HAVING read of speeches in the

outrank those of the United States by
1896 and that Japan would withdraw
from the proposed naval conference of

NATURE REVERSED

Chromosomes Found to

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April ia new
way to turn time backward, reversing
the process of evolution to. learn how
1t has created species, was outlined
today to the American Philosophical
Society.
The chromosomes microscopic
bodies that exist in all living cells and
control heredity, are used to reverse
the evolutionary clock by Prof. Ralph
E. Cleland of Goucher College, Bal
timore. He spoke st the opening ses-
sion of the society's three-day meet
ing.
Mirrors of the Past.
Prof. Cleland explained that the
chromosomes mirror the past by the
way in which they arrange themselves
when the reproductive cells are
formed. New cells always have their
full quota of chromosomes. picked up
from the old cells from which they
grow
When the chromosomes are ar
arranged in pairs in the new cells. he
said. it indicates the parents came
from two closely related species. But
when they form themselves into
chains, like links of sausage, it is a
sign the parents were only distant
cousins, if related at all
This correlation between genetical
relationship and chromosome behavior
makes it relatively easy to determine
the degree of relationship existing be-
tween Species" he explained.
His experiments so far in back
tracking evolution have been with a
plant, the evening primrose. because
it lends itself especially well to such
studies, and plant generations are
shorter than human ones.
Plant and Human Species.
Human chromosomes carry the
tiny genes" which pass on from gen.
Grafton to generation such things as
color of hair and eyes bodily build,
height and even such things as sus-
Ceptibility to some diseases. it is be-
lieved. Plant chromosomes also carry
genes which govern color OF flowers,
odors, shapes, sizes.
Study of the evening primrose
chromosomes, said Prof. Cleland, has
enabled him to reconstruct to large
extent the process by which different
species of the plant in widely sepa-
rated parts of the earth had developed
from common ancestors in the past.
