Why Wealthy NOBLEMEN Ought Be

sTHERE are sound scientific reasons why titled Flu.
Topeans should be encouraged in their very
modern tendency to marry chorus girls A
heahy and energetic chorus girl better mate
iof an English duke or French marquis than an Amer
can heiress Is Not only the theory OF eugenics but
al the laws governing the continuance the race with
out physical mental deteroration confirm this state
ment.
The nobleman himself must admit that Il is Of much
ancient family should be enriched that its crumbling
castle was should be- restored :sse
The records of international marriages show that
while American heresses have made themselves useful
In the latter respect these have not been con
spicuousy happy in producing improved new genera
tlon- Usually these have not been happy marriages
viewed from any angle They are essentially worldly
marriages both sides resulting in merely Temporary
advantages In material sehse-whch is the case with
all purely worldly marriages.
But when the lord of the marries chorus girl
he Is likely to lay solid foundation for the future of
his lne In the first place there is for lord
to marry chorus girl unless he truly loves her-loves
her deeply enough to fly in the face all traditions
or his class and to willingly accept the criticism and
snubs Of all his enraged relatives the chorus girl
has nothing to recommend her but personal qualities
elderly lords are sometimes attentive to chorus girls;
but 1t is the lords who fall love with and
seek them in marriage. Is there any reason WHY a
chorus girl should not recprocate the deep and honest
love OF young lord readily would fall into
the arms Of the clerk the mechanic who had won her
heart? 1t must be remembered that the average chorus
girl has nothing in with the village beauty of
old English novels who huttered and an easy prey

This tale has persisted for many
generations in spite Of the we'll
known fact that cats will never get
themselves wet If they can possibly
avoid It.
According to popular belief dogs, as
mans best friends, are supposed to
be able to do almost anything human.
II Austria, for example, it is said
that students are in the habit Of In
toxicating their dogs with strong
drink and making them while In
that condition unpopular characters.
Science declares such a thing pre-
posterous, because an inebriated dog
will invariably lie down in O stupor
and be utterly unable to attack any
body.
1t is said Of wolves that they hunt
down md tear to pieces any member
of the pack that has led them on
false scent. The real explanation OF
this. Is that wolves will eat any
isolated wolf in their front, and that
the close formation of the pack Is q
witness to the VOLTS fear Of being
ahead of the rest.
Similar common sense e1plana-
lions can be found of many things
which are often mistaken for positive
evidences of lnductive reasoning
powers among animals and birds.
All animals, whether quadrupeds
or birds, that feed in herds are said
to place sentries on the outskirts Of
their party. 1t is, however, obvious
that wherever there is a collection Of
animals feeding or lying down there
VIII be members Of the group at the
corners who. by their very position,
become "Sentinels."

row, than. to q recent scientific dis
coyery, the task of making certain
that no man who is unable to dis
eliminate between different colors is
allowed to direct tho movements of
train or ship is made still easier.
1t has been found that color blind
ness is always inherited, and that
the man whose ancestry is free from
1t never exhibits it. The way in
which the defect is handed on from
generation to generation is one of the
most curious which the science Of
heredity has yet found.
Color blindness is always inherited
through the mother, and never
through the father. There appears TO
be no instance in which color-blind
father has transmitted his defect to
his children except in connection with
mother who was n transmitter.
1t does not follow. however, that
the mother herself need be color
blind, but she must have inherited
the power Of transmitting this defect
from the ancestor. Some, probably

ALL the daughters of color.blind

themselves may not be color blind,

about one-half of their offspring of

they do not themselves transmit it;
