"The Hereditary Tunnel" W. E. ALLEN California Biological Feature Service. Dr. H. E. Walter of Brown University recently delivered at that biological station a lecture entitled "The Hereditary Tunnel" in which he handled a very difficult subject with extraordinary lucidity. In the main this lecture was a resume of major landmarks in the history of the study of heredity supplemented by comments on a few of the best theories and greatest discoveries. Before and through the time of Darwin and up to the time of Weissmann heredity was considered and discussed only in terms of mature individuals. The fully developed rose plant was compared with its fully developed ancestry. The full grown man was compared with his full grown father or mother. Likenesses of a young child to its parents might be mentioned but no one studied them as indications of heredity. Weishann's discussion of the germ plasm and his insistence upon the importance of its continuity from generation to generation turned attention of scientists from heredity as shown by adult organisms to heredity as a process working through microscopic units of germ plasm or as a power resident in and working from the germ plasm to form each new body in an hereditary series. From studying very late stages of bodily development scientists had suddenly charged to studying extremely early stages of development. To Dr. Walter the former method seemed to be like that of a man who found a stream flowing out from a mountain tunnel and who studied it at that point in an attempt to explain its origin and characteristics. It also seemed to him that the latter method resembled that of a man who found this stream entering the tunnel and who studied it there in an attempt to explain its characteristics. If when coming from the tunnel the stream showed some characters different from those exhibited when entering it would obviously be necessary to study it while in the tunnel in order to reach full or even approximate understanding of its changes. Studies is surrounded by fluid or in contact with other cells or it is affected by various things external to it which constitute so called external environment. One part of a cell may be pushed out of position by another, one cell may be flattened by another, or a whole animal may be carried from one kind of fluid into another. In thousands of ways internal and external conditions have effect upon living substance. As regards heredity the unsolved question is how do all of these things retard or quicken growth or chance it to right or wrong courses. The new science of bodily and gland secretions (endoocrinology) promises some aid in connection with interpretation of effects of internal environment. If one cuts of a tadpole's tail and then watches its replacement he finds that certain parts appear ahead of others, that they grow most rapidly up to a certain point where they show clearly what they are and then that their development is slow while another part that lagged comes out rapidly. This growth into characteristic form is called differentiation and differentiation always shows such tendencies to lag in one part while hastening another as has just been mentioned. This is just as true of a young animal developing from a germ cell as it is in the case of such simple replacement as that of tadpole's tail. If or some reason this rate suffers interference and some part grows fast before its time a monster is formed or death occurs. Hence the control of this rate is very important but we know little about it. Unequal growth is just as necessary and important as unequal rates of differentiation. In a very young stage of a human being nerve substance grows most rapidly and is most abundant. If at this stage muscle or some other substance should make the excessive growth the whole course of development would be thrown out of gear and the result would be death or monstrosity. Still less is known about the conditions which guide unequal growth than is known about rate of differentiation.

If when coming from the tunnel the stream showed some characters different from those exhibited when entering it would obviously be necessary to study it while in the tunnel in order to reach full or even approximate understanding of its changes. Studies of heredity have been some what similar. The stream of life has been studied mainly at the two points only, as already stated, and the median ground is still dark. Amongst the many questions looming up from this dark background he particularly mentioned five: How do germ cells distribute their units which govern development? How does environment affect development? What is the importance of the rate of differentiation? What is the importance of unequal growth? What is the significance of cytoplasmic inheritance? In some animals it has been found that if a certain part of a germ cell be removed certain parts of the body of the animal will fall to grow. Clearly, that part of the germ cell must contain the units which causes the growth of those parts of the body, but even if that is so the question still remains as to how those units in the uninjured germ cell get so distributed as to cause that particular growth. Environment (surroundings) is usually distinguished by biologists as two kinds, internal and external. In the germ cell the parts just mentioned are surrounded by and in contact with other parts. One particle of the cell is adjacent to another particle. This is called internal environment. But the cell as a whole J. E. SCHUMACHER CO. Opp. S. P. Depot W.

HOLLOWAY FUNERAL SATURDAY Funeral service for Charles Holloway has been announced for 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the McAulay funeral parlors, interment to be in Loma Vista. Funeral services for George White is scheduled for 3:30 o'clock, interment to be in Loma Vista. Both these men were killed by a live wire while in the service of the So. Cal. Edison Co. this week a dead wire which they were handling touching the live wire. could represent the individual by a formula AAA or by a triangle all sides of which are equal. An individual of good blood, median environment and poor response would be represented by the formula ABC, or by a triangle with long base, a side of median length, and a short side. Education or corrective effort might enable this individual to overcome the median heredity and poor response to reach the AAA class. This representing different individuals experience pays when applied to an individual of CCC grade offers much less opportunity for such improvement. Most readers are well aware that in order to make a clear statement of a complex problem or a complex condition, it is necessary to omit or ignore many fundamental details which introduce doubtful or contradicting ideas. These statements by Dr. Walter are according to that rule. They are not made for the benefit of those giving deep attention to the subject but for those who wish to get a general idea of it which may be put to more or less practical use. But his explanation involves no particular error and none which cannot be detected at the proper time by a technical student. It is certainly a great service to all of us to have such general explanations made by men who are competent to make them. D. Brunton, formerly principal of the Fullerton high school, and now of Fresno, was a guest Tuesday with Mr. and Mrs. W. L. E. Plummer. The two principals are attending the principals' convention at Pasadena. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Roberson will leave tomorrow for San Diego for a few days' visit with Mrs. Roberson's mother, Mrs. M.
