Twins May Be Greatly Dissimilar

form of the face and head, of the
ear, the hands and the body are
almost exactly the same in iden-
tical twins but they are rarely, if
ever, the same in dissimilar twins.
More recently, attention is being
given to the way in which the men
tai makeup varies. Illnesses and
abnormalitieS, as for example can
Ger and insanity and various special
traits, such as f1ngerprints and
blood groups, are the same in iden-
tical, but differ in diSsimilar twins.
1t has been found, for instance,
that twins may die of a tumor in
exactly the same organ in each case
at the same age, although this, of
course, is not exceedingly frequent.

Good Business, Not Sentiment
(From the PhiIadeIphia RecOrd


That reduction is not sentimental but
rather a business, issue is recognized by the New
York Trust Company. The August issue of the Index
its intelligent monthly organ leads off with an article
on THE Burden Of Armaments: A Major Obstacle
to Recovery"
1t is interesting to learn that between 1918 and
1929 the population of the United States increased
80 per cent: our national wealth, "a per cent; the
national income lat per cent; and our armament
expenditures, 1876 per cent.
The United States, accustomed to regard itself
as most pacific nation, will spend 100000 more
on its army and navy in this year of government
economy than 'mitarstic" Germany in the year
before the World War.
Our army costs us more than that of France our
navy more than that of Great Britain And, as
President Hoover pointed out last year. 70 per cent
of total federal expenditures attributable to
costs of wars past and wars to come.
The world, although it has close TO 25 0000 900 I'M
employed and much better for its money, still
is spending some $5,0oOOOo,OO0 year in preparation
for another nightmare of destruction.

Provision Is MonStrnuS

TT stands to reason that if a mayor
4 OF New York deserves to be
removed from office, he deserves to
be made ineligible for reelection
during a long period, if not for life.
The monstrosity of a provision
which permits the chief executive
of the greatest city on earth to be
thrown out of office for misconduct
and then become candidate for
reelection within two or three
weeks, is self-evident.
Desirable as removal of incompe-
tent or corrupt municipal officials
by state authority may be, it should
be surrounded with every possible
safeguard. If not, it easily might
lead to organization of such a
political machine as would put Tam
many in the shade.
Mayor Walkers resignation has
been described as bringing the case
to unsatisfactory end, which it
clearly does. But let's not get too
excited over that point, because,
under existing conditions, there was
no hope of bringing it to any other
kind of end.

When Mr.. Justice Hughes ran
against the last Democratic incum-

in 1916 to declare that everything
in the Wilson administration was
above criticism and that he would
duplicate the policies Of his OPP

Naturally he appealed to discon-
tent and misery, too, and asserted
that if he were in office things

it will be with Pat Hurley, when at
some distant date he rises up before
the electorate as the champion of
the people.

Origin of Legend

MARINER seeks to find the basis
4V1 of fact which gave rise to the
story Of the good abbot's adven-
lures.
Stripped of its fanciful and
mythical elements, it purports to be
the record of voyage to some re-
mote island in the Atlantic having
a delightful climate" he writes.
Quite possibly the story may
have as basis an actual voyage to
some pleasant island of the Canary
or Madeira group. Undoubtedly, too,
this story of an island out in the
western sea, blessed with all good
things, harks back to the mythical
Islands of the Blessed of the an
cients-landS of the hearts desire,
where life is free from the common
cares and ills.
Attempts have been made to
connect the story of st. Brandan's
island with Columbian voyages
to America.
Certain legends and Sagas appear
to point to Irish voyages to Iceland
and to large country to the west
ward, some time before the eleventh
century.
"On the basis of these legends, the
story of st. Brandan's island is
taken as embodying the record of
some such voyage. But these at
tempts to connect st. Brandan's is
land with America are far from
convincing.
The stories of Antilla, or the Isle
of the Seven Cities, have much in
common with those of st. Brandan's
island. They go back to the eighth
century, when the Moors descended
on Spain and overran the Iberian
peninsula, and tell of the flight Of
Christian refugees who, under the
leadership of seven bichops, set out
on voyage westward and reached
the Island of Antilla
Here model community of
seven cities, each under the rule of
a bishop, is established.
1T appears on maps as late as the
latter decade of the sixteenth CEN
fury, but after this time it disap-
pears"

St, Brandan'S Adventures

Modern science, while dismiss
WI ing the idea that these islands
ever existed, is inclined to view the
legends as having an original basis
in fact.
DR.. H. A. Mariner discusses the
subject in his excellent book. THE

The stories of st. BrandanAs is
land relate to the marvellous adven-
lures of the Irish abbot, st. Bran
don, who lived in the sixth century.
He is represented in these stories
as undertaking a voyage by sea.
during which he discovers various
islands and sees wonderous sights.
"On one island there were a great
number of white sheep bigger than
oxen. Another island begins to
move when a fire is built on it and
1t turns out to be an enormous fish.
"One of the islands which st.
Brandon visits he finds possessed of
a mild and delightful climate and a
fruitful sofia veritable Land Of
Promise, blessed with an abundance
of all good things. To this island
the name of st. Brandan has been
attached.
"On the maps of the thirteenth
and following centuries, st. Bran
dams island is shown in various To-
cations. Prior to the discovery of
America it generally is placed in the
vicinity of the Canaries or the Ma
deiraS.
Later it is located farther west
and is so represented on map
dating as late as the latter half of
the sixteenth century"
