Abstract

Science

The article presents information from the world of science. The Zoological Society of London, England, has to its credit a long array of scientific Proceedings and Transactions well known the world over, but the Zoological Society of the U.S., owing to its work of preparing the Zoological Park for the public, has thus far published only its journal "Bulletin," popular in nature, and the in nature, and the quasi-Scientific articles in the Annual Report vol. 1. No. 1 of "Zoologica," the scientific publication of the society, has just appeared, containing a forty-page article on "Geographic Variation in Birds, With Special Reference to the Effects of Humidity," by C. William Beebe, curator of birds. Dr. Ephraim Cutter, widely known as a voluminous writer on medical subjects, and his son Dr. J.A. Cutter in the book "Food: Its Relation to Health and Disease," present some pertinent facts about foods and a large amount of opinion, much of it rather too subjective for general use.
