Sea Provides Soup for Fish
By THOMAS R. HENRY

the basis Of the sea life
pyramid. Ocean fishes, rep
tiles and mammals must have
their vitamins, which they
get by eating the PROTOCOL
and bacteria which have
gotten. the essential sub
stances from the water. The
primary source is unknown.
There is evidence that at
least some Of the substances
are secreted by microscopic
algae.
Nature has imposed on
birds a marvelously intricate
system of birth control.
1t is interviewer precisely
with various recurrent phe-
nomena Of the seasons to
assure survival Of the species
and presumably is the result
of millions Of years of evolu-
ton. BY and large the re-
productive capacity of birds
increases up to 150-fold in
the temperate zone with
frightening of the hours of
daylight, which insures that
the parents will have plenty
Of time to forage for their
nestlingS.
In the tropics where the
length Of the days is about
the same but where there are
definite wet and dry seasons
the cycle seems tied to these.
The egg-laying rate increases
steadily with the increasing
amount Of rainfall. The rule
seems to hold, with slight
variations, for all bird species
known, according to a report
to the National Academy of
Sciences by DR.. Alden H.
Miller of the University of
California.
Equatorial Sparrow Studied
But, DR.. Miller says, there
are parts of the tropics where
days do not lengthen and
where there are no clearly
marked wet and dry seasons.
His report is based on studies
of the equatorial sparrow, a
close relative of the common
sparrows of the eastern
United States, in the equa-
torial mountains of Column
bia. Here, at an altitude of
more than 5000 feet Just
west Of the city of Cali,
a camp was set up for a
year to study the reproduce
tive cycles of these birds.
Their specimens were cap
tured in the wild and main
tanned in captivity.
Still, without the known
stimuli in other parts of the
world, the species-preserving
cycles soon became APP
parent, seemingly tied in
with quite minute natural
variations. Here there were
two a year, compared to the
well known annual cycle in
the north with its egg-laying
peak in the Spring. Et,
Apparently, DR.. Miller re-
ports, the cycle is innate in
the birds-perhaps due to
some natural conditions in
the distant past. But it. be-
came so deeply fixed that
there is no escape from it.
1T is uncoerced," says
the report, by small varia-
tons in photoperiod Qength
of day. and is only incom-
pletely controlled by the
seasonal occurrence of rain
fall. This does, however,
have some effect in the late
parts of each Of the two
wetter periods of the year."

ing up late at night to grade
papers and evaluate and re-
cord the grades. Record-keep-
ing alone adds many hours to
every teachers work week,
not to mention the countless

Recently you published a
letter Of mine in which I OBJ
jected to the fragrant pres
sure tactics used by Mary
land teachers in attempting
to extort higher salaries from
the State treasury. Fortu-
nately, the Maryland Legis-
lature and Gov. Tawes,
calmly rejecting their unfair
demands, passed and signed
into law a limited salary
raise which benefited those
entitled to 1.-THE teachers
with long years of service.
The teachers annual dipping
into the public funds, al
though not entirely elimi-
mated, at least was mini
mized.
I received the usual num-
Der Of phone calls and letters
which I have learned to ex-
pect whenever an opinion of
mine is published. The criti-
cal calls and letters were
anonymous. They were, Of
course. from teachers who
were extremely unhappy that
their rush on the State treas
ury had been repulsed. For
these persons I have one bit
OF advice. and it is free: If
you don't like teaching, If
for any reason you are dis
satisfied with your profess
sion, quit and find some other
type of employment. Mary
land will have no difficulty

he told me that he wanted
to direct his remarks to the
menace of cancer. In the
speech which he delivered
in the Senate during the de-
bate in May, 1856. he pointed
out that more than 5 mil
lion veterans would be
stricken by cancer unless
medical research developed
new and more effective ther-
apieS.
From that time on, Dick
Neuberger devoted his tall
ented pen to many an arti-
Gle portraying this mercilcss
disease which kills $50, 900
Americans every year and
costs us $l2 billion annually
in lost productivity.
In a magazine article in
February, 1857, Mr.. Neuberg-
er wrote that cancer is a
threat which hangs over us
all from the bassinet to the
tomb; yet we spend far less
attempting to solve it than
we do, for example, on the
fittings for one aircraft car
rier of the Forrestal class"
In May of 1857, Senator
Neuberger testified before
the Senate Appropriations
Committee on behalf of a
$500 million long-range APP
preparation to the National
Cancer Institute.
If our people can spend
Sis billion on liquor and to-
bacco, if our Government
can spend $44 billion on
ornaments, if we can envi-
sion a disbursement of $33
billion for roads. then we GER
tainly can contemplate the
long-range investment of at
least one-half of 81 billion in
the invaluable research stud
les sponsored by the Ma
tional Cancer Institute" he
told his colleagues.
Under the dedicated lead
ership of Senator Lister Hill
of Alabama, the research
monies available to the Ma
tional Cancer Institute have
been increased appreciably in
recent years. In fact, in every
year of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration the Congress has
rejected administration rec
concentrations and increased
cancer appropriations far

Cats and dogs often watch
television. sometimes a mouse,
and now a couple Of squirrels
pay of in hickory nuts
At least that is what a
correspondent says. From
Arlington. Va, comes this
paragraph:
"At one time I was con-
fined to my bed for some
time in my second-f1oor room
in Northwest Washington.
THE neighboring squirrels
came into my window and
onto my bed every day to
visit me, and incidentally to
watch TV.
ION one occasion an ex-
ceptionally poor show was
on; Of course I could not get
up to turn it of.
1.-TWO of the squirrels
watched it for a while in their
customary silence; turned,
and went out of the window.
I'm a few minutes they
returned. and each solemnly
deposited a couple of hickory
nuts in front of the TV."

Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote one of his most appeal
ing child poems about lying
in bed.
The land of counterpane,
as he called it, draws out the
imaginations of young per-
sons, particularly.
Imagination is a strange
quality of the human mind
and heart. 1t seems to be
best in children. They are
not tied down with facts, as
adults are. or at least think
they are.
The imagination, in young
people, scars, and out of a
rug rolled on the floor may
come a flying machine, or q
lion, or maybe a deep woods,
according to the mood of
the moment.
Sick children may see more

wallpaper patterns, than in
the wrinkles. in the comfort

If the illness is not too
great, but the time necessary
to overcome it large, the
child may find life rather
boresome.
That is where books come

Parts of the seas are like
bowls Of soup.
Mixed with the water are
various vitamins and other
organic materials which pro-
mote life. They may consti-
tute the major difference be-
tween sea deserts and sea
gardens, according to a report
to the National Academy of
Sciences by DR.. William L.
BelSer of the Scripps Insti-
tuition Of Oceanography.
There are, he points out,
great differences in the album
dance of micro-organisms-
plant and animal--in differ
ent areas of the ocean. Wa
tiers off the California Coast,
for example, produce consid-
erably less than those of the
English Channel. Yet the
California waters contain 10
times more fertilizer-"phos-
pilates" in farm language.
Sea life must need something
more than rich soil"
Tests with a variety Of
Heterogeneous in labora-
tory preparations of salt wa
ter enriched with different in
organic materials, he reports,
showed this thesis to be well
founded. Some would not re-
produce, or even survive, re-
gardlesS of the enrichment.
This was overcome, however,
when vitamins or other or
ganic materials in extremely
minute amounts were added
to the medium.
Very Thin "SOup"
The soup" is very thin
indeed-so much SO that it
cannot be analysed precisely
by known chemical tech
niques. DR.. Belser, however,
by means of radiation with
ultraviolet light of colonies of
millions of micro-organisms
developed mutant strains
which required specific sub
stances to live. If they sur
vived in a sea water medium
1t was considered certain
evidence that the water con-
tanned these substances. Thus
the fertility of water from
different parts of the world
and different seasons was
aSsayed.
The results of this bio
assay indicate, he reports,
that sea water does indeed
contain micronutrients. He
tested for 10 probably essen
tial substances. Most fire.
quently detected was the pow
erful growth vitamin, biotin;
uracil, the chemical basis for
the nicotine in tobacco: and
the nitrogen material isoleu-
cine, closely allied to the
vitamins. OF her essential
vitamin-like materials have
been found in some samples.
1T is expected" he re-
ports, that extended appli-
cation Of the bio-assay tech
nique will elucidate unex-
planned discontinuities in the
distribution Of marine or
ganisms and may be of value
in the Identification of water
masses"
Need for vitamins and their
abundance in various areas,
he explains, may go far to
explain some of the enormous
proliferations of ocean life
at times-such as the So
called red tide" when miles
OF sea surface appear red
due to the abundance of one
plant micro-organism.
The study was confined to
nearly invisibly minute
organisms. But these are

James v. Williams
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-03-10

The object of this suit is to
procure a divorc- a vinculo
matrimonii from the defendant,
Garth Alan Murray.
The Bill of Complaint alleges
that the plaintiff is a resident
of Montgomery County, Mary
land, and that the defendant is
a NONRESIDENT of the State of
Maryland, residing in Bath,
New York.
The Bill also alleges that al
though the conduct of the
plaintiff toward the defendant
has always been that of an
affectionate and devoted wife,
yet, nevertheless, the said de-
PENDANT without just cause or
excuse abandoned and deserted
the plaintiff on or about Sep
TENDER 25, 1857, and that such
abandonment has continued IN
interruptedly for at least eight
cen months, and is deliberate
and final, and the separation of
the parties is beyond any rea-
sonable expectation of recon-
Citation; that no child was born
of the marriage; and that plain
tiff desires restoration of her
maiden name, namely, Jane
Florence Robens.
1t is thereupon, this 25th day
of February, 1860, by the Cir
cult Court for Montgomery
County, Maryland, sitting as a
Court of Equity,
ORDERED that the plaintiff,
by causing a copy of this Order
of Publication. to be inserted in
some newspaper printed and
published in said Montgomery
County, Maryland, once a week
in each of four az successive
weeks, before the 18th day of
March, 1860, give notice to the
said absent nonresident defend
ant of the object and substance
of this Bill and warn him to
file his initial pleading on or
before the 29th day of April,
1860, showing cause, if any he
has, why Decree ought not to
be passed as prayed; or in the
alternative, by personal service
on said nonresident defendant
on or before one ID month
prior to the said 29th day of
April, 1860.
