Ing by degrees a race of people who
were best fitted to live in large towns.
The individuals of that race would not
be the kind of man of whom the re-

Hutchison did not think that the man
best suited to stand the wear and
strain of life in London was the man
Of large frame, big muscles and much
bone. The reason was that the condi.
tions of town life did not admit Of a
sufficiency Of digestive power to enable
q man to nourish large frame. The
