HUMAN BEINGS ARE BEING BRED

! Abbott Gregor Mendel some a.
years ago discovered certain laws OF
heredity which. after being ignored
| for a time, have lately found accep-
| lance among men of science. so that
| they are now undergoing diligent test
| by numerous researchers, says Cur
rent Literature. The gist of Menders
principal law, to follow Mr.. r. b.
Townsend's study in the Manchester
Guardian. is that when two races are
crossed the first generation of hybrids
comes out more or less as a mixture
of both parents, but that subsequent
" when the hybrids are bred to-
gether half of the second generation
appears to be mixed like the first,
while a quarter of il takes after one
grandparent and a quarter after the
other. and these proportions are re-
pcated in subsequent generations.
Mendel's own experiments were made
in the vegetable kingdom with differ
ent races of peas. More recently eX-
perimcnts on animals have been made
by Darbyshire and others, largely
with mice; the result has been to
prove that on the whole and with GER
tain reserves. Menders law applies to
mammals. or at least to certain species
Of them. And. as men are vastly more
important than mice. to find out if
Mendelism applies TO man is the
problem that is interesting some of
the wisest heads in Europe today
Mouse TO man is a Great jump.
For the purpose Of experiment mice
were chosen because they offer
strongly marked varieties for crossing.
Q. g, the common mouse. the white
mouse, and the curious Waiting
mouse of Japan: besides which we
can breed something like six genera
tons OF them in a year Men also
show varieties as strongly marked as
mice. but the time required for half
dozen generations Of men is more
like two centuries. Also the pedigrees
Of the mice can be kept accurately,
whereas with men arises the difficult
~ of tracing parentage. In Asia,
Africa and America white blood and
black have mingled, and the result
ing mixed races are variously known
as Eurasians. Griquas, Cape bays
mulattOs. and so forth; but the pride
of race comes in as soon as the man
OF science begins to inquire after
their pedigrees. Everywhere the
gin, and alas, are ashamed Of their
black mothers and grandmothers:
thus the pedigrees which are given

on their trees on the edge of the
next lot they were watching with a
landowner orchardist's solicitude. were
rapidly disappearing without any
known ar apparent cause. until one
day they observed the colt very nat

tree, take a peach, eat it. spit out
the pit, reach for another. repeat the
operation, and-well, about the time
he reached for the third one the
family found their curiosity satisfied
and the colt found his repast ended.
Since then he has been living on
quinces-when he can get them-in
the same yard.
And he has prospects of receiving
an education and taking his owner
