Adaptability to Climate

: Inasmuch as the regulation of body
temperature is greatly facilitated by the
evaporation of perspiration from the skin,
the development of an efficient system
of sweat-glands Is distinct advantage
to those races which have to live In the
warmer climates. 1t is often asserted
that Negro races are particularly adapted
TO residence in the tropics: and the ques-
ton of the relative development Of their
sweat-glands is at once raised. Mr.. Ell
bert Clark of the department of anatomy
in the University of the Philippines at
Manila has accordingly investigated the
relative number of these in different
peoples After measurements on Ameri-
can soldiers. Philippine scouts and per-
sons of both colors in civil life, he has
come to the conclusion that the Malay
possesses from IL to 10 per cent more
sweat glands that the white. Negroes
have an excess of perhaps 7 per cent.
Counts thus far made on Negroes give
an excess of q per cent for adults and
81 per cent for youths. If these facts
are substantiated and the relative capa-

Who Invented Paper?

through Arabia, the figures with which
we do our sums, but 1t is not generally
known that we also have them to thank
for paper
At various times the scholars of diff
ferent countries have tried definitely to
determine the real discoverer of paper in
the eleventh century. 1t is to paper that
we owe the renaissance of letters. From
time immemorial something answering
modern paper was used in China, where
1t was manufactured from silk. About
the middle of the seventh century of our
era there seems to have been estab-
lished In Arabia a mandatory of pa
per, and fifty years later the way was
discovered to make it from cotton in
stead of from silk, silk being a rare
commodity outside of China at that time
and cotton relatively plentiful. In the
reign of Henry II. of France a Greek
scholar was sent to Paris to arrange sys-
tematically a catalogue of antique man

Illusi.e Allusiops

From the London Chronicle.
Have you ever noticed that when you
are puzzled by some unfamiliar word or
phrase that word or phrase will crop up
again in a mysterious fashion in some
book or paper that you take up shortly
afterwards? Most of the people with
whom have compared notes on the sub
iect have had this experience repeatedly.
In fact, a busy newspaper man confided
TO me that when arrested by an unusual
reference in his reading he does not al
ways seek immediate enlightenment, but
waits with a confidence that is rarely
disappointed for the re-appearance of
the allusion elsewhere to bring the need
ed illumination and he told me of some
remarkable coincidences in this respect.
One of the oldest examples of the kind
is narrated by Oliver Wendell Holmes,
who one evening was discussing with
some friends the subject of murder mys-
teries He had a vague recollection of
hearing of strange murder committed
in England during the last century, but
could not verify the matter or supply
any details On the following morning
~he received a newspaper from a friend
in England who had marked for DR..
Holiness attention a passage in the pa
per recounting the very tragedy for the
particulars of which he was in search.

T. VERY facility is being extended

London January 1S.-(Speeiai)-It is
quite within the possibilities that an
American girl may one day be Queen of
England. A few months ago-indeed,
few weeks ago, no more-British
matrons would have laughed or ragged
at the suggestion. A bare few years
ago Ii would have been branded as lese
majesty--little short of high treason.
in fact. But ''the world does move
and even kings and queens have to
move with the world. A chance re-
mark recently dropped by Queen Mary
has given rise to the belief that her
majesty is disposed to welcome the
breaking down of the traditional bar
rier which forbids royalties from mat
rimonial alliances outside the circle of
reisning houses.
Queen Mary is quoted as having said:
After all. love is everything to man
or woman. 1t is absurd that the Prince
should be forbidden from wooing where
his heart may fly. A throne without
love Is not worth having
Queen Mary is happily married.
George was her first and only love- al
though she was attended to be the
bride of Prince Albert Victor, his elder
brother and at that time heir presump-
tive. Her remark is accepted as limiting
at the possibility that when the Prince
of Wales goes to the United States
to represent the British empire at the
opening of the Panama-Pac exposi-
tion he may bring back something more
lovely and substantial than mere Amer
lean good wishes. The Queen is ex-
ceedingly fond of our American peer
esses and many think that she would
welcome with JOY an American daugh-
| ter-in-law, If ministers and the other
powers that be only succeed In cutting
the Gordian knot OF noblesse oblige.
