The first known concrete high-

into the roadbed about twelve
inches thick.

lions of head transference he saw
in London. The experiments may
lead to the creation of two new
sexes, he said. Dr. Wood saw
the head of a malt bottle trans-
ferred to the body of a female
beelte, while the female’s head
was transferred to the body of
the decapitated male.
Both beetles recovered and
showed a complete reversal of
form, the head apparently deter-
mining the sex habits. The new
sexes thus created were called
masculine-female and feminine-
male.
“If this transmission of sex
characteristics by the exchange
of heads could be applied to the
human race,” Dr. Wood said,
“the possibilities would be startl-
ing. The head of a famous scien-
tist about to die could be grafted
to tthe body of a laborer or con-
vict about to be executed. In
this way the brain of the genius
would never be lost to mankind.”
