SCIENTIST ALARMED. REVOLUTION IN SUCCESSION SYSTEM SUGGESTED. United Press Assn, by El. Tel. Copyright (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Nov. 22, The House of Lords is becoming rapidly Americanised through impecunious peers being forced to many heiresses, generally from the United States, to restore their fortunes, so the Oxonian, Dr. F. CSchiller, told the Royal Society. Ho said this was an expedient sometimes biologically ruinous, as heiresses were often the last effort of the degenerate of expiring stock. Dr. Schiller suggested as a remedy that when the first holder of a peerage dies his children and grandchildren should meet to choose tlio one whom they regarded as the worthiest successor.
