This first black leopard even may have
been driven from his homeland and forced to
live as a refugee in some other forest. Here
too, perhaps. he was not SO welcome because
of his strange coat. But if he did survive
eventually he could have met another leopard

could happen in one forest it might happen in
another These two leopards. able to produce
black offspring, might have mated Gradually
a strain of black leopards might have been
built up.
Scientists today although they know that
minute changes in certain parts of the tiny
body cells are what cause mutations OF spots
still are looking for the real explanation of
what suddenly causes those minute changes.
Some have suggested that it is eosmic rays
from outer space which. as they constantly

sudden changes to plant and animal cells and
so change heredity that they bring out

freaks in nature. One cell may be more
susceptible to these mysterious forces than
another and so have its entire mechanism
turned topsy-turvy by a single impact
Exposure to Mays we know. can cause re-
markable changes in plants.

rays from the radium lying buried in certain
spots on the earth that started such things

Yet science is by no means ready 10 settle on

ings of the cells responsible for sports than
about the outer forces that may cause them.
Using man as an example, in the center
of every cell in our bodies we have forty-eight
microscopic sausage shaped objects called
chromosomes. They are made up of different
kinds of chemical molecules called genes
When the cells from the mother and father
unite to form an offspring each minute gene
which the baby inherits determines some part
of its physical characteristics
In general these chemical molecules or

genes, don't change but are passed
on from general on to generation
Like begets like and a certain race
or breed is formed-with each in
dividual much like the rest. But
when some unknown cause radi-
cally changes one of these genes
in the parents. as occasionally hap
pens, sport OIL new kind of in
dividual is formed.
In the spotted leopards having
black offspring, it is the gene
with the job of making black
coloring matter that is changed.
Black. although this may sound
unbelievable, is the most common
type of color found in animals and
man. 1t might be called the dye
of life"
One of the tiny genes in the
body is responsible for passing on
this dye of life" to each new ami
major child 5Jife-reasor ali dri-

that the gene that handles the

from two parents of pure" spotted strain.
Before a black leopard could appear on
the face of the earth it was necessary that
two copies of the changed gene, one in a male
and one in a female, be out in circulation in
the leopard world.
The leopards carrying these changed genes
would themselves have been spotted. II was
necessary that among all of the leopards in
the forest these two must meet and mate!
Then laws of chance began to operate.
For every four cubs born to this pair; one
would receive a normal gene from both
parents, and be spotted; two would each re-
ceive normal gene from one parent and
changed gene from the other parent. These
two would themselves be spotted but carry
the changed gene a silent partner"
latent gene, as did their parents.
The fourth would receive changed gene
from each parent and be black.
When two black leopards mate, as in the
Philadelphia case, the offspring must always
be black, because the cubs could not receive
any normal genes from either parent

stops before it turns out a coal black model
although it does let some spots get black But,
if through some yet unexplained force the
colorng gene gets changed that it works
right on until its job is completed on all the
fur then black leopard is the result.
The way Nature colors the fur and skin
of animals and man works something like the
old method of colorng Easter eggs back on
the farm in grandmother's time. Dye was
scarce or unheard of for such things so eggs
sometimes were colored in the coffee pot-in
the blacklist coffee possible
Nature doesn't use coffee. of course, but
a black .coloring matter which biologists call
melanin. She doesn't dip developing animals
and humans in a dye bath either but If we
repeat the egg -coloring experiment now in the
kitchen it gives a simple picture of how the
genes stop the coloring job when a certain
shade is reached.
First we will place white egg in the pot
Of black coffee for an instant, take it out, and
wash II under the tap.
The egg will have taken on a yellowish tint

and only let the spots go
to black. The changed
gene was a silent part

these leopards also
turned out to be spotted
their offspring had a
bigger chance of becom-
ing black than did those

Distinguished Philadelphia Geneticist.

H>AN the leopard change his spots? ,"
the Prophet jeremiah Jeremiah xiii
verse 23l, asked in effect. back in the
seventh century b. c. for, he reasoned. if a
leopard could perform such miracle then
may We also do good, that are accustomed to
do evil"
The prophets chief lament at the time
the disaster which the sons of JerI-
salem were continually bringing upon them
selves by their wickedness But he was only
partly right when he used the leopard's inabil-
ity to change its spots as a measure of their
deep-dyed iniquty,
Sometimes these animals do change to a
suit of unblemished sable.
Recently two baby black leopards were
born at the Philadelphia Geological Gardens
They were not unique for both parents were
black
Scientists now able to explain the
changing-or vanishing of the spots a thing
jeremiah would not have understood.
Certain laws discovered by the Austrian
Monk endel-now called the laws of gen
etics govern the way in which plants, ami
mails and man inherit body shapes, color and
other physical characteristics
How the leopard came to change his spots
has been learned. not so. much from the
leopard himself for these animals neither
common nor cheap in ZOOS, but through the
study of laboratory rats.

Decoration
Scale Chairs
To Room
Size
By WILLIAM X. CLARK

so YOU are going TO buy a
chair, or a sofa, or a loveseat?
Then here are three suggestions
in purchasing upholstered fur
niture which may prove invalu-
able.
Select pieces scaled to the size
OF your room.
Know your dealer. -----
Remember that the adage, you
get what you pay for. was never
said more truly than when it
concerned furniture.
Scaling
This matter of scaling chairs
and sofas 10 fit the room in
which they are being used can
not be over-stressed. A huge
lounge sofa may look and be the
most comfortable piece of uphol-
sterer's craft in the world, but
in an average size room. II is
too heavy cargo and will sink
the entire decorative scheme.
If comfort is paramount, as it
frequently is. you may get it
without using a piece OF I'M
wieldly proportions. For example.
in buying a lounge chair, look
for one with a long seat cush-
ion. a button-back rather than
a puffy loose pillow-back. and
having simple tapered legs
rather than Dubious feet which
bring the piece TO a hugging re-
lationship with the floor and give
II an anchored, too-heavy APP
pearance.
Trust Dealer
Having assured yourself that
comfort may be obtained with
out sacrifice of styling, the next
step is TO know your dealer. The
article you are buying is pur-
chased hlindly so far as its con-
struction is concerned.
1t is possible 10 lift the hood
OF a motor car and listen 10 the
quality OF the motor, but when
YOU buy q sofa or a chair. you
must rely on its eye-appeal and
the word Of the dealer as 10 its
quality.
Construction
The following are traits OF
good construction:
The frame: Dowelled and
glued joints instead of nails. In
especially fine pieces, the ma
hogany or walnut of the ex-
posed part of the back legs will
continue on up under the fabric
cover TO the. top of the chairs
back.
The upholstery materials: Coil
springs and firmly woven web
hing 10 form the platform" or
cushion support. Horse-hair.
black or white, for the actual
shaping of the back and arms,
rather than moss which will in
Varlably be used in a bargain
chair. Sponge rubber is some
times used, but you will pay for
this.
Cushion
The cushion: Either down or
a good spring unit. Down re-
quireS more care and is more
expensive, but is considered the
ultimate in comfort. There are
varying grades Of down, which
are mixed with percentage of
feathers To give them body. but
you may feel secure with any OF
them.
And il you prefer spring
cushions. make sure only that
you are getting a muslin
wrapped unit in each cushion
rather than having the outer
covering applied with only a
thin layer of padding between
it and the bare steel springs.
When you buy A chair or a
sofa. ask for these details Of
construction. Get them, and
whatever the cost Of the piece,
sale priced or not, you will he
certain of getting satisfaction.

you with your home decoration
problems. Please enclose

lope for a personal reply and
