As to "birthmarks" and the like being directly caused by things the mother has seen or thought about, such beliefs seem to be founded on a few remarkable pure coincidences and a great deal of folk-lore. Reproduction in its simplest form is, then, simply the division of one cell into two parts, each of which develops into a replica of the original.

In 1657 he executed the picture of the Archery Guild known by the name "het Doelenstück" at Amsterdam Gallery. This work represents three of the overseers of the Guild, with golden prize vases, and a fourth supposed to be the painter himself. It is almost surpassed by a replica on a smaller scale executed in the following year, which is now in the Louvre.

The rest of the New Model were disbanded after the Restoration, but, doubtless in deference to Monk, the Coldstreams were reformed, and became the King's Bodyguard. To Monk, who like Blake was half soldier, half sailor, one of the four medals had been awarded for his services against the Dutch. It was lost, and the replica will take its place.

For it was a replica of the one she had dreamed the night before. It was an omen of divine portent. No one could have doubted it. Missy, waking from its subtle glamour to the full sunlight streaming across her pillow, hugged Poppylinda, crooned over her and, though preparing to sacrifice that golden something whose prospect had gilded her life, sang her way through the duties of her toilet.

Smith collapsed on the floor at my feet. "Examine the one in the rack, Petrie," he whispered, almost inaudibly, "but do not touch it. It may not be yet...." I propped him up against the foot of the stairs, and as the constable began knocking violently at the street door, crossed to the rack and lifted out the replica of the cane which I held in my hand.

Professor Brierly took from his pocket an object that he showed to Conners: "Do you recognize this, Sergeant?" "Why, ain't this the apple with the teeth marks you found in Schurman's refrigerator? How could it keep like this?" "No, it is not, Sergeant; it is a replica. Take it into your hand and you will see it is not an apple. It is a model of the apple you saw.

The very unattractiveness of such a home, however, had certain compensations for Janet, after the effort of early rising had been surmounted, felt a real relief in leaving it; a relief, too, in leaving Fillmore Street, every feature of which was indelibly fixed in her mind, opposite was the blind brick face of a warehouse, and next to that the converted dwelling house that held the shop of A. Bauer, with the familiar replica of a green ten-cent trading stamp painted above it and the somewhat ironical announcement when boar frost whitened the pavement that ice-cold soda was to be had within, as well as cigars and tobacco, fruit and candy.

"What's that?" "A sort of floating business a business that you can set floating." "What a company?" "No, no. A replica of yourself. The great Towle " "He's here to-night." "I knew he was coming. Well, the great Towle detached this astral body once at a seance and, for a joke a silly joke, you know " "Yes, yes."

Her "Ploughing in the Nivernais," 1848, is in the Luxembourg Gallery; "The Horse Fair," 1853, is seen in the National Gallery, London, in a replica, the original being in the United States, purchased by the late A. T. Stewart. Her "Hay Harvest in the Auvergne," 1855, is one of her most important works. After 1867 Mlle. Bonheur did not exhibit at the Salon until 1899, a few weeks before her death.

West did not contribute this money to the hospital fund, but he made a replica for the Quakers, and sent that instead of the original. West was eighty-two years old when he died and he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral after a distinguished and honoured life.
