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 in trees upon
the banks, and treat their sick com
rades in 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 as to so offend the feelings of the
others, 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 it has little chance
of recovery. The small monkeys bite
and pinch it the larger ones swing it
around by the tail. When it dies, as
many moneys as can find 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 DIR. 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 50,-
900 years ago, and it may be as many
rs 200, 600 years ago. The evidences of
his existence which date back 80, 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. DIR. Brinton thinks the
theory of Evolution by n leap" is as
good as any other theory. According
to this, man sprung from some high
order of mammal, the great tree ape,
perhaps, by a 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 CurlOsities.

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

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The proposed Hoboken IN. J.l
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 mile. The mean depth
is about 325 feet, or one-sixteenth Of
a 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
thirty-hve feet in diameter, the cyl
inder is 10 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
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 II. w. Sawyer, OF
Nassau, New Providence, one of the
Bahama Islands, telling of the finding
of pink pearl in a conch shell there
that is the finest ever brought to
light. This pearl is nearly as large as
a pigeons egg and of the same shape,
having no flaw or blemish, and of per-
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 fthe chemical
section of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science the arti-
fetal diamonds that have been made
by M. Moissans, of Paris, were ex-
hibited and awakened much interest.
These, as yet, are of hardly sufficient
size to be marketable, but there ap
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 casting is coated with a film of
enamel, which is so thin that even the
finest details on the metal are pre-
served. This enamel is said to he alb
solutely proof against rust, and pre-
serves its qualities at any temperature
up to bright red heat. All colors are
obtainable, including gold and silver,

trophies, fortunately of the minor
sort, have directed public attention to
the fact, remarks the Washington
Star, that the use of stoves for heating
purposes and oil as an illuminant is
still indulged in by ancient and moss
backed corporations, to which the
safety of the passengers is apparently
minor consideration. Public senti-
ment should be strong enough to work
the/hecessary reform, but the trouble
about public sentiment is its failure
to declare itself until some frightful
combination of collision or derailment
and conhagration arouses general in
dignation. The Pullman and Wagner
companies worried over even the
small quantity of oil used for cooking
purposes on the buffet cars-haVe
completely banished the dangerous
fluid, and will in future do their cook
ing with gas, thus removing every
element of danger that can possibly
be gotten rid of. The public should
insist strenuously upon the universal
adoption of every safeguard, and the
time to insist is in advance OF and not
siter great railroad horror

The recent use of the guillotine in
Paris has started anew the discussion
rs to relative merits of methods of
rendering the murder innocuous. 1t
must be admitted, argues the San
Francisco Examiner, that n 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.

HORSEPOWER of a Whale.

An interesting study of the horse
power of the whale has been made by
the eminent anatomist, Sir William
Turner, of the University of Edin-
burgh, Scotland, in conjunction with
John Henderson, the equally eminent
Glasgow shipbuilder. The size and
dimensions of great whale stranded
several years ago on the shore at
Longriddy furnished the necessary data
for computation of the power neces-
sary to propel it at the rate of twelve
niles an hour. The whale measured
eighty feet in length, twenty feet
across the hanges of the tail, ald
weighed seventy-four tons, 1t was
calculated that las horsepower was
necessary TO attain the speed men
toned.

English Law to Accide ats.

The term accident would appear
TO be easily defined, but the late Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn thought not,
and ON several occasions insurance
companies have sought definition in
the courts of law. 1t has been decid,
ed that sunstroke is not nn accident,
but that injury to the spine by lifting
"A heavy weight is one. Even if physi-
cal ailments contribute to an accident
it is covered by the policy, The rela-

than a month he died of pneumonia.
The connection between that complaint
and a dislocated shoulder is not at

the disease which killed him, the rela-
tiyes were held to entitled to claim.

There have been great changes in
the United States Government depart

first woman regularly employed was
put on the rolls of the Navy Depart
ment thirty-five years ago. She was
young widow, and the officials consid-
cred it an awful problem how to dis
pose of her, Finally they hit upon n
plan. They treated her as if she was
contagious disease and isolated her in
an attic room. She received and re-
turned her copying by a messenger.
But the disease caught on, so to speak,
and to-day there are 1000 women in
the Treasury alone. There is one
woman to every seven men.

THE vETOES.

The vetoes of Mayor Tiepke which
were sent TO the Common Council last
evening, aside from the one relative tc
printing, were not founded on good
Judgment,
The disapproval of the ordinance
making an appropriation of $4,000 foi
the highway account of the city is not
TO be and cannot be commended upon
any theory. The fact that it opens six
new accounts in the City Treasurer
Office is not sufficient reason for veto
message.
Then again, there are large num-
Der of men who have been at work for
weeks and have been unable to get n
cent OF their wages because this ordi-
nance has been "hung up" by the
Mayor for the past four weeks
The veto on the printing ordinance
may be iustifable but there was no
reason why he should have gone out of
his way to assail the Committee on
Printing.
There is no valid reason whatever for
the veto regarding the top sewer in
Newell and Warren avenues. The
abutting owners have n right to it, and
upon the guarantee Of n committee of
which the Mayor was one of the mum
Der, certain men who petitioned for
relief were agreed with on the basis
that such action would bc taken.
