Influence of Alien Cytoplasms on Yield of Grain in Zea mays L. 1

Sixteen alien sources of maize and one of teosinte were converted to B14 genotype, retaining the alien Cytoplasm. In some comparisons teosinte cytoplasm appeared to contribute to lower grain yields. There was no convincing evidence of important differences among the normal maize cytoplasms tested.

THE TERMINAL AIR SACS AND THEIR BLOOD SUPPLY IN A 37-DAY INFANT LUNG.

AbstractWax models of a terminal spray of peripheral air passages from the middle lobe of a 37‐day infant lung are presented in three views. Superimposed on drawings of the models are reconstructions of the arteries and veins. The spray begins with a pre‐terminal bronchiole and ends in a trifurcation of alveolar ducts, each giving rise to two clusters of saccules. The third duct and its clusters are markedly under‐developed. So far there is no evidence that new acini are being formed and the possibility of this seems less and less likely.Terminal arteries do not follow the rigid pattern of Miller (1937), namely, that an artery accompanying an alveolar duct breaks up into as many branches as there are “atria” and each of these into as many branches as there are sacculi. Instead, the six clusters are partially supplied by two rami which branch irregularly and also supply adjacent clusters. Parts of a cluster may be supplied by arteries from distant and alien sources. A long arterial ramus frequently takes a short cut through saccules of other clusters. Conspicuous are numerous small adventitious branches arising from the main artery. Often a peripheral vein is continuous with a pleural vein.

The social sources of alienation

As a key concept in the social sciences, alienation refers to various mental states, often identified by such terms as ‘powerlessness’, ‘meaninglessness’, ‘anomic’, etc. Recent advances in sociological theory permit us to indicate systematically the social conditions linked to these states. A simple though exhaustive typology of the social sources of alienation’ is here presented. To illustrate the typology, examples of alienation are drawn from the writings of classical and contemporary social theorists.

Pure Well of Latin Undefiled

In a recent article in this QUARTERLY, while discussing the classical authors read by Montaigne, I ventured at one point to express myself as follows in connection with the great essayist's profound respect for Caesar: “It is not without interest that so understanding a critic of Roman literature as Mackail should likewise have felt, as some others of us are not ashamed to feel, that Julius Caesar stands side by side in Latin prose with Lucretius in poetry as exhibiting at the peak what the Latin language could achieve by itself, without richness and beauty gathered from alien sources; the appreciation of Caesar's Bellum Gallicum is the appreciation of latine loqui on the prose side.” A subsequent reviewer of my article, Professor Gilbert Norwood, quem honoris causa nomino, speaks of it, as arousing his “wrathful amazement with a sudden paean in praise of Caesar's 'style'”; the reference must be to the quotation above. This drives me back to consider once again what I actually said about Caesar's writing, and also leads me to enquire what it may have been that excited in my reviewer indignation and surprise. Beyond that I should like to set out as dispassionately as I can, without any paeans, my reasons for regarding Julius Caesar as quite unique on his literary side.

The Present Economic Condition of Germany

E CONOM IC conditions in Germany today present such a rapidly changing picture that it is possible to give a review only for the moment; and yet a very deep impression may be made by even such an ephemeral picture. The rapid changes are merely an index to the stages of readjustment to diminished territory and economic loss consequent upon the World War and the consequent peace (Fig. 1). These losses of territory and resources must at the very outset be considered an established fact, a background for the kaleidoscopic changes that have since taken place, and for the picture of present economic conditions. The whole situation in Germany today reflects the effort to make the restricted geographic resources of the country meet the demands of a population that has almost regained its pre-war number despite the loss of 10 per cent of her population, and 13 per cent of her land as a result of the war, as the accompanying table indicates. bilities of the land, and has had to depend upon alien sources for a considerable part of its aliment,-17 per cent at the outbreak of the war. Ever since the beginning of industrialism the German people have imported part of their food (Fig. 2); and with its rapid development, throughout the later half of the nineteenth century and the first decade and a half of the twentieth, the importation increased constantly, notwithstanding the intensification of agriculture over the whole land. Improvement of farming technique, extension of cultivated area, more effective utilization of every acre of ground, increased use of fertilizer, development of dairying, every known method of increasing production,-all were insufficient to make the land sustain the burden placed upon it, and Germany changed from a dominantly agricultural country to a highly industrialized country, with a population increasingly dependent upon imported food-stuffs.
