appears to have drop ped completely out of history accor i- irg to professor charles schuchcrt cf ysie univusity in a report issued by tee national research council search the world over has failed to reveal the slightest clue to the er rant millenniums during which some of the most momentous events in the history of life on earth occurred the pages of rock on which the long story of life was written before man began to recoid events seems to have been torn cut nd thrown away for this period the record of time prof schuchert explains runs back in fairly gojd order through the period known as cambrian time about 500oooooc years ago then there was abundant life in the great oceans many of the creatures had hard shells they died sank to the bottom and were buried in the mud through the millenniums the seas disappeared the bottom mud became rock and was raised up nto mountains mollusc days the fossils of the sea creatures were embedded in the rock so that geolo gists today know what they looked like and what families they belongd to some of them were relatively enor mous creatures measuring from six to eight inches they represent practi cally all the divisions of the animal kingdom now found in the seas except those with backbones such as fish mammals and reptiles seen in a museum exhibit today these lords of creation a half billion years ago look like very primitive creatures but they arc probaoly closer to the highest developed forms of life today than to the most complex forms which preceded them and of which there is record just behind them lie the lost millenniums during which animal life was beginning to take on the evolutionary processes which resulted in the mammals of many millions of years later in the next oldest known rocks prof schuchert says there have been found traces of some primitive housewife what do you work at my poor man tramp at intervals madam with first salesman meeting much sales resistance lately second salesman yes i ran into three brooms and two bulldogs yes terday new method devised to oust plum btles entomologists of the united states lcpartmcnt of agriculture havo de vised a simple and effective jarring sheet for use under peach trees to collect plum curculio beetles jariing the pests from the trees in the spring and destroying them has long been iccommended as a supplementary con trol measure but the new

of unbleached cotton 15 feel long mak ing a sheet 9 by it feet in dimensions they put small holes 10 feet long through a hem in each of tho 9foot ends to facilitate handling and put a ropo through a hem on each of the other sides fastening the ends of the rope to the polej then they stretch ed a chain across the centre of the top of the sheet parallel with the poles to weight it down in the middle j when ready to collect the curculios they place two sheets under a tree one on each side and jar the large imls of tho tree with a pole padded j on the end with a piece of automobile oro i animals had used lime they certainly would have been recovered by this time this absence of skeletons is all the more astonishing since it would seem that there must have been an abundance of animals feeding on other animals and on plants now he points out it must have taken a very long time for animals to have learned to make skeletons cither shell or bones consequently the cambrian creatures and the crawl ing worms of the next oldest rocks cannot have touched each other in time so- he says lipalian time stands for the unrecovered interval during which the marine animals evolved mostly from very small floating and swimming forms without exterior skeletons into ihe much larger and highly diversified life of the cambrian how long lipalian time lasted can only be gucssei since we have no guidance at all from radioactive min erals or from rates f organic evolu tion there was no more fundamental evolution during the whole of the paleozoic period the time of the be ginning of life than is indicated by this interval and we have guessed its duration to be of the order cf 30l- 000000 years to be on the safe sde in our table we have allowed only half as much time and the future alone can tell how near our guess is to the truth the evolution of living creatures prof schuchert points out in his re port on the possibility of determining the age of the earth irom fossils avd from the thickness of rocks laid jown by sedimentation appears to have gone on at such a variable rate throughout history that it is a very unreliable guide to elapsed time thus certain sea shells now living can be traced back practically with out change for 400000000 years and tho race shows no signs of degenerat ing through old age on the other land snail shells in an artificial lime created irk

ways are equally unaccountable to us- suppose i set down a few of the customs observed during a brief stay in the united states which sem strange to a japanese it is early morning in a typical american home you are resting on soft pillows and spring beds we are different even while we sleep since in japan people lie on hard beds and rest their heads on firm pillows those t sed by the women encased in wooden sheaths presently you awake ycu sit up and stretch yourselves facing the foot of the bed as we in japan rise we makea turn so that when we stretch ourselves we have our faces turned in the pposite direction o- ward the pillow in brushing your teeth you devote as little time as pos sible to the undertaking our coun trymen take as long as possible in fact it is not uncommon for a japan ese of the lower classes to be seen out en a mornings work in the neighbor hood of his hom2 brushing his teeth after washing your faces you use a dry towel w wipe our faces with a moist towel as the typical american fanily is about to sit down o breakfast the mistress of the house may call to her husband harry wont yon run up stairs and bring me something to put over my shouldirs and harry runs up in a japanese family mr sato would be sitting at the breakfast table while his wife was still busy in he kitchen as she carne into the dining room mr sato might call out rsn up will you and fetch my glasses mrs sato would obediently inston upstairs yes it seems we do things in exact ly the opposite way even to saying grace in american homes if grace is said it is before food that is eaten by the living in japan prayers arc recited only before food that is prof fered to the dead and when wc say grace wc have our faces turned up while you pray with your faces turned down american and european wo men in mourning wear black dresses whereas in japan women wear only white during this sad period on the other hand black is the conventional costume worn at weddings in japan your people develop love before marriage and it very frequently hip- pens that this love grows less intense as the months pass after the cere mony our people frequently develop love only after the marriage

our after dinner speeches are made before dinner in japan people will wait hours drinking tea- before commencing to eat but will leave as soon as the meal is over in i western countries people object to waiting for their meals but will stay for hours after their meals drinking coffee in the occident people are supposed to eat all that is on their plates this is bad taste in nippon you stand as a sign of respect but in japan it is disrespectful to stand one must always sit on the floor in greet ing a guest again in america it is regarded as undignified to have no furniture in a com in japn it is undignified to have furniture in a room we differ not only in our actions but in the way in which we look at things for instance a europcm visitor to nippon finds a litter of in- wanted puppiesleft in the bushes he cannot help protesting against such cruelty on the other hand when a japanese hears that in western coun tries unwanted pups are killed he will ask how docs any one know that the helpless puppies prefer to die told that it is better for the puppies to be painlessly put to death than to be left irt the bushes where their chance of keeing alive is very small indied hc is certain to ask why then are not faminestricken people in china killed painlessly take the case of aged people elder ly folk in america generally do not live with their grownup children ir japan the children out of considera tion for their parents prefer suffering a little discomfort often it is a great deal of discomfort to having their parents live apart from them another matter in which the jap anese dftcr is in smiling when thjy are reprimanded this has caused a great deal of misunderstanding be tween foreign employers and japan ese employes almost as much mis understanding as the japanese custom of actually saying no when yes is meant and vice versa visitors to japan frequently fin it dificult to keep from laughing out right on observing somctf the ridicu lous tfngs we do in an effort to affect western ways this is especially true in the case of english signboards ladies have fits inside you may lead over a drtssmakers shop or have yitvjr head cut here cer a tarber shop when the first train was run be tween tokyo and yokohama the late meiji emperor attended the memor able ceremony to be in keeping with the wave of westernization that thsn swept the country the emperor plan ned to ride to the station in a horse- drawn carriage rather than in the court palanquin the only difficulty in using a carriage was to find a suitable- livery for the driver after a search in the official wardrobe a foreign gar ment was discovered which seemed to answer very well it was dignified had buttons and decorative stripes and was said to have been bought at n foreign auction in yokohama so his majesty rode in his new carriage and all seemed well to japanese eyes- but it was difficult for foreigners among the spectators to keep from laughing- and naturally so the driver was in i pajamas j but there are things in america i which seem just as ridiculous to jap- anese eyes for instance in new york recently when i happened to be walking on fifth avenue 1 beheld a sight which almost caused me to hold my sides lest 1 burst from laughter for what should 1 behold in midday and in the very heart of the greatest city in the world but an american woman pridcfully walking along wearing a dark
