...subject of ventilation in college recitation rooms has been the theme of numberless complaints. These protests seem to have had little effect, however, as the air in many of the rooms continues abominable.

Naturalists have never been able satisfactorily to explain the regular migrations of birds. It does not seem probable that they are influenced by cold as they are so well protected by their thick covering of feathers and fat, and by a very rapid circulation. Then many of the most delicate birds spend the winter in the north and suffer no ill effects. Some naturalists explain...
