the right to mar
riage or to maternity And this Is not the
whole truth, for many men In this country
do not marry but prefer bachelor exist
ence. Other most desirable and attractive
men leave England to occupy Government
posts throughout the empire and numbers
of the more adventurous drift to the colo
nies. 1t is next thing to impossible to
state the full number of extras in women,
but 1t is fortunate that no one particular
young woman is predestined each has a
fighting chance II marriage be her object.
Not to be wanted by anybody on earth
is a terrible fate for pretty girl to con-
template. 1t has a shattering effect upon
the spirit, and the fact that to-day thou
sands Of non-marrying women solve their
problem by life of society, sport, study,
business or some hobby does not account
for vast numbers more of the unwanted
without an object in life.
High handed schemes have been devised
for placing these unfortunates in their
proper niche, as If they were old Roman
chattels: "Polygamy might be legalized for
a time," but this was hooted down; ''the
right to maternity"-always hanging fire
was clutched at by the feminist press, and
then one Charlotte Cowdroy, author of
"Thwarted Women" evolved her own
unique solution. She would provide the
now notorious eleventh with a derelict
whom the law should snatch away from a
legal wife after seven childless years. We
are left with sorry picture of the
wretched eleventh as Patient Griselda"

mitting weakly to a hair pulling test at

stockings. These are not mere accusations,
because these pathetic soliloquies have
been witnessed from the top of Kensington
Gardens to the bottom of Hyde Park, where
is is their time honored custom to walk
alone after solitary tea, and there too the
cardinal hose have been discovered in all
their glory, although the meaning of them
is not quite plain.
The Royal Borough of Kensington pro-
duces some strange characters. One dwells
on her vanished beauty-her gold hair
her great blue eyes, and there is the proof;
you get a ripple from that vast ocean of
Saxon beauty which once rolled over Eng
land and has not left the land dry even
now. These weird creatures hold on to
other women with slender hand; one has
a title which she has put aside; another
had a fortune taken from her by some
''pretender" that one was a writer and
had her public once; and here is a play
wright whose plays were taken from her
boldly by thieving actor; the West End
is made up of thieves who have her plays;
