u. S. Soldiers in Test Give Doctors
Clue to Dengue Fever Cure In Manila

The research board investigating
the disease found, said Lieut.. Col.
Siler, that it was transmitted by the
same mosquito and in exactly the
same way that yellow fever is carried
from person to person. "To become
infected, the mosquito must bite the
patient with dengue during the first
three days of illness, the living organ
ism causing the disease must live and
mature in the mosquito for II days
before the insect becomes capable of
transmitting the disease through the
bites, and once the insect becomes
capable of transmitting the disease,
it retains that capacity throughout
the remainder of it's life," he adds.
The application Of the knowledge
acquired through this investigation
has resulted in the reduction of the
number of dengue patients among
the soldiers on duty in the Philip
pines from so in every 1000 to less
than 20 per 1000, Lieut.. Col. Siler de-
clared.

PLANT LIFE TRACED
NORTH POLE ORIGIN
Scientist Gives Evidence to Support
His Theory of Evolution Of
Flowers, Etc.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, December o.
The evolution of modern plants and of
modern climates began together at the
North Pole some six or seven million
years ago, when the last of the dino
saurs were still numbering about the
earth. 1t continued with increasing
speed through the tertiary age. which
followed, until the comparatively re-
cent time OF the glaciers. It was dur
ing this time, according to the record
of the rocks, that the plants of the
earth began to show evidences of be-
ing divided into growth zones inf1u-
enced by climate; until then all the
earlier plants were of types such as
now grow in the tropics, and they
were distributed evenly over the whole
earth, indicating the prevalence. of a
uniformly warm climate.
At the meeting of the American b.
tanical Society here yesterday DR.. Ar
thur Hollick of the New York Botani.
cal Garden outlined the evidence for
his theory that the first temperate
zone plant life evolved in the polar re-
gions. The higher forms of Towering
plants, he said, are primarily adapta-
lions to climate of alternating warm
and cold seasons, and their final inva-
sion of the still uniformly warm
tropics has been recent and is mat
ter of competition with the plants they
found there rather than a response to
climatic urge.
It is in the tropics today that the
only relics Of the vegetation of an
earlier world, the cycada and similar
plants. remain to contest with the late
coming modern plants for foothold.
Plant fossils of tertiary age from the
tropics are very little different from
the living plants Of the same regions,
whereas tertiary fossils from the re-
gions of the earth where Winter
comes show evidences of radical and
rapid evolution.

INFLUENCES OF SCIENCES
ON RELIGION FORESEEN
Professor of Psychology Cites
"Growing Importance" of Altru-
istic and Social Theories as Proof.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, December 29.-
Many sciences may be expected to
play a part in the religion of the fu-
ture, DIR. George Ross Wells, profess
sor of psychology of Hartford Semi
nary Foundations told the American
Psychological Association at its
meeting here yesterday afternoon.
Referring to the growing impor-
lance of the altruistic and social side
of religion, DR.. Wells said: Individual
and social evils are now recognized as
having entirely natural causes and
are therefore to be remedied by
natural means. Discovery and ap-
plication of such means requires the
scientific viewpoint and the scientific
method"
The minister of today is seldom
trained to do humanitarian work eff
ficiently, he declared. Humanitarian
ism should become an expert profess
sion or group of professions. Naming
the scientific lines of knowledge
needed by religion, DR.. Wells included
law, ethics, psychology, education,
sociology and craftsmanship. The
psychological factors in present day
religion. DR.. Wells said, are magic,
mysticism, conservatism and humani-
tarianism.

CATCHING INSECTS
IN CLOUDS DEPICTED
"Fishing" Process in That
Line Held More Sporty Than
Catching Butterflies.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

PHILADELPHIA, December o.
A new sport has been inaugurated-
fishing for insects in the clouds. 1t
is far more exciting than catching
butterflies In the fields, for 1t In
wolves an airplane ride or else use
of the kite, beloved since boyhood.
But while 1t affords an entertain.
ing sport for the entomologist there
is something a little disappointing in
the thought that the beautiful sky is
perhaps infested with insects that
plague the earth.
That they actually are present as
much as half a mile above the ground
was declared today by DR.. E. p. Felt,
New York State entomologist, before
the chronological Society of Amer
lea in session here.
Tnaugurators OF New Sport.
DR.. Felt and DIR. B. r. Coad, United
States entomologist Of Tallulah, La,
were the inaugurators Of the new
sport. BY means Of traps attached to
airplanes, DR.. Felt has caught flies
of two species and an adult corn
root naggot at elevations of from
1000 to 1900 feet. One species of
fly was identified as an insect that is
ordinarily found close to the ground
and ia the shade. 1t was commonly
believed that the insect could not oc-
cur more than 10 feet above the
ground.
The experiments of DR.. Coad at
Tallulah indicate the general occur.
renee Of small insects at even greater
attitudes than the ones where they
were trapped by DR.. Felt.
Form Of Trap Described.
The trap contains a sectional area
of some s by 10 inches and is ar.
ranged with glass slides smeared with
tree tanglefoot. When an airplane
is not available DR.. Felt suggests the
use of kites which will carry the
traps successfully to an elevation of
1900 feet or more.
Fishing for insects in the upper air
Is not only an entertaining sport for
scie ntists, but throws light on insect
habits hitherto scarcely suspected
and, according to DR.. Felt, may also
give valuable information concerning
