MYSTERY OF RED HAIR.
Ihe mystery of red hair, and wliv rt is prevalent in certain families, may be illuminated as one of the results of "a survey now being conducted by British education and health authorities. An anthropometric committee is collecting data from all parts of Britain on the physical characteristics of school children. The effects of environment on physique will thus be further revealed. The committee's findings may explain why there are so many strongholds of the red-lieaded in Scotland, and why a vein of red-haired people runs through some counties in England and Wales, while in other localities the "reds"' are as rare as albinos.
