DROFESSOG JASTROW calls
Il upon his colleagues to take a
broader view of the field of psychol-
ogy and to realize that the various
isms" are merely branches of the
same subject
Il am convinced that all phychol-
ogy is one no less than is physics or
chemistry he writes.
'The appearance of hopeless di-
vision is for the most part illusory,
and can be resolved as readily as
the famous contradictory descrip-
ton of the elephant by the blind
men, one of whom had him by The
ears, another by the tail, another by
the leg, another by the trunk and
none saw him rightly or whole for
lack of eyes to see.
For the structural and the func-
tional, the dynamic and the pUr-
posive, the interpretive and the ex-
perimental, the behaviorist and the
FreUdian, the Gestaltist and the
self psychologist and the other ism
renderings of the field of mind, are
all partial groupings to describe the
same beast, as nature made him,
and as those whose psychological
organs of vision are fully opened
readily can see him.
ut is obvious to the point of tru-
ism that there is only one psychol-
ogy and my stock answer to the per-
sistent inquiry as to what brand Of
psychology 1 profess is natralistic
psychology.
In common with every psychoI-
ogist, I am a student of human ma
ture, and my first and last obliga-
ton is to see that nature as nature
made it, and as man has remadc
it for his own purposes; for that
remaking and that. comprehension
is the true human glory"

Englishmen Eat Much,
but Few Put on Fat

The English are the leaDest race In
the world; one seldom sees a fat Eng
lishman, yet many Of them eat four
square meals every day, writes Will
liam Lyon Phelps In Scribner's Maya
zine. And when you do see a fat
Englishman you will find that he car
ries his weight remarkably well.
George Santayana told me new
story of the famous Oscar Browning,
Of Kings college, Cambridge. He ate
seven meals day. There are persons
who wake up In the middle of the
night and cannot fall asleep again I'M
til they have eaten something. But o.
B. set his alarm clock at three In the
morning in order that he might wake
and eat a herringl
Then at seven O'Clock tea and vari-
GUS eatables were brought to his bed
side. His third meal was breakfast,
at nine, and II was a substantial re.
past. He then ate nothing till lunch,
but he took care to make up for his
prolonged fast. His fifth meal came
at 4:30 and was high tea, with plenty
Of food. He then ate nothing till din
ner, which was a very elaborate af-
fair, In many courses and with a va
riety Of wines. His seventh and last
meal was a hearty supper, which he
took just before going to bed. He lived
to be eighty-three.
But what is eighty-threef An Eng
fish admiral at the age Of ninety-two
took a long walk with some friends,
and, apologizing for his slowness, he
cried: "Oh, II I we're only eighty
again !"

Idea of Modern Ship
Traced to Egyptians

Shlpbuilding had its birth on the
banks of the Nile, according to the be-
lief of Prof. Elliott Smith, expressed
in the London Magazine.
Although, he says, at a very early
period in the history Of mankind logs
and floats of various kinds were used
by many people to cross narrow sheets
Of water or for padding along coast
lines, the real history of boat building
began when the earliest jewellers on
the banks Of the Nile tied together
bundles of reeds to make floats.
These simple craft not only deter
mined the form of the wooden ships
that succeeded them, but the methods
Of construction for making the reed
floats, I. e., tying them together with
cords, were also adopted when wood
en- ships came to be built by adding
planks to the holIowed-out logs which
eventually degenerated into the mere
keel of the composite ship. Thus the
earliest Egyptian term for shipbuild-
ing was the word slgnifying ito bind
Even at the present time we still find
upon the Nile all these primitive
types that are survivals Of phases In
the history of shipbulldlng, some Of
them more than sixty centuries old.

Snakes in Captivity
Turn Into CannibaIs

Pythons, many of them Is feet long,
who are among the guests Of the Lon
don zoo, spend most of their time sub
merged In the water of the m0at sur
rounding the enclosure. A few of the
inhabitants of the park, especially the
cobras, become cannibals, and attack
and devour not only various harmless
species, but also some of their most
poisonous relations. Even puffadders
have been recorded as falling victims
to the cobras' viciousness and vo-
racity. Mr.. FitzSimmons, the curator
Of the Port Elizabeth museum, states
that a cobra versus puff-adder con-
test may last as long as an hour, and
that the latter does not give In to his
more agile adversary until the eff
fects of the injected venom of his
enemy have induced complete par
alysis. Not long ago keeper, in the
course of moving some of the snakes
in the enclosure, was bitten on the
hand by a large puff-adder. A spe-
cial serum kept on the premises was
Immediately injected into the victim,
and his life saved.

Tuakleaa Elephanta

The males among elephants of India
are frequently provided with tusks,
but this is by no means universal and
the finest physical development is
reached in those males that have no
tusks at all. These are known In
Burma as hines and In India as
mukna.
The tuskless males frequently dom
mate the tuskers, in which connection
the Burma and Indian riders have It
that a hine can defeat a tusker in a
fight by passing the trunk under one
Of his adversary's tusks and over the
other, and by applying pressure either
throwing him or smashing a tusk.
There is, so far as | know, no re.
liable evidence IN favor Of this, but
1t Is fact that tuskless males often
rule the herd.-A. W. Smith in the
Atlantic Monthly.

Mishap Gave Rhubarb
Grower Valuable Idea

Jacob Schwartz, a farmer living on
the outskirts Of Detroit about "a years
ago, was hauling a load Of fertilizer
when the wretched road finally got
such a tenacious grip on the wagon
wheels that he was forced to unload
the cargo. In so doing he covered
some rhubarb plants nearby. After
the roads had dried out the next
spring he retrieved the fertilizer, and
was surprised to discover that the
rhubarb, kept warm by the decaylng
organic matter, had been growing all
winter. The stalks were not red.
streaked with green, but almost pure
red in color, and instead Of large
leaf at the top there was little leaf
Of creamy yellow. The stalks looked
so attractive that he persuaded his
wife to try them in some pies. So
delicious was the result that he built
a box over his rhubarb plants, COW
cred 1t up warmly and found the
stalks grew quite long. Now, as every
body knows, winter growing of rhu-
barb is an industry.-Detroit News.

Advertising men know great deal
about color psychology. Purple and
royal blue lend an air of aristocracy
to printed matter. That is why you
often find expensive automobiles or
high-priced securities presented to
prospective buyers in elaborate cir
culars printed in these colors and in
gold, which is also arlstocratic. Red,
the advertising men say, is a selling
color. 1t has a tendency to excite
the acquisltive instinct in men and
women. Candies in red boxes sell
best. Expensive perfumes sell mar

tainers. A very red dress on a beau

New Era Began With
Power Over Darkness

Among the most notable finds at an
Client Ur Of the Chaldees in MesopO-
tamia under the joint auspices of the
British museum and the University Of
Pennsylvania are oil lamps of beau
tiful design dating TO nearly 1000
years before Christ, revealing a clvili-
cation older than that of Europe.
''Thus, however far back we are
permitted TO peep into the dim past"
the leader, Mr.. Patterson, said. when
man, with the same nature and feel
ings as We, lived and loved, worked
and died, we find him facing the same
problems as we do today, In seeking
to regulate the light Of day which en-
tered his buildings, and to supplement
it at night as effectively as his knowl-
edge would permit.
But from 1000 years before Christ
to 1900 A. D., close to 5000 years,
that knowledge took him no further
than the use of a wick dipped in oil,
or later of the candle made from nat
ural oil and fats. But with the begin
ming of the last century new era be-
gan, an era in which dawned the pos
sibility of unlimited light during the

Great crowds assembled at Inner
leithen, Peebleshire, Scotland, on a
recent Saturday to witness the annual
ceremony of "the cleikum," referred
to in Sir Walter SCOTS "St. Romans

the legendary story of combat with
the devil engaged in by st. Roman.
Interleithen's patron saint, who died
in 1877. The patron saint was repre-
sented by the head boy Of the public
school, who was duly installed anil

tanic majesty was duly destroyed by
