ter exhaustive studies upon this one species, he
came to the conclusion that the character and
behavior of all organic matter plants as well as
animals is determined by character units which
he taught were invariable and determinate
Thus, in taking the hypothetical cases men
toned above, OF the shrewd cruel father and
the shiftless kind mother, we have here four
distinct character units which, through inherit
auce reappear variously grouped in the off
spring. Mendel taught, on the other hand, that
all traits may be derived from parent, and
that various traits derived from both parents
may reappear not only in the first generation,
bur in the second and third we'll
There is in reality nothing contradictory in
these teachings Il is we'll known that insanity
frequently skips one generation to reappear in
full virulence in the next The tendency of the
insane character unit that is to say, insanity
in latent form, has been handed on from one
generation to the next, and if the person so af-
Hcted were to have a character conforming in
other respects as we'll to that of the insane
grandparent, Mendel and De Vries would both
seem to be right.

thermometer the zones of rain or clear
weather, and the humidity are helpful, but
not essential to the Guilbert plan. Even the
local wind disturbances in the mountains as
well as the magnetic and calorifc changes
are relatively unimportant in predicting the
weather with the wind and pressure method.
The wind is proportional in speed to the
slope of the atmosphere as compared with
the declivity of the ground. The greater
the air slope, the more speed has the wind,
has always been the teaching before. But M.
Guilbert has discovered that this does not
always hold true. Often the wind remains
weak, when theoretically it should be hur-
ricane, and vice versa.
Guilbert has, therefore, established a new

- could be done only with our hands.
The result is that the deft, skilful mechanics
hand, trained by long years of practice to do
some particular work with the greatest eff
cheney, is far rarer thing than it used to
be.
Many fine specimens of mechanics hands
still exist, however, as is shown by the re-
markable collection of hand casts recently
presented to Dartmouth College by Kendall
Banning, who has made the study of hands
hobby and has collected many interesting
facts about them.
The hands of mechanic, says Mr. Ban

the base of the fingers as at the base of the

deficiencies are of the same nature. The mans
deficiency may consist in indiscriminate cruelty
to animals, and human beings as well, but he
may be shrewd and otherwise competent; the
woman, on the other hand, may be stupid to
degree. shittless and thriftess but kindhearted
Children born of these parents may inherit
the cruelty of the father and the stupidity of
the mother, but, as nature always works to
ward the normal in some way which is not yet
understood by science. the tendency OF the OFT
spring will be to he shrewd, deriving the
shrewdness from the father, and kind, deriving
the kindness from the mother. In large fam.

will probably inherit the undesirable qualities,
at least one of them will. but the general
drift is toward soundness of mind
To understand how this can be possible, II is
necessary to remember the teachings of De

Geyed to be contradictory to each other, but

WEATHER FORECASTS to Be Made MORE REL

A NEW scientific method of forecasting
~ the weather is announced by Gabriel
- Guilbert, a French scientist, who
claims that by his plan accurate predictions
can be made in at least a third more cases
than is possible at present
M. Gulberts method, according to the
Control Meteorological Bureau of France,
consists in the bringing together of a long
series of weather observations over many
years at many places. He maintains that
the speed and direction of the surface winds
and the variations in barometrc pressure are
related cause and effect.

Beach, has been kept up to the standard
of sanitation by Miss Davenport, the
teacher, and the only suggestions are that
a large pile of coal ashes be used to fill

Saxton's, No. III, has been one of the

when the Commission reached there, and
they were informed that a considerable
amount of Improvements which have
been recommended heretofore, will be

accommodate the children when the
school is open.
Pleasant Hill, 129, was closed. but the
building is well painted and the schoo.
property very satisfactory.
Pratt's Branch, No. 81, is another dis
trict where the children have advantage
of splendid homes; some of them are
lighted by electricity, and many have
pianos, but in thier school house the chill
dren are Over-crowded. The building
was enlarged several years ago, but more
room is needed now, and the people will
do well to heed the necessity.
Cedar Grove, No. "a, was in charge of
Miss Coverdale. It is in a fine neighbor-
hood and located in the midst of a cedar
grove and everything was in fine condi-

floor should be put down to replace the
two old floors lone on top of the other)
which would make it more comfortable
