...spot," fly so thickly and so low that the natives can lasso them with weighted strings; that the last suicidal migration of the Alas kan lemmings* was in 1888; that, protected against unmitigated sunshine glaring on ice and snow only by crude wooden masks or slit leather straps, the endless days are nights for many snow-blind Eskimos, days of black sunlight; that the Eskimo appetite is prodigious, measurable only by the amount of food available; that thieving is unknown among them; that at their indoor social gatherings it is customary for one and all to sit stripped...
...close-ups of isolated parts of the body. But one does become tired of hundreds of feet devoted to nothing but showing first the wornout boots of the peasants on the tow-path, and later the dainty ankles of the aristocrats in the same position. Then, too, there are endless shots of hands to bring out the contrast between those of the nobility and those of the workers. The face of a clock is shown so often that the sight of it becomes more harrowing to the spectator than to the victim whose span of life it is clicking...

In the male these are male hormones, in the female "female sex" hormones, "ovarian" hormones, and so on according to the causation view held by the research reporter. These hormones influence the secondary sex characteristics-body build, hair distribution...
Round and round and round. The hours merged into nights, the nights into days, until all nights and days were one, an endless circle coiling round and round, until past, present, future, became only a) chain-driven wheel rotating under the arena roof. Who could tell tomorrow from yesterday? Not the pedaling juggernauts. For all they knew, Time had reversed its gears and left them to pump on and on into the past. Douglas Fairbanks offered $200 for a sprint; Mary Pickford's starry gaze followed a little wearily the incessant circlers. A bronzed well-dressed little man kept...
