Dictated by -r a a

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,

Chief, Biolocical Survey,
Dept. Af';riculture ,

Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. l^^erriam:-

I have p^cne over the list of cases to be considered
by the A. 0. U. Gommtttee and find that they are mainly ornith-
ological, including comparatively few questions of nomenclature
pure and simple. Of the 90 listed 'changes' only 20 are questions
of nomenclature. I will undertake to consider these, and be pre-
pared to state each case.

I see the present list contains 30 'changes' and 90
'additions' or 120 cases in all. We have in addition 62 deferred
cases, as printed in ^7he Auk' for July of last year, exclusive
of the 44 questions relating to genera and subgenera. These 32
deferred cases are nearly all ornithological and should also be
looked up, so that we may dLspose of tnem if possible at our next

meeting

I cannot, of course, undertake to consider questions

that involve the handling of material; ny time is quite too lim-

ited for that.

^^en' truly yours, ^

Washington, D,

Dear Dr. Merriam:-

I aia exceedingly oblired to you for the loan of the
skull of Ur^us. dall_i_, which caiae to hand yesterday, and also for
the skull and skin of the Patafidniaji Puma. I v:ill return then

all early next week.

Ky interest in UrsUj. dalli is due to the fact of Mr.
Stone having brought a peculiar skull of a ::ear from Porta.-e Bay,
Alaska Peninsula, which I thought, judging from your paper on 'he
Bears, rai.-rht have some relationship with n. d_ani.. It turns out,
however, to be entirely different and in no way comparable with it.
It seems to me a very distinct new type, which I am describing as
Ursus merriami. The skull in general contour greatly resembles
the skull of an adult female Polar Bear, but the dentition is that
of the Kadiak^ielr. It is a long, narrow skull with low forehead
and very slightly expanded zygomatic arches.

Again thanking you for your kindness.

Verj' truly yours,

THE AUK.

DEPARTMENT OF
MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY

Dear Dr. Merriara:-

On returning yesterdaj^ from a week's outing

I found your letter of September 11, and the Check-List proofs
awaiting me. Professor Cooke has given the proofs very careful
attention, ar.d I am very glad of his corrections and suggestions
aside from the ranges.

I am sending you today fifteen more galleys of Check-List
proof. I see the printer has set it solid; I suppose to save
storage space in his office. I am sending these galley-proofs
without looking at them myselY, so that they contain a,ll the mis-
takes I made in marking the copy and the printer's errors. Later
on I will send j^cu duplicate page-proofs for the use of the Bio-
logical Survey.

In regard to the word monotyplA, I must say I do not like it
and adopted it merely for uniformity in grammatical construction
with tantonymy.

In regard to the date following the volume in the references,
it is in accordance vdth my uniform custom, hut I have nothing to
do With this arrangement of the dates in the Check-List; I sirap?.y
took Richmond's copy as he sent it. For ny part I do not like the
new method of placing at the end of the reference, notwithstanding
librarians and some hitlicgraphers.

L'iST'.a ■<■

Iff,. .! .'.

I an very rmioh Interested in what you say regarding your study
of the Bears. I can well understand the great convenience of com-
paring photographs when large specimens are concerned. I have re-
cently had a little experience with the Bears of Labrador, having
had a series of thirty skulls for study. They are not carked for
sex and I have heen unable to satisfactorily distinguish in all
cases males from females; there is such a complete intergradation
in size and character of the teeth. In this series the rar^e is
enormous, hut the Intergradation is by insensible stages so that I
have found it impossible to recognize more than one species. Further-
more, the Labrador Black Bear (^rnbor^eri) I an unable to differen-
tiate from the Black Bear of eastern Forth America, and I think I'r.
Bangs has readied the conclusion that it is not a very good siibspecies
I will now close this letter as two very cJiarming ladies are
awaiting me in my inner office; namely, Mrs. C. Hart L'erriam and
her daughter Zenaida. They arrived last night and we are delighted
to have them here for a couple of days; probably ;tcu will see them
about the time j/ou receive this letter.

Sincerely yours.

Taxidermy, as follows:

lZo6 Griiiiily Bear, d. Hew York Zoological
Society, received .^pril 1£, 1904.

Probably you could get further information
from the records of the ilew York Zoological Society by
writing to Dr. Hornaday. The date will doubtless give them
a clue to the record of the specimen on their books.

Very truly yours.

can appreciate how puzzling thid large material Y;hich
you handle must he and congrfitulate you on being so nerr

having kept them so long, as I have had no particular

Dear Doctor Merriam:

Your kind latter of April 5, informing me of my election
to the American Society of Mammalogists as its first Honorary
Member, was duly received and the honor thus conferred is, I
assure you, greatly appreciated. I am deeply interested in the
welfare of this Society and greatly regret that illness prevented
my being present at it'' first meeting. I believe that this new
organization, Itng overdue, will prove as helpful to the progress
of Mammalogy, and make as brilliant a record as the American
Ornithologists' Union has in the history of Ornithology.

Assuring you of my deep appreciation of this new honor,
and of your very kind words in making it known to me.

Very sincerely yours,

FLORENTINO AMEGHINO

303

FLOEENTINO AMEGHINO.

By Dr. W. D. MATTHEW

AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

IN the death of this distinguished paleontologist science has sus-
tained a heavy loss. Our knowledge of the splendid succession of
fossil mammalian life in the Argentine is due principally to the work of
Ameghino. A collector and explorer whose energy and enthusiasm no
handicap of opposition and poverty could overcome, a student of im-
mense learning and keen insight, a writer and controversialist of ex-
traordinary facility and dialectic skill, a broad thinker and daring spec-
ulator, above all a man of high ideals and great patriotism, his life and
achievements are well worthy of admiration and respect.

Ameghino seems to have interested himself in fossils from boyhood.
In 1880, while still, it would seem, in the early twenties, he had already
spent ten years of his life in collecting fossil mammals in the Pampean
formation in the vicinity of Buenos Aires, and especially in searching
for evidences of man contemporaneous with these extinct animals. His
conclusions as to the antiquity of man had received notice in the local
journals as early as 1875, but had failed to secure the endorsement of
the heads of the two great Argentine museums.' Failing this endorse-
ment at home, he sought to secure it abroad, and in 1878 exhibited at
the Paris Exposition a great collection of archeologic and paleontologic
remains. (The fossils were purchased by the late E. D. Cope and later
came into possession of the American Museum of Natural History in
New York.) Fortified by the support received abroad, Ameghino pub-
lished in 1880-81 a two-volume brochure entitled "La Antiguedad del
Hombre en La Plata," in which his views were set forth in full, to-
gether with a history of the controversy.

In succeeding years his time was given more and more to researches
in the older formations underlying the Pampean, and to the collection
and study of the wonderful mammalian faunae which they contained.
To explore these formations, lying mostly far to the southward, 500 to
800 miles from Buenos Aires, involved long expeditions on the part of
Ameghino's younger brother Carlos, the elder brother remaining at
home to earn the necessary funds for his own and his brother's support
through a small stationer's shop which he kept in La Plata. Year after
year these expeditions continued, and their results were published by
Florentino in a flood of descriptive and controversial papers, amazing

in volume, learning and acrimony. In 1889 he published a revision of
tlie fossil mammals of Argentina in two large quarto volumes abundantly
illustrated. During thirty years of work Ameghino described over 500
new genera, with probably some thousands of species of fossil mammals.
These papers made known to science a whole new world of animal
life. The Tertiary mammals of South America were as different from
those of tlie rest of the world as is the modern Australian fauna, and
for most of our knowledge of them we are indebted to Ameghino. Be-
sides the Santa Cruz with its wonderful riches of fossil mammals, he
described a series of older faunas no less interesting. Tliat so mucli
should be accomplished by one man is remarka])le enough. It is far
more remarkable that he should achieve so much in spite of straitened
means, and bitter official opposition, which he had, it must be admitted,
brought upon liimself hy his vehement, combative and controversial

spirit. Some of his work, indeed, appears hasty and ill-considered, and
its value seriously marred by a partisan and contentious maintenance of
theoretic conclusions which most paleontologists have found it impos-
sible to accept. Amegbino regarded the age of the later formations of
Argentina as much greater than his confreres in Europe and North
America could admit, and maintained views in regard to the phylogeny
and derivation of the Tertiary fauna;, which, however slalfully de-
fended are not likely to find acceptance. But these peculiarities of
theory and temperament should not blind us to the immense value and
interest of his discoveries, nor to the vast learning and indefatigable
industry with which they were brought before the scientific world. Nor
should they prevent due meed of admiration to his enthusiasm and
energy and sincere love of science. It is pleasant to record that even m
his earlier years he had won his way to the high respect and honor of
his fellow citizens and to an admittedly high standing abroad. He oc-
cupied for a time the chair of zoology and comparative anatomy in the
University of Cordoba, and in 1886 was appointed secretary and sub-
director of the La Plata ]\Iuseum, but resigned this post two years later
owing to differences with the director, Seiior F. P. Moreno, and for ten
or twelve years afterwards seems to have held no important official posi-
tions In 1903 when the directorship of the Museo Nacional of Buenos
Aires became vacant, Senor Ameghino was appointed to this honorable

tivity while his researches bore fruit in a series of publications, now

carried on. There is something peculiarly affecting and inspiring in
the picture of this great paleontologist, maintaining through all these
years of straitened circumstance a record of splendid achievement, in a
field which beyond most others is supposed to require ample means in
order to accomplish much that is worth while. For the most conserva-
tive of paleontologists will accord to him a record of accomplished work
equalled by few of his confreres in amount and importance.

Time will show how much of Ameghino's contribution to paleonto-
logic theory will stand. But, right or wrong, his challenging of many
accepted views has compelled a reconsideration and more careful sifting
of the evidence upon which they are based, which can not but be bene-

ficial, whatever conclusions it leads to. In this field he stood forth as
the chief exponent of doctrines maintained against strong and wide-
spread opposition, forced into recognition and partial acceptance by the
sheer vigor and energy with which he defended them, and the learning
and skill with which he marshalled a tremendous array of evidence in
their support. I, who disbelieve these views and have taken some share
in combating them, can well afford to honor the ability and industry
with which they were defended. Heterodoxy is of the life of scientific
doctrine, the surest indication of its vigor and progressiveness. Only
in decadence will our theories degenerate into a "body of geologic
dogma,'' admitted to universal belief with universal indifference.

NEW YORK,

Dear Sir:-

The income of the American Anthropological
Association, notwithstanding its gradually increasing membership
and the growing interest in its aims and objects, is not yet
sufficient to meet its expenses. Vou will, I am sure, agree with
me that either to decrease the size of the ••American Anthropologist"
when the demand for space therein is constantly increasing, or to
cheapen its mechanical make-up, would be most undesirable,
especially as cur journal is now universally regarded as amongst
the leading scientific magazines published.

For these reasons it seems desirable that our members
and others interested in the advancement of Anthropology should be
asked to aid in enabling the Association to continue the publication
of our journal without the danger of a serious deficit at the close
of the year.

It is the desire of the Treasurer to interest the
members to obtain subscriptions to the publication fund of, say
from $10 to $50 a year, for two or three years, from those whom
they feel can be approached in the matter.

Will you not be so good as to make a special effort
in this direction, having in mind some person or persons whom you
can apprise of the Association's needs!

Very truly yours,

whether . ou filled in a reprint order v/hen you read proof on
it? If not, I hardly think there is any way of getting reprints
for you, now. However, no reprints of anything appearing in No.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

In Mr. Gifford^s absence I am answering
your letter to hin of March 6th.

I do not recall whether an order for reprints of your
letter on Henshaw was given to our printer. Do you remember
whether 'ou filled in a reprint order v/hen you read proof on
it? If not, I hardly think there is any way of getting reprints
for you, now. However, no reprints of anything appearing in No.
1 have been sent out yet. I duined oui^ printer about this, yester<
day, and ir obably reprints will be distributed very snortly. I
shall write him, now, as to whether you were sent any reprints.

Yours truly.

IMir^iJc.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Your letter of March 10 arrived several days
ago but the manuscript was only delivered yesterday.
Hence my delay in acknowledgement. I am getting into
touch with our engraving company to get an estimate
of the cost of reproduction of the map in color and
shall let you know at once.

The copy for #2 of the American Anthropologist
is all ready to go to the printer but I am holding it
to prepare your paper. I understand that you are
willing to pay for the article. Under normal con-
ditions I would not think of asking for more than the
cost of the plate and map but the financial status of
the Association is such that I should like to avail
myself of your generous offer to pay for the entire
article.

Very truly yours.

There is no question T^hatever aboiit yonr beinj' able

the District of Columbia and Maryland is purelj^ local, rnd hardly
dif^nified to either party. Y^e presumed that yov are acouainted v;ith
the situation there and for that reason do not refer to it, but beyond

that the

is clear end plain.

It will be necessary to Dlace yo^^r name on the li^t

yoii Virginia, Kew York-Chica^^o-Fississippi ^ivor, but hp.ve no separate
maps for th^ Central ^^^o^'^tfs^ff$:^,

Of coarse you have one more map due

yon.

so

as we do

not have a map of California and know from experience that every
transcontinental tourist needs more than one Transcontinental map,
we are making up your ruote of five hv- sending' another Transcontinental
map in rddltion to the one you have. Are quite sure that you will find
use for this before you reach California.

We do not publish the Blue Books, but carry them in
stock for the con^^enience of our members and frienc^s. The enclosed
circular lists the 191/5 editions, and we wonia be jrlad to fill your

Mr. C.Hart Merriam,

Vifashington.D.C.

Dear Sir:

I well remember the exchange of letters with you last
year and the rather unfortunate time you had in crossing Utah and Nevada;
much the same conditions were encountered hy the Indiana-Pacif ic xour,
as you may kno\7.

We have just published the book of the Overland Trail-
Chica,p:o to San Francisco —this also has the option from Omaha through
Lincoln to Denver.

\7hile it is true that considerable road work v^ill
imdoiibtedly be in process through the section where you had soimich
trouble, nearly everyone seems to be planning trips to ohe fa^iti^
Coast that way. There is no question, however, t]iat from this time^
on a great deal ox additional travel will go between Albu-iuer-^ue am
Southern California by the way of what is now coraine^to be called the
Santa Pe-Grand Canyon-IIeedles route, although directions for this
new highway have not yet been ccrapiled.

■,7e are to bring out in a few days an^ntirely new
rmr> of Transcontinental routes, about bOfo larger than the 1913 edition,
and on this we have charted the Santa Pe-Grand Canyon-i^eedles rlignway
by the assistance of parties along the line, which will probablyhelp
you very much. Of course, however, like the Trail to Sunset, tnis is
a rather v/arm route in mid-sum.;Er.

•Je are still of the oninion that you would bo
disappointed on the direct route through St. Louis to Kansas City
although vjxthin the past year sections of the Old 11^*?;°^^/:°^^.^^°^
HaperstaTn to Cumberland have been much improved,— ^^e,,^^°®^5^?;"J-i- „^t
btiSg as to how much repair work will be in process on the Old national
sSd west of V/heeling. V.'e are somewhat of the opinion ohat tne ^■^7
vou went last year would be bettor to use again. As a membor, you
'would bo entitled to order the new Transcontinental map at half^prioe-
or 25 cents. Go-oies can be sent about as soon as we could hoar a.rom

you again.

Yours very truly,

Dear 3ir:-

In the more than 10 years that I have been engaged
in this work, 5 l/2 years with the Blue Book, and the balance
at this office, it has been my plan to make one trip of fair
length each year, necessarily in the eastern territory, on
account of the short absences I can arrange. These trips are

or less distant time the writing of a new history of it from
the standpoint of the modern traveler.

During our slack season, I am giving considerable
time to v/orking up the preliminaries of that subject. Un-
fortunately, I am unfamiliar with the fauna and flora of
this section and asked a friend of mine in Gumberland to
furnish me some notes to make up my own lack in that respect.
AS a reBult, I expect to incorporate into the work a few
references substantially as furnished by my correspondent.

You may be interested to know that among the
references he gives for one who cares to pursue the matter
further^ i$ your book dealing with the fauna and floife-of
Alleghany Go. Llaryl^md. At any rate, as the name appears
to be identical, I presume it is your book; but would be
interested to know, i'urthermore, if you would like, I
will put your name down for a copy of the publication when
issued.

Unfortunately|\7hen I went to the little country
school, several miles from a town in northern New York, our
subjects were restricted to "reading, writing and arithmetic",
and the sciences were unknown even to our teacher, to say
nothing about us little greenhorn scholars. So it is that
in taking a subject of this kind, I am obliged in some

respects to seek such help as furnished by my corresiDondent
in Cumberland.

Yours very truly,

A. A. A. TOURING BURKAU.

Dear Dr.Merriam:-

The two books which you were kind enough to send
arrived this morning; and I thank you most heartily for same, only
wishing that I had the technical knowledge to thoroughly understand
them* As it is, I am adding them with interest to my reference
files*

Presume that this morning you received the first issue
of the Journal of the Automobile Club of America containing my
articles; and I trust that you will look it over with interest* If
you would care to see proof of that part of the tnird article, in
which I have incorporated some observations by Mr*Bdward Harris, Sr. ,
of Cumberland, I would have a carbon copy made to submit for your
inspection, of course all I could give now woild be a few references
to the subject.

Very soon I shall be obliged to pass all of the
articles, and will be entirely busy for several months with the
work of this department* If, however, you have any suggestions
to make on any of the articles, I would be glad indeed to file
same for incorporation in the larger and more permanent work to
be issued I hope before another year*

Yours very truly,

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,

My dear Doctor;

Your membership in the A. A. A.
District of Columbia Club indicates your be-
lief in the need of a local organization to
interest itself in matters affecting the owners
of motor cars in the Capital district.

An advisory committee is needed
to conduct the affairs of the local club, and
the Honorable Hartin linapp has accepted the
presidency of it.

At the suggestion of our Ivational
president, Llr. John A. "'ilson, I am asking that
you serve as a member of this local advisory
committee, assuring you that it is only occasion-
ally that we shall ask you to meet with the
others in deciding any question which might arise
in reference to local motoring conditions.

Trusting that you will be able to
devote a little of your time to this purpose,
on occasion, I beg to remain,

Very truly yours,

Dtar Sir:

Being one of that ever-increasing army of citizens who find health
and recreation in driving their motor cars over good roads, doubtless
you have visited every place of inter'3St In this vicinity which can be
reached over a good highT/ay. And now you are seeking new fields.

Would you give $2 for a ne?/ touring place easily accessible from
Washington? Of course you would. Then here Is your opportunity.

The towns ar.d cities along tho route of the Richmond-Washington
highway are each endeavoring to raise a designated sum for a general
fund to be applied to -^he building of a road through the Chcpawamsio
ewamp--Gix miles of abominable country that robs Washingtonians of a
fine touring place , and annuallv keeps thousands of motor tourists out
of the National Capital. W-^shingtonlans are asked to contribute
$4,870 to this fund.

This is not intended as an appeal to your civic pride. We ask
/ou to make an investment of $2, which will be a direct return in fur-
nishing another artery for vour pleasure — opening a fine highway to Aah-
ville, N.C., with Richmond, 135 miles distant, as a center of interest,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL FROM HERE TO RICHMOND OVER A GOOD
DIRECT HIGHWAY, FILL OUT THE ENCLOSED BLANK AND SEND IT TO US WITH YOUR
CHECK FOR $2.

Just as surely as you make this contribution, this highway will
b^ compl-':ed and an unequalled touring ground will be opened to you.
And besid^^^s having a nnw touring place, vou will have the added satis-
faction of knowing that YOU helped build this road.

Everyone wil"' want to use this

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Will you please let us know whether the United States
Geographic Board has taken any action in regaid to a change in the
name of St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia? If so. what is the

k»W*'-*^*^'-* -.

decision?

If not, we should greatly appreciate the favor if you will

tell when the Board will probably take action in the matter. The
decision is of great importance to us because we must print some
new maps of Europe veiy soon. If you would let us know your own
view as to what should be done, or as to what probably will be done,
we should very greatly appreciate that favor also.

There is a divergence of usage in the American newspapers.
The New York Sun continues to use the name St. Petersburg, while
others which I happen to see use the name Petrograd* The views of
individuals, as well as of newspapers, will of course differ, but I
suppose that the decision of the United States Geographic Board will
ultimately be followed in this country.

Thanking you for the courtesy of your attention to the

above requests, we are

Dear Dr. Merriaun!

AS a resident of Tashin^ton you now have the opportunity not only
to protect your own interest in the Federal City in which you live but
to render to the whole nation a very real and patriotic service in
assisting to bring about a better understanding by the people of the
United States of the needs of the Federal City and the dangers by which

it is threatened.

Washington is facing a public ^ouilding program of unprecedented
volurr.e to meet the needs of Go^rnment. Already the process of tearing
down obsolete buildings to make way for modern commercial structures is
well along* The development of new areas for homes which has proceeded
actively for over a year will continue for some time to come. The pai
and playground system is sure to be extended, Sc'-:ool3 will be builta

All this is inevitablea

The catastrophe of a radical departure from the Washington-
L' Enfant plan as interpreted and extended by the group of eminent
Americans who worked with Senator McMillan's famous committee twenty
years ago can only be averted, I believe, as we manage to interest
leading Arrericans all over the United States to understand the Plan
and to take action to protect their Federal City. The work done by
Daniel K. Burnham, Charles F. McKlm, Au.^stus '^aint-Caudens and
Frederick Law Olmsted, and steadily supported by Ch.arles Moore, the
Chairiran of the commission of Fine Arts, can continue to be effective
only as we unite our efforts to bring about the complete realization

of the Plan.

In order that you may be informed concerning the situation, we
invite you and Mrs. Merriam to join us in an inspection trip about
the District of Columbia, and in a dinner conference on the Washington
Plan. For the inspection trip the cars will leave I Street at
Farra^-'ut Snuare at half past two, Saturday, April Slst, returning
by six P.M. The dinner will occur the same evening at half past
seven at the National Club A.A.U.W., 1634 I Street, Northwest.

Please advise the Washington office on the enclosed cards ot your
participation. It is expected to have present with us a number of
distinguished Americans definitely interested in the Federal City.

Cordially yours.

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,
1919 - 16th Street,

Dear Doctor Kerriaia:

Before ITr. Pinchot left for Europe, he

aid he felt sure yoxx would he glad to help us by

contrihuting an article to "Aiierican Conservation",
the new illustrated monthl^^ magazine of this As-
sociation. I ai-. sending you a copy of the Ilarch
number today. I cannot help but feel that I ajn
somewhat presumptuous in asking you for an article,
and I an: led to do so only through Lj:. Pinchot 's
suggestion and by the interest I know you have in
Conservation.

I would not think of going so far as to
suggest a subject for you, and will only say that

voted to' essays and theoretical material.

Generally, v/hat v/e are trjring to do is to
cover the broad field of Conservation in an inter-
esting and an authoritative manner. It is for this
reason that I shall be all the more interested in
anything tliat yoii can give us out of your fund of
experience and observation,

it entirely convenient to give us an article? We

Dear Doctor Merriam:

Sorry you can*t give us an
article, but I understand how your time
is taken up.

The report to which you contri-
buted was that of the National Conservation
CommisBion, which Congress refused to print
for distribution. However, the demand was
so great that the Government Printing Office
has made a reprint which the Superintendent
of Documents is selling at |l.95 for the
three volumes. I am sorry I have only one
for our files here or I should take pleasure
in sending you one. I was thinking you, of
course, knew about this material.

Sincerely yours,

Literary
Form

To answer frequent inquiries, the following j"^^^^"°\^?"?„5^I^_^^*"
drafted for those preparing articles for the Dictionary of American

Biography:

The article should be, as to content and literary form, a fresh
and original writing, and should contain nothing infringing any
existing copyright. It should give precise and accurate informa-
tion, based on original sources, in as condensed a form as is
consistent with clearness and completeness. At the same time every
effort should be made to present the information in a way to attract
and interest readers.

Selection
of Facts

Arrangement
of Facts

Bibliography

What Every

Article

Should

Contain

The selection and arrangement of facts should be made with the
utmost care. So far as space and material permit, the writer
should not only state but also appraise the circumstances and
influences which shaped the career of the subject of the article.
such as ancestry, parentage, childhood experiences, educational
advantages, physical and social environment.

The salient facts should be so arranged as to place achievements in
their proper perspective. So far as possible, the temperament,
character, and physical appearance of the subject of the article
should be portrayed, and his personality should be made to stand
out against the background of his times.

A concluding paragraph (to be printed in small type) should con-
tain a list of the sources of information and of such previous
biographies as are of importance. Keierences in support of any
particular statement in the article may be included between
brackets in the text; but general references snould be collected
in the concluding paragraph.

It is expected that the initials of the writer will be appended
to each article , and that the writer will amend and add to his
article as may be necessary to make it conform to the plan and
purpose of the Dictionary. The manuscript should be typewritten.

1. The exact dates of birth and death (day of month and year).

2. The names of father, mother, wife or husband.
3' Schools, colleges, universities attended.

4'. A critical appraisal of the subject and his achievements.
5! A bibliography of sources of information.

Dear Dr. Merrism:

As you probehly know, The American Forestry Association
was not conceived nor is it operated for fin^^ncisl gain.
The very nature of the work is such tliat there is always
opportunity to expend all of its income upon useful work,
the quantity and qiiality of which mast ever he subject
to that income.

Every Life and Patron Memher adds strength and stability
to the Association and makes us a more powerful organiza-
tion. During fhe past year alone more than one hundred
and forty new Life Members have been added. It would be
very gratifying to n-omber you amon^ this constantly gro^idng
list of permanent members. One Hundred Dollars for Life
Membership includes the ma.gazine and no further dues, elimi-
nating for you the trouble of yearly renewals.

Will you consider the transfer of your membership to the
Life Class and bring to us this added evidence of your
hearty support of our woik.

Very sincerely yours,

President.

l!}\c As50Cuition is not operated for profit. All money received is used to promote the

cnnr.mrction Lind recreation of our forests.

Dear Dr. Kerr i am: -

In your letter of TBrch 8, you certainly
gave me a merciless initiation. I appreciate your criticisms, never-
theless, because I know they are prompted by your interest in the mag-
azine, and your desire to help forward the work of the Association.
As an editor, I freely admit unbounded inexperience; therefore crit-
icisms are good for ray soul.

Without appearin^rr, I hope, to apologize
for the magazine's shortcomings, I do think you hr':^ve rather magnified
some of its defects, ALEHIGAN FOHSSOEY, as you must appreciate, is not
a scientific journal, in a : rofession^il sense. Its purpose is to en-
list the interest of the lay reader in the cause of forest conserva-
tion, and surely some editorial liberty should be allowed, provided it
is hamless.

It has been the policy of the magazine, in
the past, to give credit on its photographs ^vhere credit was requested,
a policy followed by many magazines. V/e are now going further than
that, not because we consider the policy dishonest but because it i? a
pleasure to give credit, v/here credit is clear. There are always bound
to be slips, havever, as in the case of Dr. Bailey's photo^p^aph in the
last issue. It ir> unfair to assune that because credit does not a-orear
on a photograph, cr^-dit has been intentionally denied. .'e not unconmon-
ly receive photographs which cannot be credited, for lack of information,
or for which there is a request that credit be not given.

As to the tv7o pictures of the Pinon, I caniiot
say that your assumption is ri^ht or v/rong. I have spent a pood many
years in the Pinon country, and I have been baffled on the ground by the
striking variations in the appearance of the tree. I therefore accept 42^
the author's word in the case in question.

Please do not hesitate to write me, v/l.en you

have criticisms to offer.

Bear Dr» Merriam:-

Replying to yoxir letter of January 21, we use the
tera '*Hedwood" rather indiscriminately in our naagezine because it
is the term commonly understood by the average layman* I admit its
incorrectness from a strictly scientific standpoint, but I think you
apree with me that the average person refers to both Sequoia Sempervirens
and Sequoia Gigantea as Redwoods. In the case in point 1 used the word
•^giant ' in a descriptive sense in the sa^e way as I applied it to
"Utah's giant fir" page 109 in the :ebruary issuer

Aa to the photograph on page 36 of the January issue,
this, according to our information was t-^lcen on the property of the
l^ndocino Lumber Company. I am not sure, but I think all their holdings
are in Kenaocino uoimty. I can find out specifically, I think, as to
the exact locality where it was taken, if you desire to have me do so.
I happen to be writing !.!r. !!ason today and will ask him for the information.

I am most sorry about the topographical error in the
T^ioas Habemaria< Like most topographical slips it is hard to understand
afterwards Just how it slipped through, but it did.

Thank you for your good wishes.

Yours

omb.

erely.

Dear Doctor lierriamt

Your letter of November
29 is reoeived.

I fully agree with you
that it is confusing in many cases and par-
ticularly in the example you cited to omit
the scientific name of many botanical species.
In the present case my only plea is my igno-
rance of the fact that the term myrtle seems
to be applied to the bulk of our Pacific coast
Tegetation.

Please accept my thanlts
for your interest and suggestions.

Very sincerely.

Dear Sir:

I am very glad to get your letter of the 23rd this morn-

ing, as I feared my letter to you had in some way gone astray.
I am enclosing with this a little preliminary prospectus of the
National Sportsmen's Association, which was incorporated September
25th, and which will explain something of its objects and aims. A
little later we shall print a more elaborate booklet of the Asso-
ciation.

Mr. George Bird Grinnell suggested to me that you should
be one of the Honorary Members of the Association. Of course, I
have known of you for a great many years by reputation, though I
have not personally had the pleasure of meeting you. You will see
that we have as Honorary Members such men as Theodore Roosevelt,
Secretary of War Stimson and Chief Forester Graves. We shall ap-
preciate it very much if you will permit us to use your name as an
Honorary ^Member and I can assure you that no obligation, pecuniary
or other^vise, is involved beyond your good will to the purposes of
the Association as stated in the prospectus.

Hoping to hear from you favorably and also hoping to see
ter on after your return to Washington, I am,

Yours very truly.

Dear Sir:-

I think I can remove your objections to one of the
objects of this Assooistion as stated in your letter of
January 29th^ in part, at least, when I state that this
Association is heartily in favor of the propagation of
game both for shooting and for eominercial purposes • As
a member of the committee which has just completed the
v/ork of codifying the game laws of New York, I would say
that the committee has made the law more liberal than
heretofore in this respect.

Tho Asf50ciation, hov/ever, does not stand for market
shooting and is opposed to the sale of wild game as a
general proposition.

I have been familiar for years with your splendid
attainments as a naturalist, and I am particularly desir-
ous to have your name on our list of honorary members.
Trusting that you will see fit to accept, and awaiting

your reply, I am

Yery truly yours.

President .

My dear Dr. Merriman:-

I am just aware of the fact that Dr.
V/illiarn T. Hcrnaday has communicated v;ith the
various members of the Honorary and Advisory
Board of this Aesooiation, including yourself,
relative to his fight in the State of Iowa fur
closed seasons on quail and pinnated grouse,
which would have "been perfectly proper had he
not linked this apparently with the innuendo
that this Association, through its active of-
ficers, had taken action of which you would nut
approve .

Please understand that this Associa-
tion knew absolutely nothing abuut Homaday's
campaign in Iov;8 and has taken no actiun to
thwart his efforts for securing closed seasune
in that state, unless a general article in the
last number of our bulletin, which has absolute-
ly no reference to tlie Iowa situation, can be
considered in that light.

The article in question is called
"Closed Seasons Versus Scientific Game Pre-
serving". The opening sentences give an idea
of t?ie basis of the article.

Mr. <iuarles, the autliur, says:

"It is to be regretted from the stand-
point of effective wild life conservation that
in many sections of the cuuntry closed seasons
for long periods are being urged on ruffed
grouse and quail withuut due regard to local
cunditions. The motives of those voicing this
demand are excellent, but they err in regarding
this as a panacea for the existing scarcity of
these birds." " " " llo man worthy of tlie name of
'sportsman* opposes closed seasons on any species
if he can be shown that such seasuns will accom-
plish results".

Dear Sir:

For some ti.ne this Association has "been
advocating a game census and we "believe that It
is essential that some means "be devised wherel^y
the annual kill may "be proportioned according to
the "breeding stock. Various opinions have "been
expressed as to whether or not It would ever
prove practical, ancl I would greatly appreciate
It If you will write me a few lines, giving me
your views on this su"bject.

Personally, I "believe that It Is "both
unnecessary and Impossible to get e.ny Informa-

Dear Dr. Merriam:

I realize that yoar criticism of the
size of AMERICAN GAME is v^ell taken. I have often
considered changing it bat have del?.:yed doing it
in the hope that -i»e would soon he ahle to iasae it
88 a monthly and in regular magazine form.

Just what size do you consider most
appropriate for a publication of this kind? Most
of the outdoor magazines, including American Forests
and Forest Life, are nearly as large as our publica-

tion,

Yours very truly.

All Correspondence
regarding the excursion
should be addressed to
Professor W. M. DAVIS, Director,
c/o American Geographical Society,

Broadway at 156TH St., New York, U. S. A.

ROUTE OF THE EXCURSION

TPHE TRANSCONTINENTAL EXCURSION OF 1912. starting from New York in August
and returning in October, will be made in a special train, including sleeping cars, a
dining car, and an observation car.

The duration of the excursion will be six or seven weeks. The dates of beginning and
ending will be determined by later correspondence and by conference with intending partici-
pants, delegated by European geographical societies, who may be present at the International
Geographical Congress at Rome in October, 191 1.

The excursion will offer no hardship to persons in good health. The monotony of overland
travel by rail for forty or fifty days will be reduced by providing all possible comforts of
equipment, by frequent stops for short excursions on foot or otherwise, by occasional nights in
hotels, and by abundant discussion of geographical problems.

The extreme points included in the proposed route are Seattle (and if possible San
Francisco) on the Pacific coast, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in northern Arizona,
and Chattanooga in eastern Tennessee. The route now planned is as follows:

New York City ; highlands and gorge of the Hudson River ; Helderberg escarpment near
Albany ; Mohawk Valley ; drumlin district in western New York ; Niagara Falls; ButYalo.

Cleveland ; the lacustrine plain and abandoned shore lines of former pro-glacial lakes in
northern Ohio ; Toledo and its drowned valley harbor ; Detroit and its drowned river ; rolling
drift prairies of southern Michigan ; sand dunes and marshes around the southern end of Lake
Michigan.

The route, as indicated above, is subject to change. A definite statement of the route will
be made in the Spring of r,.., and a brief account of the chief features of geographical interest
will be prepared for the use of members of the excursion.

Various phases of geographical science will be represented by the Amer.can members of
the excursion, who will, as far as possible, act as guides for the European v.s.tors. The
features of the landscape will necessarily be the first objects of observation .n an excurs.on
across a continent ; but attention will be given to various other matters, among wh.ch the
following may be enumerated :

The location of cities ; relation of transponation lines to topographicaH^^^^
of water supply at New York, Ch-ago ^"d f . Lou. and of wa ^^^^p^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ ^.^^^

The meeting in New York at the close of the Excursion will occupy two days The foreign
T oL party will be invited to make brief and informal communicat.ons on objects

Provision will be made for the subsequent publication of the papers thus subm.tted.

^ BROADWAY AT 156TH STREET

NEW YORK

December 17, 1924.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Thanks very much for your letter of December 9th vfith
its valuable comments on bears and the other animals mentioned in the paper
Dr. Nelson sent you, written by Edison Marshall of Medford, Oregon. As
you Jnay have gathered, I have been carrying on a correspondence with him
about wolves.

You interest me especially in the last paragraph of
your letter, v/here you drav/ a distinction between the big vrolves of
Eurasia and those of North America. I am, of course, av^iare that similar
animals in different countries often differ markedly in their habits.
I am, for instance, willing to believe that the African leopard is much
more likely to attack human beings than his American cousin. I had been
thinking it at least equally probably, however, that the greater ferocity
of the Eurasian wolves was due to their distance from us and the fevmess
of the stories we have actually investigated. I talked last year, for
instance, with a Professor of Geology from Siberia (Tomsk) who was emphatic
about the everyday fact that wolves kill people in Russia. But that man
told me later that he had talked with a friend of his who was a special
student of Russian and Siberian wild animals and who was most skeptical
about the wolf stories.

But the point that I have been specially looking into
is not the question of whether one or tv/o or half a dozen wolves may or
actually do attack and kill people. Ivly keener interest is in the problem
of whether the Russian'S'/olf pack*" is as mythical as the American'' wolf pack."
I consider it pretty clear that whenever you see anything like six or
eifeht wolves together in North America, you are seeing a family, the father
and mother, or more likely just the mother with pups that seem fullgrown
at a distance but are real lyj^ess than a year old. As I understand it,
the essential idea behind thte^^^^ "wolf pack" is a gathering of several
adult wolves not of one litter for purposes of co-operation in hunting,
^^at caught my eye in your last paragraph was the distinction you draw
between Eurasian and American wolves, and I wondered whether you had any
evidence or any reason to believe that Eurasian wolves really do co-operate
in packs as the story books would have it. I would appreciate very much a
brief letter on this point. If you have some evidence which you consider
probably correct but which you have not c^ctually investigated, I hope you
will give me the exact reference so that I can follow the matter up. I am
trying to make a really exhaustive study of the evidence as to'wolf packsV

to do constructive, progressive religious teaching, and many scientists who are
seeking to do honest and careful work in the classroom and the laboratory, are
finding obstructions placed in the way of progress by earnest people who have
little appreciation of science, and whose religion savors rather of an inherited
system of dogma than a progressing, enlarging. Christian experience and life.
This situation can be remedied through a more widespread knowledge of some of
the recent facts of science, now the possession of a few, and a more generous
appreciation of what constitutes religion.

Through this Institute we are trying to help matters by circulating
free or at cost of printing, many thousands of brief pamphlets containing in
simple form, scientific facts and designed to stimulate the power to see truth
as a unity in whieh the fears of those who tremble for what they call the
"fundamentals" have no place. Some of these pamphlets you have already seen.
We are enclosing the latest one written from the point of view of astronomy.

\

The enclosed slip will suggest to you the extent of tJjiajiEOga^nda
work which we are carrying on, our distribution going to ministers, educators,
s-^i^t^rsT studeaTVoliticians and laymen, not only in America but iriloreitn
lands. It will also inform you as to the sources from which this distribution
is financed.

Among the contributors to this phase of our work is an increasing
number of scientists, some of whom have become deeply interested in what we are
doing. Their gifts have ranged from five to twenty dollars each. We would
consider it a great privilege to add your name to this list. It is possible
that you may know of laymen with scientific interests who might al30_ aid us
in what we regard as the joint task of men of science and men of religion.

We crave your cooperation to the fullest extent. May we hear from
you at an early date in order that we may know whether we ma.-j count upon you
for either a contribution or a suggestion of names.

Cordially yours,

Chairman of the Executive Committee

I. Because it is guiding ten thousand
people annually in constructive, progressive,
and inspiring study of the Bible and of re-
ligion.

1. Because \t is furnishing systematic
reading in the religious field through well-
planned courses and traveling libraries used
by hundreds of ministers and laymen who
are remote from libraries containing mod-
ern religious books.

3. Because it is helping to spread abroad
constructive religious ideas through the j
circulation, free or at cost, of three hundred \
thousand "popular religion" pamphlets and '
leaflets annually.

4. Because the work of the Institute is
not affiliated with a single religious de-
nomination but ministers to all, whether
within or without the church.

5 . Because the work of the Institute is
international, reaching in 1913-14 Canada,
Mexico, South America, Hawaii, the Phil-
ippines, Japan, Korea, China, and Turkey.

6. Because the activities of the Institute
are wholly educational and like other edu-
cational organizations cannot he self-sustain-
ing. The budget for 1913-14 was covered
approximately as follows: one-third by in-
come from fees, one-third by appropriation
from the University funds, one-third by
gifts from one hundred and ninety-four
individuals and churches.

7. Because every sixty dollars which is
given for the phases of the Institute work
which do not support themselves is in-
creased to one hundred, by one man, who be-
lieves in its work.

"THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING"

Edwin B. Frost

The spectacle of the starry heavens is
the privilege of everyone who has eyes
with which to see. It is only necessary
to escape from the glare of artificial light
which modern civilization finds needful
for its streets and public places. In the
quiet of the country, or on the upper
deck of a steamer, or, best of all, from
the vantage of a mountain peak, we can
obtain without instruments and without
guidebook, if the night be clear and if
there be no moon, a view of the richness
of the stellar heavens which well repays
the slight effort required. If it is a
transparent night, the eye beholds the
stars of many degrees of brightness and
of varied shades of color, shining steadily
from above and twinkling near the
horizon, while some brilliant planet with
serene radiance may be a dominant
factor in the scene, or as Milton says:

.... now glowed the firmament
With living sapphires; Hesperus that led
The starry host rode brightest.

Athwart the arch of the heavens will
appear the soft outline of the Milky
Way,

Which nightly as a circling zone thou

seest
Powder'd with stars.

This scene is one of beauty not soon to be
forgotten. Such a view can hardly fail
to inspire in the observer a feeling of
wonder and of worshipful admiration of
this partial exhibit of the • external
universe.

If the watch of the glittering sky is
maintained for some time, or repeated
at a later hour, the stately motion of the
stars becomes apparent as our planet
turns beneath them. Such views, as we
have said, are the heritage of all who
will take them, and have been shared
alike by the untutored savages and by
those of cultured mind since human eyes
first began to look upward. The pleasure
is the greater for those who have often
watched the stars and have come to
know the constellations, so that each
hour of the night brings new but familiar
stellar friends into view. It cannot be
questioned that every increase of our
appreciation of the creation must en-

hance our respect for its Creator. It is
equally clear that the expansion of our
knowledge, due to deeper study with the
use of powerful instruments and a better
interpretation of the significance of what
we see, can only add reverence to our
respect. As was said by the philosopher
Kant, one of the first to formulate a theory
of the development of the solar system.

Two things there are that inspire wonder
and constantly increasing reverence the
oftpner and the more they are considered—
the starry heavens above me and the moral
law within me.

The marvelous photographs which are
now being obtained reveal a wealth of
celestial splendor that is almost ap-
palling. Interpretation is necessary to
understanding, and we shall try to give
an idea of the enormous span of the
material universe, of the immense num-
ber of luminous objects it contains, and
of the vast reaches of time which are
required for their development.

The brightness of the stars gives us
no certain indication of their distance.
This must be determined by the most
precise of measurements made with the
most powerful of instruments. The stars

differ in their glory because some are
enormous giants while others are dwarfs
like our sun. Some are white stars with
intensely brilliant surfaces, while others
are ruddy, with fading radiance. Some
are known to be non-luminous — rela-
tively if not absolutely dark.

Our ideas of size may be quite in-
correct. The sun and the moon, for
example, appear to be of the same size
in the sky, but the proper measure-
ments show that the sun has a diameter
400 times that of the moon. Because it
happens to be also 400 times as far away,
it presents the same angular diameter to
the eye. We, of course, recognize that
the sun is very much brighter than the
moon; we should hardly guess what the
measurements show, that it is more than
500,000 times as bright. Our interpreta-
tion of what we see must therefore always
be dependent upon most patient and
minute measurements extending over
long periods of time.

As our appreciation of the sizes and
distances in the universe has increased,
new units of length, mass, and time have
to be employed to express the vast
quantities in question. It was once the

6

custom, and still is in some parts of the
world, to state the distance between two
points on the earth by the time it would
require to walk that distance. Thus, a
Swiss native will tell you that it is two
hours to the next village. In astronomy
we have to adopt similar expedients for
giving the idea of the immense distances
involved. It is hardly possible for us to
grasp the significance of such a moderate
distance as that from the earth to the
sun, often taken as the unit of length in
measurements of the solar system. That
it is 93,000,000 miles means little, for
few of us can appreciate the quantity
known as 1,000,000. Let us try to
realize how enormous this system is by
the use of a modern illustration:

The speed of 100 miles an hour is not
uncommon for an airplane. Suppose,
then, that some tireless aviator in a
machine carrying an inexhaustible supply
of fuel could fly on without stop at this
rate. Hurrying on by day and night, he
would pass around the earth at the
Equator in 10 days, traversing 2,400
miles per day. If we now suppose that
his machine could fly across the vast
airless space beyond the earth's atmos-

phere at the same speed, he would reach
the moon, the earth's Httle brother, in
loo days, but to arrive at the sun, our
aviator would need also the gift of
perpetual youth, for at this constant
speed of loo miles per hour, io6 years
would be required to reach the sun.
The planet Saturn would be passed in
I, GOO years, and Neptune, which is at
the frontier of the solar system so far as
is known at present, would be attained
in 3,000 years of ceaseless flight. Leav-
ing the solar system, our imaginary
aviator would now begin his real passage
through the desert waste of space, and
it would take him 27,000,000 years to
reach our nearest stellar neighbor, the
system of Alpha Centauri. To cross
this stretch of void, the swift rays of
light require 4J years.

For stellar distances the unit known
as the light-year has been found to be
most convenient. It is the distance that
light would cover in a year traveling in
empty space at the uniform speed of
186,000 miles per second, or 11,000,000
miles per minute. This unit is 63,000
times the astronomical unit, or the
distance from the earth to the sun; the

8

light-year is, in fact, only a little short
of six million million miles. Only 500
seconds are required for light to pass from
the sun to the earth; it would take light
to reach us from Neptune slightly more
than 4 hours; from the nearest known
star, 4I years, as mentioned above; from
the average star visible in a small tele-
scope, about 800 years, or, in other
words, the distance would be 800 light-
years. Our whole conception of the
scale of the sidereal universe has in-
creased very greatly since the beginning
of the present century. Previous to that
it had been possible to measure with
accuracy the distance of hardly more
than a dozen stars; now we have fairly
reliable determinations of the distances
of several thousand.

Careful investigations have recently
been made which show that, counting
our own sun as one and at the center,
there are only 105 stars situated in an
imaginary sphere in space having a dia-
meter of 65 light-years. This illustrates
the enormous vacant spaces around each
star.

Although the stars may seem in-
numerable to one who is looking upon

them on a perfect night from a well-
chosen station, yet, as a matter of fact,
hardly more than 2,000 are thus visible
to one person at any one time. The
fainter stars are vastly more numerous
than those seen by the naked eye. In
fact, only one-twentieth of the starlight
which may guide the wayfarer at night
is due to the stars which he can see;
nineteen-twentieths of the illumination
is due to stars too faint to be seen as
such. Estimates of the total number of
stars must necessarily be very uncertain,
and allowance has to be made for those
which are beyond the reach of our present
telescopes, but the evidence is that they
are "^ not infinite in number. A recent
estimate has placed the number of
luminous stars at about fifteen hundred
million; several million have already
been catalogued on the photographic
charts of the heavens.

Let us now consider the dimensions
and qualities of a star, taking our sun as
an example, although it is smaller than
the average star. It contains over
300,000 times more matter or mass than
the earth, and its volume or bulk exceeds
that of the earth more than 1,000,000

10

times; in other words, over 1,000,000
planets like our earth could be put in-
side our sun. It emits heat as would a
perfectly radiating surface at a tempera-
ture of about 11,000° F., but in the in-
terior its temperature may reach several
hundred thousand degrees. The con-
tinuous radiation from a square yard
of the sun's surface expressed as power
is about 1,000,000 horse-power. This is
vastly more than could be produced if
the sun were of the best coal burning in
pure oxygen. In fact, the temperature
of the sun is so high that there could be
no burning or oxidization. The source
of the sun's heat and its steady main-
tenance are not yet fully understood.
If a gaseous ball like our sun contracts,
as it must under the enormous pressure
of its own gravitation, which is twenty-
seven fold that at the earth's surface,
then the present supply of heat resultant
from this continuous compression would
last perhaps for 50,000,000 years, but
the geological evidence indicates that
one thousand million years or more are
required for the development of our
earth to its present condition. This is
from twenty to fifty times the time avail-

II

able on the contraction theory. New
discoveries of radio-activity suggest new
sources of heat from the transformation
of the elements in the sun, which are
probably adequate for its maintenance
for as many billions of years as may be
required. The sun's material is chiefly
or wholly gaseous with an average
density not twice that of water; it con-
tains vast amounts of vapors of iron and
of metals familiar on the earth, together
with enormous amounts of permanent
incandescent gases like hydrogen and
helium. In fact, about one-half of the
elements found on the earth have
already been demonstrated by the spec-
troscope to be present in the sun; the
others are doubtless there, but are not
brought out under the conditions of the
sun's radiation.

We have thus tried to give an idea of
the immense scale of our sun and of its
characteristics; but we must remember
that it is less than an average star. It
has been found, however, that the mass
in the stars is not so much greater than
that of the sun, but the size and hence
the volume may be vastly greater.
Thus, recent measurements of the diame-

13

ters of a few of the stars have indicated
that such stars as Betelgeuse and
Antares have a bulk of from thirty to
forty million times that of the sun!
Other stars vastly exceed our sun in
brilliance; thus Rigel, one of the glories
of the constellation of Orion in the
winter sky, would be at least ten thou-
sand times as bright as our sun if we
could come as near to it as we are to the
sun.

The spectroscope, one of the magic
instruments of modern research, spreads
out the light of a star into a band of
color with red at one end of the band,
violet at the other, and myriad hues
between. There are gaps in the" band,
some very narrow and some broad,
which are called the lines of the spectrum
and which teach us many important
things about the physics and chemistry
of the stars. When photographs of
these stellar spectra are compared with
each other, it is found that tJpey may be
arranged in a long series merging from
one into the next, and representing
successive stages of the evolution of the
stars. These changes must occur in
general very slowly, requiring periods of

Z3

time far beyond any possibility of
record in the lifetime of a race, but we
may be as confident of the progress of
the stars' evolution as a child at an
early age is certain that human beings
pass through various stages of life from
youth to age; the child realizes that
these changes must occur although he
has not lived long enough to see them.
There are many points in stellar evolu-
tion which require for their explanation
much more than our present knowledge,
and, as a matter of fact, we are just now
decidedly unsettled in our views as to
the relation of the stars to the nebulae,
but all the evidence points toward an
orderly evolution of celestial bodies.

Much attention has been given in
recent years to the globular clusters of
stars. These are immense systems
roughly spherical in their shape, con-
taining vast numbers of brilliant suns.
They appear in the telescope so crowded
that they overlap each other and become
a hazy mass in the central portion. In
reality they must be billions of miles
apart, although clearly members of one
relatively compact system in which the
movements of each is under the gravita-

tional control of all. There may well be
a million stars in the great cluster in
Hercules, which is faintly visible to the
naked eye as a little patch of hazy light.
Fairly accordant estimates of the dis-
tance from us of these clusters made by
different methods place the nearer of
these remarkable objects at a distance of
some 20,000 light-years, and the more
remote at some 200,000 light-years. In
other words, if a star in one of the more
distant clusters should suddenly explode,
200,000 years would be required for the
rays of light to bring us the visible news
of that catastrophe. The fact that there
is no great difference in the conditions in
the nearer of these clusters as compared
to those most remote shows that their
development proceeds very slowly, re-
quiring periods of time almost beyond
our imagination. We can sweep over
vast periods of time as well as depths
of space.

There is another class of celestial
objects which are of the greatest interest
and which have been studied in the last
few years with success by photography.
These are the spiral and spheroidal
nebulae. Perhaps a million of them are

IS

within reach of our present photographic
telescopes. Estimates of their distance
are very difficult to make, and vary
greatly according to the method used,
but it cannot be doubted that some of
them may be a million light-years from
us. One of these is visible to the naked
eye as a fuzzy little spot in the con-
stellation of Andromeda. It may be one
of the nearest of the spiral nebulae.
The spectroscope demonstrates that it is
approaching us with a speed in the line
of sight of one one- thousandth that of
light-rays — that is, about i86 miles per
second. If this speed and direction have
been maintained for the past billion
years, then this spiral has come nearer
by a million light-years in that time.
It is agreed among astronomers that
there may be visible objects at a distance
of a million light-years. This, then, may
give us some little idea of the modern
findings as to the scale of God's universe.
Can anyone doubt that the recogni-
tion of the immense size and detail of the
celestial universe must give to all who
consider it a new and larger idea of the
Cause behind it ? There is no adequate
evidence known to the writer that the

i6

universe is automatic, that it has within
itself the power to make the laws which
govern it. Mere matter cannot be
imagined to be endowed with such
capacity. The universe is a cosmos, as
has been indicated in what we have
already said, and from evidence which
we shall cite farther on. It is not a
haphazard aggregation of fortuitous and
accidental bodies moving without sys-
tem or order. It is perfectly true that
we cannot comprehend in spite of all the
efforts of science the whence and the
whither or the why of all this. Nor is it
to be supposed that these problems will
ever be solved by the human mind.
Each generation of students may con-
tribute its little part, and sometimes the
questions are pushed a little farther back
toward the cause, but Omniscience would
doubtless be required tor understand the
works of Omnipotence.

The thought may occur to some that
in a universe on such a tremendous scale
there would be no place for small objects,
that the minute might be regarded as of
no importance. The answer is that the
laws of the universe apply equally to the
almost infinitesimal parts, the molecule,

17

and the atoms of which it is composed,
as they do to the gigantic bodies which
it includes. The marvelous experi-
mental researches in physics of recent
years have taught us that the atom is a
very complicated structure and that the
electrons move within the atom some-
what as do the planets around the sun,
and indeed with no greater crowding
than occurs in the case of the planets;
yet these inconceivably minute electrons
follow the laws of the universe quite as
truly as do the major structures. The
Omniscience which we predicate can take
within its ken the infmitesimal as well as
the infinite. Does not this give us a
more spiritual view of the Author of the
Universe? It is so evidently *'a house
not made with hands"; it transcends so
far anything that could be produced by
any infinitely magnified model of the
human form that we must recognize that
only a spiritual power can lie behind it.
It is not surprising that, in the dawn of
civilization, men, in their very limited
knowledge, imagined their Creator as
merely a superman, to whom they
attributed many of the faults of human
nature, whose domain embraced only

f8

that of their own tribe. Yet some of the
writers caught at times the idea of the
grandeur of the universe, as the psalmist
when he said:

When I consider thy heavens, the work
of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which
thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of
him ? and the son of man, that thou visitest
him?

Now, although the earth is so in-
significant and man and his works are so
small, even in relation to the earth, it is
interesting to consider what astronomy
teaches as to the unity of the universe.
Might we not expect that among the
millions of suns we should find a great
many kinds of matter representing
thousands of chemical elements? We
do not, however, find such variety, and
the testimony of the spectroscope is
sufficient. The atom of hydrogen is
shown to be the same throughout the
universe, and it is found in every self-
luminous celestial object yet observed.
Similarly, the atoms of the other elements
do not vary from star to star. With only
one or two exceptions, all the chemical
elements are found on earth that are

19

known to exist in any of the celestial
bodies. One exception is the gaseous
element nebulium, which is a permanent
constituent of one class of nebulae. It
is still possible that this will be found on
the earth, although there is no place for
it in the present series of elements of the
chemist. Perhaps it is not an element,
but a combination of elements, a mole-
cule. But aside from such exception, we
learn that our sun is like the most distant
star, and that our earth is chemically
quite the same as the sun, and finally
that our own bodies are composed of the
more common elements of the earth.
Thus, we may truly regard ourselves as
samples of the whole universe. This
may well give us the sense of a new
dignity as citizens of the cosmos. We
may even go so far as to think that the
combination of spirit in material body
such as we possess may not be of great
variety, and that we may be not vastly
dissimilar from beings which may in-
habit other planets circling around their
appointed suns. Science at present can-
not either affirm or deny the existence of
such planets; they are beyond the reach
of modern telescopes. The largest planet

20

of our own system, Jupiter, would be
wholly beyond detection with our tele-
scopes from the distance of the nearest
star. Our sun occupies no central or
pre-eminent position among the stars—
merely one of thousands of suns which
seem to have passed somewhat beyond
the middle point of their evolution.
There is no logical reason to suppose that
our sun is any better fitted to have plan-
ets about it than thousands of others, or
that the planet earth should be highly
exceptional. It is granted that mathe-
maticians find great difficulty in under-
standing how a system of planets can
develop around a star, but we know that
such a system exists in the case of our
sun, and it is difficult to believe that a
similar development has not occurred
for vast numbers of other suns. In the
words of Pope:

He, who through vast immensity can pierce,
See worlds on worlds compose one universe,
Observe how system into system runs,
What other planets circle other suns.
What varied being peoples every star,
May tell why Heaven has made us as we are.

If it may be permitted to an astrono-
mer to consider the social development of

21

the earth from a planetary standpoint,
that is, as merely one of many pre-
sumptive planets with possible inhabit-
ants, then we shall have to admit that
this social evolution has been very slow,
almost discouraging, in spite of all that
Christianity has done for it. Paleon-
tologists teach us that man has lived
upon the earth for some 75,000 years.
Nevertheless, one of man's chief oc-
cupations during much of this period
has been to take from his neighbor, by
force if necessary, even to the point of
murder, that which he desires for him-
self. He has been suspicious of his
fellow-men living in different parts of the
earth with ways and habits unlike his
own. He has had the strongest of
prejudices against those who may differ
from him in race and color. This is
not a reproach to Christianity, for
Christianity has been the principal cause
of improvement in these matters. Never-
theless, collective murder is still current
in the world, and it seems difficult
enough to get rid of it. We can imagine
planets that have developed otherwise,
with brotherly love as the main motive
in life, planets where the altruistic

33

principles of Christianity have reached
a far higher development than here.
But this is the only planet with which
we can have any contact, so far as
science foresees at present, and although
we may be heartily ashamed that there
is so much evil on the earth, we must
make the best of the situation and try
to improve it. Let not the reader
misunderstand us to be advocating the
policy of pure pacifism. The destructive
tendencies of individuals and nations
must be controlled, and controlled by
force if necessary. The good Samaritan
of the parable was commended; but
would he not have been a better Samari-
tan if he had done his duty as a citizen
and had taken up responsibilities which
the priest and the Levite had shunned,
and had seen to it that the road to Jericho
was so policeTi and so protected that rob-
bery would have been impossible on that
highway ? From the planetary point of
view, the most thorough application of the
principles of Christianity seems to be the
only way to bring our planet up to the
moral standard to be expected of it.

The principle of faith is not at all
foreign to science and to its workers, and

23

this faith is quite akin to that of reUgion.
The labor of scientists is chiefly directed
by their faith in great principles, and by
their firm belief that the universe is one
of law. Otherwise why should men and
women give up their lives in patient
research in the endeavor to discover the
principles which hold true and are part
of the laws of nature ? There would be
no encouragement to such research if
the operations of nature were purely
capricious and without law. The process
of scientific discovery is that of following
some incomplete working hypothesis or
theory based upon previous experiment
or observation, and then of testing this
hypothesis by further experiment and
observation, holding to that part of it
which proves to be good, and improving
it as the work proceeds. Such faith
in the eternal principles of the Creator,
as we have said, differs not much from
Christian faith in the eternal moral
principles of God.

The idea of immortality of spirit is also
not far different from some fundamental
beliefs of the physicists. The name is
different, and conservation of energy*
is the principle. This affirms that the

24

sum total of energy in the universe is
constant, changeable from one form to
another, but essentially immortal. Now
this principle, to our thinking, cannot
be rigorously demonstrated any more
than can the immortality of spirit.
Those who have crossed into the realm
of spirit do not communicate with
mortals; at least, there seems to be no
thoroughly scientific evidence of such
communication. The conservation of
energy can be tested by experiment only
within a limited field.

Another illustration is the theory of
an all-pervading aether, a theory which
has been tenaciously held by physicists
for a century past. It is difficult, if
not impossible, to demonstrate the
objective reality of aether, but the mind
demands the existence of a medium
by which the waves of light may transfer
their energy across the almost limitless
void of space from distant suns or
nebulae. Although the recent theory of
Einstein, which postulates the aether
in its initial s'tages as a theory, abandons
it before it is through, it still remains
to be seen whether or not a substitute
for the aether has been found which

25

will be permanently acceptable to
science.

We are contending for the view that
the scientific study of the material world
tends to separate the spiritual realm
from that world — in other words, that
it tends to make spiritual conceptions
less material. In physics the funda-
mental notions or qualities which are
not purely numerical are expressed in
terms of mass, of length, and of time,

are technically known as 'dimfnsions'' of

With the advancement of science, our
recognition of the supremacy of law in
the material world has greatly increased.
The motions of the celestial bodies were
among the first to be established by
the immortal discoveries of Copernicus,
Kepler, and Newton. Cause and effect
are much more difficult to discover in
biology, but the penetrating researches
of Pasteur and many others have re-
vealed the micro-organisms which cause
diseases in men and animals. Many of
the factors controlling men's actions and
relations have been analyzed; much
that was formerly attributed to a
capricious deity has now been seen in a
far more dignified light as the operation
of natural law. Certain phenomena
were long considered as beyond law, such
as the lightning stroke and the tornado.
These things were regarded as a divine
retribution for human sin. Electric

will be permanently acceptable to
science.

We are contending for the view that
the scientific study of the material world
tends to separate the spiritual realm
from that world— in other words, that
it tends to make spiritual conceptions*
less material. In physics the funda-
mental notions or qualities which are
not purely numerical are expressed in
terms of mass, of length, and of time,
that is, of quantity of matter, of extent
m space, and of duration of time. These
are technically known as '' dimensions " of
physical units. Thus, velocity is length
divided by time; energy is mass multi-
plied by the square of length and divided
by the square of time. By definition or
common understanding of spirit, shall
we not regard it as wholly divorced from
mass or quantity of matter in the first
of these dimensions ? Secondly, can we
associate length of extent with spirit?
Does it not seem illogical, if not absurd,
to think of a large spacial extent of
spirit ? Finally, may we not question
whether spirit has any relation to time
or the succession of material events?
In other words, a spirit is wholly distinct

26

from matter; must it not also be beyond
the restraint of the material ''dimen-
sions'' of matter? If the possibility of
this speculation is admitted, there would
be no question where to answer in regard
to spirit, and presumably no question
when.

nmit^rs are gradually being understood
si» that thry may be predicted with some
ilrgrrc of certainty. Human destiny
is subject to these physical laws.
Human lives are wiped out by storms, by
floods, by disasters, but all as a conse-
quence of laws as yet only partially
understood. Science reveals critical
stages in the changes of matter; for
instance, water suddenly turns to steam
as a certain definite temperature is
reached. After a regular progress, an
abrupt change may occur. In astronomy
we have seen with our own eyes the
sudden climax in the history of a star,
when within thirty-six hours its light
has increased many thousand fold, rising
to be the rival of the brightest star in
the heavens, and then fading away until
it returns to its previous condition of
relative inconsequence. Tycho saw such
a star, as did Kepler, and two have
attained the brilliance of the first
magnitude within our own experience
in -the past quarter of a century. These
cataclysms seemed at first purely fortui-

28

tous, sporadic, supernatural. But as
minute study has been given to the
changes in the spectra of these stars,
we begin to see law and regularity in
what was previously accident. In fact,
it may be the destiny of any star to have
its day of glory in the course of its
evolution. Or such outbursts may occur
periodically, repeating themselves after
a few thousand years or longer. The
record of science is still far too short to
give a history of such cosmic phenomena.
Thus, as science progresses, order and
law become more and more recognizable,
in the test tube or in the stars.

It seems to be a sacred and reverent
duty to thoughtful men to go on with
the study of these laws and to find man's
relation to them. When they bear most
heavily against him, he will seek to
adapt himself to them, and he will always
have as a supreme illustration these words
of Christ, ''Thy will, not mine, be done."

The quest of science is the Truth with- .
in the material universe; that of religion
can be no less limited in its range, but
refers more particularly to moral truths
and the relation of man to the Creator
and to his fellow-men. It is hard to see

refers more particularly to moral truths
and the relation of man to the Creator
and to his fellow-men. It is hard to see

29

why there should be an apparently
deliberate effort to develop or to maintain
an estrangement between these two
forms of effort to gain useful knowledge.

We cannot be expected to believe
that the inspiration of the seekers for
truth has been confined only to those of
certain limited periods, or of a certain
race, or that the inspiration was ever
complete, or that it ever has ceased to
be given in some degree to honest workers
in the quest for truth. For us, the two
friends, Milton and Galileo, were glorious
illustrations of inspired men of their
time.

We have no worry about miracles.
The marvels of life and growth that are
daily seen about us in a natural way
seem miraculous almost beyond belief,
yet they are observed facts. Who can
find the mathematical formulae under
which that little bulb in my garden,
subject only to the environment of soil,
of water, and of air, can send up its shoots
in April of each year, and develop in its
exquisite detail the trumpet narcissus,
always essentially the same and gathering
up from its surroundings that delicate
odor characteristic of it ? Beside it may

30

grow the dandelion, subject to the same
external conditions, but so different in
the result.

Again, we are still very far from under-
standing how that frail, bright-hued
bird can find his way across some
hundreds of miles of sea and thousands
of miles of land, back again to that maple
tree where last year the nest was built.
Yet, when at last such mysteries are
solved after patient research, it will, of
course, be found that they are operations
of natural law in God's world. For
Omniscience and Omnipotence there are
no miracles. The development of a
human being is doubtless as complicated
as that of a star, but from the atom to
the star and from the microbe to the man,
we can believe that the same divine
power holds sway.

the constructive type. Its purpose is,
through cultivating intelligent study,
to increase the functioning power of
religion in the life of today. Each of
its Outline Study Courses, including
New Testament, Old Testament and
Theology, provides for fifty to one
hundred hours of systematic work in
a year. Its publication, THE INSTI-
TUTE, issues annually a new course
in monthly form. Subject for 1924-5,
'*The Religion of the Bible.'' These
together with its professional reading
courses, traveling libraries and cor-
respondence courses yearly serve ten
thousand people in their own homes.
