CLIMATE.

It has been an impression among
many Psychologists that crimate has
little or no effect in producing a change
in the original form of animals,-this
is an error most palpable-while others
have mentioned the equally absurd
idea, that if the thoroughbred Tartar
stud were taken to the Shetland Islands,
he would gradually dwindle into pony
no larger than a New Foundland dog,
covered with hair as long as that of a
he-goat. | believe both theories to be
incorrect, and yet there is truth in both.
The fact is that nature seems to have
formed different plants for different
parts of the globe, and also different
animals having 10 such plants a strong
family resemblance. l speak of the
original inhabitants-the short thick
men of Japan are the semblances of her
dwarfish growths; and the aborigines
of America are but the patterns of the
native forest growths OF the land
Wherever you find trees bearing nuts,
you find animals with organs fitted to
climb-the one being made for the
other-and an amusing instance of
such resemblances is in the cocoa-nut
to the face of the monkey, which one
would think he had himself created
for his own delights, and created in his
own image also. This would appear
strongly to confirm the poets consecra-
ton and the dream that God shall ulti-
mately in very deed dwell among men.
For God made man in his own image
and if the like be meet for the like,
ii is philosophical induction and no
vain imagining that there is
"A land of souls beyond yon sable shore"
What now mean to show, however, is
that there appears to be an original

FOOD

Food is the next great modifier ot
the resemblances between parents and
progeny. The effect of food on the
animal developments is truly surpri.
sing, as the difference between the of.
spring of the same parents, the one Of
which has been starved and the other
we'll fed and well tended, is well known
and yet almost inconceivable. Nor dc
the effects of food con6ne themselves
10 the body only; there is certain
mental developement effected by GER
tain kinds of food.
The substances of the brain (says
Liebig) contain large quantity OF
albumen, and in addition TO this, two
peculiar fatty acids, distinguished from
other fats by containing phosphorlc
acid-one of them contains nitrogen.-
IAN. Chem, page 22l Again he says,
vegetables produce in their own organ
ism the blood of all animals. From
what has been said it is very evident
that the developement of the animal
organism and its growth are dependent
upon the reception of certain princi-
pies which are identical with the chief
constituents of the blood.-(p. 22.) In
this sense it may be said that the ami
NAL organism gives to the blood only
lis form, aud is unable to create it
out of substances which do not already
contaid the chief ingredients of that
fluid. In that endless series of COM
pounds which begins with carbonie
acid, ammonia and water, the sources
of the nutrition Of vegetables. and in
cludes the most complex constituents
of the animal brain, there is no blank
no interruption. "The animal orga-
nism is a higher kind of vegetable. >
(An Chemistry, p. 23l Now it is plain
from the above extracts that the first of
living chemists is of opinion that the
principles that constitute the animal
form, even up TO the brain, exist in the
food which he takes into his stomach,
and thus the food of man is actually
reproduced in his thoughts. Dogs may
be rendered very fierce by being fed
upon raw meat, and the meat of a prize
fighter is never more than half cooked.
Thus the Roman fabulist did well to
suckle the founder of the fiercest nation

of any particular organ of the parent
during CESSATION If an animal during
CESSATION were confined to total dark
ness, the progeny would be deficient IN
the organs of vision, aud in time total
blindness would be the consequence in
the race This is the case with the
eyeless fish in the Mammoth Cave
The prairie deer in the Attakapas have
not when dropped half the length of
tails of those of the sea-marsh, not theee
miles distant, owing TO the insects in the
marsh requiring an almost perpetual
use of that organ of defence. Thus is
the activity during CESSATION reprodu
cling as well as the inactivity. once
owned terrier slut, whose tail was
cut off so that she never could make
the slightest use Of it. and though all
her progenitors had long tails as well
as the dog by which she was lined,
yet all her pups had short tails, though
not SO short as hers-showing the dis
position the male had given in impreg-
nation, and the incapaeity of the female
to consummate it during CESSATION, from
a want of the activity of the organ to
be reproduced. This shows the pro-
priety and necessity during CESSATION of
keeping all the important parts of the
a NINA frame in n state ot constant and
and proper activity.
