Expensive Furs.

Actresses who wish to assert vic

mania for rich furs. The supply
grows scarcer. and the demand rapid
ly rises. The skin of the Andes rat
now costs, first hand. 90 francs. 1t is
this little animal that gives us the
beautiful Chile fur now SO priced for
motor wraps. stojes, muffs and garni
lures. A further rise is expected the

the export of the pelts of the Andes

francs.-Paris Letter to London Truth.

How Exes Arc coIored.

Brown eyes are due to brown pig
ment laid down In the iris; blue eyes
are due to lack of such pigment.
When both parents are brown eyed
the children get the tendency to form
iris pigment from both sides of the
house, and the condition of the pig
ment is said to be duplex. If the chill
dren get the tendency from one parent
only they still have brown eyes, but
the condition Is said to be simplex
If both of the parents lack brown eye
pigment. that is proof that the power
of producing it is absent from their
germ cells. Now, what is absent from
the germ cells cannot be transmitted;
consequently two parents lacking
brown in the iris Cblue eyed will never
have children with brown eyes, but
only with blue eyes. If both parents
have brown eyes simplex, then one III
four of the children will have blue
eyes. If one parent has simplex brown
eyes and the other has blue eyes, one.

eyes. But II In both or either one OF
