Interesting Search.

William Dana circuit, whose new
novel. THE Moth" has just been pub
lished by the Harpers. is noted for his
extreme diligence in verifying all his
torical facts that appear in his novels.
When writing one of his earlier nov
els, The SPELL" he made a special
trip to Florence in order to verify GER
tain illusions and locations. One of
the first, pilgrimages was to San Do
menico to find the ancient inscription
upon the wall, which Helen Armstrong
points out to her husband in the first
chapter. Says the author, Il had never
been able to discover where | obtained
this data. so was particularly anxious
TO verify it. One morning, accompanied
by Mrs. circuit, set out on what SEEM
ed hopeless quest. We located the
old Etruscan wall, with its curious
marks, but no legends. Finally we
came to some fiaring posters announ.
cling an auction sale. and beneath
these, when pulled aside. we found
the Latin words, cut deep in the
stone"

CoIors of Sea Water,

1t has been proved that the blue
ness of sea water is in constant ratio
to its sadness. In the tropics the
tremendous evaporation induced by
the blazing sun causes the water to be
much more salt than it is in higher
ATTITUDES.
For about 30 degrees both north and
south of the equator the waters oil
the worlds oceans are of an exquisite
azure. Beyond these ATTITUDES the
blue fades and changes to green, and
in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the
greens are almost as vivid as the trop
ical blues.
Chinas Yellow sea is usually sup
posed to owe it's origin to the flood OF
muddy water which it's great river
pours into it. But here. again, mod
ern science has proved that living
organisms are responsible for its pc
culiar tint.

A NATURAL OBJECT.LESSON IN
HEREDITY.-

The long looked-for history of the
HALIFAX family has at last come
from the press of the publishers.
Under the auspices of the Training
School for Feeble Minded at Vine
land, N. j., DR.. Henry H. Goddard
has investigated and compiled the re-
suits of his work of this most re-
markable family. During Revolu-
tionary days, the first Martin Kalli-
kak (the name is flctitious), descend
ed from a long line of good English
ancestry, took advantage of feeble
minded girl. The result of their in
dulgence was feeble minded son
This son married a normal woman.
They in turn produced five feeble
minded and two normal children.
Practically all of the descendants of
these detectives have been traced as
we'll as those of the two normals.
From both normal and defective
descendants of this Union came a
long lime of defective stock. There
were $50 in all. OF these thirty-six
we're illegitimate, thirty-three sexual
~ normal, twenty-four confirmed a.
coholics and three epihs - =. Eighty
two died in infancy, three were erin
inal, eight kept houses Of i'll fame.
and 143 were distinctly feeble mind
ed. Only forty-six were found who
] were apparently normal. The rest
are unknown or doubtful. But the
scion of the good family who started
this long line of delinquent and de-
fective progeny, is also responsible
for a strain of an entirely different
character. After the Revolutionary
Was was over, he married a Quaker
girl OF good ancestry and settled
down to live a respectable life after
the traditions of his fcrefathers.
From this legal union with normal
woman there have been 496 descend
ants. All of these except two have
been normal mentally. The excep-
lions were cases of insanity, pre-
sumably inherited through marriage
with an outside strain in which there
, was a constitutional psychopathic
tendency In all the 496 there is
not an instance of feeble mindedness.
The offspring descended from this
side of the house nave universally

of life. They have never been Grim.
inals or ne'er-do-wells. On the
other hand, there has not been a
single instance of exceptional ability
among the. descendants of the first
| Martin HALIFAX and the feeble mind
! ed girl. Most of these descendants
have failed to rise above the level
of mediocrity; indeed, most of them
+, have fallen far below even this mini
mum standard. This striking study
/ in heredity is commented on at length
| in recent number of The Journal OF
the American Medical Association.

he failed to get it. Mrs. Lemons
saw that Travers was going down
and plunged into the water, seized
the man firmly, and then paddle
with him to the bank, few feet
away. A cave-in recently occurred
at this point. and the batture is very
high. A ladder was used to enable
the man and his rescuer to reach
the top of the bank.
