World Bank Policy clded to recommend a new policy for the Bank for International Settleâ€" ments designed to eliminate radical @uctuations in national exchanges. The other set of triplets are stlil in infancy. They ara now over two, but worse only seventeen months when they wore examined. These boys look very much alike, although the parents are ablo to tell which is which withâ€" out any great dificulty. The fingerâ€" prints follow the same pattern, which is difforent from thelrp only sister. They are all lefthanded; all are backâ€" ward about walking; and all suffered trom the coming of the various teeth simultaneousiy. The International Bank Council meets Dec. 12. . The identical triplets reported by Professors Clarke and Revell are all boys. One set are the children of a family of German origin living in Stony Plain, Alberta. They are fine lads, now ten years old, and they are the yvoungest of fourteen children. They look so much alike that their mother resorted to the scheme of having each wear a gold bracelet with his name engraved on it for identtâ€" fcation. ‘The hair of all three grows in an odd clockâ€"wise whorl at the back of the neck, although no other memâ€" ber of the family has this characterâ€" Istic. ‘The fAinger and paim prints of the triplets also follow & similar patâ€"| tern, which is like that of the tather.' but unlike any others in the umfly.’ The boys received practically the| sams score on an intelligence test;‘ they enjoy the samo games and sports; and in school they all are, good in arithmetic and poor in lanâ€" guago. l Triplets are usually of this nonâ€" ldentical type, because when a divisâ€" lon occurs in the egg cell, the tendâ€" ency is for it to form two parts, not three. When twins develop from separate egg colls, or zygotes, they are no more alike than ordinary brothers and sisâ€" ters, except that they are of the same ago. Indeed, they may bo dectded contrasts in temperament as well as physical appearance. Triplets of this type are. like idenâ€" tical twins, developed from a single egx cell. They are always of the same sex, and since they have_the same hereditary endowment, they are very much alike in appearance and also in mental and emotional makeâ€" up. Says Sctence Service‘s "Daily Science News Bulletin" (Washington). Two cases of that extremely rare phenomenon, human identical triplets have been revealed by Alfred E. Clarke and Daniel G. Revell, biologists of the University of Alberta, Canada. Perkhaps 1 select a handkerchiet for a friend.

He was revered in the conâ€" turies preceding Columbus as god of the arts and crafts and of general culture. The tradition was that after Instructing the people in the useful arts ho departed eastward over the sea, promising to return in a speciâ€" fled year. Ho was whiteâ€"skinned and bearded and when the Spaniards therefore made their first irruption in the year specified in the legend a hesitating policy was followed toward them by the natives which enormously facillitated Spanish penetration, The statement refers to Quetzalâ€" coatl as "the symbol of our aboriginal dieties and of our apostles, the foreâ€" runners of our christian civilization."
