A quick way to see sights from Central America to the Arctic is to visit the exhibit of North American life in the Museum of Natural History.
Tropic To Arctic Animals Shown
Extensive renovation began in 1951. The completed portions have grown to include five of seven life zones stretching from the tropics northward. The two northern-most zones are expected to be completed by July.
The Arctic scene will be mostly rock, which will be collected near Lawrence. This particular type of rock was picked up by glaciers in the Arctic and carried south millions of years ago. The Kaw River is about as far south as it is found.
The only real rocks in the panorama are small ones. Larger rocks are lightweight plaster casts molded from real rocks, painted and mounted on wooden platforms for support.
Field trips have been made to all the regions to gather samples of plant life. Most of the animals in the exhibit were collected about 1880 and were in the original collection for which Dyche Museum was built.

The larger a business becomes the more employees are absent from work. This was the finding of a study on absenteeism made by the human relations department recently.

Absenteeism Study Made
The study was conducted in a large national company which has 11 different plants. Data were obtained through IBM statistical analysis. The study was financed by the University Research fund.
Other results obtained show that hourly workers have a higher rate of absence than salaried workers and women have a higher rate of absence than men. Also, absences increased during the first few years with the company and decreased during later years.

The original painting of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Leutze was destroyed in a 1942 Allied air raid on Bremen, Germany. German-born Leutze painted the picture in 1851 for the United States Congress. When fire marred the canvas, he sold it to the German Government. He did a copy for the Congress, but it was refused.
