CHEMISTRY OF THE BLOOD.
Reactions Show It the Most Heredi-
tary Thing About Animal Species.

CdIy 4u1uB AOOuI AA4AAoA SPSSASS'
From Evervbodys. w
drop Of the blood of a walrus shows
mo relation with drop Of whale blood
or of the blood of any other cetacean,
such as seals or porpoises. which, like the
walrus, are mammals that have taken to
the sea- Instead Of that. the blood of the
walrus Immediately reacts with the blood
Of horses, asses and zebras, thus proving
that he is equine that no longer crops
grass, but goes where he can live on an
Exclusively fish diet. Likewise. the hip
popotamus is shown to be a modified pig.
Where blood relationship exists. but Is
distant, these reactions are proportionate-
ly faint, but where no reactions occur
there is relationship at all. Thus.
geology indicates that birds are descended
from reptiles, and, oddly enough. the blood
of bird shows a distinct, though very
faint, reaction with the blood OF a snake,
winged bat or the flying squirrel. for
these are mammals.
On the other hand. the marsupials
once such a great family, but now re-
a small creature in South America. have
now not a single blood relation left. AS
to man, he has no relationship to mon
keys, but the blood of anthropoid apes
Meantime, all the races of man are un-
mistakably of one blood, whatever their
color or abode.
Hence the blood is by far the most he
reditary thing about us. Neither the
shape OF the skeleton nor the contour
of the body, nor brain. heart lungs. stom-
ach. intestines, liver or skin. nor even
ancestral habits about the great food
uuestion-Darwin's only creator-how to
eat or keep from being eaten-are COM
parable to a single drop Of blood for
telling the correct story of descent. All
this gives a new meaning to the words.
For the blood thereof Is the life thereof :"
Likewise the old saying that insanity runs
in the blood now wears a scientific look.
since blood and family are 80 inseparabiy
associated.

DULL WEEK IN LONDON.
Business in American Rails Has
Svmpathetic Shrinkage.

LONDON. July 4.-The stock exchange
has just finished another dreary week.
The bulk of the small business consist
ed in investing trust funls in govern
ment securities. This impaired a gener
ally firm undertone to the market, but 1t
only raised the values of British shares
fractionally on the week. In spite Of
cheap money speculation was practically
dead, while the Moroccan and Turkish
situations were responsible for a dearth
of business and sliding prices i'll the for
eign section. although the selling for the
present is not pronounced. Home rails
continued sickly. poor traffic returns for
the half year arousing the fear of reduc-
tons in dividends.
The business in American rails shrunk
in sympathy with Wall street. The mar
ket here moved listlessly without special
features and the closing was dull and In
some instances one point higher than last
Saturday. Favorable crop prospects
helped to a steady tone at the week
end while Grand Trunk rose on unex-
pectedly good traffic returns.
Money continues plentiful and dis
counts weakened in spite of the absorb
ton of gold by Paris and Berlin. which
elIectually prevents the Bank Of England
from further building up its reserve.

ART OF LETTER WRITING.
Telephone and Postcard Aid Decline
of Epistolary Style.

From Vogue.
De Quincy said that to see the best
current English style we must rifle the
malls and read the letters of we'll bred
women under thirty years of age. The
stipulation as to age merely reveals De
Quincey's own limitations. for there
seems good reason why women should
write less well after thirty than before.
1t may be doubted. however whether
women of today. whatever their age,
write as good letters as those of De
Quincey's day. for between the daily
ture postcard the art Of letter writing
threatens to become atrophied from
lack of use. There are STILL however,
good letter writer's. and now. as ever the
charm of clever women's letters usually
comes from the fact that they are the
self-expression of interesting persons.
Such letters are ofen inaccurate when
judged by rigid literary standards: fem
mime epistolary punctuation is apt to be
largely a matter of commas and dashes,
and nicely observed paragraphing is not
characteristic of women's letters. These
details might be bettered, but, after all,
they are not essentials and 1t may we'll
be argued that familiar letters should
not be punctuated with the elaborate
care that one gives to the punctuation
of a literary essay.
Good letter writing is much like good
talking: the bett takers are not those
who have the most important message to
deliver: they are rather those who know
best how to present what they have to
say. Now the curse of domestic con-
versation is the inability of most takers.
whether men or women. to distinguish
between the essential and the non-essen-
tial. There are well-meaning men and
women who will take ten minutes to
sketch the plot of a play or of a book.
and that without adjoining their sketch
by means OF a selective intelligence which
excludes what has no essential relation
to the thing in hand. There are others
who will relate a trivial incident in mer-
CHESS detail, apparently without q
thought that narrative should have its
lights and shades. There is no excuse for
relating domestic or rather incidents in
conversation unless they are distinguish
ed by some trait of hunor. some genuine
tc',cn Of pathos. some revelation of the
human heart or mind. We are seldom

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, July 4.-Money was plentiful
on the market today and discounts were
weak.
The stock exchange finished the week
inactive. Cheap money sustained gilt
edged securities. but home rails showed
irregularity, and the speculative issues
were inclined to droop in the absence of
support. American securities were I'M
interesting, owing to the Fourth of July.
and dealers had no incentive to operate on
either side of the market, which closed
dull. with little change from yesterday
Grand Trunk was slightly easier.

is dust proof and the entire mechanism is
inclosed in large dust-proof case.
Another important feature of the time
lock is the provision made to protect 1t

by use of explosives. All parts of the
lock are protected thoroughly, and should
an explosion occur heavy enough to in
jure destroy the movement. the slide
which locks the safe mechanism will re-

the safe locked as firmly as If the move

One hopeful and encouraging feature of
the situation is the we'll known fact that
the panic was not caused by overproduc-
ton in any important line.
Whenever the buying power Of our So
100000 population becomes stimulated
there must OF necessity follow reopening
OF manufactures, for the shelves are not
well stocked and any large demand will
have to be met by new production at first
hand. This very fact contains in itself
promise that when prosperity returns 1t
will come with a rush-as suddenly as the
panic brought disaster last fall. The sig
nal for this return OF good times may be
the impending large movement of farm
products. That may be the lubricant to
start in motion all the vast buying and
productive machinery of the nation.

TREACHEROUS SALT RIVER SANDS
CHEATED Of HUMAN VICTIMS
John KrouSe Was Rescued In
Brink of Time and Two Other
eMn Have Very Marrow
Escapes.

PHOENIX, Dec. 25.-- Special -
But for the presence of men on horse
back. John Krouse would probably be
somewhere in the shifting sand of the
| Salt River yesterday instead of alive
and well. Krouse attempted to cross
the river at the foot of Seventh avenue
yesterday afternoon at o'clock and
was caught in the quicksand.
Krouse's horse was drowned and
washed down the river along with his
buggy, and Krouse would probably
have met the same fate had not a man
on horseback, who saw his predica-
ment, rode in and thrown him a rope.
The rescue was equally as thrilling
as that of last week when James
Shot Towed across the river several
times to rescue the men marooned on
an island Krouse was in more inn
mediate danger of drowning than the
men saved by Shot. =,
Krouse ventured into the stream
but short distance when his horse
sank cut of sight in the quicksand,
the buggy following quickly. While
the animal was floundering about and
! drowning, the horseman came to
Krouse's rescue.
| Another Narrow Escape.
= Hoghe, please take me out of here.
I'll never see my mother again"
With these fateful words, spoken in
tones of fear and despair, Leon ia
cobs threw his arms around the neck
| of Supervisor Hoghe in the middle OF
the Sale river yesterday when it look
| ed as If they would never get out.
| Hoghe and Jacobs were on their
way across the river 10 Hosnets nome
: stead, and when they got well toward
! the middle of the treacherous stream.
Hoghe's fine driving horse Hamburger
/ Oh So, began to founder about in the
I quicksand.
| Hoghe was excited, but Jacobs was
! scared. His classic features turned
iNale, and in that awful few minutes
he prayed as he never prayed before
that his guardian angel would not de
sert him.
! When Hoghes horse went in almost
TO the backbone, the buggy also went
down until the muddy water swept
through the bed and carried away
several slabs of bacon and a box OF
provisions Hoghe was taking to his
ranch.
Ailti HOuluSElHS around IN the
quicksand, Hoghe managed to turn
his horse and reach the bank of the
river, but not until after he had him
self received a fright that almost
tequalled that of Jacobs. With a less
powerful horse, both would have had
to jump and trust TO luck.
Hoghe has crossed the Salt river
dozens of times when it was up, and
this is the second time that he has
had a narrow escape. Both times he
has lost buggy load of provisions he
was taking across to his ranch.
In explanation of the thrilling event
Hoghe said he selected a crossing
where the ripples indicated that there
was rock bottom. When he got
into the deep water he found that in
stead of rocks there was quicksand.
Jacobs refused to discuss the matter
today, and said that the report that
he was scared in the least contains
no more truth than the majority of
Supervisor Hoghe's Mulhatton yarns.
