The Strong Jaw in Some Men.

Among all old world apes the teeth
re the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats
for mates or tribal supremacy. The
CANNES are in most cases enormously
developed, insomuch that ill-informed
naturalistS have suggested hat a near
relationship must exist between the
primates and the carnivora. AS a mat
ter of fact these formidable teeth have
nothing to do with alimentation but
are purely weapons of war as are the
bayonet and the Maxim gun. In prac-
IDEALLY every emergency demanding
unusual energy, obstinacy and courage
they come into play. In every con-
nict with the world, the flesh and the
devil-as such things are understood in
plthecoid society-the temporal and
masseter muscles are the chief arbiters
of war. To become a great and power
tul %anthropoid it is absolutely and
brutally necessary to have a large and
strong jaw to give firm attachment to
the teeth and good leverage to the
muscles. That for all immense epoch
our pre- = human ancestors achieved
success in life IN like manner is as
clear as the print of "Maga" to those
who have learned to read natures
handwriting. Since those days of true
Arcadian simplicity our life has be-
come b%ewilderingly complex and our
methods for settling social difficulties
have changed generally for the better.
But here, as in so many other in
stances, the habits of a past age have
left an idelible impress on the nervous

How Eskimos Tran Wolves

Field and Stream tells of a curious
way by which Eskimos catch wolves.
They plant n stake in the ice, with a
sharp piece of flint on the end, which
is wrapped with seal OIL other hlub-
Der. Along the wolves and go
to licking the frozen blubber. After
awhile they get down to the flint and
cut their tongues on it. Being raven
Ously hungry when they taste the
warm blood they fall to md chew the
life out of one another. The familiar
trick of putting a bent piece of sharp
ened whalebone into a ball of blubber
which is released by the heat of the
animals stomach, is much less cffec-
tive than the flint stake, because near
ly whole packs of wolves are killed
by the latter device.

GROWTH OF BRITISH MALAYSIA.
It Has Been Little Less Than Wonder
full

1t Has Been Little Less Than wonder
full.
Among the "unconsidered ~trifles'
which go to make up the vast total of
gu empire there are few of which En-
than the states that border on the
Straits of Malacca, says the Saturday
Review. The colony known as the
Straits settlement consists of two small
islands-SingapOre and Penang-and
three bits of territory on the mainland,
the whole covering some 1,5OO square
miles, with a population of about 600,-
600. comprising almost every national
ity in Asia. Singapore itself-selected
by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1919 as an
emporium for the trade of Malaysia
promptly justified the wisdom of its
founder; as a naval and coaling sta
ton it has been growing in Importance
ever since the Suez canal changed the
course of eastern trade, but it as the
capital Of a considerable dependency
that it is likely to figure more attrac-
lively, perhaps, in public estimation.
For there is behind these so-cal1ed set
Elements a hinterland of great and in
~creasing value. Twenty years ago
this territory was ruled by Malay
chiefs who seem to have been incarna-
lions of %despotism and rapacity. The
thousands of Chinese who were en-
gagged in tin mining there were SUBJ
ject to little control but that of their
own headsmen and INDUCED in faction
lights nearly as bloody as any engage
ment in the late Chino-Japanese war.
Piracy was of daily occurrence. The
people occupied land, but did not own
1t; they worked by command and with
out payment; they were liable to be
deprived of anything that was worth
taking, or to be taxed to meet the
necessities of their ruler or local chief
tain; their wives and daughters were
liable to be requisitioned by members
of the ruling class" and to fall subse-
quently into the condition of slaves.
The murder of a raiyat was a mat
Ter of easy settlement, If 1t caused any
inquiry at all, and a Chinaman met in
q lonely path might be stabbed for the
sake of a few dollars, with the Ger
tainty that no question would be askzd.
The Malays laughed, we are told, at
the idea of British soldiers making
way through their painless forests, but
they were undeceived. The country
was not only penetrated but occupied
by British troops for months and that
feeling of respect established which is
an essential element in dealing with
0rientals. That was in 1876. The
revenue of Perak now exceeds $4,000
900, towards which the railways con-
Sibute $500, 600.
