BLOND AND BRUNETTE. The Bxtrdmcs In tho Distribution of the Two Throughout Itarope. In n rough wny, the extremes In tho dis tribution of the blond nnd brunette vnrlo ties within tho population of Europe nre ns follows: At tlio northern limit wo find that nbout one-third of the people nro puro blonds, chiirnctcrlEcd by light hair nnd blue eyes; tijxnit ono-tcnth nro puro bru nettes, the remainder, over one-hnlf, lioing mixed, with n tendency to blondrjcss. On tho other hand, In tho south of Italy tho pure blonds havo nltnost entirely disap peared. About ono-half tbo population nre pure brunette with deep brown or black hair, and eyes of n corresponding shade, and the other half is mixed, with a ten dency to brunettenees. The hulf and half lino seems to He about where It ought, not far from the Alps. Yet it does not follow the parallels of latitude. A circle, de scribed with Copenhagen as n center, sweeping around near Vienna, across the middle of Switzerland, thenco up through tho British lslos, might servo roughly to lndicnto such n boundary. North of it hlondncss prevails, nltliough nlwnys with nn nppreclnblo pcrceutngo of pure bru nettes. South of It brunottcnoss finally dominates quito exclusively. It should not fall of noto that townrd tho cast there Is n slight though constant increase of bru nettcnoss along tho same degrees of lntl tudo nud that tho western portion of tho British Isles is n northern outpost of tho brunctto typo. Thus wo seo nt n glanco thnt thcro Is a gradual though constant Increase in tho proportion of dark cyos and hair from north to south. Thcro nro nono of those sharp contrasts which appeared upon our map showing tho distribution of tbo long nnd broad bends in Europe On that map tho extremes wcro separated by only half n continent in cither direction from tho Alps, whereas In tills case tho chango from dark to light covers the whole extent of tho continent. It Is as If nlilcndlng wnsh had been spread over the map of lioad form, toning down all Its sharp racial division lines. Professor William 'A. Ripley In Ap plctons' Popular Science Monthly.
