Professor Clark punches a tiny hole in the ear of a rabbit, similar to the holes which women used to pierce through their ears for earrings. In the hole he puts a double window. One pane is of glass or celluloid, the other of thin mica. The panes are 1/2,000 in. apart. So soon as the window is in place, the rabbit's ear begins to heal. Blood vessels, nerves, cells, all the appurtenances of living flesh work their way between the panes. When the rabbit is fastened so that the ear hole can be placed beneath...
Working with Dr. Clark on his rabbit's ear "window" has been Eleanor Linton Clark, 42, his wife. They married in 1911, when he was associate professor of anatomy at Johns Hopkins. Ever since she has been a "private investigator in anatomy" and his immediate assistant wherever he has taught-Johns Hopkins (1907-14), University of Missouri (1914-22), University of Georgia (1922-26), University of Pennsylvania (since 1926). She is one of the few women recognized by American Men of Science. The Clarks are one of the very few couples who jointly have attained scientific eminence. Another such...

The State Fish & Game Commission of New Jersey last fortnight announced that it had ordered 20,000 Western cottontails to replace unfortunate Eastern cottontails run over by automobiles.

They either race in front of the automobile or squat down in the highway. Although New York's wild rabbit death rate is as high as New Jersey's, New York plans this year to stock only with...
...FIFTEEN RABBITS - Felix Salten - Simon & Schuster ($1). Mild, somewhat poetic, this exceedingly simple book presents a vision of rabbit life as the Viennese author of Bambi sees it. As in Bambi, which was deer life poeticized, all the birds & beasts of the forest-and finally even the trees- converse freely together in a rather flat idiom, and the majority eat each other with relish and frequency. That, with the doings of sundry hunters, forms the background, foreground and action of the story...
