APE AND MAN.

The following interesting item, relat-
ing to the late lamented Mr.. Crowley,
the Chimpanzee of Central Park, are
given by DR. Spitzka, and may be inter
esting to those of our readers who have
dabbled in the Darwinian theory:
"The brain tipped the scales at 44O
grammes, nearly fifteen ounces. while
that of the largest chimpanzee previ-
ously examined weighed only 3S9
grammes and fraction, the average
weight of the human brain being about
l,i@O grammes; Crowley's weighed
nearly one-thrd that of man. There
are several corresponding features in
the brain of Crowley and that of hu-
man being. 1t would he easy to pass it
OIL as being that of a child. Crowley
was defective in those parts Of the brain
relating to the upright position of man.
This is in harmony with the fact that he
was poor walker on his hind legs.
Crowley was also defective in that part
of the brain where spoken language re-
sides. The Centers controlling the
course of motion of the arms were very
we'll developed; also the area in the brain
connected with the function of vision
You see, the theory" said the doctor,
rs, that the Chimpanzee and human be
ings came from common stock; not that
man developed from an ape, but from a
common stock. The tendency of man
was to progress and the tendency Of the
ape To become specialized rs an inhabitant
of forests

OUR POLITICAL PRIMER,

Notice the absence of torchlight
professions?
Yes?
Never knew the reason?
Why, you poor, "protected-taritf
reformer," we'll let you into the Sc
cret.
Know who are at the head of both
parties who run the business
No?
Why, lawyers.
And how do they interfere with
the tln-cap-kcroscne-can monkey
jacket racket?
Why, if the parties don't spend
their money for kerosene, etc, the
more money there'll be for speakers at
s. or $40, and expenses for speech
on the tariff.
And who make the speeches?
Why, the lawyers
And they gobble all the money
that the boys used to get for
Kerosene, beer, etc?
Of course.
Well, I'll be -

CORNERED THE CONDUCTOR.

In town in the Mohawk Valley lives
a man who may be called, for the time
being, John Smith, Smith stands about
six feet two in his thinnest stockings.
In the good old days. when ticket from
else-was good only for continuous
trip on day and date Smith and his
wife one day left the wicked western
city for the metropolis,
At Lockport they stopped over night,
and the next day started on again with
two young ladies, acquaintance, who
purchased tickets for Palatine Bridge.
When the conductor came along to
punch the tickets, he pronounced the
Chicago tickets worthless stamped
and partly used the day before. Smith
must pay his fare, he said. John expos
tulated, but in vain; he must pay two
fares or leave the train. The conductor
agreed to take up the rest of his train
load and come back, while Smith
thought it over.
When he returned Smith still looked
dubious. He held up the four tickets -
two to New York and two to Palatine-
in his hand, and said, slowly:
Nov, you say these two to Palatine
are good y
YES"
"And these two, from Chicago to New
York, are not good
mot worth the paper they're printed
on; no, sill"
Then the conductor began to grow
impatient, and continued, sharply;
well, sir, you must hurry up. Pay
your fares, or I'll put you off"
Smith held up the tickets again and
said, with exasperating deliberation:
"Well, here are four tickets and four
people, Who are you going to put OFF,"
The conductor looked at Smith u
moment, bit his lip, punched the four
tickets, and left the car. Albany Jo1rnal

Of whom live in Chicago and others In Philadelphia
W. W. Gibbs, Of Philadelphia, the Gas Trust magnate,

plan lie said: "The design Is to transmit the gas
from wherever 1t is found to Chicago by pipo

perhaps hundreds Of them, near or remote
from Chicago, Just where We can find them.
We have been prospecting for several months and
We havo located some wells close to the city. We
arc prepared to go hundred miles Il necessary
into Indiana whero know gas fields eAlst Inc
chief obstacle in the transmission of gas heretofore
has been large piping that would resist hish pro%i, %

only ones that have been In use, Ihey a,e ScIy
