7IHE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC was founded in 1889 by the Director of the Lick Observatory , of the University of California. Membership is not
<S7 yoh,/ limited to professional astronomers, but is open to the amateur and layman as well. Its object is "To advance the Science of Astronomy and to diffuse information coIn-
cerning it". In the fifty-six years of its life, it has grown into a scientific organization of international reputation. Its bi-monthly "Publicationts" has become a periodical of the highest standing, in demand not only by the members but also by public libraries and libraries of higher educational institutions in the United States and abroad. It is especially of value as a reference work.
The Society also issues monthly Leaflets, giving informa- tion on live subjects in non-technical language. These have proved their value, for they are read with interest by professional astronomers as well as by laymen. Particular attention is called to their value to teachers of science in higher schools and colleges.
Institutions as well as individuals may enroll; the annual dues for membership are five dollars, entitling the member to the "Publications" and the Leaflets from date of enrollment. Additional information may be had by address- ing the Secretary, 129 Twenty-fourth Avenue, San Francisco 21, California
THE AMERICAN FERN SOCIETY Affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science
Uj The American Fern Society, originating in 1893 as the Lin- iiean Fern Clhapter of the Agassiz Association, is interested in promoting the study of ferns and fern-allies and in making available to interested students of this plant group the results of such studies. It also facilitates the exchange of specimens and information among its members. A regtular annual meeting is held in connection with the convocation of the A.A.A.S. A summer meeting is devoted to a field trip to interesting fern locations.
(j Membership, distributed throughout the United States and several foreign countries, is open to anyone interested in ferns. Annual dues, inclluding sub- scription to the JOURNAL, are $1.50; life membership, $25.00. The facilities of the herbarium and the library, including the loan of specimelns and books are available to all members.
(J The American Fern Journal, now in its thirty fifth volume, is a quarterly publication of from 140 to 160 pages a year, carrying articles of interest to both amateur and professional students.

Super-FM, made exclusively by RCA Victor, "soundproofs the air". . . eliminates static and other interferences.
RCA Super-FM... storms can he seen hut not heard
With RCA Victor Super-FM, a thun- derstorm becomes a "polite little shower." It can be seen, but never interrupts radio reception.
The first time you hear Super-FM (Frequency Modulation) you'll hard- ly believe your ears! For all static and other interferences are miracu- lously eliminated.
During a thunderstorm you can listeni to a delicate violin sonata- and think you're right in the broad- casting studio! Never before have your favorite symphonies, operas
and popular tunes sounded so col- orful, so full-ranged and so distinct on the radio!
The saine kind of "let's do it bet- ter" research that perfected Super- FM goes into all RCA products. And when you buy an RCA Victor Super-FM radio, or television set, or even a radio tube replacement, you will enjoy a unique pride of ownership in knowing that you pos- sess one of the finest instruments of its kind that science has achieved. * Listen to The RCA Show Sunday, 4:30 P.M., E.W.T., over NBC.
George L. Beers, Assistant Di- rector of Engineering for the RCA Victor Division, is shown here listening to the RCA Super-FM that he developed. Super-FM provides greater ease in tuning and a higher degree of selectivity as well as freedom from noise and interference.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF, SCIENCE
Founding and Organization
IN 1848, on September 20, the Association was formally organized and held its first meeting; in 1874 it was incorporated under the laws of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts and given the right to receive, purchase, hold and convey property. Its gov- erning body is a Council, now having 255 members,
The Association is national in scope, with member- ship open to the whole world on equal terms, and itE interests include the broad fields- of the natural and the social sciences. Its varied activities are carried on under 16 sections with which 189 affiliated and associated societies, having a combined membership of nearly a million, cooperate in organizing programs for its meetings.
Members and Meetings
All persons engaged in scientific work, all who find pleasure in following scientific discoveries, all who believe that through the natural and social sciences a better society may be achieved are eligible for mem- bership in the Association. From its founding, the most distinguished of American scientists, including every American Nobel Laureate in science and. every president of the National Academy of Sciences, have been members. The names of many university presi- dents, of eminent scholars in widely different fields,
and of men notable for public service, including a United States Senator, a Justice of the Supreme Court, and a former president of the United States, are now on its roll of more than 27,000 members.
The Association's meetings are field days of science attended by thousands of participants at which hun- dreds of scientists vie with one another for the plea- sure and the honor of presenting results of researches of the greatest benefit to their fellow men. An enlightened daily press reports their proceedings throughout the country.
Opportunity and Responsibility
A world torn by conflicts and fearful of the future is looking more and more toward scientists for leader- ship. The opportunity f or unparalleled service is theirs and the fact that they have available the only essentially new methods, if not purposes, imposes,an equal responsibility. For these reasons it will be the Association 's steadfast purpose to promote closer relationis among the natural and the social scientists, and between all scientists and other persons with similar aspirations, to the end that they together may discover means of attaining an orderliness in human relations comparable to that which they find in the natural world about them.

OUR leading article of March 1944 was entitled "Helios and Prometheus: A Philosophy of Agri- culture" by Pei-sung Tang, who was then in China serving as director of the Physiological Labora- tory, Agricultural Research Institute, National Tsing Hua University, Kunming. The manu- script had been sent to us by Dr. Tang's friend, C. K. Tseng of the Scripps Institution of Ocean- ography, La Jolla, Calif. Communication with China was difficult at that time and remains un- certain. We could not get a photograph of Dr. Tang to publish with his biographical sketch, and it was not until October 1944 that we heard from

NEW BOOKS* The Meaning of Relativity. ALBERT EINSTEIN. 135 pp. Illus. 1945. $2.00. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey.
Einstein's theory of relativity has long since ceased to be considered the personal possession of a select few and the re-issue of his own presentation for the general reader who has some understanding of modern physics and advanced mathematics serves again to emphasize the fact. This new edition has an added chapter that incorporates some advances that have been made in the theory of relativity since the first edition was published in 1922. If you have kept up on your mathematics anid physics, you can read it with pleasure.
Cinchona in Java. NORMAN TAYLOR. 87 pp. Illus. 1945. $2.50. Greenberg, Publisher, New York.
Although a laboratory method of synthesizing quinine has been announced, no practical commerical method of synthesis has been worked out. For some time there- fore, the world must rely on getting its quinine from its chief natural source, Cinchona. This illustrated book of eighty-seven pages tells interestingly the story of the discovery of quinine and its use to control the great scourge of malaria. As a disease not unknown to the United States, malaria and its eradication deserves the intelligent understanding of the public and this book fills an inportant place in gaining that understanding.
The Social Systems of American Ethnic Groups. Vol. III. W. LLOYD WARNER and LEO SROLE. 318 pp. Illus. 1945. $4.00. Yale University Press, New Haven.
This, the third volume of the Yankee City Series, focuses attention on the process of assimilation of minority groups into American social strata. It pre- sents a detailed picture of the changes that take place within specific ethnic groups, maintaining the outward forms of their old cultural traditions, but at the same time undergoing changes that make them more and more "American." Some of the social institutions examined include family groups, schools, churches, and social organizations.
The Governing of Men. ALEXANDER H. LEIGHTON. 404 pp. Illus. 1945. $3.75. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey.
That there is much to learn about governing minor- ities, particularly those of necessity held in segregated areas during wartime, is demonstrated by this clinical study of the Japanese Relocation Center in Poston, Arizona. *The author and his research staff lived in the camp and much of the material presented in the book was drawn from their official reports. Based on the research, a set of principles are formulated for dealing with people under conditions of stress. An appendix outlines the history of the project and techniques used by the research staff.
The Psychological Frontiers of Society. ABRAM IKARDINER et al. 475 pp. Illus. 1945. $5.00. Columbia University Press, New York.
This book presents the results of collaboration between anthropologists and psychologists in the analysis of three cultures: The Alorese in the Netherlands East Indies; the Comanche Indians in the southwestern United States; and ain American community on the fringe of the Middle West. Its objectives are to dis- cover the basic personality types in each of these cultures, how they were produced, and with what im- pact on the totality of the culture itself. The moduts operandi is to describe the social process by a technique which takes as its base line the mental and emotional equipment of a given society. The anthropological data thus gathered are in turn subjected to a psychodynami- cal analysis to determine whether or not individual (or basic) personalities are projective for future genera- tions of the society as a whole.

him. He enclosed a very small photograph of himself in a group of colleagues standing outside his mud-walled laboratory before it was bombed out. Thinking that this photograph would not reproduce well, we did not publish it. In May of this year we again got news of Dr. Tang; this time by means of a report written by Professor Wil- liam H. Adolph of Cornell from mimeographed information that had been sent to him by Dr. Tang. Dr. Adolph's report is published in "Sci- ence on the March" in this issue. With the report he sent a good photograph of Dr. Tang and of some of his colleaggues in their makeshift labora- tories. At first we did not see our way clear to use these photographs, and Dr. Adolph was disap- pointed. He wrote: "It was not easy for Dr. Tang to send these and there were painful war- time formalities that had to be complied with to insure their arrival in this country." Then we decided to publish some of the photographs in "Meet the Authors."
The photograph at the top of page iii is that of Dr. Tang, now 42 years old. He took his doctor- ate in plant physiology at Johns Hopkins in 1930 and did postdoctorate research in general physi-

The photograph of. the chemical laboratory shows Dr. Yin Hung- chang analyzing tung oil. The windows are
boarded for protection against theft and against the shattering of glass by bomnbs.
In the view of the library Dr. Tang is enjoying Life.
The last picture shows the water supply of the laboratory. Water is carried from a well to the lower tank by a coolie. It is then pumped by hand to the upper tank.
A BIOGRAPHICAL sketch of JOHN MILLS was given on page vi of the June 1945 SM in con- nection with his article on electronics. H i s photograph,' which was received too late for publication in June, is published here to accom- pany his 'present article on electrical communica- tion.
FOR the life history of DR. A. G. KELLER see page iii of the March 1945 SM. Again Dr. Keller ex- poses himself to criticisms that are always the lot of any outspoken social scientist. His intel- lectual feelings were heavily calloused long ago.
DR. F. B. SUMNER also was formally introduced in the March issue, although he was then a pillar of THE SCIENTIPIC MONTHLY. He and Dr. Keller are a pair of rugged Emeriti.

NEW BOOKS* Fact and Fiction in Modern Science. HENRY V. GILL, S. J. 136 pp. 1944. $2.50. Fordham Uni- versity Press, New York.
This is the first American edition of a book that ran through three successive editions in Eire. The author studied under Prof. J. J. Thomson in Cambridge's Caven- dish Laboratory and has had many years of lecturing and teaching. The publisher's foreword states that it was written to present the Catholic point of view on the important issues of latest scientific research. It bears the imprimatur of Archbishop John Carroll of Dublin.
Electromagnetic Engineering. Vol. I-Fundamen- tals. RONOLD W. P. KING. 580 pp. Illus. 1945. $6.00. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York.
The first volume of a projected three volume series covering the field of electro-magnetic engineering. The material represents an expansion of lectures given at the Cruft Laboratory of Harvard's Graduate School of Engineering. The principal sections are devoted to transmission lines, antennas, wave guides and wave propagation. Appendices include a bibliography, an in- dex of symbols and problems for each chapter of the text.
Ageing and Degenerative Diseases,Vol. XI, Biologi- cal Symposia. Various Authors. 250 pp. Illus. 1945. $3.00. The Jaques Cattell Press, Lancaster, Pa.
The papers presented at a symposium on the topic are brought together in one volume. With the statistical evidence pointing to an era in which the ratio of older people in the total population will increase, the problems of geriatric medicine merit continued study. Many of the more common diseases of old age are described at length and verbatim transcripts of the roundtable dis- cussions bring out the viewpoints of leading authorities in the field.
Dynamic Meteorology. JORGEN HOLMBI3E, GEORGE E. FORSYTHE and WILLIAM GUSTIN. 378 pp. Illus. 1945. $4.50. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York.
Mark Twain's celebrated remark that nobody does anything about the weather will no longer hold water and the evidence lies in this well-prepared text. The importance of weather during both war and peacetime should suffice to warrent close attention to the matter of forecasting. The extended use of weather data by such widely separated of man's activities as farming and flying will bring an increased demand for practical, but scientific, publications dealing with the subject. This volume with its emphasis on the physical behavior of the atmosphere and its motion is based on course work presented at M. I. T. and the University of California.
The Psychology of Women. Vol. II-Motherhood. HELENE DEUTSCH. 498 pp. 1945. $4.50. Grune and Stratton, New York.
Dr. Deutsch has subtitled her second volume in this series, "Motherhood." She has wisely continued her approach used in the first volume-that of presenting the normal rather than the abnormal. Likewise she has emphasized the psychosomatic interdependence of the psychological and physiological processes as demon- strated in the female reproductive activity. Physicians, physiologists and psychiatrists will all find worthwhile the detailed case histories that explore the successive life phases of mature womanhood.
How to Solve It. GEORGE POLYA. 204 pp. Illus. 1945. $2.50. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey.
EAach day brings to every person problems that must be solved and this small, compact volume offers a metho- dology for tackling them in a systematic manner. Although the outward form is stated in mathematical terms, it is really an adventure in bringing order to the procedures of the mind when first confronted with a seemingly unsolvable problem. The clarity of analysis and logic of discussion make the methods outlined adaptable to any field of human activity.

NEED TO MEASURE CONTINUOUSLY? Here Are L&N Automatic Instruments For the Laboratory
Where laboratory work requires a reliable, continuous measure- ment by means of a null-type electrical measuring circuit, you're likely to see L&N balance-type recorders providing the needed data. Motor-driven, these instruments balance against their own built-in standards of accuracy. They are precise, sensitive, reliable instru- ments for indicating, recording, or controlling. Shown here are three models-Model S strip-chart Micromax, Model R round-chart Micro- max. and Speedomax Recorder.
To Draw a Detailed Record Automatically . . - Model S Micromax records from one to 16 points on a
chart 97" in calibrated width. Available as an automatically standardized potentiometer for use with thermocouple, Rayo- tube or pH electrode; for polarized dropping mercury elec- trode-as a Wheatstone or Kelvin Bridge-and as an a-c re- corder for electrolytic conductivity, frequency, etc. Usually equipped to signal and/or control. Features an especially roomy case with ample space for accessory relays, etc.; sepa- rately-hinged frame castings for chart and balancing mecha- nism makes all parts highly accessible. Appropriate catalog on request; please state your needs in as much detail as possible.
To Indicate with Unusual Clearness Model R Micromax excels in long-range visibility and
extra-clear indication. A big black pointer moves around the boldly marked scale . . . the round chart is usually for a 24-hour period. The instrument can record one or two points-can be equipped to operate signals, alarms, and auto- matic controls. Appropriate catalog on request.
To Record with Unusual Speed . . . Speedomax Recorders can be used with proper acces-
sories to measure spectrometer output, temperature of mov- ing objects, radio field strength, radio sonde signals, and other conditions which require exceptional speed. In just 12 seconds, the pen of a Speedomax Recorder sweeps all the way across its wide strip-chart. A black pointer moves across a bold scale, visible from a distance of 10 feet or more. Null-point balance is achieved by electronic means, while a reversing motor balances the null-point detector through grid-controlled arc tubes. Appropriate information on re-
