A NEW UNDERWATER CAMERAA NEW underwater camera that will help science to
uncover the secrets of the ocean's floor was described byProfessor Maurice Ewing, of Columbia University, a mem-
ber of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, at a
meeting of the Optical Society of America held in NewYork City.The camera is its own photographer. A special trigger
hangs down from the bottom of the camera. When thetip of the trigger touches the ocean floor, it sets off theflashlights and clicks the shutter. The tip of the triggermay be extended to any practical length, and the lensadjusted so that the picture taken will be in focus.The main advantage of the new camera, Dr. Ewing
stated, is that it can be lowered into a submarine world,100 fathoms or more down, and take its pictures with lessdisturbance to animal life, and at a lower cost, than byother means.
Two types of camera have been developed. One has a
ballast and a float. The complete unit is tossed over theside of a ship. The ballast carries it to the bottom. Whenit gets there, a trigger starts clockwork for taking a seriesof pictures at any pre-set time interval. When the lastpicture has been made, the camera releases the ballast,and the float carries it back to the surface. A compassand a drift indicator may be suspended in the field ofview of the camera to show changes that occur in thedirection of the current while the series of pictures isbeing made. The other type of camera is lowered on a
wire, and makes just one picture.There are many ways in which scientists may be ex-
pected to use the new camera. Already it has been usedto study the habits of deep-sea life in an undisturbedstate. In very deep water it has proved valuable fortaking a census of the animal population. The camera
is better than a collecting net for this purpose, since manyfish escape the net, or are so fragile that they are de-stroyed by the net before reaching the surface.
Geologists use the camera to study the ocean floor. Thecamera showed sand ripples at 97 fathoms, proving thatthere is enough current at this depth to move sand around.A series of pictures showed that the direction of theripples changes with tides, proving constant movement.The camera is expected to help to uncover many interest-ing facts about the submarine canyons off the Pacificcoast of the United States.The first underwater photographs were made fifty-four
years ago in 1890 by a Frenchman named Boutan. Thecamera he used consisted of a sealed unit for the camera,and a shutter control that extended to the surface. Thecamera was lowered into shallow water, and the shutterwas clicked by means of pulling on the shutter cable. For
the next forty years divers took their cameras down with
them, encased in rubber jackets. Dr. William Beebe took
pictures through the thick widow in his bathysphere. Dr.Williamson took pictures from- the window of a gondoladropped beneath the surface, with a flexible tube large
VOL. 100, No. 2600
enough to permit a man to pass through it, extendingfrom the surface to the gondola.The new camera returns to the principle of the Boutan
camera.
ITEMSYOUNG psychologists serving in the Army as en-
listed men are now offered an opportunity to obtain com-
missions as second lieutenants, upon applications madethrough their immediate commanding officers. Those con-
sidered best qualified will be put directly to work at tasksfor which their professional training and experiencequalify them, ranging from psychological testing andcounselling to teaching in colleges and care of mentallyand physically handicapped cases. Minimum educationrequirements are a bachelor 's degree in psychology, sociol-ogy or educational or industrial psychology.
CRowN gall, a disfiguring and destructive disease ofplants that is often called plant cancer, has been curedwith penicillin in the plant pathology laboratories of theUniversity of Arizona by Professor J. G. Brown, head ofthe department. Crown gall is caused by a bacterialspecies, differing in this respect from human and animalcancers which it resembles in many other ways. So faras known, human and animal cancers are never directlyproduced by bacterial attack. Regardless of whether or
not Professor Brown's discovery proves to have signifi-cance in the fight on human cancer, it promises practicalresults in the immediate field of plant pathology if itleads to a practical treatment of crown gall in the field.This disease is known to attack at least a hundred kinds ofplants, and is an especially destructive enemy of young
shrubs and trees in nurseries and orchards. The crudepenicillin extract used in the experiments successfullycured the soft type of crown gall. It cost two centsper quart, and a quart is sufficient to destroy many
small galls.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL pictures of views through an elec-tron microscope revealing the shape of ultra-microscopiccrystals, of which magnesium and other metals are com-
posed, were demonstrated publicly for the first time at thetwenty-ninth annual meeting of the Optical Society ofAmerica. The point of a common pin can be made toappear as vast and rough as a mountain range whenphotographed through an electron microscope, and en-
larged to 100,000 diameters on a three-dimensionalPolaroid vectograph. In these three-dimensional pictures,it is now possible to study and measure the shape andspace characteristics of minute structures that are ex-
tremely difficult to see in ordinary photographs. Thedemonstration of techniques in applied electron micros-copy was made by Robert D. Heidenreich, of the DowChemical Company, Midland, Mich., where the electronmicroscope has been used in the investigation of corrosionphenomena in magnesium alloys.

INTRODUCTION TO PARASITOLOGYWith Special Reference to the Parasites of Man
By ASA C. CHANDLER, Professor of Biology, The Rice Institute
Professor Chandler, in his timely seventh edition of A
"Introduction to Parasitology," realizes the impor-tance that parasites assume in the war and post-war years and discusses this aspect of his subjectthoroughly.
Since the first edition was published twenty-six yearsago, Professor Chandler's book has held an increasingposition of authority as the standard introductorywork in colleges throughout the country. In thislatest edition, as in all previous editions, there is main-tained the accuracy of data, simplicity of style, com-
prehensiveness of content, and the completely up-to-date material resulting from frequent revisions.
Throughout the book special emphasis has been placedon the biological aspects of the subject. Considerablespace is devoted to life cycles, epidemiological factors,interrelations of parasite and host, and the underlyingprinciples of treatment and prevention. As an intro-ductory book, stress is placed on fundamental prin-ciples and facts, to give the student a good basic under-standing of parasitology. A

A new book of major importance for advanced students and workers inthe fields of geographic botany, ecology, forestry, genetics, etc.
FOUNDATIONS OF PLANT GEOGRAPHYBy STANLEY A. CAIN, Professor of Botany, University of Tennessee
This scholarly and well-written discussion of theprinciples of plant geography draws its illustrativematerials from the whole world and utilizes moderndevelopments in systematics, evolution, speciation,cytology, genetics, pollen analysis, paleoecology,and areography. The importance of its contribu-tion is suggested by such comments as the following:
"A very valuable contribution, especially in hisinterpretations of the origins and factors governingplant distribution. This whole subject has been indire need of searching analysis, and his scholarlypresentation should prove of marked value to stui-dents and research workers. ''-EDWIN B. MATZKE,Columbia University
"Advanced students and professional botanists, aswell as specialists in borderline fields, will find itindispensable as the only comprehensive synthesis
556 pages
of this kind, and they will be grateful that, not-withstanding its highly technical character, DoctorCain has organized and presented it so clearly andeffectively."- CARL 0. DUNBAR, in American Jour-nal of Science
"One of the most stimulating and thought-provok-ing works on plant geography and ecology the re-viewer has read in many years. . . . One is capti-vated by the easy flow of terminology representativeof the various fields of science, which is possibleonly if the author need not hesitate to find his wayin the labyrinth of basic principles and terms....Whether or not you agree with every argument pre-sented in Dr. Cain 's book, you cannot read theseenlightening chapters without becoming a betterecologist and plant geographer.
