Predicts Race of Supermen The coming of the superman and the super race may not have to walt for the uncertain processes of evo- lution taking hundreds of thousands of years, but may be brought about within a few generations through or- ganic chemistry, A prophecy to this effect, that there would be a “synthetic super- man” in the not distant future, was made before the American Chemical soclety by Prof. Marston T. Bogert of Columbia university, Organic chemistry, Professor Bo- gert said, was gradually learning the relationship between certain chem- fcals and their influence on mans behavior and personaifty. It was also learning more and more about the chemical constitution of Hving matter and to synthesize products in which it Improves vastly upon na- ture, The time must come, therefore, Professor Bogert sald, when the chemist would be able to make sub- stances that would greatly increase the thinking powers of the brain, as well as the strength, health and results (in this direction have Germany, Switzerland and in vealed, Professor Bogert reported sential for life while others of one and the same atoms of carbon and hydrogen. gert reported, the “sterol” sentlal for sustaining animal and one of which, ergasterol, the basis of Vitamin D, the rickets preventing vitamin; the sex Silence Only Tribute Worthy of Yosemite The oldest this, the biggest that, and every superlative in our lan guage could be applied to Yosemite and Sequoia; but anyone who BOYER them out loud In these parks should be ducked under the nearest water fall, says a traveler, After one comes home and tries to write or talk about them the lid must come off, as only superlatives seem to fit. But in the parks a silent reverence is all that seems appropriate, The beautiful shock of entering Yosemite valley Is enough to silence the most talkative, The tops of the granite peaks shimmer like silver and blush into deep rose and red.
