MIR. ShiddeIl, in a letter to me. says
that he was ten years at this work, yet
bv his own statement not more than
six generations can be obtained in one

preliminary experiments before he be-
gan the tail clipping. It is absurd 10
suppose that a man would take Such
a long time for the preliminary work.

them to three generations a year, ana
for the whole length of ShiddelFs ex-

found in Mr.. ShiddelI's mental equip

cally, as shown from the following ex-
tract from a letter sent TO me by the
editor of the Kentucky Gazette of Lex
ington; He is a gentleman who for a
long time conducted a small grocery
and was known as a sort of amateur
with flowers, white rabbits. etc. He
must be about 20 years of age, always
bore good reputation, and as far as
we know bore a name unsullied by
falsehood. We know nothing of his
raising white mice, but it is like him
TO do so, and if he undertook such a
vocation he would watch it closely

strange conceits, who had thought so

that he had actually made the expert

Of the question in such a case.
at is highly important that the real
facts be known, for the alleged expert
ments have been published far and
wide as attested scientific facts. Dr.
r. Harcourt Anderson refers to them
in the Medical Record of Oct. 2. 1897,
and DIR. Z. S. Talbot quotes them in his
book on 'Degeneracy-' 1t is remark
able that scientists should have been
the victim of one of these subjects.
I'VE can rest assured that the only
way to breed tailless mice is to select
those with the shortest tails and con-
tinue the process for untold genera

tural selection. The process will be a
gradual diminution of the tails to their
ultimate extinction, but TO suppose for
a moment that the tails will suddenly
disappear in a whole litter, except as
a Psychological freak due to causes we
know nothing about, is the height of
absurdity."
It is likely that the estimate of Mr.
Shiddell formed by his friends was en-
tirely accurate. At least, no one has
been found to accuse him of deliberate
deceit But the strange thing about
the eccentric old man is that while he
was fooled himself he was foOling
