Man.

Bearing in mind that, as far as gen
eral configuratiOn goes, the ground plans
of the present continent have been about
the same, only an occasional bit of land
having been topped off, as in England,
the question arises, Is man an animal
of the old world or of the new? If we
descend from some anthropoidal ape,
then that Asiatic or African monkey
must have had fair hand, and above
all else, working thumb. Balloons run
on all tours, but the gibbons, who are
arboreal and live on fruits, have nicely
developed thumb and can pick nut
and shell it neatly. An American mon
key has not these exact capabilities He
does not depend on his hands to cling
to branch. He uses fifth limb, which
is his prehensile tail The true gibbon
is not, however, utterly a nut or fruit
eater. If confined to that diet alone, a
strictly vegetarian one, he pines. He
likes eggs and devours small insects.
Vary his diet in menagerie, making
him slightly omnivorous, and his con-
ditiOn improves. If not then, for these
arbOreal ancestors, who had hands, we
might never have been. We may then
trace our origin from the old rather than
from the new one, but we really know
but little about the particulars. New

PhOsphOrescent Light.

Some experiments have been made in
France to determine the specific action
of considerable lowering of tempera-
ture upon the brilliancy of certain
bodies which shine in the dark after
having been exposed to sunlight. Tubes
of glass filled with the powdered sui
phides of calcium, barium, strontium,
etc., all substances possessing the prop
erty Of phosphorescencei in high degree
were exposed to the solar rays and after
ward proved to be luminous in the dark,
this being done in such way as to fix
upon the memory the mean value Of the
progressive diminution of the emitted
light, and the time also was noted dur
ing which the light was strong, less
strong and weak respectively. The tubes
were next placed in bright sunlight for
one minute and then suddenly intro
duced into double walled glass cylin-
der, the interspace of which was filled
with nitrous oxide at 40 degrees @. In
about five or six minutes the tempera-
ture Of the tubes was some 100 degrees
They were then withdrawn, and when
observed in a perfectly dark chamber no
luminosity whatever was perceptible
AS the tubes recovered their normal tenn
perature, however, the phosphorescence
returned without the exciting agency
of the suns rays or of diffused light
These results were proved to be general
for all phosphorescent substances en-
ployed. The experiments showed, too
that the production of the phosphores-
cent light requires certain movement
of the constituent molecules of bodies.

'Oh, live alone, quite alone, now

II think that when he-whoever 'he'

have made them altogether gods or al
together animals. No one in the world
is happy, because no one is ever certain
whether he-or she-should live for the
real or for the ideal. And therefore
men decided to seek for both, to be
sometimes good and sometimes bad, to
play at being gods once a week and
beasts twice week-in fact, to live for
the real 615 days out of the Z. And
some of us, you know, cannot, as the say
ing goes, do things by halves. We
must be wholly one thing or the other,
There is only the good or bad. There
is no mediocre for some of us. So we
leave the choice to fate, and when fate
has chosen for us the world rises and
either crowns us with the laurel wreath
or paints us with colors from the DEVILS
palate. The world is so blind it cannot
see that really we had no choice in the
matter [ think sometimes fate makes

BARoNETs IN Low STATION.

One an Irish Policeman and Another
a Stage Supernumerary.
It has been discovered that among
the men Of the Royal Irish Constabu-
larry there is o baronet. A writer in
the World OF this week gives his name.
It is Sir Thomas Echlin, the seventh
barOnet of the name. Even he, how.
ever, low as his fortunes seem to have
fallen, Is better off than his uncle, Sir
Frederick Echlin, the fifth baronet; or
his father, the sixth baronet. The
former was a pauper in receipt of pa
rochial relief at Edenkerry, in kildare,
until he was granted a email pension
from the Greatham Hospital at Stock
ton-on-Tees while the latter was q su-
perannuated peasant, living at Kilmea-
que, in the same county, who was sup
ported by contributions from his three
sons, the present baronet and his two
brothers, the elder a private in the Life
Guards and the younger formerly a
footman and now a stationmaster.
The Echlins number a prelate and a
Judge OF more than ordinary eminence
among their direct ancestors, and their
baronetcy dates from the reign Of
George I. Another baronet, 1t is said,

Nurses Instead Of Missionaries.

Nurses Instead Of Missionaries.
Miss Collins, a Maine girl who has
been out among the Dakotas as a
miss onary, says the way to civilize
the Indians is by nurses rather than
by preachers and teachers. Instruc-
lions IN the care OF the sick, the nat
ure OF disease and the proper use of
medicine releases them from the
influence of the "medicine man." It is
these who, working on the supersti.
tlous minds of the Indians, are the
greatest obstacles to their civilization.
The Indians have been peculiarly sus-
certible to epidemic diseases, which
have created greater ravages than
war and priyatjon combind. Miss
Collins instances an epidemic of meas.
les In which cleanliness and ursina
saved every life bnt that of a child
whose grandmother was a medicine
woman. When the influence of tho
medicine man is gone as a healer
