Monkeys.

Monkeys, with some notable excep-
tions, are some degrees worse than
savage men in their treatment of the
sick. On the new Jumna Canal, at
Delhi, monkeys swarm i'll trees upon
the banks, and treat their sick com
rades i'll true monkey fashion.
The colony by the canal being over
crowded, and as consequence un-
healthy, did, and probably does still,
suffer from various unpleasant diseases.
When one monkey is so obviously un-
we'll rs to so offend the feelings of the
others, a few of the larger monkeys
watch it, and taking favorable op-
portunity, knock it into the canal. If
it is not drowned at once, the sick
monkey is pitched in again after it re-
gains the trees, and either drowned or
forced to keep aloof from the flock.
AT the London Geological Gardens
the monkeys torment sick one with
out mercy, and unless it is at once re-
moved from the cage il has little chance
of recovery. The small monkeys bite
and pinch 1t the larger ones swing it
around by the tail When it dies, as
many moneys as can iind room sit on
its body. New York Dispatch.

How Old Is the Human Race !

The fullest answer that science can
yet give to the three most interesting
questions perhaps ever asked in the
world are explained in an article in the
Forum, by DR.. Daniel G. Brinton, the
ethnologist. These questions are
.'When did the first man appear"
''By what process did he appear" and
"Where did he appear?" Summing
up all that geologists and anthropolo-
gists know he appeared certainly 80
600 years ago, and 1t may be as many
rs 200, 600 years ago. The evidences OF
his existence which date back so, 900
years are unmistakable. By what pro-
cess he came into being science has no
definite answer. If it refuse to accept
the doctrine of specific creation, it
must refuse also, for lack of complete
evidence, to accept the doctrine of
gradual evolution-the old Darwinian
doctrine. Dr. Brinton thinks the
theory of evolution by leap is as
good rs any other theory. According
to this, man sprung from some high
order of mammal, the great tree ape,
perhaps, by freak, just as men of
genius are freaks, and as all the vege-
table and animal kingdom show freaks.
AS to where man first appeared it is
beyond doubt that his earliest home
was in southern Europe, or Asia, or
North Africa. No earlier traces OF
him have been found than those found
in the area that is now England,
France and Spain.

Natural CuriOsities.

Curious resemblance IN Nature
start with the cocoanps, in many re-
spects like the human skull and almost
facsimile of the monkeys. The
meat of the English walnut is almost
copy of the human brain; plums and
black cherries like the human eye,
almonds like the human nose, aud an
unopened oyster aud shell n perfect
likeness of the human ear. The shape
of n mans body may be traced in the
mammoth squash, the open hand in
growing scrub willows and celery, the
human heart in German turnips and
egg plant, and dozens of the mechan-
zeal inventions of the present day IT,
patterns furnished by Nature. Thus,
the hog suggested the plow, the but
terily the door hinge, the frog stool
the umbrella, the duck the ship, and
the fungus growth on trees the
bracket.

A manufacturing company in Will
mingtop, Del.r stopped its whistle
thirteen years ago because it was COM
planned of as nuisance, and at the
same time informed its workmen that
any man who was late would be fined
twenty-five cents In all the years
since thec only two men have been
fined for tardiness, and the question
is asked by the Chicago Herald: What
need is there for a noisy whistle to
call employees to work anywhere?

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The proposed Hoboken IN. J.)
Bridge will have single span of $3.50
feet-the longest in the world.
The greatest depth recorded of
Lake Michigan is $40 feet, or about
one-sixth of n mile. The mean depth
is about 1926 feet, or one-sixteenth of
mile.
The flea is covered with armored
plates very hard and overlapping each
other. Each is set with spikes, and
bends in conformity with the move
ments of the body.
The largest engine is at Friedens-
vile, Penn. its driving wheels are
thirtyfive feet in diameter, the cyl
inder is ITO inches, and it raises H.
500 gallons of water per minute.
A new process of rain making was
recently brought before the Academic
des Sciences, Paris, by NJ. Baudoin.
His theory is that electricity main
tains the water in clouds in state of
small drops, and that if the electricity
be discharged the water will come
down.
An instrument has been invented
for sounding the depths of the sea
without using lead line. A sinker
is dropped containing cartridge,
which explodes on touching the bot
tom; the report is registered in a
microphone apparatus and the depth
reckoned by the time at which the ex-
plosion occurred.
The air brakes on railroads are being
built with view to their use on trains
of 100 cars. The plant on each train
is being built so that it can be used in
such way as to bring the speed down
from eighty to thirty miles per hour
within five seconds. Great power has
to be used, and every part of the
apparatus has to be perfect to stand
the strain.
DIR. Hughes, of Meriden, has re-
ceived letter from r. w. Sawyer, of
Nassau, New Providence, one of the
Bahama Islands, telling of the finding
of pink pearl in conch she'll there
that is the finest ever brought to
light. This pearl is nearly as large as
pigeons egg and of the same shape,
feet color and marking. 1t was sold
to the local agent of Paris house for
over $4,000, the largest price, it is
believed, received for pearl at the
Nassau conch fisheries.
AT the recent meeting ofthe chemical
section of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science the arti-
fetal diamonds that have been made
by Nj. Moissans, of Paris, were cx-
hibited and awakened much interest
These, as yet, are of hardly sufficient
size to be marketable, but there ar
pears to be no longer doubt that this
and the cost are but questions of
technical detail, and that another de-
cade at most will suffice to reduce
diamonds to the vulgar level of the
amethyst or the Rhine stone.

The recent use of the guillotine in
Paris has started anew the discussion
as to relative merits of methods of
rendering the murder innocuous. 1t
must be admitted, argues the San
Francisco Examiner, that man once
beheaded is fully as incapable of act
ing on criminal impulse as though he
had been hanged, and that an electro
cuted person is at an equal advantage.
Therefore all the methods have points
of excellence.

cred it an awful problem how to dis

turned her copying by n messenger.
But the disease caught on, SO to speak,
