Mr. Hyde's work with his Boy Scouts is developing; daily. A calendar

 livered to an enthusia.stic audience. The schedule is as follows:

Dr. A. \\ Kidder examined some of our collections in March, with 

 Mr. Nelson. 



A London paper tells us that " Jellicoe," the famous .sea-lion of the 

 Royal Victory Circus, which has been touring England, recently drove a 

 motor-cycle and side-car through the streets of Birmingham. He was 

 preceded by an automobile, in which his circus trainer rode, holding a 

 white handkerchief for him to keep his eyes fixed upon. "Jellicoe" 

 delighted the crowds watching him by sounding his horn furiously when 

 anyone cro.ssed his path. 



Mrs. E. H. Danforth, of Cranford, New Jersey, has presented the 

 Museum with some interesting beaded specimens from the Plains 

 Indians and four Navajo blankets, one of which is a very excellent 

 "Chief." 



If things go on as they are at present. The Museologlst will have 

 to issue a Motor Xews Supplement. The usual Spring automobile 

 epidemic is active. Even the Museum's delivery department has been 

 afTected to the point of purchasing a new Dodge car. Chris Schroth has 

 the fever, too, and is learning to drive the old Ford delivery machine. 

 He is learning the business from the ground up. He started by cleaning 

 the car, and undertaking a thorough overhauling, including painting. 

 In this work he has had the advice and a.s.sistance of the entire Mu.seum 

 basement ])opulation. 



Dr. Goddard has sold his Cadillac and bought a "Lizzie." 



Dr. Tower has cast aside " Algy." in spite of his faithful .service, and 

 has bought a Reo. 



Mr. Banks bought "Algy."
