THE BLOOD LINE.
Most Potent Factor In Telling the Cor
rect Story of Descent.

49, ONSiI " 6S@NSHN
A drop of the blood of walrus
shows no relation with a drop of
whales blood or of the blood of any
other cetacean, such as seals or por-
poises, which, like the wairus, are
mammals that have taken to the
sea, says DR.. William Hanna
Thompson in Everybody's. Instead
Of that, the blood of the walrus i'm
mediately reacts with the blood of
horses, asses and zebras, thus prov
ing that he is an equine that no
longer crops grass, but goes where
he can live on an exclusively fish
diet. Likewise the hippopotamus is
shown to be a modified fish.
Where the blood relationship ex-
lists, but is distant, these reactions
are proportionately faint, but where
no reactions occur there is no rela-
tionship at all. Thus geology indi-
Gates that birds are descended from
reptiles, and, oddly enough, the
blood of a bird shows a distinct
though very faint reaction with the
blood of snake, but none whatever
with that of the winged bat or the
flying squirrel, for these are nam
mails.
On the other hand, the marsupi-
ais, once such a great family, but
now reduced to the kangaroo, the
opossum and a small creature in
South America, have not a single
blood relation left. AS to man, he
has no relationship to monkeys, but
the blood of anthropoid apes shows
a very faint reaction with his. Mean
time all the races Of man are unmis-
takably of one blood, whatever their
color or abode.
Hence the blood is by far the
most hereditary thing about US.
Neither the shape of the skeleton
nor the contour of the body nor
brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intes-
tines, liver or skin nor even ances-
trail habits about the great food
question-how to eat or keep from
being eaten--are comparable 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 so inseparably asso-
ciated.

1t may seem strange that there
was period in English history
when juvenile smoking was en-
forced officially, but it is neverthe-
less true. The diarist Hearne in
writing of the plague of London,
says: Gwen children were obliged
to smoak. And I remember that /
heard formerly Tom Rogers, who
was yeoman beadle, say that when
he was a schoolboy at Elton that
year when the plague ragged all the
boys of that school were obliged to
smoak in the school every morning
and that he was never whipped so
much in his life as he was one
morning for not smoaking." Lon
