The hands, the fingers, and above all
the thumbs belonging to Chico at
tracted my particular attention. Now
you must know that il is because man
has thumb. and for the reason that his
thumb is so beautifully jointed. supple
and adjustable. that he has been able
to overcome all difficulties. says a
writer in Harpers. The other fingers
! are all very well in their way. but it is
Z, the thumb that controls the real move
ment of the hand. Without a thumb
you never could WELD heavy sledge-
hammer or the most delicate of watch
makers tools. 1t is not out of the way
to say that man is the master. holding
every other living thing under his
thumb"
Here is little bit of natural history
which must be remembered about
monkeys. All the monkeys of the old
world have some kind of a thumb. As
St George Mivart. a great zoologist.
writes: ANY oldworld monkey with
a rudimentary thumb that is. thumb
even if imperfectl is superior in that
respect to an American monkey" In
fact. the American monkey has no
thumb at all. Nature compensates in
measure in our new-wOrld monkey
by giving him a wonderful tail. This
American monkey tail is prehensile.
1t answers almost the purpose of fifth
limb. A South American monkey gives
his tail hitch around the limb of a
tree, and there he hangs quite COM
fortably, Independent of hands or feet.
Chico's thumbs are superb. being full
ly four and one-quarter inches long.
The ordinary length OF the human
thumb is about two and one-half
inches. Ch;co's middle finger is trifle
over five inches long. Mans is three
and one-half inches. The ourang-
outang's hand was narrow. apparently.
but it seemed about the width of that

proportion was lost, owing to the ex-
IRENE length of the fingers. The
knuckles were small and perfectly in
line. The stretch of such a hand as
Chico's would be enormous, fully
thirteen inches. The octave on the
piano measures seven inches. If Chico
were 4 pianist he could with little eff
fort cover two octaves and would leave

INCREDIBLE FOLLY.

The Country L. Being Robbed ThfouGh
laundering Tariff TmkereTs.
The sugar schedule prepared by the
democratic senators as q favor to the
sugar trust has provoked no end Of
comment, but popular interest has
been centered upon the effect which
the new duties would have upon the
price of sugar to the American con-
sumer. This is an important matter,
but not less important is the effect
which the imposition Of these rates
viii have upon our foreign trade. This
point may be more thoroughly VEN
tilated when the president responds to
the resolution introduced by Senator
Hoar, calling for information regard
ing the objections to the sugar sched-
ule which have been filed by foreign
countries.
Already it is known that Germany
and Spain are prepared to retaliate
for any discrimination against them.
\ bill is now before the Spanish cortes
imposing a duty of twenty-four per
cent. upon the manufactured goods
and agricultural! products imported
free into Cuba from the United States
under the reciprocity agreement.
Since the treaty was made our trade
.has increased from S12 .669. 500 to $685.
G04,G94. That is, reciprocity has near
" doubled our dealings with Cuba, and
OF this great advantage we will be de-
prived if the senate sugar schedule
goes through.
1t is said that the German ambassador
to the United States has fled formal
notification that the enforcement Of
the discriminating duty of one-tenth
of cent a pound on German sugar
will be followed by retaliatory meas
ures practically excluding American
agricultural products This would de-
prive US of a trade worth many mil
lions, simply to carry out the demo-
cratic bargain with the sugar trust
That Germany is slow to believe us
capable of such folly is shown by a re-
cent statement in the National Zeit-
ung. 1t says:
1T may be taken for granted that Germany
will not submit to any infringement. either
open or masked, Of the most favored nation
clause. Americas imports into Germany are
so important that she will not desire tariff
war with U.S.
1t is apparent from these facts that
the democratic error is not to be
measured by the increased cost to the
American consumer of Sugar. The
democratic cry has been that the mar
kets of the world must be opened to
our products. Reciprocity accom-
plishes just that. but democratic tariff
tinkering is robbing US of the benefits
gained through sxillful diplomacy and
wise judgment--Troy Times
