mist it is a revelation. Take, for exam
pie, the tootsies of child of ten months

has power of grasping to some extent
and is used instinctively like hand. The
great toe has certain independent work
ing, like thumb, and the wrinkles of the
sole resemble those of the palm. These
markings almost entirely disappear after
the pedal extremity has come to be en-
ployed for purposes of support and loco
motion.
"The hands and feet of human being
are strikingly like those of the chimpan-
zee in conformation, while the gorilla's
resemblance to man in these respects is
even more remarkable. The higher apes
have been classified as 'quadrumana,' or
-four handed, because their hind feet are
hand shaped; but this designation is very
improperly applied, because the apes pos
terror extremities are not really hands at
all. They merely look like hands at the
first glance, whereas in fact they are but
feet adapted for climbing The big toes
cannot be opposed to the other toes as
thumbs are to the fingers, but simply act
pincerwise for the purpose of grasping.
Nov, funnily enough, the Infants feet
have this same power of grasping pincer
fashion, and the action is performed in
precisely the same way. Advocates of eyo-
lutionary theories take this to signify that
the human foot was originally utilized for
climbing trees also before the species was
30 highly developed as it is now. Also they
assert that the fact that the art of walking
erect is learned by the child with such diff

why Does the Sun Continue to Burni


Thousands of curious and ingenious the
ories have been brought forth to account
for the fact that the sun, although he has
whirled his burning disk across the heav-
ems for untold ages, continues to burn
without being consumed or his bulk being
lessened in the least. Some learned men
affect to believe that the great orb Is a
monstrous ball of gas, but even a great
ball of gas would be consumed in its ut
most atom in the course of a few thou
sand years. Others pretend to believe that
its fires are kept up by the remains of
wrecked worlds which are constantly fall
ing into its depths, but even this seems far
from probable, not to say purely absurd
conclusion.
In giving his opinion on the last conten-
tion, one of the most eminent astronomers
of the day has figured that a mountain
range consisting of 176 cubic miles falling
into the sun would only be sufficient to
maintain the present heat for single Sec
ond; a mass equal to that of our earth
would engender only enough of heat to
last ninety-three years.-New York Tele-

long ago to the famous Aaron Burr, When Mir. Burr went to the New Yorl, legislature in 179S he did so with pur- pose. At that time there was great opposition to banks, but he and some of his friends were desirous of starting one, and they obtained the necessary author ity through indirection, A bill intro duced by MT. Burr authorized the chartering of company to furnish New York city with pure and wholesome water, said company being empowered to employ its surplus in any lawful way
 The bill passed, the company was or ganizeI, and the big Centre street tank was built above huge we'll which still exists. Having done this much in the water supply line, Burr and his com panions proceeded to employ the sur plus in organizing the Bank of the Man. haitian Company, which today is one of the powerful financial institutions of Wall street, and whose legal existence depends upon the furnishing of water from the old tank to any citizen who may demand a supply.
 Of later date, but of nearly equal in terest, is a landmark situated on Twenty third street, just west of avenue A. It is an archway of stone, huge and old fashioned, and fanked by walls of brick

THE HOUSE OF REFUGE HIGHWAY.
 It is the last remnant of the House of Refuge, which was abandoned and torn down during war times after the erec- ton of the new House of Refuge on Ran dalls island. It is daily the object of inquiry, many passers by supposing it to be the relic of an old fort. So, indeed, in a sense it is, but it was fort built, not to defend the city against invaders, but against criminals. Its purpose was not to keep soldiers out, but to keep thieves in.
 If our seeker after the quaint and for gotten desires to explore still further hs may take trip to the attic of the city hall. There the janitor can show him a huge painting typical of the triumph of liberty, which has for it's central figures portraits of Washington and Franklin. On the wall hangs an address from the load mayor of Dublin thanking the rirht worshipful mayor of New York for and to Ireland during the famine days of 47. There is also beautiful marble bust of woman la- beled "Republiqne Francaise.' No one knows whence it came, but upon it's head some irreverent servitor of for mer days placed the helmet of volun- teer fireman, and tLsre the two still remain in incongruuus union. Near the bust may be seen number of gilded coats of arms. These belong to a more modern period, for they were made dur ing .ne Tweed regime 70 adorn the door ways of the city armc-ies. They cost from 5000 to sl0,O00 each, and have nev,r hc-n used.
 The above, of course, are but few of the strange sights which may reward the industry of a strdent of the history O. metropolis, and, as before suggested, s'mi'ar .. iaiat discoveries may Do made m any larg, city of the U Ulite,. States.

 phosphates, Bone Meal. Etc.

LNoR SOME TIME GREAT WANT HAS IT been felt by the orange grower of southern California for a fertilizer adapted 10 this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "oranRe Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted 10 this tree. consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees, from time Of setting out to full maturity. Gophes will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree--either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates, according to Prof. Hilgard will be found much better adapred to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance m the cultiva- tion of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating The quantity used on old trees a, cordlng to the age oi the tree-tree years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. IL the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, a greater quan- tty may be used to good advantage The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating.

gets in touch with the noise and hustle of the streets: he admires the enormous buildings, wonders at the enterprise of the merchants, revels in the beauties of the parks and watches from the sea wall the birds of commerce stretch their white wings in flight to distant lands. All these various items go to make up the ap- parent aggregate of activity in any one of a dozen human beehives which dot the lake and sea coasts of the United States. The same conditions exist at Chicago and San Francisco, at Galveston and at Charleston, at Boston and New York.
 But beneath this wild uproar of the human tide there flows an undercurrent of romance. San Francisco is rich in memories of the Argonauts of 49; the heroism of the garrison at Fort Dearborn is the heritage of Chicago; Galveston was the island home and last refuge of the pirate-patriot La6tte; Char leston teens with memories of the Revo- lutiOnary Swamp Fox" and Boston has Bunker Hill and Faneuil hall AS for New York, it affords many quaint and interesting sights to one who cares to see them.

Why not Grow OuIDine?

There are several species from which quinine is obtained, ,one of the most val uable drugs known to materia medica is manufactured. They would undoubt- edly thrive on portions of this coast. The British government has established large plantations of these trees in India that are now paying large revenue, and have greatly reduced the drug in price.
