A daylight meteor was seen recently
near Ayrshire, Scotland. Its move
ment was very slow and it shown with
brilliant, intense light which was
concentrated in itself and did not leave
train behind it, 1t got gradually
smaller and smaller, and just before
disappearing broke into three or four
pear-shaped portions. During its
course, although the massy head was
always brilliantly white, the little tail
varied in hue, crimson and rich ultra
marine blue being most noticeable.

BECOMING SCARCE.


Blonde Men and Women Will Vanish as
TYPE in Time.
Women with blue eyes and light
hair are gradually, though surely
passing away as type. In each sue
cessive generation there are fewer of
them than in the last. Already such
thing as red blonde, purely such,
is so rarely seen in this country as to
excite remark. Golden tresses are so
very frequent that real ones are
usually suspected of being bleached
In short, Spare Moments thinks it
has become evident that before very
long there will be no blonde women
any more. The same thing is true of
men. Among their sex light hair and
blue eyes are fast disappearing. We
may Judge how rapidly they are going
when Ge consider the fact that when
ever brunette man marries blonde
woman or vice versa, 66 per cent of
the children born have dark hair and
eyes, At that rate not very many
centuries will be required to wipe out
the blonde type altogether.
Some may wonder how this matter
has been determined with such ac-
curacy Simply by including such
statistical. observations in the census
of nations in Germany and France,
where the very school children are
examined, and have their characters
recorded from an anthropological
standpoint. Observations made il
this way, so as to cover millions o
persons of both sexes, have resulted
in the discovery that the dark people
bring more children into the worlt
than the light people. Furthermore
they have greater vigor and they live
longer.
