THE COLOR LINE IN NATURE,
why the Civilized Nations OF thu
World are White.

Prof. A. r. Wallace said at the re-
cent session of the British Science As
soclation:
Some very curious physiological
facts bearing upon the presence or alb
sence of white colors in the higher an
imals have lately been adduced By DR..
Ogle. 1t has been found that a color.
ed or dark pigment IN the ollaclary re
zion of the nostrils is csscntia! to per
feet smell, and this pigment is rarely
deficient except when the whole animal
is pure white. In these cases the crea
ture is almost without smell or taste.
This, DR.. Ogle believes, explain. the
curious case of the pigs in Virginia
adduced by Nlr. Darwin, white pigs be-
ing poisoned by \ poisonous root
which does not affect black pigs,
White sheep are killed in the Tarentlno
by eating hypericum criscum, while
black sheep escape; white rhlnoce'
roses are said to perish from eating
%euphorbia c%andelabrum and white
horses are said to suffer from poison
Gus food where colored ones escape,
The explanation has, however, been
carried a step further, by experiments
showing that the absorption OF odors
by dead matter, such as clothing, is
greatly affected BY color, black being
