SAMUEL L. WALKER,
WHAT MAKES THE NEGRO BLACK.


The following explanation by DIR. Draper, of New
York, possesses soma interest, chiefly because it
shows what may be said on the subject:
Human blood is made up of little cells, containing,
among other elements. hematin, a reddish substance
which is largely made up Of iron. One of the duties
OF ne liver IL the removing OF the old blood cells and
inc forming OF new ones, and this duty includes the
carrying out from The system Of all excess Of hama.
tin. n hot CLIMATE disturbs the nor,nel action of the
blood, and also of the liver. Imperfect oxygen at.
tends great heat, and adds to the darkness of the ar.
terial blood, while, by the want Of energetic respirs.
ton which IL involves, there is An over fairness and
torpidity Of the liver. The hematin, therefore. by
this ~inactiou Of the great cleansing agent. ia left in
the eystem and wandering shout. takes refuge 10 the
lower and spherical cells OF the cuticle, which il thus
bronzes from oraDge.tawny to negro black, accord.
iu: 10 the heat of the climate, the inactivity of the
liver, and the amount Of Eena;in left as retuss in the
system.
Cold checks the action OF the liver equally with
heat, aud. therefore. the complexion of the Esqui.
maux approaches that of the Mongolian and negro.
This is certainly a simple aud an intelligent explana.
ton. The tendency OF coloring matter to deposit it.
self in the cuticle is we'll known. But let it not be
thought that this darkeuing process is the result ot a
dlsordered, in the sense Of an unhfdhhfRf action OF
the liver. In that Gaze it would appear that Provi.
dence designed only the temperate zones to be in.
hao'ted, and the wealth Of the tropics 10 be Lost to
mankind. In fact, the health and vigor of the tropi.
