The PrehensiIe Or~ans

The possession of an effective prehensile
organ-a hand or its equivalent-seems to
be the first great requisite for the revolu-
ton of a high orderSof intellect. Man and
the monkeys, for example, have a pair of
hands, and in their case one can see at q
glance how dependent is their intelligence
upon these grasping organs. All human
arts base themselves ultimately upon the
human hand, and even the apes approach
nearest to humanity in virtue of their ever
active and busy little fingers. The ele-
plant, again, has his flexible trunk, which.
as we have all heard over and over again,
usque ad nauseam, is equally well adapted
topick up pin or to break the great boughs
of tropical forest trees. (That pin, in par
ticular, is now well worn classic.)
The squirrel, once more, celebrated for
his unusual intelligence when judged by a
rodent standard, uses his pretty little paws
as veritable hands, by which he can grasp
n nut or fruit all around, and so gain in his
small mind a clear conception of its true
shape and properties. Throughout the
animal kingdom generally, indeed, this
correspondence, or rather this chain Of
causation, makes itself everywhere felt;
no high intelligence without highly d.

A new view of the aerOnaut's skill is that
given in "a Winter Cruise in Summer
Seas" An Irish balioonist once said to the
author of the book: Eve speak Of the
number of a mans ascents as if that gave
the measure of his skill 1t would be
more to the point, think, to speak of his
descents, for those are the real tests"
u thought one involved the other" was
the reply.
Then, sir, you thought wrong The
balloon makes the ascent for you, but You
must arrange the descent, and make it for
yourself If you leave it TO the balloon all
the happy chances in life may not save
you"
But what can happen' At least, you

only one descent. When he was four miles

window, from the balcony of which it sped
headlong on to the pavement eighty feet
below, where of course it lay dead. /
found the household in an uproar of JOY
that evening over this event. They had
bought lottery ticket for franc, invest
ing upon 4 ''terno," or issue OF three speci-

If the three numbers were drawn they
would win 600, and they had very lively
hopes until Saturday came and defeated
them. As for the three numbers, they
found them in the numerical equivalent of

the shouts of the courtiers, and snatching
up the valiant knight he thrust him into
