A la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'efficacité de la médecine — préventive ou bien thérapeutique — n'est pas, autant qu'aujourd'hui, une réalité positive ; elle constitue un souhait, même si elle commence à s'inscrire dans les faits. Le recours au médecin, au chirurgien — ce « médecin du peuple » — ou bien à la sage-femme, reste alors l'apanage d'une minorité qui s'affirme éclairée ; et cela en dépit des efforts conjoints de l'élite médicale et du pouvoir royal pour former des sages-femmes ou bien pour soigner les pauvres lors des « maladies épidémiques ». Quant à la majeure partie de la population française, elle pratique l'automédication, bien entendu ; elle consulte aussi le meige, le rebouteux, la matrone ; elle écoute le charlatan de passage ; elle suit la cure ordonnée par le sorcierguérisseur du village.

Brief review of modern earthquake engineering

This review is a brief survey of the present status of Earthquake Engineering. It contains information on earthquake hazards, main Earthquake Engineering problems, safety of structures under the action of earthquakes, Earthquake Engineering research and education, and international collaboration. The review is prepared in accordance with a decision by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering to set up a working group for dealing with “Information on Earthquake Engineering”. The decision to create this working group was supported by the "Comite de Liaison", which co-ordinates the activity of several international associations dealing with Structural Engineering, such as the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, the European Committee for Concrete, the International Federation for Prestressing, the International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation, the European Convention of the Associations for Steel Construction, and the International Association for Shell Structures.

The origins of steam navigation

Abstract The present work contains twelve papers, with the text of the subsequent discussions, given at a symposium held in Paris in 1960 on the initiative of the Comite de Documentation historique de la Marine. The subject of the symposium was the technical, political, economic and social consequences of the change from sail to steam navigation. The point of view is largely French, especially since only one foreigner, the head of the Marine Navigation Department of the Science Museum, London, H. Philip Spratt, was present. The balance is, however, partly redressed by the fact that his contribution, on the development of the steamship up to 1870, is by far the most comprehensive.

Quantum-Mechanical Investigations of the Electronic Structure of Nucleic Acids and Their Constituents

Publisher Summary Quantum-Mechanical Investigations of the Electronic Structure of Nucleic Acids and Their Constituents11The work was supported by Grant No. 67-00-532 of the Delegation Generale a la Recherche Scientifique et Technique (Comite de Biologie Moleculaire), Grant No. CR-66-236 of the Institut National des Sciences et de Recherche Medicale (Intergroupe Cancer Leucemie), and Grant No. GM 12289 of the U.S. Public Health Service (National Institute of General Medical Sciences) This chapter explains quantum-mechanical investigations of the electronic structure of nucleic acids and their constituents. The quantum-mechanical calculations so far performed on purines and pyrimidines or on the nucleic acids may be considered in two ways: first, they may be classified with respect to the method of calculation used; second, they may be classified in connection with the problems that they have dealt with. The chapter discusses the methodology of the calculations, which are carried out by a large variety of methods. For a number of years, marly of these properties, such as dipole moments, ionization potentials, electron affinities, and spin densities in free radicals originating from the bases-are known only theoretically. The recent evolution of the theoretical procedures, together with the rapid development of the computational techniques and of the capacities of the computers themselves, has opened up the possibilities for an effective direct investigation of the macromolecules themselves and of their essential properties. Such an enlargement is essential for the transformation of quantum biochemistry into a quantum biology.

PROGRESS IN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY FOR 1944 A REVIEW PREPARED BY AN EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS

A. Classification of Tumors of Bone. —Brachetto-Brian38presents a classification adopted by the Comite para el Estudio de los Tumores Oseos of the Associacion Argentinade Cirugia. He discusses various phases and believes that the classification should be based on the type of tissue affected, since different cells would originate different neoplasms. The classification is as follows: B. Lesions Simulating Neoplasms of Bone. —Echternacht39presents a case of hemophilia in which the patient injured the tibia. Following the injury, there was tumefaction, with roentgenographic evidence of destruction of bone suggestive of a malignant lesion. Roentgen therapy was given, and later amputation was done through the knee joint, followed by hemorrhage and fatal termination. Friedman40presents 4 cases of neurofibromatosis with involvement of bone. In 1 case, material obtained for biopsy from the medullary canal of the femur contained neurofibromatous tissue. He suggests that there is normally some

Fifty Years of the Committee of Public Safety

r osHE history of the Committee of Public Safety can scarcely be distinguished from that of the French Revolution during the Terror. Created in April, 1793, and granted increasing powers in the following months, the Committee remained until the ninth of Thermidor the center of the Revolutionary government and continued to exist with reduced functions until the dissolution of the Convention. It is difficult, therefore, to establish a specific bibliography. The more complete such a bibliography becomes, the more it loses itself in a general bibliography of the First Republic. The magnitude of the subject and the uncertainty of its limits help to explain the scarcity of literature. The classic authorities-l!vIichelet, Louis Blanc, Taine necessarily gave considerable attention to the Committee in the course of their narratives. But there exists only a single volume attempting a rounded pictureL. Gros, Le comitE de salut public (Paris, 1893). Some of the materials available to Gros must still be carried on our active bibliographical lists.l Sillce 1893, however, new materials have accumulated in profusion. The scientific movement in Revolutionary historiography hardly dates from before that time; abundant sources have been published; all the work of Mathiez, and most of that of Aulard, is subsequent to 1893. Political events of the twentieth century have also created a sharper interest in revolutionary dictatorship, alld perhaps a deeper understanding.2

A French Expedition to the Cameroon Mountains

IN the summer of 1939 the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris, the Comite de la France d'Outre Mer du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, and the International Institute of Volcanology, in full accord with the British Museum (Natural History), sent a scientific expedition to the volcanic mountains of the Cameroons. This expedition consisted of B. Geze, geologist, P. Lepesme, entomologist, A. Villers, assistant taxidermist, and myself, entomologist. We were to study the biological conditions prevailing on the principal mountains of the Cameroonian range, and we visited Mt. Cameroon (4,070 m.), Mt. N'Lonako (1,800 m.), Mt. Manengouba (2,400 m.), and Mt. Bambouto (2,600 m.). From a climatic point of view, it appears that the rainfall decreases regularly from more than 10 m. a year to about 2 m. a year from the first to the last of the above-named mountains. Together with this decrease in rainfall, human settlements and cattle increase in number and importance. As a consequence, Mt. Cameroon bears a belt of rain-forest from about 1,000 m. to about 2,000 m.; this forest belt is still extant on Mt. N'Lonako, while on both Manengouba and Bambouto the belt has been broken to pieces and the prairie of the surrounding highland plains goes right to the summit. This breaking up of the forest must be rather recent, as in the Bambouto prairie we found isolated plants of tree-ferns and Clematis, both inhabiting the surviving forest patches on the same mountains.

L'Espèce humaine

FOUR sumptuous volumes of this encyclopaedic work have already appeared within a year under the general direction of Prof. Lucien Febvre. A total of twenty-one volumes is projected, including one of bibliography and one of indexes. The previous volumes are entitled “L'Etat Moderne”, “Litteratures et Arts Contemporaines”; and the present one, “L'Espece Humaine”, is edited by Dr. Paul Rivet with the collaboration of M. Paul Lester and the aid of fourteen contributors. It has been issued in fifty-five fascicles, the complete quarto volume having a heavy black leather binding case. L'Espece humaine Encyclopedic francaise, Tome 7. Pp. 574 + 40. (Paris: Comite de l'Encyclopedie francaise; Libr. Larousse, 1936.) 125 francs.

An Anthropological Congress

THROUGH the courtesy of a friend, I have had the opportunity of seeing a copy of a circular of invitation, dated Paris, Feb. 15, 1930, to an anthropological congress described as XV6 Congres Internationale d'Anthropologie et d'Archeologie Prehistorique: IV6 Session de l'Institut International d'Anthropologie: Portugal, 1930. This invitation is signed by the president and secretaries of the Institut International d'Anthropologie, and is issued from its address in Paris. Among the ‘comite d'honnour’ is one of the survivors of the ‘permanent committee’ of the XIV6 Congres International (Geneva, 1912); another represents Switzerland on a “comite international de preparation scientifique des sessions”; but there is no other apparent link with the older series of congresses.
