The Ring-billed Gull To a great extent this gull re- sembles the Herring Gull, but is much smaller, and, it one can gut. near enough to observe it, the black bend on the bill, furnishes n, sure distinction, “On the sea, coast," says Dr. Taverner, "this species may be mistaken for the common but. smal - er Kittlwake."

Smith's "General Chemistry for Colleges" (1910) gave a list of 8i "hiteniatlonal Atomic Weights." There had been changes. Radium, Helium, and others, had arrived; Niobium, Norium, and Pelopium were gone. Uranium credited with an atomic weight of 120.0 in i895, was now 238.5, which ll very near to its present value. . The latest list of elements ls given in David Dion's “The Story of Science" a most entrancing 0.x- tion of its subject. 'l‘lie num- ber of elements in the year 1942 la given as 92. Of the later-discov ered elements half e dozen have atomic weights exceeding 200.0: this puts them alongside Radium and Uranium, and so we are likely to hear more of them in the fut- ure. The atomic weight of Uranium is now aald to be 238.17; and most of the other elements show slight changes in their weirrhts.

"Science moves b creeping on from point to —'I‘ennyson. at slowly, slowly, A point." In Aruiient Tlmee In reading ancient history, Scrip- tural or secular, one speedily be- comes swung that. farming was early divided into two distinct branches. One was the nomadic, pastoral kind that. concerned itself only with live stock which it guided from pas- ture to pasture, or from oasis to oasis, u the occasion required. Th: life was e free life. and the youth who joined the outfit was treated as if he were a son of the owner. He participated in whatever was going-food, labor, and even feuds and fighting. The life was rough but good. Nearer the tqwna the farmers tilled the ground and grew grain. They were slaves however, and neither the larirl nor its products belonged to them, Usually ‘it ‘was the warrior class who owned the land and woe betide the slave who did riot produce e harvest t0 hi5 owner's expectations. He might be flogged. or even crucified, for hu- man life was little valued in early times. For e vivid picture of lifc on the horns-farm of Hamllcai- Ber- ca, in Carthage BC. 240, the read- er is referred to the romance "Salammbo," by Gustave Flaubert. Though this ivotrk is in the form of fiction, the facts are actually drawn from ancient records. The system of agriculture by slaves gave the philosophic Greeks and the martial Romans time and money to pursue their occupations. Then as now, farm pfDdiiCiS found n ready market in the great clues. The slaves do not seem to have been a: cruelly used, for we read that. some were even employed as teachers to their master's sons. Aesopus, writer of "Esorfs Fables." was borii a slave but freed by his master. Horatius Flaccus. the poet. was the son of s, freed slave. Eight hundred years later, our own forefathers were cultivatini! the ground as serfs. The land still belonged to the ruling warrior caste, but the former was not hi", master's personal property; 11¢ i16- lnnged to the lantl and was trans- ferred with it. l-fc had the privilege now, of cultivating a patch i0!‘ himself in consideration of help- ing his "lord" l\_v an agreed num- ber of days’ service, In return his master afforded him protection a- gainst maraudcrs; and lie onion received extra food at his masiflll‘ table. The Black Death, which as sonic say, slew half the population of England (13491 gave a fatiil blow to this system, and tlie various civil wars completed its ruin.
