YOUR USELESS CHIN.
What Mechanical or Physiological
Purpose Does It Serve?

"What is your chin for?' is the odd
query raised by Sir Ray Lancaster, the
scientist, who says he is unable to find
any mechanical or physiological pur-
pose which the chin serves
"The fact that modern races Of man.
kind have chins and most primitive
men whose remains have been found
did not have them naturally leads to
speculation as to why this is So" he
said.
DR.. Forbes Ross agrees with Sir Ray
that the chin is useless in itself, but
gives the following explanation of the
reason for it:
Gail animals that browse have 10
chin at ALL Their teeth slant forward
to allow them to reach easily things
that would otherwise be beyond their
reach. The moment man gave up
browsing on green things and became
less and less an animal his teeth grew
erect, and his jaw had to accommodate
itself. Erect teeth prove man to be far
removed from ruminants, and therefore
man with a we'll marked jaw is fur
Their removed from ruminants than a
man without. That's why we are in
clined to regard a man without a def
mite chin as possessing a mind rather
like sheep, without determination,
without character'-New York Ameri-

Chanqinq a Name.

How a patronymic may be trans
formed out of all recognition is shown
by an instance quoted by Cosmo Innes
in his work on surnames:
"James Halfpenny, Dublin citizen
throve in trade, and his children in
duced him in his later years to change
the name, which they regarded as I'M
dignified. This he did chiefly by drop
ping the last letters. He was buried as
James Halpen. The fortune of the
family did not recede, and his son after
renouncing retail dealing looked about
for a euphonious name. He made no
scruple of dropping the unnecessary
''h,' and, that being done, it was easy
to go in for the Celtic rage, which
Walter Scott had just raised to great
height. Consequently he who had run
the streets as little Kenny Halfpenny
came out at the assemblies of the day
as Kenneth McAlpin''

HEREDITY. AND THE EYES.
Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have Brown Eyed Children.


Since blue and probably gray eyed
parents have no brown pigment in the
outer surface of the iris they cannot
transmit brown to that portion Of their
children'S eyes. This absent character
istic may be one that has been lost or
it may never have been acquired. 1t
Is known in heredity language as a re-
cessive. Hence, to repeat, two recess
sives produce in their offspring only
their recessive condition.
The hereditary behavior of brown eye
color, however, is very different. In
brown eyes actual pigment occurs in
the iris. Here there is something &C.
cumulated to hand on down to subse-
quent generations. The amount that
can be transmitted, however. depends
on ones own hereditary history as we'll
as that of ones consort If both of
Smiths parents belong to brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
given, as it were, a double dose Of
brown his eyes will be dark brown.
Smith will have. in his turn, only
brown eyed children, whatever may be
the color Of his wifes eyes, In the Ian
guage Of hereditary, Smiths brown eye
color dominates over blue or gray.
When Smiths brown eye color has
been derived from one parent only,
then his own eyes will tend to be light
er in color and only half Of his germ
cells will have the potentially for max
ing brown eyes. Hence, if he marries a
blue or gray eyed wife, only half Of his
children will have brown eyes, and a
light brown, too, because Of two gen.
erations of dilution. In case Smiths
wife also has brown eyes derived from
one of her parents only, then three out
Of four of their children will have
brown eyes. but only one Of the three
will get double dose Of brown; hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
all transmit brown in the same degree.
Thus it is possible for brown eyed
parent to have one-half or one-quarter
of his children blue or gray eyed. But
it is never possible for two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed
children.-Independent.
