MAN AND THE GORILLA.

In recent lecture in New York city
Dr. Lemercier made an elaborate and in-
teresting comparison Of the gorilla with
man. Geofrey Il Hilaire had supposed
that etween man aud monkey another
animal might exist, although the gorilla
was not discovered, though vaguely re-
ferred to, however, by the ancients, until
1872. The Rev. Mr.. " alker, an Amer
lean missionary, was the first civilized
person to behold this formidable animal
in his native forests. Though not quite
as tall as the average man, the gorilla is
far more powerful than Heenan, having.
according to Du Chaillu the strength Of
eight able-bodied men. Only two Of
these creatures have been diSsected in
Europe, one by Prof Duvernoy, and the
other by DR.. Auzoux. No live gorilla
has boen brought to Europe or America.
The differences between man and the gor-
lila are very striking. The latter cannot
stand upright, owing to the structure OF
his spinal column; his arms are longer,
and his legs are shorter than those OF the
human species; in walking he commonly
uses the back of his hands, placing them
fiat upon the ground; he has thirteen
pairs of ribs, and the female fourteen;
whereas man has but ten; he has several
muscles which as not found in man; he
has "bagpipes" under his arms, connect
ing with the windpipe and glottis, and by
COMPRISING these with his arms he can
make noise more terrible than the up
roar of thousand ragmeu, and which
can be heard, according to the testimony
Of NJ. Du ChailIu, at distance of three
miles and more. His hand is greatly in
ferior to the human hand, and, besides,
these exists a multitude of minor differ
ences in other organs. But what places
man far above the gorilla is the vast sup
eriority Of the human brain and head.
The gorilla has {. better developed head
than the lion, and when young his cram
ium has great resemblance to that of a
child. But afterward though there is an
immense growth of the bone, there is no
expansion of the cavity of the skull, and
consequently none Of the brain. The
lecturer expressed himself at considerable
length on this point, and in such man
ner as to make it evident that he was no
believer in the hypothesis of Darwin.
All animals have been made to meet
the wants of their material life, and are
wonderfully contrived for those purposes,
The gorilla has been made a savage in
habitant of the forest, and is adapted for
rapidly ascending trees. His chest and
muscles are marvellous, and if the ami
nal had had the wisdom and cunning sof
man, the African race would long since
have been swept from their native soil
In connection with the gcrilla's chest,
Df Lemercier said that the strength of
any animal whatever is according to the
development of the chest, and took occas-
ion to impress once more upon his aud
ience the benefit which resulted to child
rem from strengthening their lungs by
gymnastic exercises.

BARBEROUS OPERATION.

A Chinese shave and shampoo is thus
described by a correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune: The operator took
a razor, and strapping it upon his leg,
began to cut the beard from my face
without having lathered it. Upon my
suggestion that little lather would provo
beneficial, he replied that it was entirely
useless, and had tendency to make the
hair stiff and todgh, and was therefore
never used by persons who had any knowl.
edge of the human face divine, and its ap-
pendages. [, per force, acquiesced in the
opinion expressed, but would rather be
shaved twice with soap than onces with
out. After the beard had been takensotf
and it was done in very short time
the barber took a long, sharp, needle
shaped spoon, and began to pierce my
ears. He explored every avenue, and
brought up, from numerous little crevices;
bits of wax and dirt which had been ac:
cumulating there since my childhood,
for [ never submitted to such an opera
tion before. Having become satisfied
with picking about my ears, the barber
suddenly twisted my neck to one side in
such manner that it cracked, as If the
vertebrae had been dislocated. "Hold
oa p [ shoutedj alarmed for the safety of
my neck" "All right replied the ton
scr, me 10 hurt you, and he continued
to jerk and twist my neck until it was as
timber as an old woman's dish-rag. He
then fell to beating my back, breast, arms,
and sides with his fist, and pummelled
the muscles until they fairly glowed with
the beating they had received. He then
dashed a bucket of cold water over me,
and having dried my skin with towels,
declared that his work was done. l
dressed myself and having paid my two
cents, walked away, feeling like new
man. The sensation Of soreness was gone,
and one Of elasticity remained. [ really
never felt better in my life, and must say
that an hour under the hands of
Chinese barber would be far better than
glass of soda, after a nights debauch."

But an eagle has the power OF altering
the focus of his eye just as he pleases; ne
has only to look at an object at the dis
tance of two feet, or two miles, IN order
to see it with perfect distinctness The
ball of his eye is surrounded by fifteen
little plates. called sclerOtic bones They
form complete ring and their edges
slightly overlap each other.
When he looks at adistant object this lit
tie circle expands, and the ball of the eye
being relieved from the pressure, becomes
fatter; and when he looks at a very near
object the little bones press together,
and the ball of the eye is thus
squeezed into a rounder or more convex
form The effect is very familiar to ev-
erybody. A person with very round eyes
is near-sighted, and only sees clearly an
object that is close to him; and person
with fat eyes, as in old age, can see moth
ing clearly except at distance. The ca
gle, by the mere will can make his eyes
round or fat, and see with equal clear
ness at any distance.

THE EYE OF AN EAGLE.

The eyes of all birds have a peouliari-
ty ofstructure which enables them to see
near and distant objects equally we'll, and
this wonderful power is carried to the
greatest perfection in the bird of prey.
When we recollect that the eagle will as
cend more than mile in perpendicular
height, and from that enormous elevation
will perceive It's prey and pounce upon 1t
with unerring certainty, and when we
see the same birds scrutinizng, with al
most microscopic nicety, an object close
at band, we shall at once perceive that be
possesses the power of accommodating his
sight to distance IN manner to which
our eye is untitled, and Of which it is
totally incapable.
If we take printed page we shall find
that there is some particular distance,
probably ten inches, at which we can read
the words and see each letter with per-
feet distinctness; but if we move the page
to a distance Of forty inches, we shall find
it impossible to read it at all; scientific
m would, therefore, call ten inches the
foo Is or forced distance of our eyes. We
cInnot alter this focus except by the al
Of spectacIeg.

LOVE LIGHTENs LABOR.

And thought with nervous dread
Of the piles ofclothes to be washed, and more
Than a dozen mouths to be fed
There 5 the meals to get for the men in the field,
And the children to fix away
To school, and the milk to be skinned and

And all to be done this day.
1t had rained in the night, and all the wood
Was wet as it could be;
There were puddings and pies to bake, besides
A loaf of cake for tea.

Called the farmer from the well;
And flush crept to his bronzed brow,
And his eyes half bashfully fell;

He smiled, and stopping down,
Kissed her cheek-'"twas this, that you were
the best,
And the dearest wife in townl"
The farmer went back to the field, and the wife,
In smiling and absent way,
Sang snatches of tender little songs,
Shed not sung for many day,
And the pain in her head was gone, and the
clothes
We're white as the foam of the sea;
Her bread was light, and her Butter was sweet
And as golden as it could be.

"Tom Wood has run off to sea
