There is a very general belief that in raoss mixed with negro blood a practised eye can always detect the strain how- over distant it may be, certain racial characteristics always persisting to some extent," This belief is pronounced incorrect by Dr Poarce Kinizing, of Baltimore, in an article contributed to American Medioine (July 30). Dr Kintzing asserts that "there is no positive sign whereby a very attenuated strain of negro blood may be asserted, the prevalent idea to the contrary notwith- standing. One of the signs generally relied upon to betray negro descent is the color of the finger-nails and Dr Kintzing quotes a number of pasanges to show that this idea has obtained a foothold in literature. He goes on to say:
'Likewise, the idea seems to have gain- ed considerable prevalence in the South, that the nails of the negro possess distinc. tive characteristics, and while one often hears the expression, "nails like a negro,' yat I have failed to find any distinct or uniform idus associated therewith. Perhaps the most prevalent notion is that the lunets are absent.
"
Therefore I formulate the following 1378 proposition: Do the nails of negrova and persons of mixed blood possess distinct Attributes? Is it possible to verify this admixture of blood by. peculiarities of the finger-nails when the general characteristics fail to indicate it?

putty color and ending with café au lait. The foregoing, though homely, is the most accurate that I am able to formulato.
To cite an example falling under the first part of the above paragraph, a boy of six came to the dispensary, and, while I pride myself on being able to classify ne curately the two races, the boy was ontered as white. Later, when he returned with an older sister, the mistake was apparent, yet a close family likeness was noticeable. Among the individuale examined were the members of two Washington families,' who for two generations have passed for white, but who, in the third generation backward, to personal knowledge, showed the light touch of Tabal The chudron of the third generation are of light blond type, with flaxen hair, and in facial conformity are more widely removed from their proto type than the number of generations would indicate. The iris is generally blue, and the sclerotic shows no pigment stains, such as may be observed in mixed blood, nor does the pigment layer underlying the sclerotic impart to it the transparent blua coloration characteristic of negro blood. It is needless to remark that the nails are also negative.
In the course of this investigation, ob- servations were made upon one or two other well-recognized anatomic distinctions, In the white race, without exception, the two alar cartilages of the nose do not meet in the median live in front, but leave a considerable hiatus into which projects the osrtilage of the septum naris. Further, the alar cartilages are sharply beveled, and the interval is most marked at the tip, where they project considerably beyond the tum. This may be readily felt by placing sep- the tip of the finger against the tip of the nose. In the negro race the interval between the two lateral cartilages does not exist, the bevel is wanting, and the cartil agos join each other so symmetrically that. it can not be distinguished, that they are not one piece. I know of no descriptive anatomist who has heretofore called atten- tion to this fact. This peculiarity is fairly persistent, as are all the other traits refer- red to herein, but it likewies fails to main tain itself in much diluted blood, and would not be recognizable when confirma tory signs, such as color of the skin, con- firmation of the face, quality of the hair, odor, and other traits are absent

the mouth of the river, which took an hour, was between banks thickly covered with trees and reeds, the projecting vegetation hampering the passage.
A few moments before entering the Dead Ses, says the correspondent, I sat down at the stom of the ship, facing the wide trail
of soapy froth drawn by the screw, anxious to see the exact spot where the river falls into the lake. My hope of discovering this boundary line was not realised. At the time when I thought I was yet in the Jordan, by the colour of the water and the presence of tangled reeds, ono of the sailors showed me undeniable proof of our being woll out in the Dead Son. In fact, a largo quantity of deed fish, carried along by the current, and killed by the salt water of the lake, wore lying here and there on the beach, or carried up on the bullies emerg ing from the water. The ранкара fro the river to the lake was marked by the most profound desolation. The smiling aspect of the banks of the Jordan was ucceeded by a great stretch of wild and urid mountains, black and grey, and nearly all covered with a heavy crust of salt.

The Tree and The Tram.
Yesterday afternoon while a tram was passing the Naval Yard the arm leading from the car to the overhead wire slipped off. The sudden jerk carried the rope line up in the air and it became entangled in the topmost branch of one of the trees that line the roadway. The tram conductor clam- bered up the tree to release the rope. It was attached to a thin bough, upon which the conductor dared not trust his weight. After some manoeuvring, however, he managed to free the rope and the car wont on its way.
