Yet perhaps the most amazing revival in cdnnection with bad times is that of sailing in the British navy.

How do I know you won't fail in a year or so?’ Thus in laboratories scientists have cut " a certain leg of a low order of animal generation after generation, but never it is said has the lack of a leg resulted in young that inherited the "acquired" leglessness of their elders. Mr. Dutton says his attention was attracted to the possibilities .hat in.. heritance of acquired Lalent might be- come evident in children of aged fa.. thers by the “notewor-hy" numbers of eminent men begotten "by fathers of ripe age." The father of Francis Bacon, he says, was 52; of John Herschel, 54; of Robert Boyle, 61; of William Pitt, Gl; of Samuel Johnson, 53; of John Hun- ter, 65, and of James Parsons, 54. In other words a person who works: hard enough to become a better man can somehow transmit some of this acquired character to his children. Not so has been the recent prepond- erance of isei%ttifie experiments aimed at discovering whether Lamarck was right. These studies tend to revive a wan- ing scientific faith in a method for human beings to improve themselves from generation to generation. The method is the famous Lamarc'c hypo- thesis, a corrollary of evolution, which holds that in the process of natural selection acquired capabilities can be transmitted to offspring. l The same table: showed children hgotten by fathets of more than 45 have twice the channes of inherited capability.
