Some of these countries are selfâ€"depenâ€" dent, or nearly so, and could dispense with foreign trade in an emergency.

An interesting fact brought out by a reâ€" cently reported banding operation is recounted here, w No adequate reason is known, exâ€" perts of the American Medical Assoâ€" ciation state in reply to an inquirer, for the almost universal custom, even in hospitals, of taking vases of cut flowers out of a sick room at might. Probably the habit is a mere superâ€" stition, formed long before modern medical science was developed and when some mysterious effluvium was supposed to flow out of all dead things, even out of cut flowers. It is true, the Association‘s experts admit, that cut flowers may give off a little carbon dioxide gas, either at night or in the daytime, but this gas always is present in the air anyway and can do no harm, even in a small room. If the odor of the flowers or the polien dust which they may give off are bad for the patient at night, it seems logical to assume that these things would be just as bad for the patient in the daytime,. _ One hospital . authority mentions in support of the custom of removing flowers the possible psy-i chological effect on the patient of having _ apparently fresh floweu' brought back in the morning, which rather feeble reasons seems to be the only one that anyone can find. Apâ€" parentlly even the superstitiousâ€"hatâ€" ing medical profession stands conâ€" victed of clinging to at least one cusâ€" tom which has nothing but superstiâ€" tion behind it.

These conditions are clearly reflected in the character and quantity of sea life found north of the Arctic circle.
