He surpassed other youths from 47 states and the District o f Columbia in the genius seeking examination that Edi­ son gave to find an heir apparent to his scientific throne, whereupon a radio announcer termed Edison's pro­ digy the “ brightest boy in the United States;” There is nothing wishy-washy, sophomorie, egotistic or self-satisfied about Bill Huston. He looks like' a scholar in his shell-rimmed glasses. He demonstrated at the Edison ex­ amination that lie was a scholar, an able one, equally at ease with di­ vergent technical and common-sense questions like what the elements of salt are and what to do with $1,000,- 000, Bill has the average boy** detesta­ tion fo r the word “ prodigy.” He doesn't like the word and he says so. Nevertheless, the world looks at hliii as Edison's own prodigy.

He became a hational character over night itt the approved American fashion o f becoming a celebrity, and the revolutions o f fame have bs*« all too bewildering, this hob-nobbing with legendary Edison and finding him humorous, with Lindbergh the modest, and Mayor Jimmy Walker, the per bags. He won't discuss girls, lie worships Mr. Edison, and he likes tennis and fencing. He isn't a cram or a mope and his best pal is a foot ball player. He excels-in mathematics, chemistry and physics and he hates Latin, French and Greek. He Flunked in Latin He Hits flunked a Latin examination, and received 100 in chemistry. He doesn't cut classes because “ what's the use with only 22 in the class, ^nd so easy to get caught?” s Bill likes mystery stories, but “ they're not my all consuming pas­ sion,” he laughs, He entered the Edison national con­ test because his grandfather, Wilber Brotherton, Wanted him to. “I just said to myself, “ Bill went on, “Well, shucks, I might as well. And here I am,” Bill can be Confidential In a boy's Way, He doesn’t think he’ll ever be a genius “ because geniuses like Mr, Edi­ son am born,” but he’ll study hard and try to be all Mr, Edison wants him to he. Further than that, he doesn't want to be “ lop-sided.” The young prodigy explains that being “lop-sided” is concentrating on just one thing and being successful only in that. “ I want to be an all-around man,” he said, “ giving attention to the so­ cial as well as the business side o f life, to the spiritual as well as the material,” “ You want to be a ‘regular fellow,* then—B ill?” •I hope to shoot!” Bill said.

Conger* of the Department of Zoology* Ohio Wesleyan University ........... ......... ....................................................................................tii,,iiiiiII«iittiii**intiuaiiiii«<r' em states, there is only a- single rare species whose bite is dangerous to man, so that much o f our fear o f spiders can only come from supersti­ tion and imagination. We must not overlook onr feathered friends during September. Many o f our slimmer visitors will have gone south hy the month-end. The two Guckeos, the Scarlet Tanager and the Baltimore Oriole—all o f them of tropical origin* take note o f the slant­ ing sun-rays and bid us farewell. The Swallows, restless creatures o f the air, forsake us and the Whippoorwill and Night hawk seek safer hunting grounds where frost will hot benumb the flying insects upon which they feed. Despair and perplexity will be the iot o f the bird student who spends much time afield now, fo r through our groves and woodlands is trooping a host o f warblers, southward-bound, The young birds o f the year and the fall plumage o f adult birds combine to make identifications difficult, often im­ possible. A hazardous trip Is this, upon which they aim embarking* Some o f them winter in' pur southern states* but f o r moat species. It is a -truas-Car*' ibboan flight to island winter resorts or to the wildernesses o f Central or South America, fhere* under a tropi*. cal sun* they will spend' the months until another spying lures them north­ ward to pay us their tunuarspring call* .When we see them again, they will come in 'Mi their bright colors an# with the added interest o f their springrong.] EPTEMBER — and summer dies amid the dirge o f tolling school bells. Our little friends in fur and feathers need neither almanac nor calendar to tell them o f the passing of the season, for the green robes of Dame Nature now begin to change to varied hues which fortell the glorious beauty o f the autumn landscape, This is the season, too, when the lace o f fairy weavers is to be seen oh lawn and Weed and bush, fo r the work of spiders sdeiris to grow more evident as summer wanes and autumn draws near. The flat platforms among the grasses o f law# and pasture are re­ vealed by the morning dew. In one corner, in a tube or funnel Of silk is hidden the spinner o f the web, ns it lies in wait for luckless insect victims. The beautiful orb web o f the garden spider and its allies is seen in all its perfection, where tall weeds or .shrub­ bery affoi d tlie necessary support. Much move interesting than these homes and snares of silk are the long strands which stream across our path or are borne along on a day of gentle steady breeze. Sharp eyes will often detect the little aeronaut who seeks new fields o f adven ire, not on a magic carpet, but on a single thread of gossamer silk. That long journeys are thus possible is evidenced hy the observation o f ballooning spiders hun­ dreds of miles out at sea. It is really too bad that the virul­ ence of spider venom lias been so ex­ aggerated as to cause a general fear o f the members o f this interesting group o f animals, In the mora noth 47;i .jM if 47 'f y m ffi1, 8 h Ua H>! j! ! r
