Color of Eyes in the Sexes.

A physiological observer has come to the conclusion that women have a larger proportion of brown eyes than men. He also finds that the color of the eyes in children does not become fixed until they have arrived at the age of 10 years. It has been pointed out by another investigator that when both parents have eyes of the same tint the chances are forty Vs four that the eyes of the children will develop the same color as they grow up, and then, when the parents have eyes of different colors, the chances are fifty-five to forty-five in favor of brown as against blue or gray eyes in their offspring.—Argonaut.
