There is nothing pretty or beinteresting about the flat region tween the mouth of the river and the big town where the Grand canal joins river route andaometimea the road.

By this It ia meant that if a blue rose ia ever produced from n rad variety, for instance, the change will not be a sudden one, a leap from one color to the other, but the result of a gradual progression through a series of stepa leading regularly from red to blue. In fact, it has been found that both plants and animals exhibit a tendency toward a definite succession of colors, and certain colors have been regarded as representing higher stages of evolution than others. The change toward these higher color ere usually continuous, and require a series of variations, while on the other hand, instances of sudden reversion to lower oolors are not common. Red is regarded as a higher color, in this sense, than yellow. The yellow primrose sometimes varies to red, but the changed never sudden or discontinuous because it is a change In the direction of progression. But from red to yellow the change sometimes occur by a jump, so to speak, because ifjWiit is going backward. The same thing seem to apply in the case of vJsl birds.
