Changing Life-forms through Chemical Action.—

It is announced in flaring headlines that Prof. W. T. Clark, of the University of California, has been able to change and control life-forms by chemical excitation. The demonstration has been made in the growth of the wings of the rose aphis. But some men have discovered this long ago in respect to man's nose. Surely, in many cases, it has been abnormally developed by chemical excitation; witness, for instance, the huge “rum blossoms” which one meets daily.
