TEN CENTS

ACUSHNET’S BOATS -
SAVE FREIGHTER’S CREW

Coal Laden Meteor, Base

Off Block Island in High
Sea, Sinks To Bottom
In 15 Minutes

On Sunday, July 11, unknown
to most of our scientific inhabit-
ants, Woods Hole witnessed the
rescue of a shipwrecked crew.
At 11:30 in the morning the
Acushnet, at dock here, picked
up an S. O. S. from the S. 58S.
Meteor which had struck on the
rocks in the thick fog and heavy
seas off Block Island. The
Acushnet immediately put out,
breaking all speed limits through
the fog, and cruised around for
position near the wrecked vessel,
waiting for the fog to lift.

Coast Guard Patrol Boat No.
229 was standing by the freigh-
ter during the afternoon but was
prevented from going alongside
by high seas.

The twenty-three members of
the crew had been without food
all day, since only the super-
structure of the ship remained
above water. Near midnight
the fog lifted and the men were
taken aboard the Acushnet and

brought to Woods Hole and)

later taken to Boston.

The quartermaster, when in-
terviewed said, “It wasn’t any-
thing much to.write about. No-
thing much happened!”. Of
course not! What’s a wreck
more or less. Nothing ever
happens at Woods Hole!

DR. MORGAN
HONORED

“Genetics and the Physiolo-
gy of Development” is the
title of the fifth William
Thompson Sedgwich Memorial
lecture to be delivered by Dr.
T. H. Morgan in the laboratory
auditorium at eight o’clock on
Tuesday evening, July 27. The
public is cordially invited to
attend.

This honor is annually con-
ferred on “men of disting-
uished imminence in some sub-
ject within the scope of biolo-
gy and public health.” The
lecturer is chosen each year by
a committee composed of six
of the leading men in these
sciénces. _ Dr. Gary N. Calkins

member of this committee.

AOZOTORP |

If hunting is classed as one
of the sports, then the sportiest |
place at M. B. L. is the Proto-|
zoology Lab., for the hunt is on. |
On June 29th, the class of °19
was introduced to what Prof.
Gary N. Calkins, the Director,
termed as the ‘Beginning of
six weeks of fun’. In the main
the course seems to consist of a
continuous, relentless chase of
the poor defenceless Protozoa
|in the region of Woods Hole.

In addition to the Director,
the staff of the Protozoology
instruction includes Dr. Mary
S. MacDougall and Dr. Wool-
ford B. Baker. Every morning,
including Saturday, Dr. Calkins|
lectures for one hour, and then
the fun of chasing begins. But
that kind is not the only kind
of fun indulged in, as may be
seen, for example, by the|
schedule of this week: on Wed-
nesday, July 21, weather per-
mitting, the ‘class sets out on
the good ship ‘Cayadetta’ at
11:45 for Hadley Harbor, on a
picnic. On Friday afternoon, |
the 23rd, tea will-be served at
the M. B. L. Club by the Proto-|
zoology class. Come and
join the fun. The reason for
the Saturday lectures is that
Dr. Calkins expects to sail for
Europe about August Ist, a
week before the formal closing
of the course; and in order to
make his lectures complete in
one-hour doses, there must be
six each week. Perhaps this
extra lecture has been the
cause of the unusual impetus of
the attack on the Protozoa in
the laboratory, for there seems
to be a condition wherein it is
hard to get the class out of the
laboratory and away from their
microscopes. Instead of hav-
ing as a goal, ‘“‘Recognizable
drawings of 100 different
species,’ some members of the
class seem to have adopted
1000 as their quota. The speed
resulting from so much time in
the laboratory sometimes leads
to dagger-looks for some in-
dividuals from others who have
the usual desire to swim and
play tennis and so forth, as a
raise in the course require-
ments seems imminent.

Perhaps this speed is some-

‘BIOLOGY AND |

EXPERIMENTATION

Last Friday evening at eight
o’clock Professor H. 8. Jennings,
Director of the Biological la-
boratory at Johns Hopkins
University delivered a lecture
entitled: “Biology and Experi- |
mentation”’.

It was a _superb analysis and
constructive picture of the con-|
ditions which face the modern
biological investigator, with
their historical origins. The
history of recent years of pre?
liminary recognaisance with ac-
counts of the currents and
counter currents of research and
dispute which have led to the
modern outlook and opportuni-

those days of meager income.
The work came first: Comforts

of the cities were lacking. It
was’ easiest to persuade some
Woods Hole resident to give you
It was al-
ways the lady of the house who
had to be persuaded, the landlord
keeping out of the deal if he
were spared responsibility of en-
tertaining or being bored by the
intruder.

They were often very kind and
patient in fixing up the spare .
room for the student. They took °
a chance he might be a pleasant
lodger even though a “bug
hunter”. Sometimes a prized
suite was given up to a favorite
lodger, and even a bath was per-
mitted, if there was a bathroom,
when a naturalist became very
insistent. These associations
gave a chance for mutual endur-
ance. Indeed, valuable discover-
ies were made by the residents
and by the students of rare or
unexpected humaw qualities and
friendly capacities in the other

The final drawing together of

I was officially born on Mon-
day July 12, when the Executive
Committee of the Marine Bio-
logical Laboratory sanctioned
the proposal for my birth. It
was not a case of artificial activ-
ation for perfectly natural condi-
tions initiated my development.
It was the actual need of an
agent within the institution to
diseminate news among its
workers and to co-ordinate the
varied activities of the labora-
tory.

At this very early stage in my
life I am naturally lacking in
certain qualities. Unity, organi-
zation and differentiation were
incorporated into my -amor-
pherous and plastic body. Hav-
ing had a natural origin I may
look forward to normal growth
and development, and ever in-
creasing usefulness.

But I am only an infant and
must be carefully nurtured and
encouraged. My diet must be
judiciously chosen so as to be

easily digested and properly ap-|

preciated. But give me some
substanial food.

I am weak and helpless and by
force of circumstances I may in’
some ways lack individuality.
External agents are inhibiting |

posed. For those of us who do
not have an unlimited amount of
‘money or time, and who do not
‘have cars at our disposal, the
plans for the inauguration of
the Saturday night dances are
received enthusiastically. We can
join the party at the time that
\fits in with our schedule of work
land leave at the time that suits
us best. They will be a medium
through which we can meet
workers outside our own group,
and greatly extend our circle of
acquaintances. And last but not
least, the five dollar bill that
would have been consumed had
we spent the evening at one of
ithe places on the Cape will re-
jmain untouched. The orchestra,
\vefreshments and the opportuni-
ity of dancing with so many
members of the Club will make
the evening more fun than one
spent outside of Woods Hole.

Thus these dances will be of
benefit from the point of view
of our work, for talking to peo-
ple whose problems are in the
same or widely in different elds
is helpful and inspiring. Those
\working in research, or those
‘students planning to take up this
same or in widely different fields
;work should seize every oppor-
tunity of becoming acquainted
with their fellow workers. The
‘most useful thing that our Club
\ean do is to use its ingenuity in
\bringing about conditions that it
fat least make it possible for
every member of the Club to
meet every other member.

Sure, and we are the “bud-

our source of preliminary in-
formation, the catalogue, says,
“The course is designed for
those who have had previous
training in zoology and more
especially for those having a
professional interest in_ the
subject. It will consist of lab-
oratory and field work with
lectures, given with the view
to familiarize the student, not
only with the anatomy, but also
with the habits and general
ecological relations of the ani-

not an iota of the work and the

some reason they forgot to say
that we have representatives

enthusiasm are astounding to
undergraduates who still smash
coverslips and specimens in in-

DRS. CHAMBERS AND
REZNIKOFF ENTERTAIN

Give Actual Screen Demonstra-
tion of Micro-disection to
Enthusiastic Audience -

On Friday evening Dr. Cham-
bers gave an interesting lecture
entitled; “SSome Aspects of the
Reaction of Protoplasm to Salts”
and an exhibit by projection on
a trancelucent screen was given
by the actual process of mani-
pulating an amioba with needles
and pipeltes.

This lecture was quite a de-
parture in emphasis on demon-
stration as compared to descrip-
tion. Dr. Chambers discussed the
effects of exposing amoeba and
certain marine ova to the action
of the four salts commonly found
\in sea water and in blood by im-
mersing in various solutions;
and these results were compared
with reactions produced by mio-
roinjections of the same solu-
tions into the substance of the °
organisms.

Some interesting contrasts of
effects were shown for chorme-
somes and Cytoplasm. The
points were brought out chiefly
by photographs and diagrams, -
furnishing pictures of proto-
plasmie structure and behavior
of quite definite nature.

Following this, the lecturer
gave a very exceptionally suc
cessful demonstration in pro-
jections through the new Leitz
combined macro and micro-pro-
jection apparatus of actual ex-
periments made by Dr. Reznik-
off on living amoeba with the
new type Chambers-Leitz Micro:
manipulater. These demonstra-
tions of the behavior of living
cells under experiment to 500
peopfe furnished a novel and
much applauded departure.

RESEARCH BY FOREIGN

how correlated with the kind
of class. It is remarkable how
the complexion of the class
ehanges from year to year.
There seems to be a great
dearth of bachelors in the
course, for, aside from the six
women in the class, the others
are mostly young married men.
Is there any correlation be-
tween this fact and the speed
with which the class works?

One might ask what has
been accomplished by the Pro-
tozoa hunters. The most biz-
arre forms imaginable have
been seen and drawn, in. the
effort to reach the goal of 100.
Worms, diatoms, desnoids, lar-
vae of metazoa and everything
else imaginable, have been
drawn and called various forms
of Protozoa. Many new Pro-
tazoa, of this type, have un-
doubtedly been located if the
drawings are to be considered
valid. Dr. MacDougall and
Dr. Baker most certainly have
the sympathy of the whole

class_in the matter of recog-'!

nizing species for some of the
drawings turned in. Hats, cats,
dogs, babies’ bibs and whatnot
have all been observed in the
microscope, in the form off pro-
spective protozoa. This leads
to a notice which should be
published: Members of the
summer colony are hereby
warned not to lose sight of
their toy Pekingese dogs on the
beach, inasmuch as one near-
sighted member of the class
recently brought one in and
drew it, thinking it was a new
species of Ciliate. Also any
real Protozoan pets on the
grounds should be carefully
guarded, for there is danger of
“losing’ anything that looks
like a single-celled animal.

Various methods of taming
the Protozoa seem to have been
perfected in the laboratory.
Some lay claim to especially
well-trained and tamed forms.
They can make them hold still,
turn over, wiggle a flagellum,
or sit up and take food to dem-
onstrate the mouth, all at will.
The favorite method, as ob-
served, seems to be that of
gentle talking to the beasts. If
anyone should happen to walk
through the laboratory and
note someone talking, appar-
ently to himself, they should
not consider him as a patient
for a Psychiatrist. He is mere-
ly trying to humor the source
of one of his 100 recognizable
drawings.”

We have in our midst this
‘ssummer, Mr. R. L. Duffas,
prominent author, and writer
for the New York Times.

Anions and Snoitac

On Monday of the past week
Prof. Merkle H. Jacobs con-
cluded his series of lectures and
handed the class over to Dr.
Wallace O. Fenn. This first
portion of the course had con-
sisted of a study of some of the
major physico-chemical effects
obtainable with living material
—notably thermal, osmotic and
ionic. The latter included not
only the various relations en-
volving H-ion, but also the ef-
fects of the more common ¢ca-
tions. 5

Dr. Fenn’s interests lying in
the field of ‘“‘muscle,” his al-
lotment of four hours was de-
voted entirely to tracing the
arguments pro and con for
what little is known of the
nature of muscular contraction
and recovery. His discussion
centered about the chemical
and energetic relations which
have been observed to date—
verified and unverified.

On the Saturday just past,
Dr. Amberson took possession
of the lecture platform, for a
series devoted to some of the
energy relations of living tissue.
Because of the large number of
non-registered attendants at
all the past lectures, a list of
those scheduled for the coming
week will be announced regu-
larly in this column. Dr. Am-
berson’s series follows:

Saturday, July 17—“‘Electro-
biologic Phenomena and Their
Interpretation.

Monday, July 19 — Conclu-
sion of Saturday’s Topic.

Tuesday, July 20—‘The Ef-
fect of Variation in the-Oxygen
Pressure on the Energy Rela-
tions of Living Material.”
Wednesday, July 21— “The
Mechanism of Oxidation in
Living Tissues.’’

Thursday, July 22 — “Res-
piratory and Calorimetric Re-
lations, with Special Reference
to the Eggs of Marine Forms
Abundant in this Vicinity.”

Friday, July 23 — “Electric
Fish,” with a demonstration.

Saturday, July 24—“Oxida-
tion’”’ Potentials.

Regarding the last lecture,
Dr. Fenn has not yet decided
whether he will accept at Dr.
Amberson’s hand the honor of
giving it. From the writer’s
personal observation, only the
flipping of a coin could pos-
sibly help him make up his
mind.

During the last week, work
in the laboratory has been
transformed from the rountine
class—assignment variety of
expierment to somewhat less
organized activity. It has con-
sisted of group work on prop-
erties of frog muscle, respira-
tory studies on frog muscle and
marine eggs, etc.; the energy

If no news be good news, the
Botany department, to all out-
ward appearances, shows signs
of a long and illustrious career
of scientific progress. When
interviewed by questioning re-
porters, the staff shakes a
solemn head,—and that is that.
Perhaps there is a possibility
that a “human interest” story
is a rare occurrence in so scien-
tific and serious (?) a commun-
ity, but we still have hopes.

If we do lack news, how-
ever, we abound in local color,
for the life of a botanist is a
rare one. We have been work-
ing. (We insist on making this
very clear!) It may appear to
outsiders who are not initiated
into the thallophytic rites and
mysteries that the students of
Botany at Woods Hole enjoy
the swimming and tennis to a
degree incompatible with all
the preconceived notions of the

life habits of botanical neo-
phytes. But we do work! For
the past three weeks we

have collected, classified and
“chucked-out” a good part of
the available and visible marine
flora of these parts. We have
waded through all the ditches
and oozzy ponds in the neigh-
borhood. We have rowed right
manfully across the harbor to
Pine Island, and then when the
boats have stuck, climbed out

into the briny deep and pushed.

them back home again. Last
but not least, twice has the
good ship Cayadetta carried a
gallant (if somewhat erratic
looking) crew to far and dis-
tant isles. The first long trip
was to Pennikese and the sec-
ond (from which we are just
recovering) was to Nashawena
and Pasque.

We have already had two
seminars on Monday evenings.
The first one of the season was
addressed by Mr. Fogg. who
gave an illustrated lecture on
the “Flora of the Selkirks,”’
and by Dr. W. R. Taylor, who
spoke of his algae—collecting
experiences in the same region.
The discussion that followed
dealt largely with the mosquito
crop in the Great Northwest
and certain culinary triumphs
composed of flour, baking pow-
der and water, greased yp a
little with bacon fat and suc-
cessfully only when cooked in
the great open spaces.

The second seminar of the
season was addressed by Dr.
C. H. Farr, who lectured on the
“Physiology of Root Hairs.”
Dr. Farr initiated us into the
activities of root hairs when
subjected to various mechan-
ical and chemical stimuli, and
after showing us a very lengthy
and voluminous record, famili-
arly termed the “root hair

PISCES

Many of the scientific studies
carried on by members of the
Bureau of Fisheries staff at the
Woods Hole station are parts
of a well organized internation-
al program of fishery investiga-
tions in the western North At-
lantic. Mr. Elmer Higgins and
O. E. Sette, two of the U. S.
representatives who attended
the last meeting of the North
America Committee on Fishery
Investigations held at St. Johns,
Newfoundland, July 9th and
10th, arrived at Woods Hole
last Friday. They report that
the past year’s results and the
future program considered at
this meeting augur well for the
continued progress of Canadi-
an, Newfoundland, French and
American investigations of the
ichthyology. and oceanography
of this region. Cod, haddock
and mackerel are the principal
species of fish being studied
jetntly by the nations con-
cerned. Mr. Sette who is in
charge of the mackerel investi-
gations in the U. S. will con-
tin at Woods Hole during the
major portion of the summer.

A conference of investigators
interested in various phases of
aquatic biology covered at the
station, pursuant to"the call of
Doctor Albert Mann of the
National Museum. The sev-
eral meetings were well attend-
ed and such matters were dis-
cussed as the close and extend-
ed cooperation of investigators
who are interested in the or-
ganisms which compose the
fundamental food supply of
our marine and inland waters,

ticker,” concluded his talk
with a discussion of root hair
psychology, much to the de-
light of the audience.

This week’s seminar will
have the Rev. A. M. Keefe,
who will speak on “Sargassum,
with Notes on. the Sargassum
Sea.”’ On July 26; Dr. Fish of
the Fisheries will speak on
“Life in the Open Ocean as
Seen from the Arcturus.”’ Both
of these meetings will be held
in the old lecture hall, and
from dark rumors that pervade
this laboratory life, we feel
that steamed Myteli and fudge
miay increase the purely bio-
logical interest of these occa-
sions.

No account of the life of a
botany student, however, is
complete without a word or .
two about our “quizzical’
staff of instructors. Of late,
no day is complete without “a
little review—not a tesc, in any
sense of the word, you under-
stand,—just a diagnosis!’’ Are
we not unique? We certainly
are!

EMBRYOS

The work in the course up to
date has covered the develop-
ment of the Teleosts, Coelen-
terates, squid and Crustacea.
Dr. Goodrich gave the lectures}
on the Teleost Embryology, Dr.
Plough the Embryology of the
Coelenterates, Dr. Grave the
Embryology of the squid and
Dr. Packard the Embryology of
the Crustacea.

Two special lectures have
been given thus far by inves-
tigators concerning the work in
their special fields of research.

Dr. Stockard of Cornell Med-
ical College gave a most inter-
esting lecture on the effect of
the environment on the embry-
onic period of life.

Dr. Clarke of Johns Hopkins
also gave a very interesting
talk on the development of the
vascular and lymphatic systems
and the differentiation of wan-
dering cells. Dr. and Mrs.
Clarke drew their conclusions
from observations made on the
tail of a tadpole.

The regular lectures for the
coming week beginning Mon-
day, July 19, will be given by
Dr. Rogers on the Embryology
of the Echinoderus.

Wednesday, July 21, Dr.
Henry Fry will give a special
lecture on Parthenogenesis.

On Saturday, July 24, Dr.
Charles Fish of the Bureau of
Fisheries will lecture. He has
been working on the larvae
found daily in the tow.

In the afternoon of the last
day of the study of fish embry-
ology July 6, the class enjoyed
a trip to the fish traps. The
Cayadetta was used for the
trip. Those who became so in-
quisitive about the process of
the hauling of the traps that they
went close to them in the skiff
found the trip a rather moist
one. We rather think the col-
lecting crew enjoys splashing
the “bug hunters”. At any rate
the haul was an exceedingly
large one for this time of the
year- It was estimated at
about a half ton. The forms
collected were mostly scup,
dogfish, puffers and_ squids.
Before returning Capt. Veeder
gave the class an added treat
by taking them into Vineyard
Sound thus prolonging the ride.

Last Friday morning the
class went out on the Nereis to
collect plankton. Towing was
done through the Hole and in
Hadley Harbour. The plank-
ton collected proved to be very
rich in Crustacean larvae. °

The past week has been a
very big one for birthdays in
the Embryology class. Red

the possibility of bringing to
the attention of the younger
biologists some of the many
problems which are worthy of
immediate attention, ways of
gaining the cooperation of es-
tablished institutions, and other
things of mutual interest. As
an immediate result of the
meetings a committee will be
appointed to carefully consider
the situation and report at a
later date. Visiting delegates

ble, just couldn’t be placed un-
der the grand head of Proto-
zoa. But we certainly had our

first real introduction to the
biological ‘profession when
tourists passing Penzance

ponds in which the “inverte-
brates” were gleefully dis-
porting themselves, exclaimed,
“Hey’ James, will you look at
all those crazy people!” But
the difference lay in the fact
that we were laughing just as
uproariously at them. Poor
ignorant creatures!

Did you ever see the “rose-
petaled blossoms” of the Tu-
bellaria lifting in the water
like a miniature garden of La
France roses? But Dr. Young
informed us of the fact that
they were “perfectly good”
members of the zoological fam-
ily carrying the preponderous
name of Coelenterates. And
again, a most delicate, lace-
lake egret of feathery white-
ness was gravely introduced as
Schizotricha. How do they
stand up under the weight of
it all? But that wasn’t a cir-
cumstance to the thrill we got
when Dr. Young found the
free-swimming medusa form
of Clytia and announced that
this was its first entrance into
the scientific world.

But we didn’t even wait for
a Woods Hole fog to disappear
before we were frantically try-
ing to dislodge some _ of
Dr. Bennett’s Platyhelminthes
Such a
time as we had, all but grow-
ing triclad intestines ourselves
trying to trace out systems
when the hungry little beasts
had simply gorged themselves
with a sumptuous repast of
coal dust. Rather the idea you
know of tracing a black thread
on a black carpet with all the
electric lights turned off. But
we found a rather effective
means of getting around the
difficulties—smash them gent-
ly but firmly—presto, the din-
ner gone, and the dinner hand-
ling apparatus appears.

If anybody wants to find out
as much about Annulata as the
invertebrates intend to learn,
we'll say that Dr. Martin is lec-

that subject with the Bryazoa
on July 23.

TOWN TOPICS

Woods Hole, with its little
harbors filled with fluttering
sails, its verdant hills breathing
out a welcome fragrance, and
its cozy farms reflecting its
cheery spirit, is a true beauty
spot; at this time of the year
especially, it overfiows with
happiness and wide awake
people. Wide awake people
who live near together, but
many of whom do not know of
one third the activities sur-
rounding them. So this, dear
reader, will be our aim in the
future, to keep the dwellers of
Woods Hole in touch with each
other and with the current
events of the day. We hope
yeu will co-operate with us.

The ladies of the M. E.
Church will hold their annual
sale in the vestry of the church
on Wednesday, July 21, at 3
p. m. Aprons, fancy articles,
candy and home cooked food

Cooperation in Research

Our civilization has _ pro-
gressed rapidly since man first
learned that cooperation and or-
ganization were essential to his
advancement—nay, even to his
existence. Likewise cooperation
in research and scientific pro-
gress go handin hand. The field
of science has been split up into
components so diversified and
specialized that one person alone
no longer can comprehend one
of its major divisions. Yet fund-
amentally they are inter-related,
hence for intelligent research
close cooperation is essential.

Some workers are reticent
about letting others know just
what they are doing or how they
are doing it. This attitude is to
be condemned, except perhaps
on rare occasions in the field of
medicine and surgery.
not in the interest of science,

even though in some cases it may |

be better for the ego. A captain
in the war who leads his men to
battle for his own glory is not a
good soldier. He must coordin-
ate his activities with those of

the others for the good of the |

whole.
A research worker is support-
ed almost without exception

although in the end the commun-
ity reaps dividends far in excess
of its contributions.
should not be taxed, and benevo-
lent persons should not donate
money, that one group of in-
dividuals may be glorified at the
expense of others and to the

detriment of scientific progress. |

Investigators at our own lab-
oratory are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the problems and
methods of their co-workers for
the greatest productiveness in
their research. It turns out that
in countless cases the knowledge
of what one investigator was do-

,| other

This is|

/ourselves

another.

An hour spent in the labora-
tory of another scientific worker
could probably be spent in no
better way. Mutual discussions
of the problems mt by the in-
dividual workers is most produc-
tive in the formation of new
ideas.

The proposal to initiate at the
beginning of the next season a
system whereby this can be ac-
complished deserves the hearty
support of every one interested
in the progress of scientific re-
search. The general plan will be
to have the different investiga-
tors volunteer to devote one day
during the season to showing
investigators the work
that is being carried out in their

respective laboratory. These
volunteers will profit:
(1) By the privilege of

learning about other work and
visiting other laboratories.

(2) By reducing the number
of interruptions resulting from
persons droping into their lab-
oratories to learn of their work
while they are in the midst of
carrying out an important series
of experiments.

(3) By the satisfaction of
realizing that they are doing
their utmost to promote scienti-
fic research.

The cost for the printing and
the paper alone in our last issue
amounted to $83.75. We sold
about 380 copies of our weekly
at 10c each and we carried ad-
vertising material to the extent
of about $30.00. We thus find
somewhat better off
financially than we had predict-
ed. We cannot hope to increase
our income greatly by an in-
creased number of readers for
\they are limited; but we can look
forward to devoting a little more
space to advertisements. Every
member of the laboratory should
make a special point of patroniz-

ing those stores which insert an-
nouncements in our columns.
They are contributing to our
/support, and it is our duty to
reciprocate.

| LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR LABORATORY
WORKERS

\ (Continued from last week)

This ever increasing demand
and) insistence of invading sum-

mer. laboratory workers and
friends: who came along soon
created new situation in the

little town. Rooms were scarce,

available hou..es fewer, and rates
went up unti. the sky was the

the directory and whose names'|

ing would have materially helpec Jimit, since there was no more

land to be had for either town
resident or laboratory worker.
The very life of the laboratory |
seemed threatened when the
“beach lots’’ were opened up, to
be added to the already growing
“Crow Hill” section. Later came
the Gansett property, and finally
the new undeveloped tract for
further building.

This seemed to provide amply
for the future growth of the
settled part of the community,
annually returning to the labora-
tory as their summer home. But
Woods Hole residents had
reached the limit of their powers |
to accommodate the additional
increasingly large number of
laboratory workers who come
jonly for a season or two, and
who do not yet wish to take on
the responsibilities of regular
residents. Since many of us
residents must have bathrooms,
electric lights, automobiles, etc., |
irents and room rates for the
transient summer visitor are apt
to climb. Hence many who have
desired to come for a season or
so, have found rates and open-
jings prohibitive. The situation
has led to the building of dorm-
‘tories for this class of worker.

The laboratory developed
dormitories some time ago from
dwellings which came into its
hands, and postponed the time
of effectually meeting this need
until the last minute. These
dormitories have grown to sur-
prising proportions for both
‘single men and women and for
\families; but still there is a
steady demand for really ade-
quate quarters for the very type
of young investigators not yet
‘established who would be greatly
benefitted here and who’ could
‘help so materially in developing |
ithe laboratory’s work.

It is for this still unsatisfied |
need, so important to the very,
life of the enterprise represented
by the Marine Biological Labora-'
tory, that the newly announced
|brick dormitories and apart-
ments are to be built. These
‘buildings will provide quarters |
at low rates for many not placed |
in the present dormitories, some,
of which will still be used. |
_ Eight houses, including the!
jnomestead and the old _ brick)
|building, now serve as dormitor-
‘ies and belong to the laboratory.

The Dexter House has been a
favorite dormitory for families
and some single students ever
since it ceased to be a hotel
where some of us boarded.
use will now be discontinued.

The Ritter House, with family
suites always in demand, on the
corner of West and Center
streets, opposite the old lecture
hall, will now be taken down.
The Whitman House nearby,
now the Women’s dormitory, on
the next lot, will be moved. So
there will be ample room for the

new brick apartment house.

This will be set back on the
grass and will have three stories
and a good basement. At first
about three-quarters of the
whole will be built in form of an
angle with the angle opening
southward toward Center street.
Later another wing will join the
east end of the angle.

The plans of the apartment
house show twelve very attrac-
tive family suites, each with liv-
ing room, kitchen, and bath;
half of these with two bedrooms
and half with one. In addition
there are two suites with two
connecting bedrooms and private
bath between on each floor;
while along the hall there is a
row of eight to ten single bed
rooms with a bath in common at
the end of the hall.

On the first floor there is a
large living room for common
use by those not provided with
a private one. The basement
also contains trunk rooms, store
‘rooms, and a laundry and
kitchen for common use. There
is also a furnace by which the
building can be heated for any
wishing to stay in cold weather;,
‘a very important provision.
There is a full equipment of elec-
tric lights, running water,
screens, and necessary furniture.

it is expected also to maintain
family suites in the Hubbard
House, as at present. Rates are
not yet fixed but will be far be-
low anything now asked.

The other brick building, the
new dormitory, will likewise be
|three stories and a basement and
will stand on the Drew lawn, in
front of the Drew House. It
will face the Eel Pond on the
corner of East and North
‘streets.

It is planned for 100 students,
one wing to hold 50 women, tHe
other 50 men. The basement
holds storerooms, boilerroom,
etc. The first floor has a large
social room, placed centrally and
opening into a patio with garden
To each side of this central ar-
rangement are six or seven bed
rooms, each with two beds, and
running water, while nearby is
a large wash room with toilets,
showers, etc. Each of the other
two floors are similarly arranged
for 387 students; one-half for
men, the other for women. Cer-
tainly there is nothing left to be
desired here. The bathrooms
and large social room can be
heated. In addition to all this,
it is planned to put several beds
in each of the rooms of the Drew
House to care for 35 or 40

Its|younger men; and similarly to

fix up the Kidder House or the
Whitman House for 35 or 40
girls.

Blood Respiration

Professor Alfred C. Redfield,

gave a paper on “The Respira-

The varied behavior
and capacities of hemoglobia in
vertebrate blood and of hemo-

relation to oxygen and carbon
dioxide were set forth very fully
and thoroughly by the speaker.
A considerable series of animals
were studied and many curves
and tables were thrown on the
screen furnishing a valuable set
of comparative data for refer-
ence in further blood studies;
and a surprising individuality
and variability was discovered
in the behavior of the blood of
various organisms along these

Genetics of Sciara

Dr. C. W. Metz, of the Station
for Experimental Evolution at
Coid Spring Harbor, on Tuesday
evening, July 13, delivered a lec-
ture on “Aberrant Features of
Chromosome Behavior and
Genetic Behavior in Sciara and
the Problems They Present.”
Two abstracts of this page have
been received by The Biolog and
since, to a certain extent, they
supplement each other, both are
printed below.

(1) The lecturer described a
novel relationship between the
chromosomes of the two sexes in
the fungus-gnat Sciara, and sev-
eral peculiarities in chromosome
behavior, including the regular
occurrence at one spermatocyte
division of a monocentric mito-
sis, involving cell division and
chromosome segregation. In
these fiflies the male possesses
two more chromosomes than the
female, which are confined to the
male line, “sex-limited.”

Both microscopic study and
breeding experiments indicate

that in the males an unusual re-
lation exists between the mater-
nal and paternal chromosomes.
This opens up new lines of work
to compare with the condition in
the females and to explain dif-
ferences with other forms.
Many lantern slides were shown
to illustrate this interesting re-
port o fprogress.

(2) The cytological phenom-
ena o fthree species of the rather
primitive fly Sciara were inves-
tigated. The chromosome groups
and the characteristics of the re-
duction process were found to
be essentially the same in all
three species and to differ very
widely from conditions found in
other diptera studied. The fe-
male possesses four pairs of
chromosomes and the male those
four pairs and in addition two
very large chromosomes that are
therefore referred to as ‘‘sex-
limited.” After the last sperma-
togonial division the ten chrom-
osomes apparently do not con-
jugate, but segregate into two
groups with a monopolar spindle-
One group of four is cast off in
a small bud. The other group,
four plus both of the sex-limited
chromosomes, there undergoes
an equatorial division and a sec-
ond bud with five chromosomes
is given off (two sex-limited
chromosomes and three of the
four other chromosomes). One
of the four pairs of chromo-
/somes divides but both daughter
halves remain in the main cell
body. This main cell body then
\transforms directly into a sper-
matozoon, one coming from each
|final spermatogonium, all sperms
bein galike with seven chromo-
somes. The mode of inheritance
of a mutant character was such
as to suggest. that a male re-

PAGE SEVEN

ceives it only from the mother.
While the cytological study of
the female has not been com-
pleted, peculiarities of distribu-
tion are expected to be encount-
ered that supplement those of
male.

Muscular Activity

On July 21, in the fifth of the
series of evening lectures, Dr.
Wallace O. Fenn, professor of
physiology at the University of
Rochester, treated the members
of the laboratory to an interest-
ing discussion of certain phases
of the energetics of muscular
contraction. Dr. Fenn was the
first American student to work
in the laboratory of Professor
A. V. Hill, in University College,
London, and much of his lecture
was devoted to an account of the
work carried out by him in this
laboratory. Using the delicate
metnods for the measurement of
heat devised by Hill, Dr. Fenn
was able to show that the
muscle, following stimulation,
liberated more energy when it
was allowed to shorten than
when shortening was prevented,
and that the muscle is able to
adjust the energy expanded to
the load to be lifted. This was
true even when the load was al-
tered after the muscle had begun
to shorten. Furthermore dur-
ing relaxation a definite libera-
tion of heat takes place which is
proportional to the load to be
lowered. These facts were
brought out by.a number of in-
genious “tricks,” as Dr. Fenn
aptly called them, by means of
which the load on a muscle
could be changed at any time
during the actual process of con-
traction and relaxation.

This week’s tale of adventure
begins fittingly with the seminar
held Monday evening in the old
lecture hall. The Rev. A. M.
Keefe who spoke on “Sargassum,
with Notes on the Sargassum
Sea,’ and completely destroyed
any lurking romantic notions
that any of us may have had of
this “Isle of Lost Ships.” The
aftermath of the seminar con-
sisted of a large pot of mytili,
crackers, and an overwhelming
supply of fudge concocted by the
hand of Fanny Fern Smith,
This feast was prepared in lab,
but by a unanimous vote, it was
decided that the moonlight on
the beach was irresistable; and
that, after all, if one is eating
mytilus for the first time, it’s
better to do it in the dark. So
the Botany Army marched down
to the sea with the commissary
department bringing up the rear.
After the edibles had disap-
peared, we sang all the songs we
knew in all the keys available
and in as mnay parts as could

be wished until someone suggest- |

ed getting back in time for the
morning lecture, and the army
_ demobilized.

:This week’s seminar is ad-
dressed by Dr. Fish of the Fish
Commission, whose subject
“Life on the
Seen from the Arcturus.” The
commissary department shows
signs of continued activity and
all looks well.

Dr. Lewis announces that the
Twelfth Annual Indoor Track
and Field Meet will be held in
the Botany Laboratory on Mon-
day, Aug. 2.

EMBRYOS

Beginning Tuesday Dr. Pack-
ard lectures the embryology class
on fertilization and cell lineage.
Dr. E. E. Just gave a special lec-
ture Friday on fertilization.

This has been a very busy
week in the lab. Dr. Rogers
didn’t seem to mind the heat and
thought we ought to work even
if we did have headaches. Most

of the students are repeating ex- |

periments that were failures
during his reign, but that is all
in the interests of science and
nobody really cares.

Catherine Hinchey entertained
during the week Miss Lydia
Fletcher of Providence, R. I.

Dr. Lindsey and Mr. Matteson |

of Seymour, Ct., visited Cecile

Conklin during the week end. |

TOWN TOPICS

The Falmouth Nursing Ee
ciation will give a fete on Vil-|
lage Green in Falmouth, on)
Thursday, Aug. 5. The follow-|
ing attractions are listed: ma-)|
rine biological exhibition, |
Punch and Judy, fortune tell-|
ing, clown ring throwing, put-|

ting match, Bridgewater band, |;

block dancing, and booths dis-

pensing everything imaginable. |
Lots of fun and a worthy cause |
are the reasons why the Village |
Green will be so popular on}
Thursday evening.

Sir Frederick Whyte, presi-|
dent of the legislative assembly |
in India, 1920-1925, and now a|
summer resident of Woods Hole, |
addressed the sixth annual ses-
sion of the Institute of Politics,
now being held at Williams Coi- |
lege on the general political sit- |
uation in the Orient at the pres-
ent moment. He asserted that
much of the “yellow peril’
propaganda that is being dis-
seminated in this country is
purely mythical and he severely
criticized the attitude taken by
many of the ‘‘critics’” of the sit
uation. His address was deliv- |
ered on July 30.

An afternoon tea party was
given at the Sea Robin for
twelve children on Thursday
afternoon, in. honor of the
Misses Pauline and Sally Crit-
‘tenden of New York.

The annual fair of the Church
Work Association of the Church
of the Messiah was a great suc-
cess. The proceeds from the
fair exceeded those of last year
by a nominal sum.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES|

An Aquarium Curiosity

The usual work on fishes con-
tains very little about the in-
teresting fish, called the sea-
horse.

Typical sea-horses (Hippo-
campus) bear a very close re-
semblance to the knight of the
chessboard rather than to the
popular idea of its likeness to a
horse’s head. In fact by attach-
ing a coiled worm to the base
of a chessboard knight there is
obtained an inanimate imitation
of a sea-horse. The name Hip-
pocampus is derived from the
Greek hippos, horse, and kampe,
worm or caterpillar.

On Monday, August 16, there

if the weather proves favorable.

Investigators will be asked to
sign up for themselves and their

tin board of the laboratory as 1
is necessary to know ahead of
time the number to go on the

Hot coffee will be served at
the picnic, but all investigators
will be asked to bring their own

be taken up on the boat to cover
the cost of clams!)

Known Passenger Boats

Shortly after leaving the dock at Woods Hole, Tuesday
evening, August 3, the Uncatena, bound for points on Marthas
Vineyard, was disabled through the sudden breaking of the
vadius arm of the starboard side-wheel.

The Uncatena was well-filled
with passengers and the for-
ward deck held its capacity of
automobiles when it started out
from Woods Hole. Suddenly a
series of grindings was heard
from the shore and the boat
was observed to be acting in a
strange fashion. Rapidly it
drifted around Juniper Point
and became lost to the view of
those in Woods Hole. The cap-
ta.n of th boat ordered the an-
chor to be lowered.

Coast Guard To Rescue

About this time the Coast
Guard boat, CG 237, appeared
on the scene and made fast by
a line to the bow of the drift-
ing beat. This puny but
powerful rescue boat then put
on all power and gradually got
under way. After it had ar-
cived in Woods Hole Harbor
with its charge well in tow, an-
other Cloast Guard boat came
up and between the two of
them, they eased it into dock,
accompanied by stern com-
mands of the captain of the
Uncatena and the tinkling of
bells on the rescue boats.

‘Two women were the first to
descend the gangplank, the

aside from the superficial re-
semblance of parts, the only
homology that exists is between
the head of the sea-horse and}
the head of a horse. The con-
stricted portion of the sea-horse
does not correspond with the
neck of the horse but with the)
abdomen, the fish having no true,
neck. |

There is a curious modifica-|
tion of the finless tail, which de-|
prives the fish of locomotion, |
however it gives the tail a new
function— prehension —result-
ing from its power to curl in-|
wards and sideways. The tail
is wound around the stem of|
some plant and the body. held!
quite erect. The body is thrust
outward at various angles, the
tail being wound around the)
plant in a double coil. One eye |
will look in one direction and
the other will remain in position |
or roll the opposite way.. This|
demonstrates clearly that thc}
fish can move its eyes independ- |
ently of each other, and in dif-|
ferent directions. Its actions
remind one of a near-sighted
person. |

When it releases itself from |
its support it moves in a vertical |
plane, tail curved inward, the|
dorsal fin undulating like a)
screw propeller, and its pecto-|
rals vibrating in harmony.

The natural food of the sea-
horse consists of small crusta-
cea, such as copepods, sand fleas. |
shrimps and the young of higher |
forms. In aquaria a substitute
has been devised in the form af|
the larvae of the common gnat
or mosquito. The

i}

fish will |
slowly approach its food, peer-|
ing at it and suddenly the ani-|
mal disappears as though sucked |
in. The food must be at rest for
the sea-horse is too slow to get
anything moving.

This popular curiosity can be)
seen in the aquarium of the
Bureau of Fisheries. It is a re-
cent addition, having been ob-|
tained. during the past week
from the New York Aquarium
by Robert A. Goffin, collector of |
the bureau.

The Logger-Head Turtle |

The logger-head turtle, Che’?-|
oniidae, is the large sea-turtle
seen in the Bureau of Fisheries |
pool. This is the fourth year|
that it has been on exhibition. |
Tt was captured in a fishermen ‘|
net in Buzzards Bay directly |
beyond Penzance Point. Each)
winter it is displayed in the City |
Aquarium of Boston and in the
summer it is brought back io}
Woods Hole to be placed in the
open pool. ;

When first caught this turtle|
was approximately one-half its)
present size, then weighing}
about from fifty to sixty pounds. |
Its carapace is covered- with

;evervone

bony plates, the highest portion
in the front and the widest near
the middle.
time the length of the carapace
is three feet and the width at
its widest portion is two feet,
while the weight is over one
hundred pounds.

Little experimentation has
been done on this turtle but it
is known that after entering
water it will swim out to sea
attracted by the darker blue of
the water. It will move away
from transparent and opaque
red orange and green, it moves

toward transparent or opaque)

blue. The young under restrict-
ad environment are found to be
photophilous, responding to a
large area of low illumination
rather than to a small area of
high illumination.

Woods Hole Reminiscences

Dr. Edward Linton gave ati
extremely interesting lecture
last Thursday evening to a de-
lightful audience at the Fisher-
ies. The subject of his talk was
“Reminiscences of Woods Hole,”
and many a chuckle was heard
as he related curious incidents
of his early acquaintances here.
He told of the founding of the
Fisheries, and about the lives cf
men connected with it, as Spen-
cer Baird and Vinal Edwards.

\Dr. E. G. Wilson added a few

remarks and brought out the

jfact that he became affiliated

with the Bureau of Fisheries
four years earlier than the
speaker of the evening. Re-
freshments were served and
spent an enjoyable
evening.

AOZOTORP

In the lectures by Professor
Gary N. Calkins, the discussion
of the derived organization of
protozoa has given place to the
more interesting subject of the
fundamental organization, or the
fundamental vital activities of
living things, as exemplified by
the protozoa. In the laboratory,
the incessant hunting for species
different from those already
found and drawn still continues.
It is both a disappointment and
a source of some satisfaction to
go over a drop of pond-watei,
and when the various forms
come into the field of the micro-
scope, to be able to recognize a
large number of them, even
though they are not available as
additional species, because they
have already been drawn.

The protozoa are just as nerv-
ous as ever, in spite of the usual
doses of such “nerve tonics” as

like the other affairs of the class
it was a big success, as all will
testify who were there. It was
noted that several of the mal
members of the class were ab-
sent, failing to act their part az

talk of penalizing these by hav-
ing them stand treat for the
whole class the first warm aftev-
noon that comes along. Let this
be a warning to the hosts of fu-

Last week Dr. C. L. Liu of the
protezoology class spent several
days with friends in Maine. He
brought back some cultures of
pond water which have been
found to contain some very in-
teresting protozoa.

On Saturday, July 31st, Dr.
|G. N. Calkins gave the last of a
‘series of thirty lectures. The
lecture work is over one week
before the formal closing of the
course due to the fact that Dr.
Calkins sailed for Europe on
Sunday, August 1st.

But on the whole, the labora-

been rather sparse, due to activi- |

Ocean View Hotel at South
Harpwell, Me., as the house was
destroyed by fire at midnight
last Friday. The flames were
visible 20 miles at sea,

The origin of the fire was un-
determined. A fiery cross had
been burning on a nearby hill
shortly before the fire in the
hotel was discovered but wheth-
er sparks from that or from the
hostelry’s kitchen started the
flames, firemen were undecided.

No guest was injured but
practically lost all their possess-
ions.

The hotel which stood on an
eminence, overlooking Casco
bay, formerly was the Lawson
house and for 50 years was one
of the best known in Maine. It
was owned by Eli Perry, Port-
land.

The Ocean View House was
well known to some of our biol-
ogists who frequented the old
ae Laboratory of bygone
days.

IT PRICKS WITHOUT
DISCRIMINATION

It was seriously suggested by
an influential member of the
laboratory community that this
column be christened “The
Drosophila.” The editorial siatf
carefully considered this prc-
posal which seemed especially
appropriate owing to certain
circumstances which can be ap-
preciated better by them than
by most of the readers of the
paner. However. their better
judgment prevailed, and hence
its present name.

A certain prominent botanist
demonstrated his enthusiasm
for dancing at the Club Heuse
on Saturday night by his rapid
and determined entrance

through the doors of the club.|
He turned out to be more un-|

popular than one would suppose.
Although he almost went down
on his knees and presented a
pathetic picture of pensiveness
and persuasiveness, two charm-
ing young ladies absolutely re-
fused to dance with him.

For the benefit of those who
want to know—the new
alarm was selected
its musical quality. It is known
unofficially as the sick cow and
the dying calf.

Dr. Robert Chambers caught
his train with fifteen seconds to
spare on his last trip to North
Truro. Last year’s record
shows that in one case he had
thirty seconds less to spare.

Dr. Patten’s lecture has born
immediate fruit. One of our
ladies could not come to a lec-
ture because, as her friend put
it, she was afflicted with ostra-
codermitus.

The third floor “banana
group” is performing ‘‘Morgan-

Mrs. Calkins and Mrsiivunlap
are organizing a woman's secret
society. The nature of the so-
ciety is veiled in mystery, but
we learn that the qualifications
for membership are startling.

The official representative of
the U. 8. Post Office at Woods
Hole has organized his staff so
that the New York morning

|that, in order to come to a de-
cision in the weighty problem—
| Who Should Give the Lecture on

/Drs. Fenn and Amberson would

i|ter has been decided, not by the|

|to your correspondent’s inter-
view with the victim.

In introducing his lecture on
July 24, Dr. Fenn took the
opportunity to make certain very
igrave charges against his col-
‘league and opponent in the mat-
ter. According to his statement,
there is ample evidence that the
penny employed in the contest
was, like some of the products
of our genetics laboratory, a
two-headed monster. Realizing
the seriousness of such an alle-
gation we made haste to inter-
view Dr. Amberson, but he “had
nothing to say,” further than
that he had been as horribly
shocked by the accusation as we
had. Since then we have been
unable to locate Dr. Fenn, so
that the ultimate outcome of the
allegation is as yet uncertain.

est, this episode has had a pecu-

SCIENTIFIC WORKERS
AND THE MESS

All members of the M. B. L.
rejoice at the very moderate
charge made for food at the
mess, and yet one of the ele-
ments which makes this possi-
ble seems open to criticism. We
refer to the practice of charging |
“outsiders” at the $10.00 per
week rate. At best it can hardly
be called a democratic principle,
and when it is applied to a fel-
low scientist who for one reason
or another is not registered as a
laboratory worker it becomes es-|
pecially unfortunate. Take the
ease of a Harvard physiologist
who with his family visited the
laboratory last week as a guest
of certain members... The op-|
portunity of talking to this
worker was of the greatest value
to a considerable group, aS was
also the opportunity of hearing
a lecture which he was invited
to give before one of the classes.
This guest was charged over
forty per cent. more than the}
rest of us pay, thus in effect he
was asked to contribute toward|
our board.

There is a large group of biol-
ogists who annually visit Woods
Hole for short periods, and, al-
though they do not regularly
work in the laboratory, they
contribute much to the support
of the institution. Many of
these investigators come from
contributing laboratories, are

Dr. Merkel Jacobs, professor of

‘physiology at the University of

Pennsylvania, has been conduct-
ing a course in calculus for the
biologists at the laboratory.
There is no fee of any descrip-
tion connected with the course.
His lectures, whose contents are
of immediate applicability to the
problems of biology, and a mas-
terpiece in clearness and sim-
plicity, are given on Tuesday
and Friday afternoons at quar-
ter of five in the Old Lecture
Hall. Those of us attending,
creatly appreciate the time and
trouble that he is taking to teach
us how to wield a tool which is
becoming increasingly more es-
sential in all fields of biological
investigation.

We are duly grateful to the
eo for assigning us
Room 232 in the Brick Building
for the official headquarters of
The Collecting Net. In so doing
they have given us what we
‘most needed to help us in our
lwork. And the spacious room
satisfies our vanity!

All the business and editorial
work is to be carried on in this
room. New copy, advertise-
ments, etc., however, may be left
in Room 123 if it is more con-

'venient for those concerned.

There are two ways in which

‘the readers of “The Collecting

Net” can help forward its use-

fulness. They are:

(1) Keeping one of the editors
fully informed about the activities
of present and past laboratory
workers. Notes on new arrivals,
departures, marriages, changes in|
position ,etc. are read with inter-
est and appreciated by all.

(2) Making a special point of
purchasing supplies from or in
other ways doing business with, the
firms that take advertising space in
our paper. And when this is done,
inform them that “T saw your ad-
vertisement in “The Collecting Net.”

The evening lecture of July

Dr. William Patten, professor

by the information
had been found in the northwest
corner of Spitzbergen certain
fossil animals, called Ostraco-
terms, in a very wonderful state
of preservation. These fossils,
in Professor Patten’s words,
hold the key to his scientific
problem, the origin of the verte-
brates; hence the expedition to
Spitzbergen.

The first part of the lecture
dealt with the position of the
Ostracoderms “on the great
highway of evolution.” Regard-

fishes; notably, fins and tail.

There now followed an ac-
count of the Hunter’s experi-
ences during his trip from New
York to Oslo and thence to
Spitzbergen. Numerous beauti-
ful Photographs and the lec-
turer’s descriptions made this
the large part of the lecture.
Despite handicaps on one sort or
‘another, the ‘hunt’? was a suc-
cess.

Returning from Spitzbergen,
Dr. Patten visited the State Mu-
'seum at Stockholm where many
|Spitzbergen Ostracoderms are
under investigation by Profes-
sor Stensio. Thanks to Stensio’s
|generosity, Professor Patten
‘had the opportunity to study
‘what are prehaps the most per-
fectly preserved fossils known
to science: blood vessels, cranial
nerve, and other delicate struc-
tures show up with such clear-
Iness that they seem more like
models than fossils millions of
years old. The study of these
priceless specimens led Pro-
fessor Pattern to conclude that
the ‘“‘missing link’ in animal
evolution has at last been found.

Dr. Michaelis Talks on

Semi-Permeable Membrane

On Friday evening, July 30,_
Professor Leonor Michaelis, o
|Johns Hopkins University, lec-
jtured on the subject “The Pro-
;perties of *Certain Artificial
Membranes as a Model for Celik
Membranes.” Dr. Michaelis de-
|scribed the properties of a series
of membranes of different de-
grees of permeability. These
\differences arise from varia-
tions in the size of the channels
or pores through the membrane,
permeability decreasing as the
|pore diameter diminishes. Thus
[thoroughly dried collodion
membranes are much more ef-
|fective than are the more per-
meable and more porous collo-
dion membranes usually used.

Membrane permeability for
jions can readily be studied by
observations upon electrical po-
tential differences arising across
the membrane when it separates
solutions of the same electrolyte
in different concentration, or
equal concentrations of two dif-,
ferent electrolytes. In the first
instance theory demands that, if
the diffusion of one ion be com-
pletely suppressed, an BE. M. F.
of 51 millivolts will be observed
at 20°C when the concentration

ratio is 10:1. This E. M. F. is
produced by the definite orien-
‘tation of anions and cations
across the membrane producing
‘an electrical double layer. The
EK. M. F.’s measured across dried
collodion membranes closely ap-
proximate the theoretical maxi-
mum, values of 50 to 55 milli-
volts being obtained. More per-
meable membrdnes give lower
values. In the dried collodium
membranes the movement o£
anions appears to be almost
completely suppressed; cations
are able to move through the
pores. Across such membranes
there is therefore the possibility
of an interchange of cations
when the membrane separates
solutions of two different elec-
itrolytes; anions are not ex-
changed.

This differential effect upon
the movement of anions and ca-
tions is correlated with the elec-
trical charge upon the mem-
brane. In most membranes, as
in dried collodion, this charge is
almost always negative. Through
such membranes positively
charged cations can move, nega-
‘tively charged anions are re-
tarded or completely stopped.
In protein membranes’. the
charge is determined by the pH.
On ihe alkaline side of the iso-
electvic point the charge is nega-
tive, and cations can penetrate;
aniors are retarded or stopped,
and the E. M. F. observed in the
“concentration effect” sliows the
more dilute solution to be <lec-
tropositive. On the acid side of

THE COLLECTING NET—DRAMATIC SUPPLEMENT

HISTORY OF THE PLAYS

An evening of one-act plays, given
by and for the benefit of the M. B. L.
Social and Tennis Clubs, has become
an institution. They had their pre-
cursors in impromptu vaudeville per-
formances which had been gotten up
sporadically from time immemorial.
The first regular plays were presented
in 1921& ‘‘Suppressed Desires” and
“Behind the Beyond’ formed the
menu in a little theatre improvised
in the Mess Hall. It was there that
Dr. Lyon blossomed out as a com-
edian without a peer.

For the next three years the plays
were given in Community Hall. In
1922 tne program consisted of ‘‘The
Workhouse Ward”, ‘‘The Pot-Boiler’’,
and “The Willow Plate”. The first
mentioned was perhaps the most fin-
ished of all the plays which have yet
been given, with the parts taken by
Mrs, Lowther, Dr, Lanton and Dr.
Lefevre, all accomplished actors, The
scenery for ‘‘The Willow Plate’, de-
signed by Mr. Vignoles was most ar-
tistic,

In 1928 there were presented “‘The
Trysting Place’, “The Birthday of
the Infanta” and ‘Russian Drama as
it Was and Is’. Outstanding were
the acting of Dr. Copeland, as the
half-wit, and the marvelous wind-ma-
chine devised by Dr. Thatcher.

Next came “Bimbo the Pirate” and
“The Wood’s Hole Follies’. The hit
of the evening was a laboratory song
arranged by the Glasers to the tune
of “Mr. Gallagher’, in which Mr.
Gray, Capt. Veeder, and Alfred Hil-
ton appeared on the stage for the
first time.

Last year the plays were given in
the new M. B. L. Auditorium. ‘‘The
Philosopher of Butterbiggens”, “The
Medicine Show”, and “The Raft’,
were presented, with beautiful music
between acts by Nancy Wilson and
Barbara Lull. We can still hear the
wails of Dr. Linton, the Philosopher,
while for atmosphere, none of the
plays has surpassed “The Medicine
Show”. It would be difficult to de-
cide which of the three— Dr. Mc-
Clung, Dr. Lyon, or Dr. Simpson, por-
traying Mississippi River characters,
looked the most disreputable. Per-
haps the prize should be given to Dr.
Lyon, whose costume came in part
from the village dump, and in part
as a result of dragging the pond be-
hind the Lyon’s Den.

The success of the plays has de-
pended as much upon the workers be-
hind the scenes as upon the actors.
A small army is required for direct-
ing, making scenery, costumes and
curtains, arranging lights, handling
advertising, ticket sale, programs,
posters, and ushering. It is doubtful
whether there is to be found any-
where a more willing or efficient
group for such community enter-
prises than in Wood’s Hole. Need
we add that the third essential, an
intelligent and appreciative audience,
can always be counted on in Wood’s
Hole?

THE TENNIS CLUB

_ The M. B. L. Tennis Club had its
simple beginnings more than a quar-
ter of a century ago when Oliver
Strong initiated play on the the level
ground where the Mess Court now
stands, This pre-cultural or Old
Gravel period culminated in 1913,
when the present Mess court was con-
structed with the liberal aid of Ben-
jamin Strong.

As Oliver Strong gradually with-
drew from active play it became evi-
dent that a more formal organization
was needed. In 1917 a committee,

composed of D. J. Edwards, E. R.| carried through by the exertions of

p.an of re-organization which was
put into effect.

As attendance on the Laboratory
grew it was felt that more courts
were needed, and a successful effort
to raise money for this purpose was

the players and the cordial backing
given by summer residents on Pen-
zance and elsewhere in the neighbor-
hood. Three courts were built on
land near the Breakwater Hotel pur-
chased from the Fay Estate in 1922.

There Beach courts lie too low for
good natural drainage, so that the

THE M. B. L. CLUB

The M. B. L. Club was organized in
1914 and received from the Labora-
tory Officials the use of the present
clubhouse to be used as a social
center for those associated with the
M. B. L. and the Fish Commission.
The general expenses are met by
club dues. In 1920, to meet the de-
mand for more space in the Club-
house, the decision to enlarge the
porch at a cost of $1,500.00 required
the raising of money. The enter-
tainment committee agreed that with
only $21 in the trasury, it must de-
vise a plan for ‘“‘getting rich quick’’.
Kapid action followed and within a
month the first M. B. L. production,
modestly called “An Entertainment,”’
was presented to a highly apprecia-
tive audience, and $22 was received
by the club. ‘he necessity of raising
more money and the enthusiastic de-
mand tor another play resulted in a
second production in 1921 even more
successzul than the first.

Encouraged by such success and
by gitts to a spegial Porch Fund the
poren was but and used in 1922,
put only half paid for, Fortunately
an annual play had then become a
tradition and in 1923 over $650 was
realized. ‘Lhis was shared with the
ennis Club which proceeded to build
the present tennis courts near the
pathing beach. 1n subsequent years
the ciub received part of the pro-
ceeds, and up to 1y25, the sum of
1,874.50 haa been turned over for
club uses. ‘Lhe porch was completely
paid tor and the remainder trans-
Yerred to a savings account to be used
tor special improvements for the
Club. One of tinese, the redecorating
of the interior of the Clubhouse, 1s
now in progress. The Club has for
several years borne the expense of
repairing and transporting the bath-
ing rait, and is now sponsoring the
newest venture of the M. B. L. the
publication of ‘The Collecting Net”.
it 1s now suggested that a West porch
be built, and the need is evident after
the last two evening dances. To

excellent surface is usually too moist
for fast play. ‘he balls soon become
discovored and heavy, so that the
greatest problem at present before
the Club is the improvement of these
courts. Experiments are now plan-
ned to determine whether tile drain-
age will suffice to keep them dry, or
whether it will be necessary to build
them up by a liberal use of cinders
with a new surface on top. It is
planned to use for this purpose any
funds that may come to the Club in
the near future.

The Club conducts an annual tour-
nament which brings out keen com-
petition in all events. Cups are pre-
sented to the winners in the singles
matches, and in the mixed doubles
the mames of the winners are in-
scribed on the Strong Cup, a perma-
nent trophy given by William Strong
and kept in the Laboratory offices in
the Brick Building.

The liberal support given the
Tennis Club by the Players’ Club has
been for years one of the strongest
factors in affording good tennis fa-
cilities at a reasonable cost to work-
ers at the Laboratory.

brate course subjected to this
terrific expression.

The invertebrates found out
last week that there are

“worms and worms, yea, and yet |

more worms’”’ to cover the world
for the first foot underground.
The second fact that has been

startling us is the discomfort- |

ing knowledge that Annelid
anatomy may be just as compli-
eated to handle as a one man
row-boat out in the Hole. But
the circulatory system of areni-
cola proved so interesting to two
members of the class that they
actually stayed away from mess
and hash for fifteen minutes to
finish a dissection. (Speaking
of scientific enthusiasm an
denying the flesh.) But our dis-
sections were made in fear and
trembling when Dr. Martin told
us in no uncertain terms that
“This is the first year for a long
time that we have been able to
secure enough arenicola for
everybody—so remember, no one
can have a second helping!” No
_ wonder our hands shook and one
member of the class almost diec
of shock when she discovered
that she had made a ventral in-
stead of a dorsal incision.

But we did take time off from
the nereis pelagica and arenicola
to go to Kettle Cove. That is
we thought we were going toc
Kettle Cove, but. the winds and

Captain Veeder decided that we |

were not going that far; so much
“to the glory of the skipper and
the discomfiture of the inverte-

brates” (for reference see R. C. |

Parker) we were deposited on a
“shoreless coast’ four
from the cove. Then one feeble
member of this cross country ex-
pedition asked Dr. Dawson
plaintively “How far is it?” He
cleverly comforted, as he winked
at Dr. Cole, “Only a mile or so.”
Then, that “so” turned out to be
three solid up and down hill
miles; but it was not biologically

unfruitful, because we succeeded |

in convincing one biologist that
Shropshire sheep could not and
never can be goats.

Then Friday Dr. Bissonnette |

and the fifty-five invertebrates
plunged into the Bryozoa for a
good day’s work. Did you know
that Lepralia boasts key holes
that will never be scratched up
by a fumbling key and Hydroides
sports colors that would reduce

any bathing beach ‘“‘to a panic” |

(see H. McClellan for that ex-
pression). Twelve hours after

we had finished up that job, we|

were setting out in a cool, clam-
my, damp and slightly moist
Woods Hole rain for North Fal-
mouth. We felt like ship-
wrecked mariners holding out
our tongues to catch the precious
rain drops, only our object this
time was to be as microscopic as

miles |

H20 globules as we could. Need-
less to say none of us were re-
markably successful; so that we
were just about as damp as our
own great-grandfather Limulus
when we arrived. But the North
|Falmouth flats proved to be the
most thickly populated fields yet
visited; perfect hordes of scal-
lops, fiddler crabs, clams, ma-
lampas, nassa obseleta, and bit-
|tium were encountered; and this

itime it wasn’t a case of “If I

After four days delving into
the intricacies of Arthropoda
lwe have decided that lobsters as

far too tame a sport for the in-
vertebrates, so we must needs
discover how they go about the
process of mastication instead
‘of performing the same rite on
them. And, when we speak of
Limulus we become so tangled
up in his nerve ring that we
gaze delightedly at the simple
spirals of Busycon. Simple?
Just wait until we have waded
through his nervous system on
Monday and then we may have
an entirely different story to
tell.

Anyone who finds his labora-
tory work interfering with his

other business is reminded that

Ding! Dong! Came the famil-

-when a group of energetic wo-
men, namely, Mrs. J. P. War-'
basse, Mrs. T. H. Morgan, Mrs. |
C. R. Crane, and Mrs. F. Lillie,
had met to consolidate their
earefully wrought plan into an
-active being—that was to have
a2 summer school for the chil-|
dren of the town and the chii-
‘dren of the faculty members,
where, under careful guidance, |
they might spend a few hours
each morning combining play
with work in an educational
way. The school started with
.a fairly large enrollment.
. Science, singing and dancing
were the main subjects taught.
‘with slight stress upon ths
science. That first year there
was also a kindergarten class, a
singing class for parents in the
-evening, and anything desired
‘was taught. A pageant was
held at the end of the year.
Each year the enroilment
-grew, and for the last several)
years it has been approximately |

school has changed too, and is.

association. Parents are re-|
quested to join the association |

_ The botanists last week were
prepared for their weekly cruise |
but their hopes were dashed to
an untimely death when the gal-
lant skipper reported a north-
easter blowing, a sinking barom-
eter, squalls in the offing, a ty-
phoon just behind Pine Island
and a waterspout in the Eel
Pond. The trip was called off
and the lunch bequeathed to the |
zoologists, but Dr. Hazen, fear-
ing the effect of so great a dis-
appointment, gave us a little quiz
to make up for it. Like the Boy
Scouts, he maintains that “Be
Prepared” in his personal opin-
ion is an excellent motto. He)
says that his classes are accus-
tomed to being questioned at any
time, and he feels that they
should be prepared to go colleci-
ing at any time. If you should
see our budding algologists next
week carrying buckets to mess,
or wearing bathing suits to lec-
ture, it doesn’t mean that we’rc)
out “on location” but that we’re
prepared for almost anything.

This week started off with a
collecting tour de luxe aboard
the S. S. Cayadetta to Cutty-
hunk and Black Island. The
trip was a great success with
the buckets and bottles filled,
Helen Brown’s knee sprained,
and several bad cases of sun-
burn reported. Speaking ot
sunburn, the botany department
strongly recommends picric
acid. It soothes, heals, and im-
parts a pleasing canary tint to
the affected parts.

Monday evening, what was
left of the gallant boataneers at-
tended the seminar addressed by
Dr. Fish of the fish commission,
who spoke on “Life in the Open
Ocean as Seen from the Arctur-
us.” Afterwards a very juicy
party was held up in the lab,
consisting of steamed Mytili and
watermelon.

Still,another event, not with-
out marked significance, is the
“coming out” into terpsichorean
circle, of one of our revered
staff. The debut came as a great
surprise to all concerned and
great things are expected.

This week’s seminar will be
on ‘Mosaic Diseases and Leaf
Variegations” with Dr. Fanny
Fern Smith officiating in the
double capacity of lecturer and
lord high purveyor of the fudge.

Treasure Trove

For four weeks we have been
puzzled by a pile of mouldy
pennies lying on Mr. Fogg’s
table, and finally we nerved up
enough courage to ask the why
and wherefor of the accumula-
tion—this is the story.

In 1923, Mr. Fogg, deciding
that investigation was the occu-
pation of the elite at Woods
Hole, decided to test with theory

that money attracts money.
Like the eminent Skeptics Club,

he immediately undertook the
practical solution of his prob-
lem and with the usual gener-
osity shown in these parts, was
given all the scientific apparatus
and equipment that was needed.
In 1923, five or six pennies
were left on a laboratory table
with no explanation. These
pennies have been found gradu-
ally increasing in number until
at the last counting there were
385 of them.
Mr. Fogg as yet has arrived
at no definite conclusion as to
the exact cause of this phenome-
non. It may be the theory that
“like attracts like,” or the origin
may represent that in the life
histories of certain algae where
a single cell may give rise to a
filament and later an expanded
colonial form.
that the second theory was per-
fectly possible although no
quadriciliate zoospores of, the
Casteria type had been found
swarming around the pile. Our
own belief is that the old theory
of spontaneous generation has
peen disposed of too summarily.
We are perfectly willing to
leave this field of investigation
open to anyone interested, and
turn to a consideration of the
disposal of this material. Mr.

Mr. Fogg stated |

WILLIAM J. RING
1839-1926

William J. Ring, aged 87 years,
the third oldest man in Falmouth
and the oldest resident of the village
of Woods Hole, passed away at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. John L.
Condon, Wednesday, August 4, after
an illness of about two weeks. Mr.
Ring had previously enjoyed excel-
lent health, and had lived for some
years with his daughter, Mrs. John
L. (Condon, who is his sole survivor.

He was a veritable source of in-
formation, and enjoyed telling stor-
ies of his early sea faring life, of
Woods Hole in the old days when a
person coming to the village came
either by boat or by stage coach.
Mr. Ring was well educated and
well informed, having been at one
time an accountant, and his travels
had given him a wonderful store of
knowledge.

He was well known and well liked
by the people of Woods Hole most
ot whom had known him since early
childhood.

William Ring was one of the most
intresting characters of Woods Hole.
Time had apparently not dulled his
memory, for in rich brogue betraying
his Irish ancestry, he would recall
the dates and places of events that
took place in his boyhood. Snowy
white whiskers formed a contrasting
border to the ruddy glow of his
cheeks; and behind his thick-lensed
spectacles his eyes twinkled as he
recalled the days’ when he was a
sailor. ey

Mr. Ring was born in Ireland on
May 14, 1839, and when a young
man 1865 went to New York. He
worked in Philadelphia and Boston
for a year and on December 19, 1868,
came to Woods Hole to make his
home. For 20 years he was employed
at the Guano Works on Penzance
Point which is remiembered by the
older inhabitants of Woods Hole.
After giving up this work he was
made foreman on the Woods Hole

district roads, and was active in this
work until only five years ago.

Funeral services were held from
St. Joseph’s Church in Woods Hole
at 9 o’clock on Friday morning. In-
terment was in St. Joseph’s Ceme-
tery in Falmouth.

Investigators Picnic

A picnic for M. B. L. inves-
tigators and their families has
been arranged for August 16th.
The Cayadetta will leave the
wharf opposite the Brick Build-
ing at 10:30 and 11:30 for Tar-
paulin Cove. Return trips will
be made at 3:30 and 4:30.

Those who wish to go on this
picnic should sign up on the
form posted on the bulletin
board of the vestibule of the
Brick Building.

Captain Veeder has offered to

and will have clams and coffee
cooked on board the Cayadetta.
The only expense connected with
the trip will be for the clams, to
cover which expense a collection
will be taken up on the boat.
All are expected to supply their
own sandwiches, watermelon,
lobsters or whatever is desired.
Coffee will be furnished by the

Dr. Jacobs Selected at Meeting

of Trustees to Succeed Dr.
Lillie as Director of M. B. L.

At the meeting of the Trustees of the Marine Biological
Laboratory on Tuesday, August 10, Dr. Frank R. Lillie pre-

sented his resignation as Director of the laboratory.

This posi-

tion has been held continuously by Dr. Lillie since 1908. Under
his able administration the laboratory has become the leading
institution of its kind in the world. His resignation does not
mean his withdrawal from participation in the general affairs
of the laboratory for he remains as president of the corporation;
and the executive committee is to define the respective duties of

president and director.

Dr. Merkel Jacobs has been
associate director for the past
year and was appointed by
the trustees to succeed Dr.
Lillie. Dr. Jacobs is professor
of general physiology at the
University of Pennsylvania and
is the author of extensive papers
in his field. For some time Dr.
Jacobs has been in charge of
the physiology course at the
laboratory.

Lewis Wins Men’s Singles
Miss Field Defeats
Mrs. Holt

Last week witnessed the com-
pletion of all the matches in the
tennis tournament. With the
playing of the finaJs in the wo-
men’s singles on Friday after-
noon, August 6, there came to a
formal close the most interesting
ard successful tennis season In
the aunals of Woods Hole.

The men’s singles event was
won by Dr. Ivey F. Lewis who,
playing his customary steady
and accurate game, defeated Dr.
D. E. Lancefield in straight sets,
6-3; 6-2.

Lewis Triumphs

As has happened so often be-
fore in Woods Hole tennis his-
tory, I. F. Lewis and 1D)5 = BE
Lancefield came together in the
finals of the men’s singles.
Great interest centered in this
match, which was played on the
Mess Court at 4 P. M., Wednes-
day, August 4, and a large and
eager gallery was in attendance.

Lancefield, winning the toss,
chose the court, and Dr. Lewis
took the first game on his own
serve. Lewis then broke thru
Lancefield’s service and, placing
with marvelous accuracy, ran
out the next three games. With
the score 5-0 against him Lance-

Dr. Lewis was also victor in the
mixed doubles. This team de-
feated Dr. and Mrs. Lancefield,
7-5, 6-4, and won the right to
have its name inscribed on the
Strong Cup, the permanent
trophy for this event which is
kept in possession of the Labor-
atory.

Lancefield and Inman won the
men’s doubles by a circuitous
route when they defeated the
Pattens in a semi-final match,
8-6, 7-5, after having previously
won their finals match with
Speidel and Hitchcock by the
score of 6-2, 6-3.

Miss Madeline Field emerged
victorious from a splendid list)
of entries in the women’s singles |
by virtue of a hard-earned win
over Mrs. Holt, the match going
to three sets, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.

Lancefield Loses

The mixed doubles match,
which was played on Monday
afternoon, August 2, drew a
large audience. Lewis and Igle-
hart got away to a good lead in
the first set, but their opponents
soon tied the score and for half
a dozen games it was anybody’s
match. Lancefield seemed both-
ered by the damp court which
slowed down the bounds, but
played a very strong game over-
head. Lewis and Iglehart broke
thru. Mrs. Lancefield’s low-
bounding serve in the eleventh
game, coming to the net to make
sharp placements; the next
game, and with it the set at 7-5,
was their’s on Dr. Lewis’s serve.

The second set produced some
of the finest tennis seen during
the entire tournament. Both
sides made many placement aces,
Miss Iglehart in particular tak-

field steadied and won his own
service. Then there followed a
long deuce game, productive of
many brilliant rallies,
finally went to Lancefield. The
eighth game was Lancefield’s on
service. He was playing care-
fully at this point, hitting deep
to the corners, and against any
but a player of superb stead-
iness would have stemmed the
tide and turned defeat into
victory. Lewis, however, pos-
sessed the necessary margin of
consistency, returning seeming-
ly impossible shots from all cor-
ners of the court, and ran out
the ninth game on his own ser-
vice for the set at 6-3.

Games went with service in
the second set until the fourth
game when Lewis broke thru
and led at 3-1. Lancefield brought
the score to 3-2 with a brilliant
love game and Lewis retalliated
by uncorking the most spectac-
ular placing of the whole match.
He had his opponent constantly
on the run and was finding the
lines and corners with machine-
like precision. The sixth game
was his and Lancefield trailed
at 2-4. Making a determined
stand, Lancefield kept his power-
ful serve on Lewis’s backhand in
the next game. But to no avail
What looked like sure service
aces were returned from difficult
angles for placements and Lance-
field’s returns were finding the
net. The seventh and eighth
games went to Lewis and with
them the set and the match.
Final score: 6-3, 6-2.

Miss Field Wins

The final match in the women’s
singles followed immediately
after the conclusion of the

ing the net at every opportunity
and angling sharply for points.
The issue, as in the first -set,
seemed at no time certain, but
Lewis’s superior steadiness and
uncanny trimming of the-lines
proved the deciding factor, and
the set went to Lewis and Igle-
hart at 6-4.

The names of the winners will
now appear on the cup for the

mixed doubles tournament which|went to Miss Field. Both play-|tack at Inman,

doubles on Friday afternoon.
Miss Madeline Field, the dark
horse of the tournament, met
and defeated Mrs. Holt, the
brilliant stylist, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.
Miss Field won her own and
Mrs. Holt’s serve and led 2-0.
Games then went with service
until 3-1, when Mrs Holt double-
faulted badly and trailed at 1-4.
The sixth, a long deuce game,

which |
| game,

ers were stroking the ball well|more than equal to the occasion,

and many of the rallies seemed
interminable. The next two
yvames followed service and the
set was Miss Field’s at 6-2.

With a lead of 3-2 in the
second set, Mrs. Holt won two
long deuce games. Coming from
behind and playing carefully
Miss Field evened the match at
5 all. Mrs. Holt’s beautiful,
free-swinging backhand and
forehand drives were unerring-
ly accurate now and in the next
two games, and with them the
set at 7-5, were hers.

The third set saw Miss Field
as steady as ever while her op-
ponent, playing with abandon,
made frequent errors. Both
players, altho adhering mainly
to the back court, took the net
often and their fine placing
drew repeated applause from the
large gallery. Breaking thru
for a lead of 3-1 in the fourth
Miss Field was never
again headed by her adversary,
who seemed to tire rapidly, and
altho she dropped another game
the set was easily hers by the
score of 6-2.

Miss Field’s splendid victory
is the more remarkable in that
it was gained over the strongest
set of entries that this event has
seen here in recent years. It is
sincerely hoped that she will re-
turn to grace Woods Hole tennis
courts in the future.

Men’s Doubles

Such a discrepancy crept into
the progress of the two brackets
of this event that it seemed vir-
tually to meet itself coming
back. The lower half moved
rapidly and Speidel and Hitch-
cock found themselves up to the
final round before even the
second round of upper bracket
matches had been completed.
This delay in the upper half was
due to the delayed arrival of Dr.
Newton Harvey who was paired
with William Strong. Lance-
field and Inman were also in this
bracket, and on the chance that
they might come thru it victor-
iously they played a premature
finals match against Speidel and
Buencock, beating them 6-2,

Strong and Harvey finally met

|William and Bradley Patten in

a second round match and lost
to them by the score of 6-4, 6-4.
These two teams were very
evenly matched and the conflict,
which was played at the Strong
court on Penzance Point, was
productive of fast and brilliant
tennis.

This brought the Pattens into
the semi-finals against Lance-
field and Inman. The meeting
between these two teams took
place on the Mess court at 4
o’clock, Friday, August 6, and
despite the damp condition of
the court produced many thrills.
The Pattens directed their at-
who seemed

making many fine returns from
the net. Lancefield played a
strong overhead and serving
game and the combined offen-
sive of this team, aided by a
decided unsteadiness on the part
of the Pattens, enabled them to
pull out a victory after two
hard-fought sets, 8-6, 7-5. The
results, then, completely vindi-
cate the early defeat of Speidel
and Hitchcock at the hands of
Lancefield and Inman, and to the
latter team goes the Men’s
Doubles Championship for 1926.

Miss Jeffers to Lecture

A lecture on “The City of
Rome” will be given Thursday
evening, August 13, at 8 o’clock
in the small lecture room of the
Marine Biological Laboratory,
by Miss Mary Jeffers, of Bryn
Mawr. The admission charge
will be 35 cents.

On Thursday evening, August
19, Miss Jeffers will give her
illustrated lecture on “The
Mediterranean Cruise.” This
is one of the most popular travel
talks and is anticipated with
much pleasure. This -lecture
will be given in the Community
hall for the benefit of the
Church of the Messiah, Woods
Hole.

Miss Jeffers and Dr. Florence
Peebles are spending the sum-
mer at their home, The Lan-
tern, Gardiner Road. They have
recently returned from a lecture
trip to the Pacific coast.

CHEM ROOM REACTIONS

The Chem Crew thinks you’re a
pretty good sort,
But all the same they have their
sport, .
When investigators, sage and wise,
Make such requests that take the
prize.

One great man, absorbed in his work,

Sets up, asks for one rubber cork.

Another, as great, nonchalantly and
placid,

Wants half a pint of pure Osmic
Acid,

While ordering several hundred ce.s

oe een made with Baker’s C.

Ha

From speaking of hundreds, his voice
still resounds. ,

He orders Squibbs Ether, five hun-
dred pounds.

They ask for preposterous dye com-
binations,

For chlorides and sulphates and such
preparations.

But the thing that surpasses all radi-
eal eubing

Is—‘‘A seven-foot length of solid

glass tubing!”

We find odds and ends that not rare-
ly amuse,

Absent mindedly left but intended
to use,

From trick apparatus of the intricate

ype,

And what they came down for, to
Perly’s lost pipe.

Then when we’ve walked down to the
very last rack

And brought the requested shape and
size back, E

And decided the next’ll be a moment
of ease,

Nay—lo! and behold! — it’s — “An-
other one please.”

THE MESS AND
ITS ORGANIZATION

Very few of us know how the
mess grew with the laboratory.
Since the beginning of the M. B.
L. the number of people has
mounted steadily from year to
year. With this increase the
capacity of the mess hall has
been enlarged several times. In
1918 it was necessary to take on
as part of the dining room the
piazzas on both ends of the din-
ing hall. The next increase is
shown by the fact that the old
mess hall, which was burned to
the ground on March 17, 1920
seated only 250 while the pres-
ent mess hall seats 450 people.
The number eating at the mess
in 1920 was less than 250; now
5380 people obtain their food
there.

To better acquaint the diners
with those who prepare their
food we have printed below a

Saturday Night Club
Plays Success

Productions Enthusiastically Received
by Capacity Audience

A very worth while program
of one act plays was presented
to a full and enthusiastic house
on Saturday evening in the M.
B. L. auditorium. This is the
sixth year in which a series of
plays has been given by and for
the benefit of the M. B. L. and
Tennis Olubs. The moving
spirits behind these plays have
been Dr. and Mrs. Clark who
have been unsparing in their
time and efforts to provide plays
and casts to satisfy all appetites.
When one considers the short
period of rehearsal, often but
a few days and never more than
two weeks, one is impressed by
the efficient co-operation of
groups producing the plays.
The directing committee con-
sisting of Dr. Keefe, Mrs.
Glaser, and Mrs. Clark deliber-
ately chose a contrasting pro-
gram of high and low brow
plays so that all tastes would be
satisfied. It is not an easy
matter to strike a happy medium
but it is the general opinion that
in this occasion it has been done.
Long intermission for shifting
scenery, the bugbear of most
amateur theatricals were clever-
ly avoided by providing the same
setting for all plays, the only
variable parts being in the im-
mediate center stage and the
furniture.

The first play, “The Robbery”’’,
like most of Clare Kummer’s
plays is full of light humor and
philosophizing. The cast was
well chosen and the parts were
played with remarkable finish
considering the short period of
rehearsal. Dr. McClung was the
outstanding actor and after a
few more annual appearances
should qualify for the legiti-
mate stage. The background of
this play deserves mention for
its effective simplicity.

The French folk songs drama-
tized by the children were the
most artistic plays on the pro-
gram in the opinion of many.
They were like quaint pictures
out of a French nursery song
book. In “Au Clair de la Lune”,
Peggy Clark as Mon Ami, Pier-
rot, showed her natural histri-
onic powers to advantage while
Vicky Glaser at the window was
aided by nature in representing
a toothless, irate Pierre. Shed-
ding one’s front teeth at seven
has some advantages. The scene
shifters were an important part
of the picture in their blue
smocks as they brought in the
quaint blue door with a window
with red curtains above, white

picket fences and gay flowers.
Incidentally these two, R. C. Mc-
Gann, and L. P. Rowell made the
scenery themselves which they
manipulated with such effect. A
program of such little scenes
would make a delightful evening
for young and old.

Frere Jacques, a roundel, en-
acted by a group of children
with Peggy as Frére Jacques,
was spontaneous and delightful
to which the audience responded
in chorus. These song plays
were of true artistic merit and
we hope we will hear more of
them.

The melodrama, “The Drums
of Oude” by Austin Strong was
full of suspense and mystery and
the atmosphere was well sus-
tained throughout. The two lead-
ing parts gave an opportunity
for finished acting, and the parts
were ably portrayed by Miss
Brannon and Dr. Mitchell. The
background of an Indian city
was colorfully painted in relief
by Mr. A. Hutton Vignoles. Mr.
and Mrs. Vignoles gave gener-
ously of their holiday in Woods
Hole to make this play a success.
In fact, the success of the entire
program depended largely on
the willing and efficient group
of helpers of whom there were
over 100 including casts and
committees. Special thanks is
due to Mr. Larkin for his able
assistance.

Between the acts following
the melodrama Miss Katherine
Tyler gave a splendid rendering
of a Symphonic Etlude by Schu-
mann. Unfortunately pianos do
not take kindly to sea air and
it was a gracious act for any
musician to play on this partic-
ular one.

Passing from the sublime to
the ridiculous the vaudeville skit
entitled “The Courtship of Miles
Standish”, while well perform-
ed, seemed out of place to some.
A large part of the audience
consisted of students who gave
the last two plays, “The Court-
ship of Miles Standish” and
“The Same Old Thing” which
were rather of the college type
of burlesque, a most enthusiastic
reception. It was the purpose
of the committee to end up the
program with plays of lighter
vein after the really worth
while Indian play. This fact
explained the drop in the pro-
gram and apparent discrepancy
in type of plays presented.

The last play, “The Same Old
Thing’, a farce by Roi Cooper
McGrue seemed to get the

PAGE THREE

|greatest reaction from the audi-
ence. There were some, how-
ever, to whom the play seemed
uninteresting, and scarcely
worthy of the costume of the
leading lady!

The plays had a most appreci-
ative audience and we think the
committee is to be congratulated
on the choice of plays some one
of which was bound to satisfy.
We believe some of the “high
brows” who perhaps suffer from
a strong artistic sense would
have regarded the program if
ending after the fourth play as
better balanced and more fin-
ished. Of the many good pro-
grame which have been given
this program was undoubtedly
the best. D. M.

Restrictions

Probably no institution exists
where research can be carried
out with as much freedom as at
this laboratory. Red tape and
petty regulations are almost un-
known here, and our work is un-
hampered by | restrictions of
doubtful wisdom.

We have always taken pride
jn this sense of informality and
freedom. We view, therefore,
with apprehension the recent
practise of the locking of the
balance rooms. Even the under-
graduates of our colleges and
universities are allowed to use
balances of this character with
out supervision. And it is almost
adding insult to injury to read
the notice posted on the balance
room doors and learn that for
more sensitive balances the Cus-
todian of Apparatus must be
consulted.

But even aside from belittling
our intelligence and training it
is a great inconvenience. The
key to the balance rooms, so the
notice informs us, may be ob-
tained in a nearby room. But
what if the Custodian of the
Key is absent? Many investi-
gators carry on work at night,
and therefore may need to weigh
material after the Custodian of
the Key has retired. If it is
necessary to lock the balance
room doors, might not some pro-
vision be made so that experi-
ments could be carried out in
the absence of the Custodian of
the Key?

The fact that to some it seems
necessary to guard the balances
under lock and key reflects per-

haps upon those who have been|

using the equipment in question.
It is unfortunate that this is the
case, but it seems scarcely nec-
essary to impose restrictions at
the expense of the convenience
of the experienced investigator.

A large proportion of the in-
vestigators leave their rooms un-

locked day and _ night _even
though they contain miscro-
scopes and other equipment

whose value totals perhaps a
thousand dollars in some cases.

|it seems strange that the labor-

atory must so carefully guard
equipment costing only fifty or
a hundred dollars when indivi-
dual investigators leave more
delicate and expensive apparatus
in rooms of which even the doors
are often left open.

The Evening Lectures

We learn with interest that
the trustees of the laboratory
plan to take under consideration
the question of the publication
of the evening lectures delivered
at the Marine Biological Labora-
tory.

The laboratory undertook at
one time to publish, bind and sell
these volumes at a nominal sum,
but owing to financial difficulties
this arrangement was discontin-
ued in 1921. This is a loss to
science and to the Marine Bio-
Icgical Laboratory. The lectures
are a fairly complete ntrror of
the work carried out at the lab-
oratory, and would eventually
form a valuable historical series
on the progress of research
the biological sciences.

leading prick of this week;
but, alas, it has been censored
by individuals older and wiser

than they. A member of the
“banana group’, however, was
concerned; and should he wish
to be privately pricked he may
come personally, (or send a
representative) to room 211
and see what was not fortunate
enough to be classified among
“the survival of the fittest.”

The fee for the license is $5.00.
The balance on which the test is
taken must be furnished by the

The Cath of Pondocrztes

I swear by Galileo, the physicist,
by Newton and by Einstein, and all
the chemists and physicists that, ac-
cording to my ability and judgement,
I will keep this oath and stipulation:
to reckon him who taught me weigh:
ing equally dear to me as my parents;
to share my substance with him who
permits me the use of a balance, and
relieve his necessities if required; to
regard his balances as on the same
footing with my own equipment, and
to teach them this art if they should
wish to learn it, without fee or
stipulation, and that by percept,
lecture and every other mode of in-
struction, I will impart a knowledge
of the art to my sons, and to those
of my teachers and to disciples

The foilowing oath is'

bound by a stipulation and oath, ac-
cording to the law of the Custodian,
but. to. none others.

I will follow that method of treat-
ment which according to my ability
and judgment I consider for the bene-
fit of my balances, and abstain from
whaiever is deleterious and mischie-
vous. I will weigh no deadly poison
for anyone if asked, nor suggest any
|sueh counsel, furthermore, I will not
|give to a novice an instrument to as-
|ecertain a weight.

With purity and holiness I will pass

Tt is of interest to note that one
of the founders of the Academy
was Louis Agassiz, who was the
founder of the Anderson School
of Natural History on Penikese
island, and thus the foerunner
of the Woods Hole Laboratory.
The Academy was organized
during the Civil War, with two
;stated objects; to afford recog-
jnition to men of science having
done work of great importance,
and, especially, to aid the gov-
ernment in the solution of scien-
tific problems having a pratical
bearing on the conduct of the
|public business. The first meet-
ing was held in the chapel of |

the University of New York, on
April twenty second, 1863, with
a membership of fifty. It was
at once afforded the public and
governmental recognition it still
holds. A recent development is
the awarding and administra-
ticn of fellowships supported by
the Rockefeller Foundation and
other grants, through its sub-
sidiary, the National Research
Council.

FOREIGN BOTANISTS HERE

Professor B. Nemec, plant
physiologist, with Professor
Domin, botanist, and Madam
Domin of Charles University,
Prague, Czechoslovakia, have
been visiting our laboratory this
past week-end on their way to
the International Botanical Con-
gress at Ithaca.

Professor Nemec has long
been well known for his experi-
mental cytological investiga-
tions, and has been recently en-
gaged in a study of symbiotic
bacteria in plant cells.

Professor and Madam Domin
are extensive travellers and ex-
pect to visit the West Indies
this Fall to continue their in-
vestigations on ecological pro-
blems.

IN RUSSIA

“The Collecting Net”, hunting
more for human beings than for
fish,—happened to catch recent-
ly at the M. B. L. Club a rather
rare and interesting personage,
Dr. N. Borodin, former profes-
sor at Petrograd Agricultural
College, connected at the present
time with Brooklyn Museum.
He came here to collect some
material for the Museum as well
as for his studies on the rate
of growth of fishes. We asked
him about the biological studies
in Russia at the present time and
received the following short and
general information.

With the improvement of gen-
eral living conditions in regard
to food and lodging, the scienti-
fic studies in Russia gradually
resume their former trend, and
there appear many new young
biologists, disciples of pre-war
professors, though the number of
biologists is still far from
sufficient to fill all positions
on the scientific staffs of the
Universities. Research work is
carried on much better in the
institutions which are not cou-
nected with teaching in the Uni-
versities, because these institu-
tions are free from the rather
offending control of the aggres-
sive representatives of the So-
viet Government, which puts
its heavy hand on the education
of the country in general. These
representatives try not only to
control the finances of the uni-
versities and colleges, but also
to intrude into the policy, plans
of teaching, etc., which cause
great trouble in the normal
academic life, and very often
causes the feelings of the educa-
tors to become quite insuppor-
table. Only those who have
succeeded in “accommodating
themselves to the environments”
or in “acquiring a protective
coloration” feel satisfied; all
others suffer morally, more or
less....Moreover, there is a
severe and imbecile censure of
all publications not excluding
the scientific ones. To illustrate:
One farsighted Soviet censor in-
sisted that the word ‘“petro-
graphy” must be substituted
by “Leninegraphy”, because
Petrograd is named Leningrad.

Among the scientific institu-
tions in which research work
is carried on more or less nor-
mally the following must be
mentioned: Institute of Experi-
mental Biology at Moscow, Dr.
N. K. Koltzoff, Director, Peter-
hof Institute of Natural Sciences
near Leningrad, Prof. K. Deru-
gin, Director, Wolga Biological
Station, Saratov, A. N. Behning,
Director, Biological Station at

Sebastopal, Crimea. Besides
these there are three ichthyo-
logical laboratories at Astrak-
han, Baku, and Kerch, which are
making investigations in applied
biology and ichthyology.

All of those stations exclusive
of two (at Peterhof and Kerch)
existed before the war and
revolution. ‘The Moscow In-
stitute publishes the “Journal of
Experimental Biology”; The
Peterhof Institute — “Travaux
de |’ Institut des sciences natu-
relles de Peterhof”’. The Wolga
Hydrobiological Station pub-
lishes ‘“‘Arbeiten der Biologis-
chen Wolga Station”, and “Rus-
sian Hydrobiological Journal’;
Astrakhan, Baku and Kerch
Ichthyological laboratories pub-
lish “Annual Reports”.

Persons further interested in
the problems studied by the
said stations may look up the
named publications which are
to be found among the serials
received by the M. B. L. library.
Although they are published in
Russian, the contents and the
summaries of papers are always
given in English and German.

Being asked about the life
and work at Woods Hole, Dr.
Borodin expressed his admira-
tion of the unique possibilities
for biological investigation pre-
sented by the M. B. L. in its
present state, and its rare ac-
commodations for the work. He
showed also a special interest in
the energetic life of students and
young investigators in biology
who come here from different
states and countries.

Dr. Borodin, besides his
scientific books and papers, is
the author of a book on the
“United States and Russia” and
is particularly interested in
American life and in education
in general.

JELLY FISH

The invertebrates have wrig-
gled away but this is the last
little flagellum floating back-
ward to show that we have been
here. And, honestly, we are
afraid that the trail of our pro-
gress is indelibly impressed on
the M. B. L. and especially upon
a certain long-suffering labora-
tory which will be just a little
worse and more battered after
our struggle with the intricacies
of the anatomy of Busycon.
What an animal! Half the in-
vertebrates were reduced to,
well, we won’t call it profanity
because we absolutely cannot,
will not draw in three planes of
space.

Evolutionary adaptation cer-
tainly played havoe with the
artistic temperament of the class
that day. But just before we
finished the dissection, when de-
termination had reduced our
jaws to rugged warning, we took
time off and had our picture)
taken. Twenty years hence, em-
bryo scientists at Woods Hole
will gaze at that picture with
awe and envy and the present
invertebrates with hoary beards
will shake their heads and sigh
reprovingly, “This present gen-
eration of invertebrates !—now
when I took the invertebrate
course—”. But now the only
thing we can think of is, “It’s
all over’, plus an _ explosive
“darn” or something stronger.

So just to have a grand and
glorious good time together be-
fore August 9 rolled around the
whole invertebrate “gang” went
to Tarpaulin Cove for the one
and only picnic. We refuse to
say we had a “grand and glor-
ious time’, that would be put-
ting it mildly and if we raved
with the degree of enthusiasm
we feel, such charming phrases
as “gush”, “trash’, et cetera
would float by night upon the
fogs of Woods Hole. Do you
want to know what we did?—
well, just try and find out what
we did not do. Dr. Dawson is
getting just a little too versa-
tile, Woods Hole. We are afraid
he will have to find larger hunt-
ing grounds or enter Major
League baseball. Baseball as
the invertebrates play it is an
experience never to be forgot-
ten—mixed teams, good players,
bad players, reverse batting,
underhand pitching, and a field
that would have made splendid
sled riding in January. And
with such a weight of hard caps,
the swarthy team, headed by
Dr. Dawson, walked off the field
“with one broad grin. And, then
‘we ate, and Napoleon’s army had
nothing on the invertebrates
when it came to “travelling on
their stomachs”. The food that
‘disappeared down fifty-five well
developed oesophagi was start-
ling in the extreme. Time out!

Have you ever heard the
latest use of chewing gum? The
invertebrates have discovered
that if you chew gum two
minutes furiously, out of it you
can model anything in five min-
utes from a typewriter to a cir-
cumoesophageal ring. But the
interest in art soon waned, so
the track aspirants tried their
iuck at the charming pastime of
three-legged races.

Then for about an hour the in-
vertebrates were changed to
vertebrates of fish-like locomo-
tion for the swimming races.
Prizes were awarded for men’s
and women’s free for all, mixed
back stroke race, cake carrying
contest, in which the staff was
pitted against the student repre.
sentatives.

But what we want to know is,
why does everything have to end
so soon. Captain Veeder and
Jack simply imsisted that all the
invertebrates get back in time
for Mess even though half of us
had food all over our exteriors
as Well as the interior—(that is,

jhave you ever tried blueberry

pie in a pie eating contest?).
And then it was all over,—
the invertebrates are no more!

The Torpedo Ray

F., Lynch, Ruth,

For ages the torpedo has been
known to possess all the proper-
ties that we now associate with
it. Today as in the past it
carries terror and wonder to
the layman. Its reputation is
so extreme that it has been the
nature of many episodes.

The organ by which the tor-
pedo produces this charge of
electricity is analogous to that
of the Leyden jar. These elec-
tric organs are large flat uni-
form bodies, lying on each side
of the head. They consist of
hexagonal prisms in contact with
the integuments above and be-
low. Each of the prisms is
divided into tranverse compart-
ments filled with clear, jelly-
like fluid and lined by an epi-
thelium of nucleated corpuscles.
Between the epithelium and the
compartments are the nerve
ramifications. Each organ re-
ceives one branch of the Tri-
geminal nerve and four branches
of the Vagus. The magnitude
and the number of the nerves
bestowed on these organs in
proportion to their size are very
extraordinary. Nerves are given
to parts, either for sensation or
action.

The fish gives the electric
shock voluntarily, when it is ex-
cited to do so in self-defence or
intends to stun or kill its prey.
However to receive the shock
the object must complete the
galvanic circuit at two distinct
points, either directly or through
the medium of some conducting
body. A painful sensation may
be produced by a discharge con-
veyed through the medium of a
stream of water. The electric
currents created in these fishes
possess all known powers of
lectricity, they render the needle
magnetic, decompose chemical
compounds, emit a spark, light
an electric bulb.

When the torpedo is weakened
or near expiring it ceases to
communicate the electric shock.
After successive transmissions
it must rest before it is able to
produce another shock. It will
sometimes allow itself to be
touched, this is a voluntary act.
With each effort of the animal
to give a shock there is an ac-
companying depression of the
eyes and a great degree of bodily
quietness.

These rays are very common
in the vicinity of Gay Head
Light being brought back on
every trip of the Phalarope for
exhibition at the aquarium of
the Bureau and for experimen-
tal purposes.

ALGAE

Last week the botanists cele-
brated as usual with a Monday
night seminar. As the poster
in lab predicted, the Botany
Department of Woods Hole
Marine Biological Laboratory
presented Miss Fanny Fern
Smith (herself) in Mosaic Dis-
eases and Leaf Variagations.
After the lecture the class ad-
journed to lab and engaged in
the Annual Indoor Track and
Field Meet. The events were
exciting and _ hotly contested.
The first of these was the 30-
inch dash, a feat of great skill
and daring. The “thirty inch”
refers to the length of a piece of
string to which is tied a marsh-
mallow, and the point of the con-
test is to obtain the marsh-
mallow which is swinging at
the other ead of the string by
suction or any other means ex-
cept anchoring the string be-
tween two incisors and using
the tongue as a spool. This was
won by Helen Brown with Fanny
Fern Smith running a close
second. The second event was
the Six Oar Race in which the
water consuming ability of the
botany department was demon-
strated to be phenomenal. The
third event was a relay in which
eligibility was limited to the
ability to whistle under ordin-
ary circumstances. The physica
and mental strain in this contest
was tremendous, and the exer-
tion required in whistling, then
eating a gigantic milk cracker,
saying “six, thick, thistle sticks”,
and whistling again, resulted,
in several cases, in a sort of
hysterical exhaustion. The
fourth event was a boxing match
in which the New York pugi-
lists (of the weaker sex) de-
feated the All New England
challengers and broke all pre-
vious records. (That was all the
breakage recorded). The last
event was a spelling bee in
which Father Keefe triumphed,
although the whole crowd gave
out on “manoeuvered”. When

all the fudge had been consumed, |

the last seminar of the season
broke up.

Friday’s trip to Gay Head
was sufficient consolation for the
absence of a Botany Pienic. The
collecting was exciting. It al-
ways adds zest to collecting if
there is surf and to have to
sneak up behind the breakers
and grab, and then when you
have a basket full of algae to
have a wave sneak up on you!
It has always seemed particular-
ly tragic to us that there is no

instrument to reeord the sur- |

prised expression assumed by a
botanist when he finds himself
sitting down where he never ex-
pected to sit, and his hoard of
algae floating back to its native
habitat. Besides the surf, how-
ever, there was the additional

proxy duly executed.

attraction of the Gay Head clay
and lobster sandwiches. But

since no botany trip can be con-
sidered complete without some
truly spectacular occurrence, the
climax was afforded when Grace
Griffin dived off the Cayadetta
and found she couldn’t get back.
Dr. Taylor immediately hopped
out of his shoes and off the deck
with a mighty splash, not even
taking time to take off his
glasses. It was very dramatic
while it lasted, but it didn’t last
long, because a skiff had to be
launched to pull them both in.
Nevertheless it was an original
touch, and originality is our
aim.

Professor Gorokhoff and his
family are spending the summer
on Millfield street. Dr. Goro-
khoff is professor of music ai
Smith College. Before taking
this position he was leader of
a choir in New York City.

Dr. C. L. Parmenter, assistant
professor of zoology and Miss
Hazeltine Stedman, instructor
in zoology at Mount Holyoke
College, were married on Mon-
day, August 2.

Dr. Safford of the Depart-
ment of Public Health of Boston,
has taken what was once Vinal
Edwards’ barn for the summer.
Dr. Edwards used the top floor
until his death three years ago
as a museum. The house is lo-
cated on Quissett Avenue, oppo-
site Millfield Street.

Dr. Leon Augustus Hausman
and his wife arrived in Woods
Hole Sunday for a few days stay.
Dr. Hausman is Associate Pro-
fessor of Zoology at

\for his research on mammalian

hairs.

TOWN TOPICS

Listen, everybody! On Tues-
day, August 24th in the Com-
munity Hall, Woods Hole, the
annual fair of St. Josephs
Church will be held. Cake,
candy and fancy work tables will
be on sale. Dancing in the
evening, will furnish a good

time until midnight. On August 9

25th the same affair will be re-
peated in Falmouth. Come one
and all. The celebration begins
at three o’clock in the afternoon.

Miss Mary E. Wood, librar-
ian of the Boone Library, Cen-
tral China University, Wuchang,
China, will give a talk on the
training of librarians in China,
and on the new movement for
establishing libraries in the
Chinese Empire. The affair will
be held at the home of Mrs. W.
M. Crane on Thursday after-
noon, August 26th. All those
interested are cordially invited
to attend.

A delightful musical was held
at the home of Mrs. M.
Crane on Sunday afternoon,
August 15th. ‘A program of
select music was rendered by
Miss Ilse Huebner, pianist, and
Miss Nancy Wilson, cellist.
Those present were much en-
thused by the inspiring music
and everyone spent an enjoyable
afternoon.

Tf there is any inhabitant of
Woods Hole who should hold
his head very high it is Mr.
Franklin L. Gifford, who has
had his picture in the papers
twice this month; once in the
New York Times, and once in
the Boston Post, as “The Artist
of Woods Hole’. However, Mr.
Gifford is serenely unconscious
of his fame, and paints on un-
disturbed. Most of his paint-
ings are of marine type, with
that fascinating twang of the
sea worked in with every stroke
of the brush, as only those who
are well acquainted with the sea
and its life are able to express.
- Woods Hole has every reason to
be proud of Mr. Gifford!

TESTS COLORFUL

Isabel Morgan Stars in Water
Sports August 9—Canoe Tip-
ping Furnishes Thrills.

The annual Water Sports
Festivities of Woods Hole were
held on the Cayadetta Wharf
on Monday afternoon, August
In more or less full view of
an eager and numerous throng
of spectators who lined the
shore, swimmers, divers and
paddlers of both sexes, old and
young, made merry.

Miss Isabel Morgan was the
outstanding star of the occasion,
winning first place in three
events, helping win the Girls’
Relay, and coming out victorious
in the Canoe Tilt.

As has always been the case
in the history of Water Sports
at Woods Hole in recent years
the success of the event was
due in large measure to the
patronage of Mrs. J. P. War-
basse. Sponsored by her, these
festivities have become an an-
nual feature looked forward to
by many.

The various events were ably
handled by Mr. Allen, a visitor
at the Warbasse residence, and
were announced by Mr. Hugh
Montgomery. Contestants were
summoned to the end of the pier
and given instructions well in
advance of their event so that
the contest was attended by the
minimum delay.

Absorption of Ions

The evening lecture of August
6, “Absorption of Kations and
Anions by Plant Roots”, was
given by Dr. Howard S. Reed
of the Graduate School of Trop-
ical. Agriculture, located at the
Citrus Experiment Station,
Riverside, California. The ex-

periments which have been done};

under his direction have been
designed to study the absorp-
tion of different elements in the
soil. The methods used were
similar to those used in stand-
ard balanced culture solution
studies with the exception that
the plants were grown so as to
permit observation over an ex-
tended period of time. Orange
trees were grown in large metal
containers for several years in
order to simulate orchard con-
ditions. The effect of the
anions and kations of nutrient
salts was determined upon the
basis of dry weight increase.
At present the experimenters
are attempting to determine the
effect upon the plants of traces
of various rare elements when
they are added to the standard

culture solution.

Deposition by Marine Algae

“Reef Building and Land
Forming Plants”, was the sub-
ject of an illustrated lecture
delivered by Dr. Marshall Avery
Howe, of the New York Botan-
ical Gardens, in the Auditorium
on Tuesday evening, August 3.

Dr. Howe spoke first of the
different organisms which play
a part in the formation of land
and pointed out that, contrary
to common belief, the corals are
by no means always the most
important of these. In fact, a
recent survey of a _ so-called
“coral reef” resulted in the plac-
ing of the corals as fourth in the
order of their effectiveness as
agents in building up land, first
and second rank being held by
marine algae.

Of the minute algal organisms
which aid in deposition the
Diatoms are by far the most
significant. These forms, which
are possessed of a siliceous
skeleton, exist in the plankton
in countless numbers and dia-
tomaceous earth, often many
feet deep, occurs at several well
known localities. Many of these
deposits are found in the tem-
perate regions and on land areas
which have undergone consider-
able uplift in past geologic time.

The larger marine algae
which are important as land
formers, belong chiefly to the
great groups Chlorophyceae and
Rhodophyceae. The former con-
tains, in the order Siphonales,
such genera as Halimeda, Udo-
tea, and Penicillus, all of which
are lime-encrusting forms and
occur conspicuously in the
warmer waters of the tropics.
The presence of these plants on
the beaches of southern Florida
and Jamaica, for example, where
their limy skeletons contribute

to the gradual upbuilding of the
positive land element, must be
regarded as of prime impor-
tance.

(Continued on Page 2)

BOTANISTS LECTURE

(Continued from page 1)

Among the Rhodophyceae, al-
so, are to be found a great num-
ber of lime-encrustnig genera,
such as Lithothamnion, Litho-
phyllum and Goniolithon, which
form flat, calcareous encrusta-
tions, and Galaxaura and Coral-
lina, which are branched types.
Earlier, when little was known
about the life histories of these
organisms, many of them were
regarded as corals and were
called Nullipores. It is known
now that these lime-secreting
red algae, which exist chiefly in
the warmer tropic and_ sub-
tropic waters are important
agents in the extension of the
land areas. Many of them are
exceedingly beautiful in habit
and bear a superficial resem-
blance to the true corals.

In addition to the marine
forms there are certain micro-
scopic algae belonging to the
Myxophyceae which occur in
hot springs, such as those in
portions of the western United
States, and may be materially
concerned in altering land sur-
faces.

In concluding the lecturer
dwelt upon the importance of
algae as fossil deposits. Many
fossils, formerly supposed to be
of animal origin, have since
been shown to possess a micros-
eopic structure identical with
that of some of the modern
corallines. Others, in cross
section, show the vegetative and
reproductive features of a type
like Lithothamnion.

It is altogether possible that
some of the most puzzling pre-
Cambrian deposits may be di-
rectly attributed to the products
of plant metabolism. J. mM. F.

Dr. Fish Lectures

“Biology Students in British
Guiana” was the subject of an
interesting illustrated talk given
by Dr. H. D. Fish, professor of
zoology at the University of
Pittsburgh last Friday. The
next issue of the Collecting Net
will contain an account of his
lecture.

QUADRANT ELECTRO-
METER MISSING

A quadrant electrometcr has
disappeared from the confines
of the Laboratory and an ex-
haustive search this summer has
failed to reveal any traces as to
its whereabouts. It was prob-
ably lost in 1924 when the
Rockefeller Building was moved
from the edge of the Eel Pond
to its present site. :

The instrument is worth well
over two hundred dollars and
Dr. Hitchcock, its owner, will be
grateful for any information
concerning this valuable piece of
apparatus.

THE COLLECTING NET

The Woods

The second number of the
Woods Hole Index, published by
the Dolphin Press of Woods
Hole, under the editorship of
Dr. Elizabeth Dunn, has been
released under date of August
first.

The leading article is by Dr.
E. V. Cowdry, of the Rocke-
feller Institute and the Marine
Biological Laboratory, strongly
advocating the increased use of
canoes in this vicinity by those

physically and mentally compe- |

tent. The article is obviously
based on extensive experience,
and is replete with excellent ad-
vice and sagacious warnings,
even against those snares of
canoeing into which the author

himself is reputed to have fall-|

en! Trips are outlined, types of
canoes considered, and even the
most advantageous position for
the paddler (while paddling!) is
described. It is quite refresh-
ing and even mildly amazing
that one who professionally con-
siders sagaciously the innermost
structure of cells should commit
himself so irrevocably to arti-
cles showing that the opportun-
ity for work has been only one
of the attractions of Woods
Hole! ’

Charles J. Fish has written,
from a somewhat economic
viewpoint, concerning the inves-
tigations of the New England
Fisheries. Infant mortality
among baby cod, reaching the
astounding height of 5,999,998
deaths from every six million
eggs; the reason for the high
concentration of cod in Massa-
chusetts Bay, and the possibili-
ties of such institutions as the
Mess completely exterminating
the food fish of these regions
are all considered.

A feature of interest to the
more serious is a bibliography
of scientific papers dealing with
the Woods Hole area. For the
most part they concern marine
fauna, but some are botanical.
For the more cultured there is
a poem by Eleanor Addison en-

titled “Falmouth to Woods
Hole.” One might suspect the
conditions epitomized existed

only before the days of Mr.
Nickerson’s busses, and _ the
schools of flivvers presumably
spawning on the banks of the
Eel Pond. Marie Poland Fish
has described the habits of sev-
eral types of tropical fish occa-
sionally seen in these waters.
The sail boat entnusiast receives
anonymous approbation from
“F. E. K.” in an article which,
while interesting, rather fails to
tell us anything not of general
knowledge.

Book Shop to Close

torial tells us that the Book

Woods Hole is to be closed after
It has been a
unique landmark, and its loss
will be felt not only by those
who have purchased an occa-
sional volume or sailing chart,
but also by those of us who have
considered it as typifying the
erudition of our community.
The Index we believe to have
a most interesting and useful
field in acquainting us with the
possibilities of enjoyment and
acquisition of knowledge of nat-
ural history, and eagerly hope
that the vast fund of accumu-
lated experiences of the older
habitues of the Hole will become

LIBRARY NOTES

The Library Report presented
by the Librarian, Mrs. Priscilla
B. Montgomery, to the Trustees
at their Annual Meeting con-
tained items of interest and im-
portance to the laboratory,
particularly those in investiga-
tive work.

Since last summer seventy
five periodicals have been added
to our subscription list, raising
the number of those currently
received to over five hundred.
In addition to these there are
about three hundred sets of
journals which have suspended
publication, more or less com-
plete. The number of bound
journals exceeds twelve thous-
and.

The librarian is eager to
know of new journals appearing
and to receive suggestions as to
the purchase of sets of period-
icals not at present in our lib-
rary, and useful in biological
research.

Another item of importance
concerned the ‘new book cor-
ner”. A majority of the books
in this collection are furnished
by the publishers to the library
without charge as an advertis-
ing measure. In order to con-
vince other publishers that this
donation is profitable the libra-
rian asks that each person pur-
chasing a book himself, or re-
commending the purchase of-a
book after becoming acquainted
with it through this means
leave a record of the fact on the
bulletin board on the stack.
Suggestion as to new books de-
sirable to add to this collection
will also be welcomed.

There are on file in the library
over thirty thousand separate
reprints, which are becoming
constantly more useful to in-
vestigators. Twenty five thous-
and were received during the
past year as a result of an ap-
peal to members of nine Ameri-
can scientific societies and the
Physiological Society of Eng-
land. These are being indexed

by author as well as by subject
matter. It is particularly de-
sired to obtain a complete set
of reprints, in duplicate, of arti-
cles by investigators working
in the Marine Biological Labora-
tory, and such contributions will
be especially welcome.

The General Education Board
has granted the library the sum
of ten thousand dollars, payable
over a period of five years for
the purchase of complete sets
of journals. The amount so far
available has permitted the pur-
chase of fifty-seven such sets,
the most important being Pflug-
er’s Archiv fur gesammte Phys-
iologie, Virchow'’s Archiv fur
Pathologische Anatomie und
Physiologie and Comptes Rendus
of the Academy of France.

On August twenty-eight there

will be held at Woods Hole a
meeting of representatives of
numerous scientific libraries
such as the New York Academy
of Medicine, the American Med-
ical Association, the Crerar
Library, Biological Abstracts,
Rockefeller Institute, Smithson-
ion Institution, the Library of
Congress, the Surgeon General’s
Library and numerous univer-
sity libraries to consider special
problems in library administra-
tion.
. Some of the questions to be
discussed are the exchanging of
duplicates, the establishment of
a clearing house to dispose of
unwanted sets, the interchange
of books between libraries, the
selection of special fields .of re-
sponsibility for a given library
and the choosing of journals for
subscription.

The Biological Bulletin

Since the enlargement of the
Biological Bulletin the accumu-
lated manuscripts have all been
published or are in press and it
is now possible to issue papers
with a minimum of delay.

The attention of investigators
at the laboratory is, therefore,
called to this condition. The
director will be pleased to re-
ceive manuscripts for publica-
tion in the October and Novem-
ber numbers.

Dr. Francis G. Benedict, di-
rector of the nutrition labor-
atory of the Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington, recently
left Boston to attend the twelfth
International Congress of Phys-
iology to be held at Stockholm
in August. He will then make ©
an extended tour of scientific
institutions in the different Eu-
ropean countries, and will return
to Boston about January 1.

The death is announced of M.
Albert Frouin, who for twenty-
six years has been director of
the physiological laboratories of
the Pasteur Institute, Paris.

CHARMING SUMMER

WEDDING HELD,

Bride
Large Group of Friends

Popular Honored By

Even the sun peeped forth
from the clouds of fog and rain
behind which it had been hiding
the past while, to look upon the
pretty wedding of Dorothea
Nesbit Chambers, of Constan-
tinople, and Donald Blaisdell of
New York, at the church of the
Messiah last Saturday after-
noon.

Decorations of smilax, bay-
berry, and woodland fern made
and appropriate background for
the delicate Parisian frocks in
flower colors worn by the bride
and her attendants.

The bride, as fair as the
lillies which graced the altar,
wore a white georgette dress of
simple fashion elaborated with
deep embroidery. Her court
train of creamy chiffon satin
embroidered with orange blos-

;soms had been worn by Mrs.

Robert Chambers at her own
wedding and the point lace veil,
an heirloom of Mrs. Doughty-
Wylie, was sent from England
for the occasion.

Miss Dorothy Applegate,
maid-of-honor, wore pale green
georgette and carried a bouquet
in which larkspurs and yellow
gladioli mingled their blues and
golds. Her frock, of the same
design as the sheer pink gowns
worn by the matrons-of-honor
and the organist, was long-
waisted and full skirted and was
bordered at the hem with many
petaled flowers of the same
material. The flowing sleeves
were formed from a _ shoulder
scarf of georgette caught at the
wrist. Graceful wide brimmed
hats of black and fascinating
bouquets in pastel pinks, blues,
and lavenders completed the
ensemble.

Dorothea and Mary Averett
Seelye, the two small nieces of
the bride were charming in
dainty flower-girl costumes of
soft voile ‘printed in sweet-pea
colors over green crepe de
chine slips.

The bride, a Bryn Mawr and
Columbia graduate, who has
been devoting her time to wel-
fare and educational work in
Turkey was given away by her
cousin, Dr. Robert Chambers of
Woods Hole and New York, and
was married by her brother-in-

law, Mr. Lawrens Seelye of The
American University, Beirut,
Syria, who, with his family, is
in this country at present.

The matrons-of-honor were
Mrs. Laurens Seelye, the bride’s
sister, and Mrs. D. V. Garsten
of New Haven, a cousin.

The bride was fortunate in
having her college classmate,
Miss Katherine Tyler of Balti-
more, the accomplished pianist,
to play the wedding music.
While the guests were assemb-
ling Miss Tyler played Lar-
ghetto from Beethoven’s 2nd
Symphony, Ave Maria by Bach
Gcunod, and Handel’s Largo.
The bride’s entrance was herald-
ed by the Wedding March from
Lohengrin and the ceremony
closed with the March of Men-
delsohn.

The groom was attended by
his brother, Mr. William Blais-
dell, and the ushers were: Mr.
D. V. Garsten of New Haven,
Ahmed Hassan Bey, of Constan-
tinople, Mr. C. W. Hinton and
Dr. I. H. Page, both of New
York. Their informal white
flannels and dark coats were in
keeping with the summer pic-
ture.

After the wedding, Dr. and
Mrs. Chambers gave a reception
at Bobtucket Cottage in honor
of the bride and groom. The
bride received standing on the
same oriental rug on which her
mother at the British Embassy
in Constantinople, as well as the
other brides of the family, had
received their wedding guests.

The relatives present were
Mrs. T. C. Blaisdell, of Slippery
Rock, Pa., mother of bride-
groom; Dr. and Mrs. Talcott
Williams, of New York City,
Miss Sonia W. Williams of
Bronxville, N. Y., Rev. and Mrs.
W. F. Williams of Stonington,
Conn., Professor and Mrs. F. W.
Williams of New Haven, Conn.,
Master Talcott Seelye, Masters

Robert, Jr., William Nesbitt,
Edward Lucas and Bradford
Chambers.

The out of town guests in-
cluded Miss Mary Allen, of Wor-
cester, Mass., Mr. and Mrs.
Archie A. Coates, of New York
City, Miss Julia Hall, of Plain-
field, N. J. and Constantinople,
Mr. Stanley Knight, of New
Haven, Miss Mabel Nelson, of
New York City, Mr. and Mrs.
C. F. A. Pantin, of Plymouth,
England, Dr. E. Grace White, of
Chambersburg, Pa., Mrs. J. S.
Winslow, of Fort Bragg, N. C.,
and Miss Helen Gunther, of
Englewood, N. J.

There were present also a
large number of Woods Hole
friends who had known the
bride on her previous visits
here.

COLLLECTING NET
GIVES DANCE

The staff of The Collecting
Net sponsored a dance that was
held at the M. B. L. Club Satur-
day evening, August 14. While
not very many couples attended,
a congenial time was enjoyed.
About twenty couples were pre-
sent.

An orchestra composed of
Jerry Boze, saxophonist, Alice
McNaught, violinist, Mrs. Fish-
er, violinist, and Mr. Fisher,
pianist, made the air lively with
appropriate music. Mr. Fisher
added variety to the program by
rendering vocal choruses to the
selections.

Through the efforts of Miss
Pearl Zeek the clubhouse was
very prettily decorated. Some
of ‘the floral decorations were
obtained from the house of Dr.
Chambers where they had been
used during the marriage cere-
mony of his niece. Two baskets
of batchelor buttons which were
used to decorate the piano at
the club, had been previously
used by the bridesmaids at the
wedding.

The dance was considered de-
lightful by all who attended, and
expenses were more than met
charging the modest sum of $1
a couple.

Gravity

The editorial appearing under
the heading of “Restrictions”
has been successful in provoking
a considerable amount of dis-
cussion, and has thus perhaps
served a useful purpose. To
some it seems that both sides of
the question were not equally
considered, and the purpose of
this note is to bring out some
facts which were perhaps not
known to their full extent at the
time the editorial in question
was written.

It is with consternation that
we learn the extent of the mis-
use of the balances of the lab-
oratory. In 1924 and 1925 ig-
norance or carelessness resulted
in the damaging of balances to
the extent of $150.00; and last
summer a set of weights certi-
fied and standardized

tedianship of an experienced
worker who is ready to assume
the obligations involved in ex-
change for the privilege of hav-
ing the balances in his room.
One wonders, however, if this
is the best possible solution. We
learn that little or no damage
has been done since the adoption

.\of this system, but we are con-

fident that hand in hand with
this improvement goes greater
inconvenience and less usage of
the balances. For two reasons
one might hesitate to weigh ma-
terial when under normal con-
|ditions he would not think of
doing otherwise. They are:

(1) The time taken in locat-
ing the key, and the possibility
of not being able to obtain it on
reaching the designated room.
| (2) The reluctance of the
younger workers to _ trouble
\those investigators in charge of
the key who are older and busier
than they.

The object of the Laboratory
is, of course, to make arrange-
ments whereby its apparatus
can best forward scientific re-
search. This policy is not nec-
essarily carried out by guard-
ing its equipment so that it is
easily accessible only to the
older and experienced investiga-
tors.

Locking the balance rooms
apparently does not actually
prevent a novice from using the
scales and he is just about as
likely to carry off weights or
weigh caustic soda without a
container whether he has to
hunt up a key or not. An ana-
logous situation might be the
case of the autoclave that was
rather severely damaged by fail-
ure to remove the flame until
after the water had boiled away.
|'Had the autoclave been locked
in a special room and the key
only available after signing for
it, the accident would not have
been prevented. (The writer is
intimately acquainted with the
investigator, ‘and knows where-
of he speaks!)

If these unfortunate condi-
tions under consideration are
caused by the carelessness of
those making measurements it
is a difficult situation. Investi-
gators and their assistants must
realize their responsibility.
They must exercise the care in
the use of precision apparatus
that they would use when work-
ing with their own microscopes
jand other delicate equipment.

But if they are due to ignor-
ance the laboratory is in part
responsible for the treatment
accorded to their balances.
Directions for their use and the
precautions that must be taken
should be clearly written and
prominently displayed. Unless
an individual can give satisfac-
tory indications that he is thor-
oughly familiar with their use
and care, perhaps permission to
use the balances might not be
granted until he was personally

shown how to operate them.

The system of requiring the
worker to sign before entering
the balance room is an excellent
plan. This fixes the responsi-
bility, and he is likely td leave
things in perfect condition. His
immediate superior might be
the next to use the balances!

But is it necessary to lock the
balance rooms? If it is, can not
the key be placed in their im-
mediate vicinity where any lab-
oratory worker can obtain it at
any time, and yet without incon-
veniencing himself or any one
else?

The following plan is humbly
submitted :

(1) Place one of the Harvard
Trip scales (the total value of
which falls under $20.00) in
once of the general laboratory
rooms on each floor. With these
scales it is possible to determine
the weight of a ten gram mass
to an accuracy of at least one

per cent. In probably 95 per
cent of the cases where the
weight of a material must be

determined, the nature of the ex-
periment does not warrant more
precise measurements.

(2) Supervise in the most ef-
fective manner the use of the
more expensive balances. Two
plans are possible.

(a) To retain the present
plan, preferably modifying it in
some way to make it somewhat
less drastic.

(b) To place the better bal-
ances in the rooms of the older
investigators. Here a responsi-
ble person will be in the immed-
iate vicinity for a greater part
of the time.

Of the latter two possibilities
(b) would obviously better safe-
guard the apparatus from in-
injury due to ignorance or care-
lessness.

Placing the Trip scales in sep-
arate rooms from the more ex-
pensive balances would have the
two distinct advantages (1) of

serving research better by mak-.

ing the operation of weighing
material as simple as possible;
(2) of reducing greatly the un-
necessary use of the high pre-
cision apparatus. It will de
much toward checking the in-
herent tendency to weigh mate-
rial on precision balances when
biological factors and~ physical
conditions introduce errors far
greater than those involved in
weighing on the Harvard Trip
balances. On authority we learn
that the atmospheric conditiors
of Woods Hole cause (unless
professional technique is used)
a three per cent error in the

-weighing of half gram samples.

The present system is object-
ed to on two grounds:

(1) Investigation is actually
hampered by the inconveniences
involved; (2) it hurst our sense
of pride and honor to feel that
we can not be trusted.

Restrictions here are few and

the laboratory is known
throughout the world for its lack
of red tape in its administration.
The government of the library
and the “honor system’ incorp-
orated therein is worthy of com-
mendation. Any person con-
nected with the laboratory, (or
those who are not for that mat-
ter) may enter the stacks at any
time unquestioned; books may
be taken out at will. They are
treated with respect; these priv-
ileges are not abused. Why?
Because we have been placed up-

on our honor and realize our re- —
sponsibilities; and because we
understand the treatment that
should be accorded these tools.

bers of the National Academy of
Sciences working in the labora-
tory this summer the name of

ruff was inadvertantly omitted.

CONGRESS OF
PLANT SCIENCES

An event of interest to
laboratory workers in botany
is the meeting of the Inter-
national Congress of Plant
Sciences at present in session at
Cornell University. No gather-
ing of like scope has been held
since the session of the Third
International Botanical Con-
gress at Brussels in 1910. This
Congress has never before con-
vened in this country. Dr. B.
M. Duggar is general secretary
for the congress. The Congress
is intended to bring together
leaders in all fields of botanical
science, including plant chemis-
try, phytopathology, bacterio-
logy, pharmacognosy and phar-
maceutical botany, agronomy,
horticulture and forestry. The
meetings will last from August
16 to August 238.

Among those attending from
the Marine Biological Labora-
tory are Ethel Stippler, W. R.
Taylor, S. B. Brooks, F. Hol-
lander) Sutin Boe Scott semis
Schramm, B. M. Duggar, B.

A certain individual will
probably be surprised to note
the sparsity of references to him
in the column this week. It is
unfortunate that in the issue of
August 5, there accidentally ap-
peared three notes concerning
this person. “Hold” was
marked on the galley proof be-
side a couple of these pricks,
but the printer did not take full
cognizance of the general physi-
ological fact that the reactions
evoked by intermittent stimula-
tion are far greater than those
resulting from continued cx-

It is rumored that when a
prominent member of the col-

hook that he had been missing
for the past three weeks.

Miss Impi Arvo and J. J.
Murphey announced their en-

COAST GUARD PICKS
UP CHINESE JUNK

Many people in Woods Hole
watched with interest the dra-
gon colored Chinese junk that
passed through the Hole during
the latter part of July. The
“‘Amoy”, which sailed across the
Pacific in 87 days three years
ago, was taken in by the Coast
Guard boat in Long Island
Sound last week for carrying
Chinese men who could not pro-
duce passports. On finding that
the two men in question were
students, one at Harvard and
the other at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the
“Amoy” was released.

The junk, sails and all, is
painted in briliiant primary
colors, and is decorated with

dragon’s eyes. Alihough retain-
‘ng the outward appearance of
its original state it has been fit~-
ted out with modern plumbing
and other conveniences. The
craft, though sixty-eight feet
long, draws only four feet of
water. Alfred Nilson, an au-
thor, is its captain.

Mr. D. M. DeForest, of Union
College, broke one of the bones
in his hight arm in July while
cranking the Ford of Professor
H. K. Svenson.

A WOODS HOLE CONFERENCE ON
RESEARCH IN AMERICAN COLLEGES

Twenty Four Colleges Send Representatives to Conference Here

The promotion of productive scholarship in American colleges was the
subject discussed at a conference of college and university representatives

held at the M. B. L. on Tuesday, August 17th.

This and two similar con-

ferences held in Washington in December 1924 and March 1925, owe their
origin to the enthusiasm for research and initiative of Dr. Maynard Met-
calf; and to the realization by individuals and by institutions of the
necessity of encouraging research in American colleges.

At the first conference, which four-
teen representatives of ten institu-
tions attended, factors militating
against research and methods of fa-
cilitating research were outlined.
The possibility of forming a national
organization was discussed and a
committee was elected to formulate a
project. This committee, consisting
of C. E. McClung, Professor of
Zoology of the University of Penn-
sylvania; Maynard M. Metcalf,
Chairman of the Division of Biology
and Agriculture of the National Re-
search Council, serving as Chairman
of the Committee; John A. Muller,
Vice President, Swarthmore College,
and Professor of Mathematics and
Astronomy; George D. Olds, Presi-
dent, Amherst College; Anne Young,
Professor of Astronomy, Mount Hol-
yoke College, arranged for a second
conference to be held in Washington
on March 20th, 1926. Invitations
were sent to colleges throughout the
country requesting that the College
send the President, the Dean or some
member of the faculty interested in
the promotion of research as a repre-
sentative to this conference.

Twenty-four colleges sent repre-
sentatives. A project was submitted
and discussed. Methods already in
operation in different colleges for the
encouragement of research were out-
lined, and suggestions offered for in-
creasing the opportunities and the
stimulus for research in American
colleges.

It was agreed that a research com-
mittee in each college could do much
to foster interest in research on the
part of the faculty and the adminis-
tration; and that recognition by such
an organization as the National Re-
search Council would facilitate
the work of such committees. After
a day of discussion it was voted to
request the Division of Educational
Relations of the National Research
Council to organize a committee or
board to study the promotion of pro-
ductive scholarship among teachers in

American colleges. A committee,
consisting of Professor Mary Calkins
of Wellesley College, Chancellor

Samuel Capen of the University of
Buffalo, Professor Edward Ellery,
dean of Union college and secretary
of Sigma Xi; Professor C. E. Mc-
Clung of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and Dr. Maynard Metcalf,
chairman division of biology and
agriculture, National Research Coun-
cil; presented this request accom-
panied by a detailed report of the
preliminary conferences, an argu-
ment for the project presented, and
a plan of organization of such an ad-
ministrative committee as that sug-
gested in the project.

The Division of Educational Rela-
tions considered the request at its
meetings in 1925 and 1926 and voted
that the chairman be asked to secure
some representative of the division
who could represent its interest; and
aid in promoting research by means
of a series of conferences with the
colleges concerned.

At the conference held at the M.
B. L. twenty-one institutions were
represented List of representatives
may be included; see page 5. Dr.
Goodrich of Wesleyan acted as chair-
man and Dr. Sampson of Smith Col-
lege as secretary. At the request of
the chairman, Dr. McClung stated

some of the reasons why he, as a
university professor, was interested
in this movement to promote research
in American colleges. At the present
time a large proportion of graduate
students come from small colleges,
receiving their inspiration for re-
search from teachers in these insti-
tutions. It is desirable to relieve
such teachers from ‘theavy teaching

schedules, and to supply them with

adequate equipment that they may
be encouraged to continue their own
research and interest undergraduates
in productive work. This proposed

plan of betterment of the academic
life in colleges is one of the enter-

prises of the National Research
Council. Evidence of interest and of
action on the part of a group within
a college, such as the Research Com-
mittee at Oberlin, or on the part of
representatives from colleges at the
conferences already held will both
serve to emphasize the importance of
the movement to the chairman of the
division of Educational Relations of
the National Research Council, and
may hasten the appointment of a re-
presentative from the division who
shall hold conferences with college
faculties. The National Research
Council once convinced of the impor-
tance of the project can succeed in
obtaining financial support if it is
needed. Dr. McClung suggested that

\if the colleges use the resources al-

ready available in furthering pro-

‘ductive scholarship, the National Re-

search Council will then be in a posi-
tion to ask for support for such
research.

Dr. Metcalf then gave a brief re-
port of the results of the previous
conferences, and stated that it was
now realized by those interested in
the plan that the initiative should

CZECHO-SLOVAKIAN
MINISTER HERE

The Czecho-Slovakian Minis-
ter to the Court of St. James,
M. Jan. Masaryk, with Mme.
Masaryk (nee Frances Crane)
recently arrived at Woods Hole
from Prague, where they had
been visiting the Minister’s
father, President T. G. Masaryk
of Czecho-Slovakia, and will
spend the month of August
vacationing and seeing old
friends: in Woods Hole, after
which they will spend some time
in Canada on official business
before returning to London.

Mr. Daniel C. Healy, a mem-
ber of the collecting crew, suf-
fered a broken radius bone in
his forearm and several torn
ligaments in his wrist, when the
engine of the motor dory,
Marjorie, kicked while he was
trying to start it, on the after-
noon of July 28. He was rushed
to the hospital in Boston, where
the proper treatment was given
the broken member. Mr. Healy
is now recuperating in Woods
Hole and is expected to have the
full use of his arm in about five
weeks.

Woods Hole, although a mere
speck on the map, is a busy little
place just the same. Not only
does it allure people to come,
and charm them to stay for the
summer months, but our little
town also is a witness to much
travel. Last week a number of
people were unable to board one
of the boats for the Island as
it was filled to capacity.

SUNDAY ON THE WATER

The difficulty of rowing the
whale boat through the Hole
under adverse conditions was
clearly demonstrated on Sunday
afternoon. It is believed that
the constant negative accelera-
tion of the craft was responsible
for the decision of Capt. 8. that
there were other spots just as
ideal for his picnic as the one
originally decided upon.

Among those bathing on
Sunday were Phil Wheeler and
two friends who arrived off
Juniper Point before the canoe
turned over in which they had
been paddling. Due to the cur-
rent and wind a swim of about
a hundred yards was in order,
and successfully made.

Skipper C. made a brave at-
tempt to convey a group of his
friends to the East Gutter on
Sunday morning in his trusty
sail boat. Adverse circumstances
of varied nature prevented the
completion of his trip. It is
thought that one of the contri-
buting factors was the peculiar
psychological reactions produced
upon all who board this famous
vessel.

joined. By far the larger pro-
portion of the members are
what are known as contributing
members. The rest, all-year-
round residents of Woods Hole,
are known as non-contributing
members and do not share the
responsibilities that are common
to the other members.

Each contributing member
pays five dollars into the trea-
sury. This money goes toward
the salary of an inspector whose
duty it is to make weekly
rounds to the homes of all the
members and note whether
everything is ship-shape or not.
If any irregularities are observ-
ed by the inspector he at once
notifies the secretary who noti-
fies the owner. In this way many
heavy losses have been averted.
The inspector has frequently
found dwellings improperly
locked immediately after the de-
parture of the residents. Then
during the winter the storms
are wont to cause minor in-
juries to the buildings which, if
they are not fixed, might result
in a loss of a more serious
nature. There is also the fac-
tor of the inspector’s discovering
evidences of unlawful entrance.
It is interesting that in the year
before the founding of the asso-
ciation, sixteen cases of unlaw-
ful entrance were reported,
whereas since that time there
have been but two or three a
year.

There is an additional fee of
one dollar to those members
who may have cause to have
workmen enter the place during
the winter who will find it neces-
sary to procure the use of the
key. ;

It had been customary in past
years to employ the inspector
between October first and June
first. At the meeting held this
July, the time was increased
to include June fifteenth.

Succeeding Dr. R. P. Bigelow,
as Chairman of the association,
is Dr. H. H. Plough. E. M. Ellis,
chief engineer of the Cayadetta,
was elected to the position of
vice-chairman. Miss Florence
Tinkham succeeded the Rev. J.

Bancroft as secretary-treasurer. |

The two other members were
elected to the executive com-
mittee.

The business meeting consist-
ed of the reports of the secretary
and treasurer on the events
transpiring in the past year.
The Rev. Bancroft, in his double
capacity rendered these reports
which were favorably accepted
by the members of the associa-
tion.

About thirty members attend-
ed the meeting.

come from the colleges. He further
suggested that as a first step an at-
tempt be made to establish research
committees in colleges which should
work to secure cooperation of faculty
and administration, and support for

research within the college. The suc-
cessful operation of such committees
in universities was described by Pro-
fessor McClung and Dr. Chidester.
Dr. Rogers gave an ‘account of the
organization of such a committee at

Oberlin and the advantages already |

obtained through it. Dr. Howland
gave an interesting account of the
successful drive for a research fund
recently conducted at the Washington
Square College of the City of New
York by a member of the English
department, thus indicating what can
be done by an individual in a college
toward promoting research. Dr.
Hogue and Dr. Collett spoke in
favor of obtaining a representative
from the National Research Council
to stimulate college faculties to en-
gage in research; of the policy of
consultation trips from colleges to
universities; of exchange of instruc-
tors between colleges and between
colleges and universities.

The following resolutions
drawn up:

1. That the conference approves
the suggestion that research commit-

were

tees be established in American
colleges for the encouragement of
research.

2. That it favors the vlan of the|

Division of Educational Relations of
the National Research Council to ap-
point a representative to visit col-
leges to discuss the promotion of re-
search.

It was voted to request the National
Research Council to finance the send-
ing of reports on the project to the
colleges known to be interested, with
the proposal that those interested in
the creation of research committees
or otherwise furthering research in
their institutions send written state-
ments to this effect to the National
Research Council.

It was generally agreed that the
following procedure might best be
followed: the creation of research
committees in colleges to promote re-
search within the institution by every
possible method; the election of a
liaison member for consultation with
similar members of committees in
other colleges; a small executive com-
mittee, elected by liaison members to
act for them in aiding research.

It was voted that the chairman of
the Woods Hole Conference call an-
other meeting at his discretion, with
the expectation that research commit-
tees may be established in some col-
leges within the coming year which
could send liaison members to such
a meeting.

Marjorie Veeder
1905-1826

Miss Marjorie Veeder’s sud-
den death on Tuesday is a
great shock to everyone, and
to those who knew her in her
work in the library is especially
hard. Miss Veeder had been
assisting in the library since
November, 1925. Everyone
who came into contact with
her enjoyed her brightness and
her friendliness, and all feel
the deepest sympatiy for her
parents and her family.

We are very sorry to hear of
the unfortunate accident that
happened August 20th to Gil-
bert Denham of Falmouth, when
a delivery truck driven by him
collided with the morning train
from Woods Hole. The train
hit the vehicle broadside, knock-

ing the car some distance and!
istretches some 2000 miles to the

seriously injuring its driver.
Denham was leaving the freight
office and his car stalled on the
tracks. Although the train was
slowing down to make a stop
the collision was unavoidable.
Denham was treated by Dr. T.
A. Wiswall, and rushed to the
Cape Cod hospital at Hyannis.
He is reported in a serious con-
dition, having a fracture of the
spine. We wish him a speedy
recovery.

We extend our heartiest con-
_ gratulations to Mr. W. O. Lus-
~ combe, who celebrated his 75th
birthday at his home on Nobska
Road, Thursday, August 19th.
A dinner party was given him
by his immediate family,’and a
large, lighted birthday cake was
ceremoniously brought in by his
two small grandchildren, Anita
and Betsy Luscombe. A recep-
tion was given him. later in the
afternoon by his numerous
friends. The house was prettily
decorated for the occasion, and
filled with bouquets of flowers.
He received many gifts, among
which was a beautiful young
mare, given by his wife and his

son.

TEN CENTS

JUNGLE LABORATORY
DESCRIBED BY DR. FISH

In spite of all superstitions to
the contrary the evening of
Friday, August the 13th, was a

fortunate one for the laboratory

workers and others who were
privileged to hear a most inter-
esting lecture given by Dr. H. D.
Fish, professor of zoology at the

University of Pittsburgh, en-
titled “Biology Students in
British Guiana.” The Labora-

tory of Tropical Biology has
been operated during the sum-
mer of 1924, 1925 and 1926 at
Kartabo, British Guiana, under
the supervision of Dr. Fish and
members of the staff.

The idea at Kartabo has been
to provide opportunity and in-
spiration for students of tropi-
cal biology, and for this purpose
it is unusually well situated, be-
ing located at the junction of
the mignty Mazaruni ana
Cayuni rivers, in the heart of a
tropical rain forest which

south and west, probably the
most extensive and little known
jungle area in the world.

Very interesting colored lan-
tern slides were shown of
Georgetown, the capital of Brit-
ish Guiana, including the beau-
tiful and diverse botanical gar-
dens and the polyglot population
mede up principally of negroes
and East Indians with a fair
sprinkling of English, Portu-
guese, Chinese, and an occa-
sional aboriginal red skin.

The audience was then con-
ducted on a trip by steamer
some 60 miles up the Essequibo
river to the government penal
colony from where a launch was
taken to the laboratory three
miles further on. ,

Views were then shown of the
jungle trails, the tangle and
mystery of the “great bush”
itself, the streams, the Indians,
their villages, their primitive
method of preparing food,
which were perfect in detail,
and complete in story.

More than 100 slides of ani-
mals were shown including those
of the only photographs ever
taken of the fresh water Esse-

Biological Center in England

Throughout The Year

DR. C. F. A. PANTIN

The land of the Pilgrim Fathers sees today the greatest
development of marine biology in America; the M. B. L. of

Woods Hole.
Plymouth
British Isles.

The desire for intellectual
freedom which made the Pil-
erims leave Devon was part of
the spirit of Plymouth town,
and it seemed to King Charles
II that there was more of this
spirit than was consistent with
royal dignity. So to make sure
that no unfortunate incidents
should occur, the King, in 1666,
built a citadel; a fine citadel on
Plymouth Hoe, where Drake had
played bowls. It commands a
splendid view of the sound, a

By an odd coincidence their old home at
in England now leads marine biology

in the

sheet of water about two miles
square surrounded on _ three
'sides by land, and to the south
‘partly closed from the open sea
by a large breakwater. And the
old builders had so arranged
matters that two great ramparts
on the seaward side enclosed an
ideal site for a marine labora-
tory. This was the site selected
two hundred and _ twenty-two
years later by the Marine Bio-
logical Association of the United
Kingdom for the building of
their laboratory.

The association draws its
members mainly from the uni-
versities of Great Britain and
from among those people who
are interested on the applica-
tions of marine biology, particu-
larly to fishery problems. The
M. B. A. laboratory is supported
partly by private benefactions,
partly by subscriptions from
members and partly by a gov-
ernment grant. Although it
was founded at about the same
time as the M. B. L., its growth
has not been so rapid. But ad-
ditions during the last few years
have doubled former laboratory

accommodation, which is now
about equal to that of the old
building of the M. B. L. Under
the able direction of Dr. E. J.
Allen, F. R. S., who has long
been in charge, the laboratory
is today a most active center of
biological research.

The object of the M. B. /.
laboratory is two-fold. On tl >
one hand it provides accomm
dation for visiting biologists

THE BABY REVOLUTION

(The following skit was written
apropos of the recent events on the
bathing beach during which it was
revealed for the first time to certain
members of the laboratory that the
exposure of infants to the direct rays
of the sun is considered to have a
pernicious influence on adult minds.
It is based on actual occurrences in
which laboratory members, the police
department, a Catholic priest and
natives of Wood’s Hole took part.)

Scene: A stretch of sandy
beach at Woods Hole, Mass.

Time: July 28, 1926.

Characters: Wild Wives;
Sensible Husbands; Nice
Nurses; A Lot of Babies; The
Chief of Police; a Quahaug Dig-
ger.

As the curtain goes up, con-
fusion and lack of order seem to
be main motif. The babies in-
sist on crawling away from
their mothers and burrowing in
the sand. For this reason a
quahaug digger (sometimes
called clam-digger) has been
selected as stage director. He
leisurely (he’s a native) digs out
the babies and tosses them back
to the Wild Wives. Due to his
efrorts we can see that there are
two groups on the sand, which
can be roughly classified as the
Overdressed Babies and their
keepers and the Underdressed
Babies and their mothers. The
former seem puny and listless;
the latter sturdy, tanned, and
extremely active. The Sensible
Husbands are at the time work-
ing in the Laboratory or golfing.
The Chief of Police can be seen
now and then peering out from
behind a beach-plum tree.

First Wild Wife: My hus-
band is a specialist on the thera-
peutic value of sun’s rays on the
human body. He says the rays
do more good than all the pink
pills Lydia Pinkham ever
thought about. My boy Hank
has never been sick a day in his
life, and he gets a long sun-bath
every day.

Second Wild Wife: I cured
my little Jack of a bad attack
of eczema by sun baths. Let’s
take their suits off, so they can
enjoy the sun and salt water the
way Nature intended them to!

Chorus of W. Ws.: Let’s.

Process of undressing is
rapid, and half a dozen brown
bodies sprawl in the white sand
or splash gleefully in the waves.

Naked Babies:
A revolt we will stage on the
sand,
Our rights to be free we de-
mand,
Like Eden’s first pair
No clothes will we wear,
Though we’re breaking the Law
of the Land.

THE COLLECTING NET

Overdressed Babies:

We're all dressed up all the live-
long day

With stiff white suits and hair
in bows,

We can’t have any fun this way

O Nurse! Can we take off our
clothes?

Nice Nurses: Horace! Per-
cival! Come away! Don’t look
at those children! Their mothers
have no shame for their sex.

Overdressed Babies: What's
shame? What’s sex? They can
play a lot better without any
clothes on.

Chief of Police: Come in here,
you, who do you think you are,
Earl Carroll? Put some clothes
on them kids, or I’]] have you up
for moral turp. ;

Wild Wives: What harm does
it do? Who’s the camplainant?

Chief of Police: Father John,
a priest up the line. He’s afraid
for your morals.

Wild Wives: More likely for
his medicine. Here come our
husbands, they’ll back us up,
and we'll take it to court.

Sensible Husbands: O dears,
of course it’s much healthier
for the kids to be without
clothes; and they like it a lot
better; and we haven’t any
objection ourselves, but—

Naked Babes: Daddy! What’s
the matter with our bodies?
Why can’t we go without
clothes?

Sensible Husbands: Well, you
see, children, some of you are
boys, and some of you are girls,
and your bodies are different.
That is, well—er—boys and
girls shouldn’t play together
naked. The sexes shouldn’t see
each other naked. Put on your
clothes.

Naked Babes: Oh, we know
now what sex and shame are.

Their frank and unashamed
glances turn furtive and abash-
ed; they turn their backs on one
another and without taking the
time to put clothes on, burrow
rapidly out of sight in the sand.
The Wives and Husbands call
loudly for the Stage Director to
dig them out; but as he belongs
to the Quahaug Diggers’ Union,
he has quit at five o'clock.

Curtain.

NOTES

The Honorable William M.
Butler, United States Senator
from Massachusetts, has made
two visits to Woods Hole during
the past two weeks. His motor
yacht, Akbar, excited no little
comment as it lay moored to the
Cayadetta dock last Sunday.

Dr. Fred Stewart, Assistant
in Bacteriology at the Rockefel-
ler Institute, has been visiting
in Woods Hole for the past
week.

Mr. Harold L. Weatherford

of the Harvard Medical School

|\Department of Anatomy is
spending a two-week period
here.

Dr. C. P. Rhoades and Dr,
Percy Davidson, of the Boston
City Hospital Laboratory spent
the week end here.

The Palo Company, which has
been giving an exhibition of
scientific apparatus in the Old
Lecture Hall during the past
week, has lost a pair of Busch
Prism Binoculars (8x Ultralux
Model). Mr. Ball who was in
charge of the exhibit will be
grateful if any information con-
cerning them can be given to
Mr. McNaught.

The Commonwealth, one of the
regular steamers of the Fall
River Line was towed to New-
port on Saturday due to a slight
crack which appeared in its
crank shaft. It will probably
not be back on duty until Labor
Day.

Dr. and Mrs. R. P. Cowles and
their two daughters of Balti-
more are spending a few weeks
at Woods Hole. Dr. Cowles is
associate Professor of Zoology
at Johns Hopkins University,

The Plymouth Laboratory

(Continued from Page 1)

who wish to do research there.
This side of its activities is quite
parallel to the M. B. L. On the
other hand, the association main-
tains a staff of about twelve re-
search workers who remain per-
manently at the laboratory. This
enables many marine problems
to be attacked which can only
be studied effectively if observa-
tions are made continually over
long stretches of time; such, for
example, as the study of sea-
sonal variations in the plankton.

Problems of strict industrial
applications are already investi-
gated at various laboratories of
the government. The associa-
tion has therefore taken the
wise course of encouraging the
staff to pursue investigations of
fundamental significance rather
than those of immediate applic-
ability. The field covered by
these investigations is very wide
and can only be _ described
briefly. They include: factors
influencing the growth of dia-
toms, Dr. E. J. Allen; bionomics
and pathology of the oyster, Dr.
J. H. Orton; seasonal changes
in phosphates, silicates and ni-
trates of seawater which prove
to be limiting factors for diatom
growth and hence control the
whole marine food supply, Dr.
W. R. G. Atkins and W.
Harvey; quantitative plankton
distribution, F. S. Russell.
Feeding habits of planktonic
animals—each animal eats an-
other animal until finally the
last animal eats diatoms, which,
being vastly in the majority
have as usual to put up with it
—Dr. M. V. Lebour. Animal
communities on the sea floor, O.
D. Hunt. The genetics of Gam-
marus—quite a marine Droso-
phila—Mrs. E. W. Sexton; herr-
ing migrations, E. Ford; game-
togenesis in mollusca, F.
Palmer; biochemistry of fish
livers, H. O. Bull; comparative
physiology of digestion in in-
vertebrates, C. M. Yonge; cell
physiology, particularly amoe-
boid movement, C. F. A. Pantin.
The majority of this work is
published in the “Journal of the
Marine Biological Association.”

This big range of work has
made a good library covering
almost every branch of biology
and chemistry a vital necessity.
It is also important in another
way. A visiting investigator
can always find someone who is
able to give him detailed infor-
mation as to suitable organisms
that are available for work in
any field.

This brings us back to labora-

tory accommodations for visit-.

ing investigators. There is
available accommodation for
some forty workers besides the
permanent staff, rooms or tables
being obtained simply by appli-

cation to the director. This side
of the laboratory’s activities is
assuming an ever increasing im-
portance, for, as with the M. B.
L., the number of visiting inves-
tigators increases rapidly every
vear. The increase is largely
due to the formation of a de-
partment for general physiology
and experimental biology with
quite adequate means for the
purchase and upkeep of all the
necessary apparatus which such
a department demands. The de-
partment was only formed since
the war, but it now accounts for
fifty per cent of the research
undertaken by visitors at the
station.

Material is collected partly on
the shore. The seventeen foot
tide gives a fine exposure for
this, and during the student
courses it gives rise to a series
of highly romantic maroonings.
The majority of the material is
collected by boat. The labora-
tery owns a trawler, the S. S.
“Salpa’’, about the size of the
Haleyon, also a large motor boat
and a sailing boat for work
within the sound. The boats are
well fitted with the usual gear,
including otter trawls, dredges,
nets, and such strange appar-
atus as is from time to time in-
vented by the younger members
of the staff.

The fauna is certainly the
richest in England. Apart from
general Atlantic coastal
fauna, many Arctic forms reach
down to Devonshire by way of
the Irish and North Seas; and
Plymouth is. sufficiently far
south to come within the range
of some forms properly belong-
ing to the Mediterranean region.
Compared with Woods Hole the
Plymouth fauna is very interest-
ing, for it is in many ways com-
plementary. Limulus, alas! is
not with us. (Amphioxus is the
ancestor of the true Briton).
But in place of Limulus there
are two very large crabs (cancer
edulis and Maia squinado)
which grow to nearly a foot
across, and besides the common
lobster there is the Rock Lobster
(Palinurus). In the same way
Anbacia and the sand dollar are
replaced by Echinus (E. escu-
lentus and E. miliaris) and the
Heart urchins (Echinocordium
and Spatangus). In passing it
may be said that one member of
the staff has undertaken the
noble task of eating everything
specifically entitled “edulis” and
“esculentus.”” So far he is doing
as well as can be expected,
though he fears that the modern
rapid changes in zoological
nomenclature may convert an
“edulis” into an “emeticus’” in
the very act of deglutition.

The collecting grounds them-
selves are very varied. Within
a radius of a few miles are sand,
gravel, mud, and rocky shores
of both limestone and igneous
rocks.

PAGE THREE

The season is different at Ply-
mouth from that at Woods Hole.
The resident workers keep the
laboratory open the whole year,
an arrangement rendered possi-
ble by the very mild winters of
Devonshire. The fauna is at its
best at two distinet periods: (1)
March to June and (2) the end
of August to the beginning of
October. Many visitors come at
these times and courses are run
for students, one in March in
general marine biology, and one
in September, an advanced
course in comparative physi-
ology. The classes are, how-
ever, much smaller than those
of the M. B. L.

Although the M. B. A. labora-
tory has still far to go to reach
the size of the M. B. L., yet both
fulfill a similar function—they
both serve as clearing houses for
active biological research, and
each one draws investigators not
merely from one_ institution
alone but from all over their re-
spective countries. A visit to
Woods Hole brings one in con-
tact with almost every aspect of
American biology, far more so
than would a visit to any other
single institution. Plymouth
may now be said to have taken
up a similar position with re-
spect to Great Britain.

There could be no_ better
point of contact between Ameri-
can and British biologists than
that which might be provided by
a free interchange of investiga-
tors between the two labora-
tories. Not only does a visiting
investigator find himself stimu-
lated by seeing fresh types and
new methods, but he gains by
meeting representatives from all
over the country an intimacy
with his biological cousins that
gives him an invaluable key
wherever he may choose to go
subsequently.

And it is just as easy to dis-
embark at Plymouth and then
go on to London a day, a week,
a month, or even a year later—
you can not outstay your wel-
come.

| Dr. Cobb Talks On
Importance of Nema Study

Nematodes and the lack of
scientific interest in them was
the subject of an informal lec-
ture last Thursday evening in
the smoking room of the Fish
Commission residence by Dr. N.
A. Cobb of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Dr. Cobb
deplored the fact that nematol-
ogy with its valuable opportun-
ities for experimentation is so
neglected by scientists, declar-
ing that the destruction to
plants and the diseases to hu-
mans which nematodes cause al-
though little is yet known about
this second evil, are a great in-
centive to study.

An interested audience of
about twenty-five attended the
lecture. Dr. Cobb illustrated
his words with skillfully pre-
pared colored slides and black-
board sketches. At the close of
the address he invited the com-
ments and questions of zoolog-
ists in an open forum, in the
course of which it was suggest-
ed that the general lack of inter-
est in nematology might be ac-
counted for by the ignorance
among students of the proper

use of the microscope and of in-
vertebrate zoology in general.

Research In Biology

“The Collecting Net’ started
in life with a definite purpose.
Tt wants to report facts and news
of interest, to forward scientific
research, and it wants to foster
and encourage that indefinable
“something” which for want of
a better name is sometime called
the “spirit of the laboratory”.
The atmosphere of research, in-
formality and goodwill here is
unique and precious. It is as
much a part of the institution
as are the buildings and equip-
ment on the grounds of the
laboratory. It is the essence
of the laboratory, and if
the latter has a soul, this “some-
thing” is it! Our little weekly
dedicates itself to the forward-
ing the objects of the Marine
Biological Laboratory.

To be associated with the
Marine Biological Laboratory is
a privilege, an honor and a de-
finite responsibility. There is no
place on earth where so many
fine people gather—united by
the common purpose of forward-
ing research in the biological
sciences—to understanding the
living organism and its behavior
in all its aspects and phases. It
is a worthy aim, and the joy
and intense satisfaction of
wresting from Nature its car-
fully guarded secrets can be ap-
preciated only by those who are
actually engaged in research.
To us it seems that one has not
known life to its full extent un-
til he has struggled for months
with an intricate problem of
biology, gradually. illuminating
points that were before in total
darkness. Greater is the joy
than the successful culmination
of business propositions- to a
business man; greater than that
sensed by the architect on see-
ing before him his dreams and
plans as a permanent monument
‘in brick and mortar.

THE COLLECTING NET

working here for any length of
time fall under its influence and
become devoted to the laboratory
and its work. Memories of one
summer spent within its walls
will last a lifetime; and without
exception those who have had
the privilege wish to return
again—not only once bui sea-

lson after season—and each year

one’s affection for Wood’s Hole
and the laboratory increases by
leaps and bounds. It knows no
limit! ,

The Marine Biological Labora-
tory is implanted on firm foun-
dations with assets totaling more
than two million dollars. It is
quite time that the question of
awarding research scholarships
to promising students and be-
ginning investigators was taken
under consideration; and to this
end The Collecting Net is going
to undertake a campaign to raise
money for a Research Scholar-
ship Fund which will be initiated
at the beginning of the season
in 1927. After a careful study
of the financial situation we are
ecnvinced that we can meet our
publication expenses next sum-
mer by charging five cents a
eopy for our little bulletin. But
we shall maintain our present
charge of ten cents; and half of
the proceeds from the sale of
copies will be turned over to the
proposed Scholarship Fund.

Even if no external aid was
volunteered a sizable sum could
be accumulated before the end
of the season. But the labora-
tory has many friends and we
firmly believe that they would
consider it a privilege to for-
ward scientific work in such a
striking manner.

On another page Dr. Pantin,
who is the resident staff mem-
ber in physiology at the Ply-
mouth laboratory, points out the
possibilities of making an ar-
rangement whereby there might
be a free interchange of investi-
gators between the Marine Bio-
logical Laboratory Association
at Plymouth, England, and our
own laboratory. The question
of funds may at first seem to
present a formidable barrier,
but probably we can provide
money to pay the traveling ex-
penses of our investigators who
would be selected to go to Ply-
mouth. It is hoped that funds
ean be obtained in England
to enable the Plymouth labora-
tory to likewise completely reim-
burse its representatives to our
institution.

Such an arrangment would do
much toward promoting bio-
logical research and do its bit
toward fostering international
good will; and it would directly
benefit both laboratories con-
cerned in innumerable ways.
The plan is a worthy one and
it deserves the hearty support
of all who are interested in for-

Those of us who have been

warding biological research.

Science and Music

From the standpoint of one
interested in biological Woods
Hole any evidence that non-
biologists are settling here in
increasing numbers is welcome.
It will contribute to preserving
influences which will help the
workers.

By the greatest good fortune
the laboratory people seem to
have now acquired sufficient land
and to have agreed on a simpli-
city of social attitude which will
inhibit undesirable diversions.

A number of cultivated peo-
ple have been attracted by this,
and those are welcomed who de-
sire to contribute to a free en-
joyment of the true university
atmosphere of the place. Bio-
logists are glad to discover,
near by, students of philosophy,
engineering, or medical special-
ties. College presidents, politi-
cal economists, publishers, jour-

nalists, artists, musicians: all
seem to belong. Even some
others, non-professionals and

owners of large places become
interested in the laboratory and
actually win a high place in the
esteem of the biologists by their
sincere efforts to help in some
way.

We all recognize the sympa-
thetic understanding of one
philanthropist who has become
one of us. He expressed it not
only by generous benefactions
which have induced others to
support the work of the labora-
tory, but by joining in, through
personal acts which should
maintain the fine old spirit of
the place. From time to time,
he has shared with us works of
art and music which he brought
here for our mutual enjoyment
and stimulus. It was a wonder-
ful experience to hear the Rus-
sian Choir on the lawn, with its
interpretation of old Russia and
the character of a great people.
The whole community profited
immensely by the way this was
done.

Music furnishes common
ground, where all of this diverse
community may meet and join
in mutual appreciation of as-
pects of the imagination and of
thought which in some manner
are sure to touch each special
interest, and may serve as ef-
fective stimuli to higher achieve-
ment in science.

These thoughts are called
forth by Mrs. Murray Crane’s
musical of last week. Here was
a most sincere effort. The audi-
ence showed deep appreciation of
the work of. Miss Nancy Wilson
and Miss Hubner, who played
with such authority and_ skill
as to achieve the highest praise.
Theme and accompaniment sang
true and beautiful, as is only
possible at the hands of trained
professionals. The program
was grouped with a historical

motive and Mrs. Crane’s brief
and excellent talk, with explana-
tions and discussion, was a very
happy idea.

Such groups have gathered be-
fore in Woods Hole, though per-
haps seldom with such definite
purpose to further the study as
well as the enjoyment of music.
Here were real artists holding
up to us intellectual ideals and
practical accomplishment in a
field fundamentally related to
our own work.

_ Such examples of constructive
imagination help us.

It is certainly to be hoped
that these chamber-music as-
semblies shall be continued in
our free hours. And what a
great thing it would be should
this lead further to the develop-
ment of music for the commun-
ity, In some way similar to the
great example set by the Rus-
sian Choir.

To the Editor of the Collecting Net:

At the wonderful centre that has
gradually been built up here at
Woods Hole, one has the privilege of
listening to a large number of the
most brilliant lights of the many
institutions scattered throughout
these United States. One cannot but
glory in the fact that our places of
learning possess so many men of high
‘scientific attainment, of so high an
torder of individual integrity and not
least, so noble a capacity for making
material sacrifices in the cause of In-
‘tellectual Progress.

But, alas, other, less agreeable re-
flections are aroused. Wonder at the
‘almost universal ignoring of the first
‘principles of Art to which these men
have presumably dedicated their lives.
‘These men are students of science.
True. There are, granted, a few
‘who devote their lives to investiga-
tion and research. But the great
majority surely are drawing their
salaries as teachers of Youth; yet
they seem to haye taken no thought
whatever of making themselves audi-
ble to their audience. Few of these
men but would laugh at the most
learned scientist who could not pre-
sent the results of his labors in clear
eogent English (or some other
language!) All will be inclined to
agree, I fancy, with Harvey Robin-
son’s belief that a lack of clarity in
expression is at bottom only a lack
of clarity in thought. Yet, frequent-
ly, to their students they are worse
than obscure. They are unheard.

There is probably not one of those
gentlemen who would be guilty of
publishing a text-book printed on

tyne. Yet almost all of them are
willing to set forth the results of
their research in verbal dress that
to my way of thinking, is even less
excusable. As a Trustee of a College,
I am appalled at the almost general
eold-shouldering of the art of making
one’s self heard and understood in
the lecture room. It is not possible
to cast all the blame upon the archi-
tects’ shoulders. There are too many

teachers whom it is difficult to under-
stand across the dining room table!

We were shocked beyond
measure last Sunday morning
when an exhaustive search fail!-
ed to reveal that classic book on
evolution—the Holy Bible—in
what is supposed to be one of
the finest libraries of its kind in
the world. The situation was
untenable. It could not be al-
lowed to stand.

Fortunately the Trustees of
the laboratory saw fit to severe-
ly censor the Librarian at a
special meeting on Tuesday
afternoon called for that pur-
pose. The Editorial Staff wish
to commend the Trustees for
their prompt and efficient action
in relieving the situation.

The Cayadetta is docked at
the Fish Commission Wharf for
repairs. It seems to have with-
stood successfully all the various
ecllecting trips and course pic-
nics of the summer. A sad blow
was dealt, it appears, by the
rigors of the Investigators’
. Picnic of last week.

A petition signed by the two
individuals concerned accounted
for the repetition in our last is-
sue of a note in this column
which had appeared a week pre-
viously !!

We have been asked whether
“Calvinism” is a conservative
doctrine. This question seems
to be open to debate? Can our
readers help us?

The most important matter
that came up for consideration
at the meeting of the laboratory

Committee on Policy at its even- |

ing session was the question of
the lettering to be used in in-
scribing the words “Thou shalt
not weigh” on the walls of the
lobby of the new building.

FISHES OF THE DEEP SEA

It was from specimens of fish
taken from the North Atlantic
that evidence has been found
showing that fishes of the deep
sea had anatomical structure
and organization specially
adapted for these physical con-
ditions. The agreement among
these fishes was that their con-
nective tissue was so weak that
it would yield and break under
the slightest pressure, thereby
causing great difficulty in pre-
serving their bodies. Another
characteristic was that some of
the specimens were picked up
floating on the surface of the
water, having met their deaths
while engaged in digesting or
swallowing fish not much in-
ferior or even superior in size
to themselves.

The first peculiarity was ac-
counted for by the fact that if
those fishes really inhabited the
great depths supposed, their re-
moval from the enormous pres-
sure under which they lived
would be accompanied by such
and expansion of the gases
within their tissues as to rup-
ture them and to cause a separa-
tion of the parts which had been
held together by the pressure.
The second circumstance is ex-
plained by the fact that a fish
organized to live at a depth of
between 500 and 800 fathoms
seizes another fish usually in-
habiting a depth of between 300
and 500 fathoms. The latter
fish struggles to escape and car-
ries the attacking fish out of its
depth into a higher stratum,
where the diminished pressure
causes such an expansion of
gases as to make the destroyer
with its victim rise with in-
crasing rapidity towards the
surface, which they reach in
dead or dying condition. Speci-
mens in this condition are often

found and therefore occurrences
of the kind must happen very
often.

Deep-sea fishes are not limited
in their, range, consequently,
physical conditions of the depths
of the ocean must be the same
or nearly the same all over the
globe. The deep-sea fishes are
not of a peculiar order, but

chiefly modified forms of sur-|

face types. Nothing was known
of the exact depths inhabited by
those fishes until observations
were made during the voyage of
H. M. S. “Challenger”. These
results showed that deep - sea
fishes inhabited the strata from
200 fathoms, as the Melam-
phaes, to 2650 fathoms, as the
Coryphaenoides filicauda.

The recent death of Madison
Edwards, chaplain of Sea-
mans Bethel at Vineyard Haven,
has caused much grief among
those who knew him here. He
was born in Woods Hole, and
observed his 74th birthday on
August 13th. For half a century,
wherever New England ships
have sailed, he has been well
known and greatly loved, and
he has spent 33 years of devoted
service to sailors.

He was at the Boston Sea-
mans Friend Society for a few
years, and then instituted a
Seamans Bethel at Tarpaulin
Cove, where he remained
charge for five years. He went
to Vineyard Haven in 1893, and
passed away at his home there
on August 15th. He was the
son of Capt. Ben and Mary L.
Edwards. His father was the
first buoy setter on the New
England coast. He is survived
by his wife, two daughters and

a son. His daughter Mrs. Austin
Ta Faee is assistant chaplain of
the Bethel. His other daughter
is Miss Mary Edwards of Booth-
bay, Me., and his son Howard
Edwards of Oak Bluffs.

Dr. and Mrs. P. W. Whiting
of Orono, Maine have just
returned to Woods Hole. Dr.
Whiting , head of the Depart-
ment of Biology at the Univer-
sity of Maine, and his wife, who
also has her Ph. D. are carrying
out research in genetics there.

Prof. J. M. Bronsted, from the
Polytechnic Institute of Copen-
hagen, Denmark, has been lec-
turing on Chemistry at Colum-
bia University during the last
week, and has just arrived in
Woods Hole for a short vacation.

Mr. George A. Plimpton, the
well-known publisher is visiting
Woods Hole. He has been con-
nected with Ginn & Co. since
1882, and is at the pesent time
trustee of Amherst College. Dr.
Plimpton has the largest collec-
tion of text books from the
earliest date of printing, and
medieval manuscripts of an edu-
cational character, in the world.
Some time ago he donated a
library of first editions of nearly
every Italian writer along with
the original manuscripts to Wel-
lesley College.

Dr. David H. Tennent, form-
erly on the Embryology Investi-
gation staff of the Laboratory
and at present professor of Bio-

logy at Bryn Mawr College, has |

recently returned to Woods Hole.

quibo dolphin and a line giant

pictures of peripatus, giant tree
snails, fresh water sting rays,
tree frogs of startling color and
Hoatzins were of special inter-
est.

A slight shudder went
through the audience when Dr.
Fish showed slides of the Red
Howler monkey and the iguana,
relating the while their place on
the menu of the laboratory
workers. The writer, however,
can personally attest their palat-
ability, especially when served a
la Kartabo.

Dr. Fish was anxious to com-
pare the biological opportunities
elsewhere in British Guiana
with those at Kartabo and made
use of a canvas covered canoe to
go 225 miles into the interior
ultimately reaching Kaieteur
Falls on the Potaro River. Here
a stream some 400 feet wide

and 20 feet deep drops perpen- |

dicularly 741 feet (five times as
high as Niagara) into a gorge
which extends down stream
some 50 miles between parapets
1200 feet high.

Above these falls there are
‘small savannah-like open spaces
in the midst of the rain forest.
The smaller trees and shrubs
bring the flowers and conse-
quently the insects of the tree-
tops down to the ground where
they can be studied in a way
which is impossible in the deep
jungle for there one sees few
flowers on the ground.

Dr. Fish related the excellence
ef health conditions in that part
cf the colony and one can easily
imagine the enthusiasm of any
worker when it is possible, ,as
happened in one instance, to
collect 100 species of lepidoptera
in four hours, many of them un-
described. ‘

To The Investigators of The Marine Biological Laboratory:

As you no doubt know, we recently exhibited some of our
apparatus at Woods Hole. Perhaps you were one of the very busy
people who were unable to attend the exhibit, or perhaps you were
not able to examine some of our apparatus as carefully as you
would have liked.

We announced and exhibited for the first time an entirely new
line of apochromatice objectives. We are very proud of these ob-
jectives and justly so. Several authorities haye pronounced them

to be ‘fat least the equal of any objectives I Fave ever examined”.
We are offering the following apochromatic objectives:
Cat. No. Focus Num. Aperture Price
150 16 mm 0.30 $26.00
152 8 mm 0.60 39.00
154 4 mm 0.95 52.00
156 38 mm 0.95 56.00
158 2 mm. 1.30 69.00
159 2 mm. 1.40 100.00
160 1.5 mm. 1.30 90.00
161 3 mm. 1.30, 69.00
162 3 mm. 1.40 100.00

We also are offering a 3 mm. water immersion achromatic ob-
jective with a numerical aperture of 1.10. This is an exceptionally
well corrected objective of unusual brilliance. The price is $30.00.

Our new Rotary Microtome No. 815 attracted considerable at-
tention. This microtome is patterned after our No. 820 precision
rotary microtome, which has been the standard for so many years.
This new microtome will consistently cut sections from 2 to 40
microns in thickness in multiples of 2 microns. The price, $175.00.

The new combination binocular-monocular body, the universal
binocular microscope with its great range of magnification and un-
equaled stereoscopic vision, the new fork type substage and many
other older standard instruments received their full share of atten-
tion.

We will be very pleased to send literature describing any of our
various products, or if you desire we will be glad to send our
products themselves on approval, in order that you may have an
opportunity to thoroly test them.

We at all times try to be of service.

MOTOR REGULATIONS

The following information is
given for the benefit of workers
from other states, planning to
bring automobiles to Woods
Hole for the next season:

Persons keeping cars in the
Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts for periods of less than
thirty days will not require li-
censes either for the machine or
operator, provided that they are
registered in a state granting
similar privileges to Massachu-
setts cars. Persons staying over
this period must secure both
types of license.

Beginning January first next|
no motor vehicle can be regis-
tered in Massachusetts without
submitting proof of liability se-
curity with the application.
Three types of security are rec-
ognized as adequate, (1) the or-
dinary Liability Insurance Pol-,
icy with at least ten thousand |
dollar limit, (2) a surety Bond
in the sum of ten thousand dol-
lors or (38) a deposit of five
thousand dollars in cash or se-|
curities with the Division of
Highways. It is specified that
the Insurance or Bonding Com-
panies must be authorized to do|
business in Massachusetts to be
acceptable. Under the amended
Act judgment may be taken
against the owner of a car so
registered for all damages in-
curred by anyone operating the
car with his “expressed or im-
plied consent”’, as well as when
he himself is operating.

dropping,
Falling, shooting, © pounding,
bounding,
Roaring, spraying, spreading,
floating!

Swirling mist-clouds darting, leaping,
Hazy vapours cloaking, drench-
ing,
Lifting, rising, soaring, drifting,
Cleaning, cooling, thinning,
clearing!

On August 20th the coast
guard Base 291 went to the res-
cue of a yacht which had run
on Great Ledge. The yacht was
