...tree is known by its fruits; not by the showy flowers of promise or the occasional defect in bud or branch, but by the normal harvest through the running of the years?and the harvest of the Republican party and leadership is faithfully reflected in the matchless growth and fadeless glory of the Republic...
...have invariably proved productive. Now, marine life has been found in water drawn from some of these wells-small crabs, fish and shellfish. They are not blind or otherwise abnormally evolved to meet subterranean conditions, as are some of the animals found in Mammoth Cave. But they belong to normal surface species known to inhabit the lakes of Palestine. The excavators are puzzled, but advance the theory that the whole of North Africa is underlain by a subterranean sea, 300 feet beneath the surface, connected by passageways with bodies of water beyond Suez...

...particular interest to the public was the report of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals. It was pointed out that the number of medical schools in the U. S. now represents a normal supply, and is sufficient to meet easily the demands for physicians in the U. S. Eighty per cent of the schools are integral parts of universities. The number of students enrolled during the past year was 17,808, the largest number since 1912, when the higher entrance requirements went into effect generally.

...Abbot, of the Smithsonian Institute, announced his measurements of the diminution in the sun's heat. His results have been independently corroborated by Herbert J. Browne, a Washington meteorologist, who finds that the solar constant, the unit of measurement of solar heat, has declined from a normal of between 1.94 and 1.98 to 1.90 in the past two years. This has lowered the temperature of the open oceans all over the world about 4½ degrees F. If this heat loss should become only twice as great, it is estimated that the permanent polar ice cap would descend over...
