In Bulletin No. 142, the report of the 

 director, W. H. Jordan, we find the fol-

 demand for scientific information as 

 compared with popular interest in such

"The mailing list of this station in-

 of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture and of all other experiment 

 stations; (2) newspapers of this state 

 and a few outside; (3) those persons who 

 desire to receive our complete bulletin; 

 (4) the main list or those who receive the 

 popular bulletins. This latter list now 

 numbers about 30,000 names. In two 

 years our mailing list has increased 

 about 10,000 names."

Eugene Hodenpyl, M. D. 



"It is frequently desirable at surgical 

 operations, at autopsies, or in general 

 laboratory work, to obtain quickly

 Fresh unstained sections, while they are 

 valuable for the study of certain lesions, 

 are open to so many serious objections 

 that they cannot be made use of for the 

 purposes indicated. Moreover, fresh 

 sections cannot be satisfactorily stained 

 unless they have been previously fixed 

 or hardened by some preservative. Of the 

 various hardening agents which have 

 been tried for rapid fixation of frozen
