NATURE HAS STRANGE LAWS
Experiments With Tiny Animals and
Insects Reveal interesting Data
on Color Inheritance.

Fruit flies mice, guinea pigs, rats.
chickens, pigeons, fish and other small
animals now teach many facts about
natures laws to students of expert
mental breeding. knowledge of hered-
ity today IS largely based on study of
Inheritance of color, and many inter
esting experiments with tiny animals
and insects are being carried on at the
University Of Wisconsin.
Small animals are studied in this
research 20 shorten the time Of expert
ment. More generations of guinea pigs
or mice can be studied in year than
could be studied in a decade If the
subjects were cattle. If a pair of fruit
flies are stoppered in a bottle. II days
later hundreds will be swarming in
side. And, as some have white eyes
and some have red much may be
learned from them about color inheri-
lance.
The direct relation Of color to in
heritance is shown by the fact that if
red-eyed male fly ana a white-eyed
female be mated, the sons will have
white eyes and the daughters win have
red eyes On the other hand. If
white-eyed male and a red-eyed female
be mated all offspring will have red
eyes. This is the same principle on
which color blindness is inherited in
mankind. Similar experiments with
mice Of various colors teach other facts
of coIOr inheritance

Derivation Of aGermanx.,,

German" and Germany" come from
the Latin GermanicuS and Germania.
which were the Roman names for the
Germans and their country. The words
are supposed to be from a Celtic root
which some say meant "shouters" and
others say meant 'neighborS." The
Germans call themselves "Deutsch."
which is from the same root as
Clutch" and "Teuton" The root
meant of the people" or belonging TO
the people" and may have been the re-
suit Of an effort TO put into barbarian
tongue the Greek word ethnikos. mean
Ing the same thing "of the people" or
racial" The relation between
''Deutsch" and "Teutou" is more easily
seen when we consider that "Deutsch"
used to be spelled 'TeutSch."

Worlds Gold Production.

The worlds production of gold, from
1892 to 1917, is estimated at $4,000
100000, while the production in the
United States was $3925,O 100000, or
about - per cent Of the worlds pro-
duCtion in that period, according 10 a
compilation Of the foreign trade de-
partment Of the National City bank.
The SIG GO0OO0,O00 worth of gold is
not to be taken as a measure Of the
quantity of gold now available for cur
rency purposes. The worlds consump.
ton of gold for Industrial purposes
alone now exceeds S175,000000 a
year, to say nothing of the loss by abra-
sion and the amount boarded. AS Il re-
suit, the worlds present stock Of gold
money is about $S500.0O00O0. or but
little more than one-half of the actual
value of gold known to have been pro-
duced since the discovery Of America.

JAPAN VERY BADLY CROWDED
Emigration Not a Mere Convenience,
as With European Nations, but
an Immediate Necessity.

The area Of the United States is
nearly twenty-five times that of Ja-
pan. but the population Of Japan is
almost six-tenths that of the United
States. Within an area smaller than
California, Japan has a population Of
- times greater density To every
square mile Of the Flowery Kingdom
there Is a population Of $40 souls
almost five times that of China. And
the inhabitants Of Japan are increas-
ing the rate of $4,000 a year. Such
are some of the fucts. suhsiantiated
by works of reference as authoritative
as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Before the present war the problem
Of congested population in Europe
found solution either in emigration or
in colonization overseas; after the war
the problem will be less acute. Amer
lea opened its doors to Europe-and
besides this outlet all the great Euro
pean powers had colonies in other
hemiSpheres.
But whereas with European nations.
emigration was convenience, with
Japan it is a growing and immediate
necessity. In all Pan-America, with
the exception Of Mexico Asiatics are
unwelcOme. Australia has shut her
doors against Asiatic emigration. In
northern China there are large tracts
of land not so thickly populated, but
the European world holds jealous in
terests in this area.
