tSS} types Of monkeys, as he himself
E|NG has seen them in their native

FSLJaA lie first fell in with the curious
Estg-%<-s3 race of dwarfs In Central Africa,
s. ", N whose ancestors supposed
tSaEEk1 to have given occasion for the
IS ancient stories Of the pigmies
BE- .OuuI that they were in the habit of hunting
for food a variety Of ape called by them the
''SOkO," which was accustomed to render the
interminable forests OF that region vociferous
at night with its unearthly bowls. The explorer
picked up a number of the skulls Of these
animals in the pigmy villages and forwarded
them to England, where distinguished anat-
omits pronounced them human.
CannibalIsm is almost universally prevalent
IN the interior of the dark continent and this
fact Is presumably responsible for a mistake on
Stanley's part The skulls he sent were really
those of human beings and not of the SOko.
which has since been satisfactorily identified
with the cEimpanzee. Had the case been other
wise the lOng-sought missing link" would
seemingly have been discovered 1t was a re-
lief to hUmanitarians all over the world. and
more particularly to the missionary societies
which have no equipment for climbing trees.

does after all pursue an arboreal existence,
leaplng from bOugh to bOugh with every
prospect of successfully eiudIng the distribu-
tor Of gratuitOus hymn books and Testament5.
NOT SURPRISING MISTAKE.
The installing Of what was human for CHM
panzee is not SO surprising when one considers
how nearly this anthropoid ape approaches to
man in point OF anatomy. Place the skeleton
of a man alongside that of . chimpanzoe and
you will be astOnlshed at the resemblance. To
all Intents and purposes the chimpanZee SO
viewed Is anatomically speaking, man of in
ferIor bodily and cranial development In
fact, az Mr.. Stanley says, there Is no very
types found IN Africa. Nor is there so very
marked a superiority over the chimpanzeo TO
be found in this lowest human type in respect
to mind. Many tribes of people In Africa are
unable to count beyond five six. Perhaps
the chlmpanZee cannot count many, but the
animal is susceptible of teaching in a very
tonishinG degree.

THE sUy's REVOLUTIONS,

Ahh olS hLNOLCTIONS
The sun revolves above the earth at the
height Of about 2.70O miles in q plane parallel
to the surface of the level earth. Its orbit is
concentric and spiral During six months its
spiral course decreases as it nsars the June
solstice, and increases to its greatest dimen-
sIons during the remaining six months rs it
approaches the December solstics, travelling
with greater rapidity from June to December
as each successive day increases the length Of
the radius vector of its orbit, and at a con-
stantly decreasing rate of speed in its journey
northwsrd from December to June. The in
creased rapldlty OF the suns motion in the
southern portion Of its course causes q much
greater degree Of cold in tue regions south Of
the equator. 1t makes two and half concen-
trio revolutions before resuming its spiral
journey from either solstitial point. Its mean
annual course lies directly above the equator.
At the summer solstice, when it makes its most
northern circuit, its path reaches about 1900
miles north OF the equator, and at the winter
solstice it extends an equal distance south. The
circumference OF the suns orbit at the
June solstice 10 It, 200, and it travels at the rate
OF 56215 miles an hour. Over the equator in
March and September its orbit is 2l,600 miles
and its speed 800 miles an he ur. At the De-
cembsr solstice its orbit is q, 800 miles and its
rate l,2371s miles an hour.
The sun OF course makes its circuits from
east to west in twenty-four hours As ii nsars
our meridian we have daylight and those on
the opposite meridian are left in darkness.
Thsn passing on its &C urse the many thousand
miles OF vapors and clouds in the atmosphere

water. Rivers do not flow down hill on their
way to the sea. Their waters are carried for
ward by the accumulation Of the waters behind,
and when, as is generally the case, their sources
are above the level of the Sea they descend by
sudden falls or rapids until they again reach q
lower, level course. The moon has no more
effect upon the tides than upon the ebb and
flow OF the blood in our veins. How they are
caused may be discovered when We grow
wiser.

HIS VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.

IT seems that for fifteen years this doughty
controvorsialist had been unsuccsssful i'll his
efforts to induce the scientific societies to
listen to an exposition Of his theories or to
print them in their transactions. Therefore
he concluded 10 publish journal Of his own,
i'll which he could say what he pleased without
being beholden to any one.
The first number of The Earth contains a
card 10 Our Readers" III which the editor
makes the modest assertion that never since
journalism was first introduced has there been
single sheet headed with this title or devoted
to the subject we propose to discuss In these
columns; q subject, too. which ought to be as
familiar to every man, woman and child in the
world as the number and names of the days of
the week AS soon as they know their right
hand from their lett children should be taught
the shape of ths earth beneath their feet and
they would know it intutiyely were 1t not for
the fctions and fables forced into their minds
from a set of Blble-hating and intidel astrol-
ogers who lived and wrote in the darkest ages
OF the world"

Hampden proposes We should understand it,

there Is no other chart that can be compared
with it" 10 which statement few persons
will be inclined to take exception. But then
he adds, every other map OF the world is q

RIFLES A CLEAR SKIN.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well, then, here are some rules
for you:
Don't bath in hard water; soften it with
a few drops of ammonia or a little borax.
Don't bath your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water for it.
Don't wash your face when you are trav-
cling, unless it is with a little alcohol and
water, or a little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with cold
water; give your face a hot bath, using
plenty of good soap, then give it a thor
ough rinsing with water that has had the
chill taken off it.
Don't rub your face with a coarse towel.
Remember it is not made of cast iron, and
treat it as you would the finest porcelain
gently and delicately.
Don't use a sponge, or linen rag for your
face: choose instead a flannel one.
Don't believe you can get lid OF wrink-
les by filing in the c~revices with powder.
Instead give your face a Russian bath
every night, that is, TO battle it in hot wa
ter-so hot that you wonder how you can
stand it. and then, a minute after, with
cold water that will make it glow; then
dry it with a soft towel and go to bed, aud
you ought to sleep like a baby While your
skin is ing firmer and coming out of
the wrinkles, and you are resting.

yes, " said Uncle Jack, II think that's
a fair conclusion. It's useless to try to lock
the doors against all newcomers, because
they can't be kept out. On the other hand,
why should you be more ready to adopt eg-
cry new cant sword that is k knocking about
the streets than you would be to make a
oomrade of the low ragamufin who uses, if
he did not invent il? Besides, the constant
use of cheap language tends to cheaper
your ideas. If you don't try to express
yourselves in the most exact and vivid
words, but adopt some ready-made phrase,
you gradually lose both the power and
the desire 10 talk well. ! agree with you.
Kitty, that an occasional slang word of
the better sort, that is, of the sort that
conveys a good idea, does give p~iquancy to
conversation. But you can hardly be too
sparing Of that sort OF eondiment. You
are fifteen years old now, and a hard stu
dent. You don't need to have me tell you,
my dear, that a bright mind doesn't re-
quire slang 10 express is thoughts bright

to me your consent is very much like
mothers veto, after all. How long does
it take slang, on the average, to become
good English?'

Perry, Saturday:
Hello, Doctor How does this wealth

memorandum book and wrote therein the
San mans cognomen and numbered it:

am going to tolerate it up to 500. and then

stWell, / am glad / got inside the limit.
Anything new in the line of summer cog
itatiOns?'
Yes. Did you ever notice that man
who goes about with a hat jammed on the
back of his head and his handkerchief
stuffed inside his collar? Well he, is the
identical man who invites a case of sun
stroke to visit him. The philosophy of the
case is very simple. All of the blood from
the head and brain flows away towards the
heart through six large veins in the front
of the neck and just beneath the skin.
Stnffing the handkerchief inside the col
lar presses upon these veins, dams them
up as it " ere, prevents the blood from es-
Gaping from the brain, and as a result
there soon follows a congestion with yio-
lent headache, nervousness turgid veins,
and Redeemed face, while the perspiration
pours out and aggravates the poor unsus-
pecting victim of his own ignorance.
When you see one of your friends pull a
soaked handkerchief from within his col
lar, hold it up to the breeze n gloat over
it, gently remind him that the practice is
dom. him no good.
This is also the season when the oitl-
zen who ia winter drinks beer to keep
warm now imbibes the same beverage TO
keep cool; probably on the assumption
that it is a poor rule that won't work both
ways. Regarding summer drinks, l do
not think iced drinks are harmful il their
use is begun gradually and the quantity
and frigidity regulated according to the
weather. Cold, fresh buttermilk is the
drink for summsr-no the old stale stuff

For il il hard to work in constant shadow,

And so my prayer was answered just the

Now with new faith l pray,

Gods help is equal to our need;

If we but follow where its teachings lead,
