Mussels Provide Proof Of Linking Of River Systems Clams don't talk, out mussels in Bertrand Russell, who will open a series of lectures here under the aus- pices of the Student Religious As- sociation on Saturday, Feb. 18, has won world-wide recognition as an author, scientist, philosopher and so- ciologist. Lord Russell, who is at present lec- Luring in the University of Chicago, has written numerous books and mag- azine articles on world problems, re- ligion, mathematics, science and phi- losophy. George Santayana said ,of him "Lord Russell's eye is mobile and accurate. It sweeps the universe like an intensely concentrated search- light." In his speech here he will deliver the first of flree lectures on "The Existence and Nature of God," tak- ing the agnostic position. He will also talk at 11 p.m. under the auspices of the philosophy department on "Sp ce in Contemporary Science and Philbsophy." Other speakers in the SRA series on "The Existence and Nature of God"are the Right Reverend Mon- seigneur Fulton J. Sheen and Dr. Reinhold Neibuhr. The former is professor of philosophy at Catholic University and will speak Feb. 24 presenting the view of orthodox Christianity.

The story told by the mussels pro- vides biological evidence of a form- er connection between the two southern rivers, contrary to the be- lief of geologists. Dr. Henry van der Schalie, University zoologist, found certain mussels ,native to the Ten- nessee drainage, in the Cahaba, a tributary of the Alabama river. Their presence there, he says, indicates that the two rivers were connected at some time in the past. Dr. van der Schalie's research seems to indicate that there were connections between the river sys- tems at two different times. Three species of mussels found only in Prof. Felix Frankfurter, Presi- dent Roosevelt's latest nominee toj the Supreme Court, assumed this lecture pose when he returned to his Harvard Law School classes, in Cambridge, Mass., for the first time since his nomination. creeks are common to both systems and thus indicate a connection of{ the headwaters. Seven species representative of somewhat larger streams are also common to both river systems.

John lme aley, '39, presided. midst of a series of rat experiments to determine causes and results of human learning. And all of the scientists who have; had contact with the tiny beasts in their work will profess that rats have personalities, biases, and a degree of mental 'agility comparable to human beings. There was one rat-"Old 100" he was named-who became legendary in the department until he died after a valuable life of three and one-half years. The professors praised him as Truck Drivers End Ti. ..~ T -. * is T Every precaution is taken toulimit the cues which the rats may use ill threading their way through the maze. One of the outstanding dif- ficulties is to prevent them from as- certaining their position by the sounds of their feet pattering on the runways.

An- other difficulty is to prevent the loss of rats thoug death from "snuffles." a kind of rat pneumonia.
