Flies Forced to Work

Flies, commonly thought of as
useless and evil, have been put to a
profitable employment by ingenious
plant breeders at the experiment
station of the University of Cali
fornia. How these insects were
drafted was told Thursday night by
DR.. H. A. Jones in the course of his
address as president of the Ameri-
can Society for Horticultural Science.
Under field. conditions, onion
flowers usually are pollenated by
a species of fly that feeds, as larva,
on spoiled meat. DR.. Jones and his
associates decided to make this fly
do their work for them under labo-
ratory conditions. They made great
fly-tight cages of cloth, in which
they grew onions they wanted to
cross pollenate.
They obtained large numbers of
the fly larvae, simply by setting
meat wastes where the flies could
lay their eggs. When the larvae
passed over into the pupal, or pre-
adult resting stage, they placed
suitable numbers of the pupae in
each of the cages with the blossom
ing onion plants.
The adult flies, emerging, went
from flower to flower in search of
nectar, and incidentally did a
thoroughgoing job of pollen-carry-
ing, which resulted in far more
seeds than could have been obtained
by many hours Of laborious hand
pollenation.

Ancient Race Discovered

Search for the ancient inhabi-

DR.. George Grant MacCurdy of
Yale, director of the American
School of Prehistoric Research. told
the American Anthropological AS
ISOLATION today.
Skeletal remains revealing the
new branch on mans family tree

group of caves at the foot of Mt.
Carmel, Palestine, by an expedition

British School of Archaeology.
The caves have given a rich yield

Instinct Fails; Bees Die

Bees may be creatures of instinct,
but that instinct is not the in
Grant protection against harm that
used to be imagined by old-style
naturaliSts. How the bees of sew
eral large apiaries in California
drank death Of a poison flower was
tod today by C. H. Vansell and
w. G. Watkins of the United States
department of agriculture, at the
meeting of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Science.
The bees of group of hives that
were moved into a promising loca-
ton in the Sierras suddenly began
to die in large numbers, some with
in the hives, others before they
could get through the entrance. In
vestigation showed that they were
visiting the flowers of the false
hellebore veratrum cailfornicum.
In the cup-like leaf sheaths about
its stems just below the flowers,
were found not only dead bees, but
other dead insects. The evidence
pointed strongly against the flower,
and the entomologists today urged
their colleagues who specialize in
the study of poisonous plants in
look further into the matter.
After several days of alarmingly
high mortality rate among the bee
hives, the deaths became less nu-
merous. The sudden poisoning of
a harmless plant, the wild buck
wheat, which is rich in nectar, is
believed to have turned the atten-
ton of the bees from the deadly
seduction of the false hellebore.

Serum Value Is Dubious

What medical science now knows
about infantile paralysis was told
by DR.. William H. Park, director
OF laboratories, New York CITY
health department, at the meeting
today OF the American Association
Tor the Advancement of Science.
In the majority Of those infected
with the causative virus of the dis
ease, the central nervous system is
not invaded, or, If it is, the injuries
do not progress sufficiently to lead
to paralysis.
Value of convalescent serum for
treatment is rather dubious, it APP
pears from studies which DR.. Park
reviewed. In the epidemic of 1891,
investigators in Boston and New
York found that the cases which did
not receive serum treatment got
along slightly better than those re-
ceiying it.
The increased amount of infantile
paralysis seems TO be due to the
fact that more and more people are
passing from one place to another,
and so the opportunity is increased
Of fully virulent virus being spread
TO localities where the disease has
not occurred before, and where there
is more or less virgin soil for the
virus to infect.

ToothaChe Goes Far Back

Mans prehistoric ancestor, Mean
derthal Man of $4,000 years ago
must have had toothache, too. Evil
dences of dental decay and impact
ed teeth dating that far back were
described by DR.. Bernhard Wolf
Weinberger, dentist of New York
City, at the meeting today of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science.
The earliest dentist used some of
the same materials, such as gold
and silver, and some of the same
type of instruments now used in
modern dentistry. Ancient dentists
of the New World apparently were
more progressive than those of the
Old World, however. Pre-Inca In
dams sought for means CT preserv-
ing the individual tooth when it was
diseased or decayed, while Old
World dentists seem only to have
been interested in supplying miss
ing teeth.

SCIENTISTS DIFFER
ABOUT COSMIC RAYS
Disagreement Explained by
MiIIikan and Compton.

By Science Sefrice
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec
30.-Two of Americas leading ply
sicists, both Nobelists, discussed
facts and theories about cosmic rays
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science here
this morning.
About most of the experimental
facts, they agreed. About the de-
auctions from thousands of expert
ments performed by scores of in
vestigators ranging the world, they
largely disagreed.
DR.. Robert A. Millikan of Cali
fornia Institute of Technology, up
held strongly as a fact his con-
clusion that the cosmic rays that
enter the earth's atmosphere and
photons, like X-rays. and gamma
radiation of the same family as
light and heat.
DR.. A. H. Compton of the Uni
versity of Chicago found mo way
Of reconciling the data with the
hypothesis that any considerable
portion of the cosmic rays consists
of photonS."
He concludes that cosmic rays
comes from outer space as high
speed electrified particles, either
negatively charged electrons. or
positively charged protons.

He arrived at findings that
promise to have profound influence
on philosophy and even religion, as
well as science.
Can Run" Forever
Old-fashioned, classical science
viewed the universe as running
down in energy like a clock, even
tually dying a "heat-death," when
all heat and energy arrives at a
dead level.
Professor Tolman's greatly SIM
plifled genealogical models hold the
hope that the universe can forever
and ever experience a succession of
irreversible expansions and con-
fractions.
This fits in with the astronomical
observations that we live in a
rapidly expanding universe in which
the great stellar galaxies are rush
ing away from us at speeds of
thousands of miles a second.
Professor Tolman's tentative idea
of the universe explains how it is
possible that it is expanding now,
that it previously contracted, that
it will contract in TIE future, and
that this cycle will continue unend-
ingly.
Beginning Not Necessary
A creation or beginning of the
universe is necessary under our
ordinary, everyday, classical ideas.
Professor Tolman's marrying of
thermodynamics with relatively may
have removed the necessity of
thinking of the universe as having
a beginning.
In the cautious position" to
which he is taken by his mathe-
MATES and physics, I'VE no longer
dogmatically assert that the prin-
ciples of thermodynamics neces-
sarily require a universe created at
a finite time in the past"

the highest possible peak to pre-
serve, or create, consumer buying
power.
Frank A. Vanderlip is the one
Wall Street financier who has
publicly spoken kindly word for
Technocracy.
He says that Technocracy is
making an important contribution
to the understanding of our
paradox of unemployment and
want in the midst of plenty.
He agrees that industry, through
its rising debt load, has been
mortgaging the future.
But Vanderlip, along with other
leaders, declares that our present
system has learned its lesson and
will find its way out.
They do not believe that we are
ready to bow to the robot.

industry began to fall off, while
production continued to increase.
Van Deventer, however, along
with officials of the National In
dustrial Conference board, can
show that up to and into the de-
preston year of 1890, the machine
actually opened more employment
doors than it closed.
Forty years ago." said the edi-
tor of Iron Age" when the cleo

We may see an era of more mod

If our peak production of 1929
were to be resumed today, they

Van Deventer, ardent anti
Technocrat, has found figures to
prove that much less machinery is

ID OGER BABSON, statistician

that Technocracy is "a crime
against the American standard of
living"
I'VE need to work more, not
less" he declared. For today we
are producing only the same
