Professor Barcroft, an. eminent English biologist, whose stud ies in the coloring matter of blood have brought much fresh information to light, is quoted in the London Times as. follows:' Blood is not necessarily red. We cannot tell why it should not have been green. Indeed, among higher' animals there are occasional speci- mens that tend in that direction. I have seen, for instance, a rat with brown blood. The cuttlefish has bide blood, or blood that is sometimes blue.. Just as Truman blood changes its color each tinie it traverses the lungs, so /that of the cuttlefishchanges each time it is driven through the creature's • gills.

First Sunday School Founded by a Woman. Sunday School Day, which has just been observed by more than 30,000,000 scholars and teachers in England, is a celebration that contrasts with the humble beginnings of the movement. Sunday schools were fo.rnially found- ed by Robert Raikes, a Gloucester printer and publisher, who, in 1780, no- ticing some urchins playing in the street on a Sunday morning, collected a number of them and formed them into 'a class for private religious in- struction.: His account of the innovation, pub- lished in the. Gloucester Journal, was copied by the London press, and in this way the great Sundayschool sys- tem was launched. -A statue of Raikes is on the Thanes embankment. But it is wrong to credit .him with being the sole originator of the idea. The honor rightly belongs to Hannah. "One of them," replied Pat, "is that Bail, of High Wycombe, who opened. a Sunday class in 1769.
