A Museum Lecturer Gives an Idea Of What
He Could Do IL He wanted To.
"Is there much activity in the manu-
facture of human curiosities?" asked a
reporter of Bowery museum employee.
.'Let me tell you. Human nature is
as irregular as the laws governing the
universe, and why should there not be
human monstrosities, as well phenome-
ma in the physical worldp" argued the
front door lecturer.
"Step in," said the Snowman to the
reporter, land see the man who looks
like monkey. Without reference to
the Darwinian theory, we see every day
men who resemble some kind of an ami
NAL. You see foxy-looking man on
Wall Street, bovine-looking face on
New Street, or bearish face somewhere
else. Again, you will see fat, chubby
face, with bristle-like whiskers, which
reminds you of hog. Go up Fifth av-
enue and look on the coach boxes.
don't say that all of those coachmen
look like monkeys, but, with the appli-
ances of art known only to the museum
banners, few touches here and there,
with the application of animals hair on
the face, could make a great and only
living curiosity out of some Of those fell
lows. don't say curiosities are made
that way, but it can be done.
you know how the three-horned COW
was faxed ups don't you? Well, I'd
thought smart professor like you would
have caught on to that Let me tell you
a secret, and l don't often give away
professional secrets. There was, some
time ago, a wonderful monstrosity at
one of the museums who had been in
the Tombs six months. He came from
Chicago, where he got into trouble for
trying to beat an insurance company.
He insured his life and then got himself
run over on q railroad. He first ran
against freight-train and hurt himself,
then sued the company for $4,000. He
next sold postage-stamps that had been
used and got jagged for it, and next he
imposed upon the general public by ex-
hibiting himself as a curiosity. No,
professor; there amt no manufactured
curiosities in the museums now, but
there used to be lots of 'em," concluded
tho lecturer, with awink at the reporter.
