jr.. Of the National Museum.
He presented this as an alternative
to the assumption that the Aleutians
ever were an actual pathway from
Asia to North America because Of the
large stretches Of open water which
it would have been necessary for the
emigrants to have crossed. Typical
objects Of Southern ALASKAN culture,
he said, are found today in Kam-
chatka and 1t Is dificult to see how
the connection could have been made
except over the far-nung Aleutian
chain at q relatively late period.
Three Adams and One Eve.
There were three Adams and only
one Eve in the Hawaiian Eden.
Such, at least, is one of the inter-
pretations placed on Hawaii's song of
creation. or beginning in the night, f"
described before the society by DR..
Matha Beckwith of vassar College.
This Pacific genesis, she said, pur-
ports to relate the history Of the world
in the great darkness before the hu-
man race appeared on earth. The

this time grew the sea moss and the
little plants on the land. The water

Light and Woman Appear.
From the simplest forms of life in
this hrst epoch the chant goes on to
enumerate distinct species Of animal
and plant life born into the dark, from
fishes, reptiles and creeping plant
forms to the trees and the pig. rat
and dog-the highest mammals known
on the islands before the coming of
the whites. In the eighth epoch light
breaks on the darkness with the ap-

HELD NEW RACE
AnthropoIo gicaI Society
Hears Ice Retreated Before
Migration to Continent.

The peopling of America was q
rather late event in pre-history.
It may have come about only when
Northern Europe and Asia was in
vaded by the Germanic tribes, forcing
. mass migration of the earlier in
habitants across Siberia and into
Alaska.
Such were conclusions presented by
DR.. Herbert j. Spinden of the Brook
lyn Museum in his presidential ad-
dress before the American Anthropo-
logical Society last night.
It Is impossible, DR.. Spinden con-
tended, to attribute any very great
antiquity to the American Indian
when he Is considered in the light Of
world chronology. First, the original
migrants were evidently race Of sub
Arctic hunters who came over a route
close to the Arctic circle and who had
. well-develsped new Stone Age cul-
ture. The peopling Of Northern Eu-
rope and Asia would have been i'm
possible until the retreat Of the last
glaciation and until forests had grown
up on the denuded land. The chief
stage Of new Stone Age culture in
Europe, he pointed out, came almost
at the heights Of glacial periods and
when the ice began to retreat the
path of expansion was eastward rather
than northward.
Northward Trend Dated.
Only toward the middle af the new
Stone Age period in Europe, DR.. Spin
den said, is the evidence Of q modest
trend northward with the recent dis
covery Of Summer camp of reindeer
hunters near Hamburg. From then
on there was a progressive invasion
of the sub-Arctic areas and settle
ments Of colonies Of fishermen around
the rim Of the Baltic, then . fresh
water sea with its rim well above the
Atlantic. The Scandinavian penin-
sula still was covered with ice.
In these old Baltic, fishing settle
ments. dating from 1900 to 5400 BIC,
are found, DR.. Spinden said, what may
be the ancestral types Of American
Indian technology. There were
canoes. postulated by the finding OF
paddles. There were also harpoons,
fish hooks. bone daggers. amber jew
elry, long-toothed combs. crude stone
axes and stone knives fitted into horn
sockets
But. he pointed out, 1t was neces-
sary for this culture to spread much
farther tothe northward before 1t
found an open road across Siberia.
Only about $500 BIC, he said, does it
spread from Scandinavia across Fin
land and Russia and into Siberia.
Traced to Siberia.
Perhaps the most complete set Of
objects illustrating the ancestral cul-
ture of the American Indians, DR..
Spinden said. has been found recently

ATLANTIC CITY, December 2s.--
A robot weather man, soaring above
the clouds on the lookout for impend-
ing storms and temperature changes
was described before meteorologists
attending the annual convention OF
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science here today.
This device, which makes a contin-
uous and automatic record OF altitude,
pressure, temperature, humidity and
cloudiness, has been constructed for
the United States Weather Bureau by
Drs. Harry Diamond. w. S. Hinman
and F. w. Dunmore Of the Bureau
Of Standards.
One OF its chief constituents Is q
bundle OF human hair which measures
humidity with extreme accuracy by
its contractions and expansions.
May End Use Of Plane.
The little instrument, the inventors
reported. Is expected eventually to do
away entirely with the use Of airplanes
in weather forecasting, thus taking
from the shoulders Of aviation dan
gerouS and irksome job.
The entire equipment. including a
miniature radio transmitting set and
batteries, weighs less than pounds.
It Is sent aloft on q 5-foot balloon
Not only does it make continuous
records of changes in the upper at
mosphere, but it is actually operated
by these changes. For example, air
pressure decreases at known rate
with altitude. This principle is util-
lied to move a small switch arm over
a series of electrical contacts. The
contacts are so spaced that for q de-
crease in air pressure equal to few
hundred feet in altitude the arm will
move from one contact to the next
With each contact the radio trans
mitter sends to earth a predetermined
signal which is automatically re-
corded. The signal varies with each
contact so that the exact altitude of
the instrument at any instant Is
known.
Radio Note Sent.
Between these pressure contacts Is
another series Of contacts which are
wired to an electrical resistance ele-
ment controlled by bundle of human
hair This varies indensity, and
hence in electrical resistance, with
humidity. The switch arm. moved by
air pressure across these contacts,
connects this variable resistor with
the tpansmitter circuit so that with
each contact there is sent to earth q
radio note proportionate to the amount
Of moisture in the atmosphere.
When the switch arm passes over
insulating strips lying between the
contacts a note is sent out, the fire..
quency of which is determined by the
resistance to an electric current Of q
small glass tube filled with sulphuric
acid This resistance changes at q
constant rate with temperature.

Cows Smarter Than Horses.

Cows Smarter Than Horses.
Cows are smarter than horses.
Calm. plegmatic bossy munching her
clover could tell the aristocrat Of the
race track a lot If she could talk
and would be considerably the aptest
pupil in a bsrnyard school. according
to an experiment reported by DR.. L.
Pearl Gardner of Cornell University.
She taught cows and horses to open
the hinged tops of feed boxes which
contained food. Then she gave an
animal the choice of opening one Of
two such boxes, one containing food
and covered with black cloth, and
the other bare and empty. The in
telligence test consisted of the num-
Der Of trials required before the sub
ject would always open the covered
box first all the time.
Cows learned much quicker and the
best mixers learned better than the
poor mixers. Aristocratic, nervous
polo ponies. on the other hand. were
no better than farm draft horses.
The old family doctors familiar
"stick out your tongue" had a dag
nostic value which the up-to-date
physician doesn't appreciate, it was
stressed in a paper by DR.. Bernard
L. Comroe Of the University Of Penn
sylvania.
About q dozen diseases, including
many cases of syphilis, scarlet fever,
dianetes, allergy, hyperthyroidism.
congestive heart failure, jaundice and
chorea, often can be diagnosed from
the appearance Of the tongue alone
If the doctor knows what to look for,
he said. On the other hand, the
coated tongue doesn't necessarily
mean anything at all. 1t is quite
frequent in smokers and in old peo-
pie without indicating an upset
stomach.

running into Lake Baikal in Siberia
There archaeologists have uncovered
polished stone chisels and knives. har-
poon points. needles, bone avis and
spoons. groved arrow polishers OF
sandstone and both plain and basket
marked pottery. There were several
skeletons whose bones were stained
with ochre. . common burial practice
Of the red men. In other graves
there were daggers and saws OF bone
edged with stone, small sculptures In
the form Of fish, and little copper.
From this point, he says, the way
was open to America. A water road
along the Lena River leads half way
to East Cape, Siberia, which may have
q jumping OF place for the scattered
bands that crossed into the New
World.
Physical evidence, DR.. Spinden said,
shows that the American Indian Is
more closely allied with Siberian and
Northeastern Asiatic stock, but there
is also some evidence of an infusion
Of the white races. A possible expla-
nation Of the colonization of the
Americas, he said, is that of mass
migration Of heterogeneous cultural
elements brought about by the in
vasion OF Northern Europe by the Ger
manic peoples which displaced east

latitudes, finally spilling them into

Secs Survival Of Animals.
Recent findings OF human artifacts
IN America, associated with bones OF
supposedly Ice-Age animals, DR.. Spin
den said, has given new impetus to
the urge to give the red man a great
antiquity. A probable explanation, he
insisted, is that some of the more i'm
portant Ice-Age animals survived the
retreat of the ice and have only been
dying of in the last few thousand
years. There are still forms surviving
in America, he pointed out, which
have disappeared in other parts Of the
world, So the fact that ancient Amer
leans hunted extinct forms Of bison
and the mammoth may be evidence of
the lateness Of the animals rather
than Of the earliness Of the men.

Being dead drunk may save the drink
er from death because another drink
might strike the breathing center in
the medulla Of the brain, just above
the spinal cord. and respiration would
stop. Sometimes this happens anyway
and the man dies.
Personality Traits.
Some Of the fundamental person
ality traits which distinguish an in
dividual can be detected and meas
ured in the first IL months Of baby 3
existence. according to . report Of ex-
periments made to psychologists of the
association by DR.. Arnold Gesell. di-
rector of the child development clinic
Of Yale University.
A frequent claim of psychologists
during the past decade has been that
personality Is largely the result of
training and environment during the
first months Of life and can be nodded
by parents and nurses. DR.. Gesell's
findings from intensive study Of five
infants indicate that there are Unborn
characteristics which make their ap-
pearance from the first and persist
with little change despite what hap
pens in the outside world.
DR.. Gesell made his tests Of Is
measurable traits.
DIR. Compton Speaks.
How much power would be required
to lift fly inches in year?
Just about as much As the energy
Of a transatlantic radio signal caught
by q receiving station In Newfound-
land, was the answer Of DR.. Karl r.
Compton, president Of Massachusetts,
Institute Of Technology, in his presi-
Dental address to the association.
The possibility of amplifying this
almost infinitely feeble force so that
1t can be heard clearly and without
distortion was cited by DR.. Compton
as one of the wonders made possible
by the discovery so years ago Of the
tiniest thing in the universe, the
electron.
In the intervening years. DR.. Comp
ton said, a discovery which was sup
posed to be useless has opened the
doors to a new world of unimaginable
wonders, and . business Of close to
$3.50 .000, 900 . year, with the end still
far from being within sight.
An even more striking instance of
the amplification powers Of electron
tubes was cited. Said DR.. Compton:
What Is the largest number that
has any physical significance? One
common answer Is one followed by ITO
ciphers. This is about the number Of
electrons, the smallest things known.
which would be required to fill up the
universe to the greatest distances dis
covered by astronomy. If they could
be imagined as closely packed side by
side to fill up this whole space.
Energy Of Voice.
"Yet this number is very small in
deed compared with the aggregate fac
tor by which the energy of voice
striking telephone transmitter in San
Francisco is amplified by electronic
tubes in the process of q long dis
tance telephone conversation to Lon
don. This amplification is about one
followed by 256 ciphers. If the uni
verse were multiplied in size by the
number of times it is larger than an
electron, it could still not hold as many
electrons as the number Of this tele-
phone amplification factor"
