Votes for Women - policeman with a suffragette arrested in Hyde Park about 1912

Votes for Women - policeman with a suffragette arrested in Hyde Park in London about 1912 ie early on in the movement. The suffragette herself seems remarkably calm in the face of the two arresting officers, just sitting in a relaxed fashion. She does not look like one of the aristocracy, more like one of the thousands of ordinary working women who fought to get the vote in the face of political and social hostility

Swallow, X-ray

Swallow. Coloured X-ray of a swallow (family Hirundidae). The swallow spends much of its time on the wing, and it is well adapted for energy- efficient flight; its hollow bones and toothless mouth ensure that its skeleton is as light as possible. The swallow's wings (upper left and right) are anatomically analogous to a human's hands, but many of the "finger" bones have been lost. The large breast bone (upper centre) supports the breast muscle (not seen), which provides the power needed for the swallow to flap its wings. This bird has broken one of the bones (upper left) in its left wing
