taon Over the World.
In the light OF modern science we
cannot view the distribution Of animals
and plants over the globe as either ac-
cident or fortuitous. Many laws relatE
ing to distribution are either wholly IN
known or are known SO imperfectly that
it is quite possible that future study and
observation may lead to their serious
modification. OF a few points we may
feel quite sure. In the geological age
Immediately preceding the present one
an ice sheet spread itself from the far
north toward the south. Its southern
limit seems to have been an irregular
line extending through southern Iowa,
central Illinois and on the east to the
Atlantic coast. In Europe and Asia the
ice sheet extended quite as far south.
As a result of this invasion OF the ice
most native forms of life disappeared,
and their places were filed by northern
forms which gradually came in advance
Of the ice. When the ice sheets retreat
ed, many of the northern forms began
to adapt themselves to the changed en-
vironments. As conditions in Europe,
Asia and America were different, organic
forms developed differently, and hence
arose tho diverse forms of European,
American and Asiatic faunas and doras

lands deserve brief mention. During the
latter part of the glacial period the
British islands were wholly submerged,
and almost or perhaps all of the ami
mails and plants then living on those
islands were externinated. Then the
land of western Europe slowly rose, and
what are now the British islands were
connected with the continent
While this connection lasted animals
and plants passed over to the islands,
but before all OF the European species
had time to establish themselves the is
land became separated by the sinking Of
the land, ind the separation has contin-
ued to the present time. Before all of
the forms OF life which reached England
could get az far west as Ireland the lat
ter island was separated from England
by a sinking which resulted in the for
nation Of the Ix5sh sea.
This separation accounts for the abb
sence Of reptiles in Ireland without in
voking the aid Of good St. Patrick. The
peculiar plants and animals of NADIA
gascar and Australia were both COM
mented on, and their low forms of life
attributed 20 their early separation from
the other continents. Attention was di-
rected 70 the fact that in both Australia
and Madagascar generalized animals
long since extinct in other places still
survive. Thus in Madagascar is found
the lemur, a generalized monkey, and
in Australia the cerotodus still lives.
This latter animal is intermediate be-
tween the air breathing animals and the
water breathors. Professor Whiting

In Mexico there is a plant known by
the name Of Palo de Leche. Tt belongs
to the family of euphorbia. The In
dians throw the leaves into the water,
and the fish become stupefied and rise
to the surface and are then caught by
the natives. In this case the effect of
the narcotic soon passes off. The milk
of this plant thrown upon the fire gives
out fumes that produce nausea and head
ache. The milk taken internally is q
deadly poison. 1t will produce death or
insanity, according to the size Of the
dose. There is a popular belief among
the lower class in Mexico that the in
sanity of the ex-Empress Carlotta was
caused by this poison--San Jose (Cal.)
