The detailed adaptations of structure to function are remarkable enough-the way a joint works, the focussing of the eye, the coustruction of the hand. These have been almost among the common- places of sclerico for ware time, and have often been described. Of recent years. however, attention has been more and more drawn to the working of the machine as a whole, to the way in which its differ ent structures co-operate. Their functions interlack that there results harmour aml not chaos.

The regulation of the acidity of the bloods one of the best illustrations of the delines of the process involved. In ordinary circunstanee blood acility is de termined by the amount of airbonic acid in the blood, and this in its turn depends chiefly on two things-on the rate at which it is being produced by the muscles, and which it s being got rid of by the rate at the fun.

And ordered their estate. God has given each his station,
Some have riches and high place, Some have lowly homes and labour,
