"He has let that off on me already, supplemented by the explanation that every extensive Jewish family embraces a genius and a lunatic. He admits that he is the genius. The unfortunate part for me," ended Raphael, laughing, "is, that he is a genius."
With these preliminary remarks, I shall proceed to inquire what is the natural status of man. That man's place is to be looked for in the class mammalia and sub- kingdom vertebrata admits of no doubt, from his possessing both the characters on which these divisions are founded.

Nearly all the mammifera exhale or emit, in the rutting season, peculiar emanations serving to announce from afar to the male the presence of the female and to excite in him the sexual desire.
