Vincent Astor is going to put up
another apartment house. 1t will cover
Broadway block and cost between
one and two million dollars. There are
two apartment houses in the city
bigger than this one; but Vincent
owns one of these two, and, for all l
know, the other.
Moreover, Vincent has been running
up skyscrapers all over the city at 4
remarkable rate ever since he same

that things created in families and for every family
there the normal type Whether the full perfection of this
type appears earth the material Universe Ellen
does know; but is evident that it does often so
appear but instead variations from it, less perfect
usually less rather than SO that things
created in this way with certain of possible variation
in each type Thus they vary size color shape and action
producing that harmonious variety in which largely consist
the useful and beautiful Thus, too the
different things made by him. 1t would be funny world
every and every umbrella every house and every other
thing precisely alike Production is from seed but the
usual seed of animal plant is composed of many different
seeds scedets each of which produces different organ
Among seedlets correlation growth And
thus the body is formed a stream composed of
eame Nor possible for it be formed in any other
way except that plant and in animal life the seed may
be a cutting. 1t follows if any scedct is absent lies
dormant in the seed there will be corresponding deficiency
in the thing produced Every character which appears and
be contained in the seed. Otherwise we should have
something from nothing.
