MAKING ASTUDY
OF HERED|TY LAWS
Major Hurst 0evotes His One
Hundred-Acre Farm to No
Other Purpose.

BIRMINGHAM. Sept. 2o.-Three Sec
tions Of The British Association have
just paid a visit to Major Hurst's hered-
ity farm.
There is no place like 1t In the world
A full. hundred acres are wholly given
UP to things in which these strange
new laws Of heredity may be studied.
Flowers Of all sorts, bushes, trees, rab-
bits. rats, poultry. horses. and more
remarkable still, the village Of BurbaSe,
supply Major Hurst with abundant evil
dence Of the working Of these laws in
human heredity.
One particular fact has been proved in
Burbage villaEe-that red hair in people
and chestnut color in horses is the true
"arfstocratic' color. That Is to say, IL
always comes true" II both parents
are red or chestnut all the children will
be so colored, and this fidelity to type
does not occur In any other color.
A yet more remarkable thing is on the
way TO be efproved. An ear for music, IL
seems, does not come only from the ear.
and this sense Is as aristocratic as red
color; that Is, all children of musical
parents are musical. But there Is also
great comfort for the unmuxical. They
all have music in them. but they have
an extra quality which prevents the
latent musicalness being effective They
are not short Of quality, but they
have a quality extra. and their children
may therefore be musical. This fact.
which Is still debatable ir men. is. in
different qualities. absolutely proved in
the case OF flowers.
Major Hurst showed me beautiful
snapdragons. carnations, and roses, in
which 1t Is absolutely certain that the
most glorious varieties owe their beauty
not to the adding Of It. It would be Inn

FAVORABLE
REPORT ON HOSPITAL
Physicians Place Matter of
tuberculosis Institution
in Hands of Committee.

Wayne county physicians after hear
ing an address by Charles W. Jordan
yesterday afternoon on reasons why
the medical association should en-
dorse the erection of tuberculosis
hospital for this county. turned the
matter over to special committee,
which will report at the next meet
ing.
This organization has already gone
on record as favoring the hospital. and
it is expected that the committee will
return a highly favorable report The
members of the committee are Drs.
Marvel. King and Markley.
The general feeling among physi-
clans is that the hospital. if built. will
meet with much the same reception as
=. keid Memorial hospital. which for
some time did very little good. sim
ply because the people were not edu-
Gated to its advantages. Most of the
physicians are of the opinion that
should the hospital be built. il will be
filed to capacity within a space of
three years.
DR.. Marvel read an interesting paper

ease seems to be on the increase
