WHAT MAKES THE NEeRo BLACK Dr..
Draper. Of New York, gives the following
explanations. Human blood il made Of lii

hHmatin, . reddish substance, which i
largely made up ofiron. One OF the duties
Of the liver 10 the removing OF the old bloo4
cells and the forming Of new ones aud this
duty iuciudes the carrying out from the
system Of all access Of hEmaln. A hoi
climate disiurbs the normal action OF The
blood and also ot the liver. Imperfect OK
ygen attends great heat. and adds to the
darkness OF the arteriaI blood, while by tho
want ofenerrelic respiration which II TO-.
wolves. there Is an over r-fa:ness aud torpidi-
,y Of the liver. The hHmatin. therefore,
BY this inaction Of The great cleansing
agent, is left 10 the system; and wandering
about, takes refuge in the loves and sper-
cal cells OF the cuticIe, which il thus bron-
zes from orange tawny down TO negro black,
according to the heat Of the climate The in
activity Of the liver, and the amount Of
hcms,n left as refuge in the system. Cold
checss the action OF the liver equally with
heat, and therefore the complexion OF the
Esquimsux approaches that Of the Mongo-
lian and Negro. This Il iscertainIy a simple
and Ineligible explanation. The tendency
Of coIoring matter 10 deposit itself IN the
cells oi the cu,icle Is well known. But ki
Il no, be thought that this darkening pro
cess is the result Of . disordered. In the
sense Of an unhealthfuI action Of the liver.
In that case L would appear tha, Providence
designed only the temperate zones 70 be In.

vigor Of the tropical tribes show that all the
