The Every Day Bookshelf The jungles of British Guiana have sent to Tennessee. and ‘all other points where evolution is a moot question. an invitation to come and study life at its simple begin- nings. The invitation is extended in "Jun- gle Days" (Putnam). through Wil- liam lleelie. the scientist-explorer- natllrnlist-writer. who has just sail- ed the super-science ship Arcturus through the fabled Sargasso Sea, thence to Galapagos and .1 new Hail to the Guiiins wild lands. From these points he has issued from time to time reports of intriguing new discoveries in the plant. animal and insect world. Beebe promises to show to all de- sirous of undertaking this jungle journey—a female bird who out.- lemizlizes the feminists in her mod- ernistic attitude toward affairs and . whose siren-song may have popular- ized some such jungle slogan as "Notes for women!" Also he will show you adventures in life and death which parallel the cycles of oiher forms—including man: he will show you the miracle of a single roach which disappears from life leaving 50 offspring and an empty husk: or you may watch the simple. yet intricate evolution of g certain grub or find fascinating evidence of the beginnings of mind in apes. Appearing JUSt‘lS the Tennessee evolution trial has started most of the country talking about this sub- ject, Beebe's book is marked by timely; commentaries. . Watching upon his jungle table the evolving of the grub he antici- pated William Jennings Bryan's now famous denial of mammalian line with this comment: " There were present two stages of amphibians. a, bird. a reptile and (unless an inter- vening act of the legislature bars this fact as immoral) two man-- msls.” He continues: "So passed a week with the little silent mummies un- changed; seven days — sufficient time. Biblically speaking. for. the creation of the world. But just as all the glorious truth and beauty of evolution is concealed within the metaphor of Genesis. so hidden from our groping senses. miracles of change were being wrought with- in a butterfly's egg." ‘ And. writing .1 the various mon- key families among which he lived --the ballast-logs. the Cspuehina and the Beesas. he" adds: "We laugh at their comic little faces and ways and. if we are incur- ably fanatic or quite egocentric. or fearful of what comes after death. we indignantly deny all past kinship of a common ancestor. "On the other hand. if we love truth and have a sense of humor, we.recogniaa that these little jungle folk have just missed being human orwaik ' l .H r .u Z "I ' ; sooth“ \\ we. ' \ BE SURE TO GET ENOUGH SLEEP To keep a healthy body one must have proper sleep. For the purpose of sleep is to re- ,cuperste. renew and renovate our . bodily forces. so as 'to restore them to normal tone as much as possible. Sleep is due to a fall of general ar- terial pressure accompanied by a diminution of the quality of blood passing ‘through the brain. , Relaxation of the tense m ties and rest of brain and nerve cells are nature‘s intent by means of sleep. An infant during its first six months should sleep about twenty hours daily. This period should gra- dually lessen until at two years of age. the child should not exceed six- teen or_ssventeen hours of aleep daily. ‘ . Between this and the fourth year. fourteen hours is abandant. while between the fourth and ninth year. time should be reduced to twelve hours or less. Between the age of fifteen and seventeen years .ten hours' sleep is cd‘nsidered essential. After this. dur- ing life. eight hours' sleep is almost universally considered as the safe period that may be devoted to slum- ber daily. ‘Too much sleep is lniurious. for sleep means inactivity. and inactivity enfsebles. \. ‘m‘ I ‘ Ci . .t, J: ,. .gh t ‘ ' . .

Yet this will he a happier and healthier. to say noth- ing of a wiser. world. if the research to be defrayed by this tux i the coming year turns out we so ully. Twenty-seven projects are to be undertaken. Here are some of them: Professor Walter F. Dearborn is to but“! a study of the physical and mental development of school chil— drop. This is to be done by annual. measurements of several thousand Bt'lli'Ol children. This work is to ex- 2tend over a long period of years so that complete records from entry to graduation will be had for each child. This record is expected to yield important information upon which improvements in curriculum and school methods? can be made; Dr. Adeibert Fernaid .is to under— take' the perfection of measuring in- struments for ascertaining the nat- ural development of normal bone growth in children from birth to the age of 12. This will make it possible to de- tect abn'ormal or subnormal growth more quickly and make the treat- ment more accurate and reliable. Professor Albert Sauveur is to sm- bark upon a study of the causes of corrosion in iron and steel. Such by some very little accident. being. but for the grace of sidetracking. ourselves. And while we swagger upright and think of our brains with complacency. are we sure that all the advantage is on our side? "Their Joy of climbing. balance and swaying limbs pass with boy. hood "for us.

We gaps and applaud thou of us who dare. upon the tight rope and tra- monkey would smack her child for bungling." Beebe presents a fascinating the- ory that it was at the mirrored imags of himself in the water that some spe first stopped to ponder and thus raised a primitive perplexlty that was to sow the seed for what became thought. and that it was some mlscast and delicate specbten who had somehow escaped the usual tisath sentence upon the Jungle's unfit who began the line to higher pese. feats which any self-respecting. | surveys mils - FOR» CHILDREN 1 The world's most delicate balance at the Bureau of Standards labora- tory. e corrosion costs the world millions of dollars each year. . 0 O O A tern-millionth of an ounce isn‘t very much. But it is easily detected with one of the delicate balances at the U. 8. Bureau of Standards. The difficulties of weighing to such accuracy are enormous. If the tem- perature of one pan of the balance is higher or lower-than’the other by a ten-thousandth of a deg‘ree. the unequal expansion of the pans will destroy the accuracy of the weigh- ng. . As a result the delicate balance is in a room by itself. The object tobs weighed is placed upon the pan the day before the weighing is done. Then no one enters the room lest the heat of his body or the air cure rents set up by his movements (is- stroy the temperature equilibrium. The weights are put on and of! the other pan by a system of lovers operated from an adjoining room and the position of the pointer is read through a small telescope.

July 28—Wailed in by the high fences of a. big city with its eminent edifices dwarflng those who live among‘ them. the beauty of the outdoors is ever calling. The imagination is stirred with visions of hills. and verdure. and all the animate life of the outdoors. . And this vision frequently ob- scures the beauty that lies in any large city. Great gray walls. bricks and steel and smoke and grime that. oppress the spirit by day are con- verted into things of fantastic beau- ty by the alchemy of night. Stand upon Brooklyn Bridge after dusk and the great cables become a netted curtain and beyond them the towering buildings hang like em- broiderles against the sky. lighted windows becoming grotesque de- signs in open work. In the stream below a tug. soiled and smoky and awkward by day. passes with its ugly lines softened in the dusk. its stream and mist float- ing like a silver veil about it. its soft chug-chug giving it the pulse of life. In the farther and dimmer reaches of the harbor long. black shapes qrdbp out from the shadows ind show little lights like eyes of living things prowling about. As they become closer and more dis. tinct they are seen to be long barges towed by a tug far in advance. The crescent of the new moon is perchod on the tip of the Wool- worth Towsr. a religious symbol. as it were of the ecclesiastical beauty of that magnificent cathedral of commerce. Two lovers stroll along hand in hand. weaving their way through shadow cost by the great struts and beams of the bridge. Through their romantic eyes this is as true a Lover‘s,1.ane as though it were lined with giant trees casting their canopy of branches above. And over the whole scene there is a soothing calm that beguilethhe restless wayfarer into forgetting the lurid lights and sights of Broadway. the artificiailiiy of the life about him. And the mirage of trees and hills and the call of the open are blotted out by the reality of a beauty close at hand. Julius Tannen. master of pere- monie's for a new revue. is fast he- eomlng one of the most popular comedians on Broadway. although he has been well known in . the theatre world for years. ,He pos- sesses the faculty of making extem-. peraneeus wit appear easy. He talks along casually and seems not to point my one sentmce for comic effect. yet there is a laugh in almost evary.line he speaks. As an extent. poransous commentator on current happenings he is a smoother wit than Will Rogers. Here is a sample of a Tannen monologue: "I was walking along Fifth ave- nue this afternoon. noticing the women's styles and they were rather easy to see through. I found.
