W HEN Bausch & Lomb designed the DDE, * placing the arm at the front, an
instrument was made available to the research scientist that was truly revolutionary. This construction brought greater convenience by allowing free access to the stage, objectives, substage and mirror. It brought comfort, be- cause the inclined binocular body tube gives relief from neck and eye strain. The speci- men is always viewed with the stage horizontal.
The DDE is complete in every respect. It is possible to direct all light into the right eye- piece by a quarter turn of an adjustment button. It can be quickly transformed into a monocular instrument for photomicrography by changing body tubes. The complete substage is equipped with a supplementary condenser which can be swung into position when changing from high to low power, eliminating the necessity of changing the focus of the condenser.
*Su'ggestions of Drs. L. [V. Sharp and W Write for catalog D-164, which will give L. F. Randolph of Cornell University. you a complete description of the DDE.

Regius Professor of Physic in the University of Cambridge. Physician-in-Ordinary to H.M. The King.
Sometime President of the Royal College of Physicians.
T4HE method followed in this work is to sieze the prevalent ideas of each age of medicine with some notes on the public health, to present
them with due regard to the colour of the age, and ruthlessly to ignore minor names. What the writers have cared about is that the reader should put the volume down with a clear idea of the progress of medicine and some notions on that of hygiene.
The book is generously illustrated with a frontispiece in colour and 64 plates (including ioo illustrations) all taken from contemporary material. Full historical notes and references printed on separate leaves in connection with each plate add greatly to the interest and value of the illustrations. A careful index and a short book list are included.

By Richard L. Sutton, M.D., Sc.D., LL.D., F.R.S. (Edin.), Professor of Dermatology, University of Kansas; Fellow of the Royal Geographi- cal Society; Member of the French Geographical Society, etc.

Dr. R. L. Sutton cloth, gold stamping, with special jacket in colors, postpaid, $5.00.
Says William Allen White, famous Editor of the Emporia Daily Gazette: "Here are two men in one body, each sustaining the other. Unless the doctor left his task, abandoned his daily care for agonized humanity for a time in each decade, he would soon find himself frayed to tatters. Unless the hunter came home from the hill he would soon, become callous and dull. But because two men, great-hearted brothers, live in one body, balancing each other, supplying each other's wants, sustaining each other's faiths, a great man has been built up under the name of Richard L. Sutton."
Ponce de Lee6n discovered Florida while seaching for the fountain of youth. Ap- parently, Dr. Sutton discovered the fountain of youth while searching Africa and Asia for adventure. At the age when most men are looking forward to an easy chair in front of the library fire, this indefatigable sportsman does not hesitate to pack up his cameras and rifles and trek to the uttermost corners of the earth.
Soldier, sailor, physician, teacher, big game hunter, and explorer, honored by Uni- versities at home and learned societies abroad, of him it can truly be said that despite the grinding drudgery of almost endless professional labors, he has never lost his hold on romance, or his zest for adventure.
His keen observation of the habits and reactions of prirnitive peoples, his love of clean sport, his thrilling experiences with big game of all sorts, these will be found mirrored here in the inimitable English of this versatile master of craft.
11A special feature of these books is the large number of original photographs used. Thousands of photos were taken and the best of these reproduced. The books are beautifully printed and handsomely bound, with special jackets reproduced from original oil paintings in colors.
We will be glad to send these books with bill to any- one mentioning this journal. They will be sold singly at above prices, or if all three are ordered at one time a special group price of $9.00 will be made.

DR.. H. S. JENNINGS Henry Walters Professor of Zoology and Director of the Zoological Laboratory in The Johns
Hopkins University
Price, postpaid, $4.00
Dr. Jennings presents in his book those aspects of modern experimental biology that are of most interest in considering the problem of human personality and society. He deals with the origin, development and nature of the traits which distinguish individuals, and which in man make up character.

Professor of Anatomy and Director of the Anatomical Laboratories and the Experiimental Morphology Farm in the Cornell University Medical College

Professor of Entombology in Harvard University
Price, postpaid, $5.00
Dr. Wheeler, one of the most eminent living entomologists, writes here an ex- haustive and informative study of ant-lions and worm-lions, giving his own observations and conelusions as to their biological significance.

EVERY TIME you telephone you share the bene- fits of a nation-wide communication system using eighty million miles of wire and employ- ing four hundred thousand people. It repre- sents a plant investment of more than four thousand million dollars, yet you can use a part of it for as little as five cents .. for considerably less on a monthly service basis.
The organization that makes efficient tele- phone service possible is called the Bell System, yet it is as truly yours as if it were built spe- cially for you. For every telephone message is a direct contact between you and the person you are calling.
At any hour of the day or night, the tele- phone stands ready and waiting to carry your voice to any one of twenty million other tele- phone users in this country. It knows no rest
or sleep, or class or creed. All people-every- where-may use it equally. Its very presence gives a feeling of security and confidence and of nearness to everything.
Many times during the day or week or month, in the ordinary affairs of life and in emergencies, you see the value of the telephone and realize the indispensable part it plays in every business and social activity.
The growth of the Bell System through the past fifty-five years and the constant improve- ment in service may well be called one of the great achievements of this country. Greater even than that are the policies, improvements and economies that make this service possible at such low cost.
Of all the things you buy, probably none gives so much for so little as the telephone.
