about 25,000,000 years ago, has re-

bodied, plant, or mollusk eating ani-
mal which lived in the uplands of
Texas in the geological period fol-
lowing the formation of coal," said
Professor Case, yesterday. "Its chief
peculiarity is the long spines furnish-
ed with crosspieces which protrude
from - its back. Cope, the scientist,
likened these cross bars to the yar-

"Naosaurus," or "ship-lizard."
The work of mounting, owing to its
difficulty took W. H. Buettner prepa-

AMERICANS ERECT
BELGIAN VILLAGE
Paris, May 7.- 'American generos-
ity has made possible the erection of
a Berlin village at Sanvic near Havre
.and to that generosity our compatrio's
will owe the hospitality which will
alleviate the hardships of exile," says
the Courrier de L'armee a publication
officially recognized by the Belgian
Government as the organ of the Bel-
gian army.
There is probably not a city in1
France which is as congested as
Havre and the problem of housing the
surplus population and the Belgian
government which has made that city
its temporary home, became acute.
Then the American Red Cross,
through its representatives to the Bel-
gian government, Major Ernest P.
Bicknell and Major John van Schaick,
came to the rescue. It was decided that
a Belgian village which would be ex-
clusively inhabited by Belgian re-
fugees should be built. The neces-
sary funds were immediately forth-
coming, a site was chosen at Sanvic a
few miles from Havre, the ground was
broken, and already cottages stand
where a few weeks ago there was a
vacant field. The work will be com-
pleted in June and the village will be
ready to receive its hundreds of Bel-
gian refugees.
The dwelling will comprise from
two to four rooms, they will be sur-
rounded by .gardens and everytkings
possible will be done to give them a
cheery and homelike aspect.
Two schools will be erected, a co-
operative store operated, and a mater-
nity hospital founded. A large build-
ing will be used as a meeting place
and festival hall on holidays.
The village will administer its own
affairs under the direction of an elec-
tive chief.

BOTANY SPREADS FIELD MATE-
RIALLY IN RECENT
YEARS
(y Prof. F. C. Newcombe)
Botany is no longer confined to the
study of flowers. It is introductory
to medicine, pharmacy, and forestry,
and finds its experts in the broad
fields of agriculture, commerce, and
industry. Along with physics, chem-
istry, and the other fundamental na-
tural sciences, botany, by its observa-
tional and experimental methods, is
offering the readiest means to an un-
derstanding of natural law and pro-
gressive evolution, the significance of
which is so essential to the best pur-
suit of even such apparently distant
studies as political economy, philol-
ogy, and law. The preemnently edu-
cational function of science is found
in its laboratory study; and no edu-
cated man of the future can afford to
go through college without laboratory
work in some science to give him a
concrete illustration of the structure
and relation of things.
Science Methods Similar
Undoubtedly, there is a natural apt-
itude for the study of 'science. The
methods are so similar in the various
natural sciences, that one may say
that in general a good astronomer or
a good chemist would have made a
good biologist. One who in childhood
is fond of the fields and woods and the
things that live therein and desires
to know their relations certainly dis-
plays a natural aptitude for the study
of biology. Given this natural. apti-
tude, the highway to professional suc-
cess is a well beaten path that cannot
be mistaken. The goal is reached
through hard work, aided by a good
imagination, logical reasoning, and
fundamental honesty.
The student who chooses teaching as
his profession will find opportunity to
practice his profession in school or
college acctdrding to his ability and
proficiency.
Speialists In Agriculture
For the immediate future, however,
the number of botanical specialists
going into agriculture and industry
will far outnumber those in teaching.
The technical fields may be indicated
by naming the occupations to which
botanical students and staff menbers
have gone from this University with-
in the past 12 months: Custom house
inspection of imported plants, changes
in nutritive value of fruits and veg-
etables during transportation, changes
in fruits and vegetables during cold
storage, changes in fruits and
vegetables during canning and
storage, improvement of varieties of
cultivated plants, production of varie-
ties immune to disease, remedies for
plant diseases disinfection of farm
seeds to increase the yield, eradica-
tion of plants that, harbor diseases,
testing wood used for airplane pro-
pellers.-
Government Employs Experts
The bureau of plant industry at
Washington employs thousands ,of
botanical experts; the experiment sta-
tions, federal horticultural board, and
other departments of government, oth-
er thousands. Great as are these agri-
cultural and industrial fields now,
they are certain to be vastly enlarged.
Soon every food and forage crop in
every district will have its plant dis-
ease expert, as the sugar fields of Ha-
waii and the banana plantations of
Central America now have their ex-
perts. The war is enlarging te field
by leaps and bounds. The industries
for ripening, transporting, stpring and
preserving fruits and vegetables; the
fermentation industries; the dye in-
dustries; the industries for extracting
oils, perfumes and drugs; and the fi-
ber industries will each offer attrac-
tive work for the professional botan-
ist.
