A recent publication of The Indiana Department of Con- 

 servation, "Pollination and the Honey Bee," describes a new 

 strain of shortheaded red clover developing in sections of the 

 country where extensive agricultural development has resulted 

 in a great reduction in the number of bumble bees. The new 

 strain has flowers short enough to be pollinated by honey bees. 

 It seems that a new species is being developed adapted to the 

 honey bee according to the rules of natural selection. 



Huron H. Smith, botanist at the Milwaukee Museum, will 

 spend three months on the Oneida Indian reservation near 

 Green Bay, Wisconsin, studying the aboriginal uses of plants. 

 This is the sixth and last study to be made of the six Wisconsin 

 Indian tribes, Menominee, Chippewa, Fox, Pottawatomi, Win- 

 nebago and Oneida. (Science.)
