If he had been a real genius, rather than a mere lively variation of the commonplace a chicken that could never burst its shell, a bird which could not quite break into song he might have made his biographer guess hard and futilely, as to what he would do after having seen his wife's arms around the neck of another man than himself a man little more than a manual labourer, while he, Jean Jacques Barbille, had come of the people of the Old Regime.

One of the great merits of the tree, its difference of habit, its variation from the ordinary, is thus urged against it. I have spoken of the basket willow, which is scientifically Salix viminalis, and an introduction from Europe, as indeed are many of the family.
* It is the doctrine of all churches in Christendom that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is infinite, eternal, uncreated and omnipotent, as may be seen in the Athanasian Creed. Every change or variation in the state of the human mind means a change or variation in a series of things present and to come; what then of progress to eternity?
To sum up, I believe that species come to be tolerably well-defined objects, and do not at any one period present an inextricable chaos of varying and intermediate links: firstly, because new varieties are very slowly formed, for variation is a very slow process, and natural selection can do nothing until favourable variations chance to occur, and until a place in the natural polity of the country can be better filled by some modification of some one or more of its inhabitants.
Weismann says that the individual modification, by use in walking, is not inherited, but those young are favoured which have at birth a variation in the strength of the stem of the fin. As each of these interpretations is, and must remain, purely theoretical, we will be content to tell the facts in such cases.
There is also another characteristic uncertainty affecting the inference that the law of variation which the quantities observe within our limits of observation, will hold beyond those limits.
This represented scene came into my mind suddenly one evening, a few weeks ago, in contrast with another which I was watching in its reality; namely, a group of gentle school-girls, leaning over Mr. Charles Hallê, as he was playing a variation on "Home, Sweet Home."
There is no reason to believe that a perfectly just social organization which did not attempt to control heredity and the moral character of individuals would succeed in eliminating crime. On the contrary, biological variation alone arising from influences independent of the environment would produce a certain amount of crime.
It is a wonderful fact that the heat of the interior of the body varies very little in a healthy man between India and Greenland. The skin may bear a good many degrees of change of temperature with impunity, but the blood will only suffer a very small variation from the normal temperature of 98-4/10° Fahrenheit without serious consequences.
