The analogies of the creation teach -,

this fact be taken in hand at once and
some portion of the animal creation he
utilized. Now. we. have all of us necks
some of us graceful necks some of me-
apoplectic necks. and some of ms no necEs
at all to speak of. Again, the giraffe bas
very long neck. the elephant very Short
short of one altogether. But in each ne
find seven cervical vertabrae-and seven
only. Again, they, and human beings
also, all have the same number and varie.
ty of muscles and hgaments. Some Of
them certainly are simply mere represen-
tatiYes; for instance, the powerful llga-
mentum nuchae of the horse is but feebv
represented In man. Padding" accounts
for all the rest-a little more or less OF fat
and cellular tissue. Our limbs form beau
tiful subjects for comparison, Through
out the vertebraes they never exceed
four in NUMBER They are all modifca-
tons of one type, whether we take the
fms of fish, the wings and legs of birds
fore and hind legs of quadrupeds, or arms
and legs of man. Comparing the leg Of
a bird with the leg of a man. we see that
the complete leg of a bird shows the thigh
bone, then the tibia or lower leg bone. and
then in the place of the tarsus and meta
tarsus a single bone with, at its lower ex-
tremity, a small bone supporting the four
toes. Primarily the analogy between the
last five bones of the bird and the so-called
tarsus metatarsus and toes of man does
not seem very complete, but If the chick
in the egg be examined it's legs will be
found to consist of the thigh bone Of the
metatarsal bones, and the toes or pha-
langes. The upper tarsal, bone subse-
quently becomes anchykosed with the
tbia and the lower one with the CONSOLE
dated metatarsus. Now the analogy be-
comes much more complete. The horse
has but single metatarsal bone, Ghe
third, but with rudiments of the second
and fourth. These rudimentary metatar-
sal bones of the horse are very interest
ing By means of them II is comparative
ly easy tc trace out his descent The
whale possesses the rudiments of hind
legs, and the boa constructor possesses
also the rudiments of a leg and pelyis'
and the rudiments of the wings are dis
coverable in the apteryx. The third eye
lid of the bird exists also in some amph-
bians and reptiles and sharks also in
man as a rudiTnentary structure. The
manner in which COWS, deer, and sheep
tear up the grass when they are feeding
plucking away at the tufts, is familiar
to any observant man. The incisors OF
the upper teeth are wanting. The inter-
esting analogy is the fact that the teeth
are really there, but they are pncut-that
is to say, they have never pierced the
gum.
