BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, December 30.-Approx-
nnately 500 cases of "quadruped pro-
erosion" in human infants were re-
ported to the American Association for
here today, by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the
United States National Museum.
In thNe cases a child, usually start
ing between the seventh and eleventh
months, walks and runs on the palms
Of the hands and soles of the feet, with
a sort of looping gait similar to that of
a dog, the behavior being decidedly diff
fent from the creeping" common to the
human infant.
Starting about three years ago with
four cases he personally observed, DR..
Hrdlicka has been receiving case re-
ports ever since, and today appealed
for more instances seen by parents or
nurses. Most Of the cases are reported
from the United States, but some letters
have been received from Germany, Aus
tria and England.
Superior to Fellows in Strength.
These children who seem to revert to
the progression of young animals, DR..
Hrdlicka said, usually are superior to
their fellows in strength of arms and
legs and in endurance, soon begin to
walk like others, and are thoroughly
normal. But even after they have
started to walk on two legs they drop
back to all fours when they are in a
hurry.
In this DR.. Hrdlicka has found an
explanation Of strange dreams often re-
ported by adults, in which, finding
themselves in desperate situation,
they ran on all fours to escape. Those
70 haliaUaC
either were ''quadruped children" or
had structural tendencies in this direc-
ton which never became overt.
He also has received significant re-
ports of babies who sleep hunched up
on their knees and elbows with the face
down, apparently about as uncomfort-
able sleeping position as could be
found, but presumably the most COM
Portable of all for these particular
children. The same sleeping posture is
noted in some animals.
Sometimes, he reported, the very
young children go so rapidly on all fours
that parents say they must run" to
catch them. Some will start walking,
not creeping, on the hands and knees,
progress from this to both hands and
one foot, and then, as they got stronger,
to both feet and both hands. He has
received several reports of running on
all tours backward ike q crap, ana OF
little "Siddling" motions Of quadruped
walkers such as are particularly notice
able in kittens and puppies learning TO
walk.
Approximately six boys to four girls
walk on all fours, and IS per cent Of
them either are first or second chill
dren. There is some evidence that the
trait runs in families.
Tuberculosis Student Reports.
Isolation from the fatty substances
Of human tubercle bacill % a highly
complex acid which is "the specific
cellular stimulant which causes the
formation of tubercular tissue" was re-
ported today by DR.. R. j. Anderson of
Yale University working on a project
sponsored by the National Tuberculosis
Association.
He also reported notable progress in

DR.. Marvin Welcomes Delegates.
DIR. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
George Washington University, well
! coined the delegates to Washington at
dinner in the hotel last night.
He urged the members of the asso-
citation to think of their activity in
terms OF its wider significance, "of the
priceless heritage that is the scholar S
who understands proportion and place
in the field which he is privileged to
serve"
DR.. Marvin traced the development
of the Indignation of knowledge through
various periods of history from the
early days when culture was restricted
by national boundaries to the present
era Of international interchange of
ideas.
Referring to language differences, he
said: There are as many languages as
there are individual speakers. Each one
has his own selection of words, uses
some Of them in special meanings or
with individual limitations of mean
ing, has his own intonations or Pc

Medical School. He was able to observe
the tiny nerve sprouts as they grew,
extended their processes and formed a
network of flbers in the transparent tail
fms of frog tadpoles. Individual sprouts,
he said, have been watched for as long
as so days.
The strange phenomenon by which
the weight Of metal changes when
subjected to enormous preSsures but
RECEIVERS almost completely when the
strain is removed was described by Peter
I. Void and Earle M. Bigsbee of Union
College. The losses in weight in one
experiment amounted to one part in
10000, but even this minute change
was greater than could be accounted
for by errors in weighing or by changes
in the amount of gases. The apparent
demonstration that weight and mass do
not remain constant may have impor-
tant bearings on the classical theory
of gravitatiOn.

THEATER STORMED,
At STUDENTS HELD
Annual Class Smoker of New
York City College Ends
in Rioting.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 30.-After a
march up Broadway 200 sophomore
students of City College stormed the
Rivon Theater at Forty-ninth street
early today and At of them landed in
jail.
Climaxing the annual class smoker,
the collegians thronged into the lobby
of the Rivoli and rushed the doormen.
Into the auditorium they swarmed, bat
Ting among themselves and patrons for
seats and throwing the audience into
turmoil. Chemical bombs and ammonia
were hurled.
Answering riot call, police blockaded
the doorwayS and ordered the lights
turned on. While most of the students
fed at the first sign of Intervention,
enough were captured to fill two patrol
wagons backed up to the main entrance.
Meanwhile reports spread that a
duplication Of the Paramount Theater
robbery had occurred, and great crowd
gathered in front of the theater. This
was augmented by the departures OF
affronted patrons.
The prisoners were charged with dis
orderly conduct, and rather than rouse
their parents at such an unseemly hour
to raise bail they remained in custody.
