AIbinos.

Albinism is much more common
in some of the lower animals than
in man. White rabbits, white cats,
white mice and white ferrets are all
albinos. The farfamed white Gle
plant of Siam is another specimen
of the same curious condition. Al
binism is due to absolute lack OF
coloring matter in the hair, eyes
and other structures, and the rea-
son why the eyes Of an albino APP
pear to be pink is simply because
the cyeball, being colorless and
transparent, permits the blood err
culating at the back of it TO be
plainly visible. 1t is not generally
known that albinism is hereditary
in man as in other animals. In
Circassia are number of families
nearly every member OF which has
for generations back been a pure
Albino.
