AND PERSONALITY 



These two animals also show a striking difference in the 

 heart. In the whale, the heart circulates the blood from 

 birth to death at a fairly even speed. In Equipoise, the 

 thoroughbred race horse, the heart had the task of cir- 

 culating the blood as a crisis need to prevent an oxygen 

 deficit during the pinnacle of expenditure of energy in the 

 race. The heart also had the task of establishing a high 

 negative electric potential to balance the exceedingly high 

 positive potential of the brain. Thus the brain and the heart 

 together form the pinnacle of driving power of the muscles 

 in winning the race. 



The weight of the heart of the white whale was 3,175 

 grams, and the weight of the heart of Equipoise was 4,455 

 grams. Thus, in the energy formulas of these two exalted 

 animals upon whom evolution has lavished her gifts for 

 forty and forty-two million years, we see still another 

 corroboration of our thesis as to the mechanism of intelli- 

 gence, power, and personality. 



After two days' sail on the Nascopie from Churchill, we 

 came to anchor at Chesterfield Inlet, at the edge of the 

 Arctic Circle. As we stood on deck, waiting to land, four 

 settlements spread out before us : the gray Mission Hospital, 

 the Hudson's Bay post, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Melling's 

 little white house with the green roof, and the radio station. 

 Long-haired, but jolly-looking Eskimos were unloading. 

 Their short legs and long bodies showed great strength, and 

 old and young seemed capable of carrying heavy burdens. 



Through the kindness of Dr. and Mrs. Melling, there 

 had been collected for us seals, caribou, and even a young 

 walrus. 



The thyroid and adrenal glands of the seals we found to 

 be of the pursuing dog and wolf pattern nearly balanced 

 in weight, and unlike those of the white whale, which have 

 the pattern of man. 



The big "oodjuk," or square flipper seal, known to us as 

 the "bearded" seal, which Dr. Melling had cached for us,
