who live in the few coast settlements
and spend much of their spare time
in scientific work. The insects are
stunted, but rather pretty. There are
1888 species of all kinds of fauna now
known in Greenland. These consist
of Al species of beetles, 46 moths and
butterflies and IS hyrnenoptera, con-
sistiug of bees, wasps and ants.
Flies Who Love Cold.
A. curiosity of the collection was
two flies of a species Identical with
some collected by DR.. Aldrich on a
high peak in Colorado several years
ago. Between the two points they
this points to an. important scientific
theory that climatic conditions have
more to do with the distribution of
insect life than geographical prox-
unity, since the climate of the Colo
RADIO peak was practically identical
with that of the great Arctic island.
Few of the types in the collection are
strictly confined to Greenland. most
occurring in Nova Zembla, Spitbergen
and probably along the northern
coast of Siberia, although this region
has never been, explored thoroughly
by entomologists.
Life Confned to Coast.
Life is confined largely to the
Greenland coast because the interior,
a. great glacial mountain which is
practically unexplored, probably af-
fords nothing upon which even primi-
tive forms could feed.
The exchange is especially priced
by scientists here because hitherto
there have been only three specimens
of Greenland insects in the museum.
Two specimens of most of the species
were sent, among them some of those
from which the original classifications
were made by Danish scientists.

dressing a dinner meeting of the As

Right now our greatest handicap
is the merchant himself. When he

good In the meantime the bad check
artist is floating other checks Or
the merchants may be afraid of a suit
for false arrest. Forget that. Tho
burden Of proof is now up to the man
who draws the check. If he hasn't
sufficient funds in the bank the law
presumes an intent to defraud on his
part
Advice to Merchants.
my advice to the merchants OF
Washington is to act Immediately.
Don't make the mistake Of waiting
and giving the swindler chance to
float other checks. Just as soon as a.
check comes back to you, send it to
us. 1t is more than probable we have

Stuck on pins in shallow box less
than foot square received this week
at the National Museum here from
Copenhagen are specimens of nearly
half the living creatures from the
worlds seventh continent.
1t is a collection of eighty speci-
mems of flies and mosquitoes from
Greenland. obtained by exchange
with the Danish national museum by
DR.. ]. NJ. Aldrich, curator of insects.
IT includes two species of the far
thest north examples of life. little files
differing slightly in appearance from
the North American house fly. These
are obtained within $50 miles of the
north pole, DR.. Aldrich says, where
there is no vegetation. They live en-
tirely on decomposed fish thrown up
from the water on the narrow
stretch of sand.
Barren OF Life.
Greenland, according to National
Museum scientists, is curiously bar
rem of life even when it's inhospitable
climate is taken into consideration.
At one time in history animals and
Gus. Life of all kinds, even the
lowest forms of plants, were killed
off entirely during the last ice age,
so that the great island was as dead
as the surface of the moon. Very
slowly. through countless centuries,
life has crept back into the vacuum
and gone north almost by inches The
DR.. Aldrich says, Is largely respon-

REVENUE BUILDING
FAVORED BY MELLON
Work of Bureau Retarded by Be-
ing Scattered, He Replies
to Critics.

One of the major needs of the in
ternal revenue bureau, in the opinion
of Secretary Mellon, is a building in
which to concentrate the work which
now is being done in many separate
buildings scattered all over the city.
In any discussion of tax reform, or
methods of the operation of the in
ternal revenue bureau, which have
been the subject of attack within the
past few days by the national in
6ustrial conference board, the Secre-
tary feels it should be emphasized
that much improvement could be eff
fected if the papers could be assembled
from the numerous places where they
are being considered.
In the case of corporation tax re-
turns. for instance, it was pointed out
last night at the Treasury. such pa
pers have to be handled from view
point of their various phases, and by
various divisions
Not only is the bureau hampered
by being located in different build
ings, but it Is crowded for space in
those buildings it does occupy, ac-
cording to officials.
