or suited to its environment and large
| mouth. But it is not, and could never
be, considered we'll provided for getting
its living.
Our estimate of the physical means
and appliances necessary for the sur
vival and well being of animals is pro-
badly set too high. W. Judge the
needs of all from the perfect develop
ment and acquired powers of many,
perhaps of most, which evolution has
provided with appliances in excess of
their real wants. Most animals are
overequipped. Evolution has run riot
and provided them with the means and
metal for in excess of their needs, Just
as it has provided them with an exu-
berance of ornamental which delights
us, but must already have passed be-
yond animal comprehension.
Probably the cats, great and small,
| would at once be named as the best
equipped of all classes of predatory
creatures, and the predatory creatures
are by necessity superior in most forms
ofphysique to those on which they prey
They are all "built" on one plan, with
special armament of teeth, sheaths to
keep their claws sharp, muscles for
springing suddenly to great distances,
capped feet to deaden the sound of their
movements and color adapted for con-
cealment. These acquireda ppliances
are in excess Of their wants.
The polar bear, which cannot
spring and has no sheaths for its claws,
and has little obvious provision to aid
it in swimming, catches and kills ami
mails larger than those killed by the
tiger and can kill them in the water.
The wolverine, or glutton, which is
heavy, slow and has the feet ola ferret,
gets its living as a carnivorous animal
no less we'll than the tiger cats which
have far more specialized equipment
for their work.
There is actual evidence from the fos-
sill homes of tigers that this excess of
equipment once went further and has
been discarded as superfuous. An ex-
tinct species developed canine teeth of
such enormous size that it has been
named the "sader-toothed tiger"
The teeth were too long for its jaws,
and the modern species use shorter wea
pons, just as modern ironclads are pro
vided with lighter guns. The curling
tusks of some of the mammoths and the
palmetted horns of the Irish elk were
also in excess of requirements and are
modified for the use in the existing ell
ephants and reindeer. Many monkeys
possess thumb, but some do not, and
there is no evidence that there are
therefore at disadvantage for their
nonprogressive life.

JUST WHAT'S NEEDED

Exclaim thousands of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at
this season of the year, and who have
noted the success of the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired feel
ing, waning appetite and state of ex-
treme exhaustion after the close con-
finement Of a long winter season, the
busy time attendant upon large and
pressing business during the spring
months and with vacation time yet
some weeks distant. 1t is then that
the building-up powers of Hoods Sar
saparilla are fully appreciated. 1t
seems perfectly adapted to overcome
that prostitution caused by change OF
season, climate or life, and while it
tones and sustains the system, it puri-
fies and vita Lies the blood.

ANNALS TOO RICH.

Certain snakes of medium size carry
the most deadly weapon, whether of
offense or defense, owned by any ami
NAL. In addition they have the per-
feet vertebrate structure which Sir
Richard Owen so much admired, and
can therefore swim, climb and make
their way in places where no other ami
NAL of similar size can 60. They are
the best equipped animals of their kind.
Side by side with these are found
snakes ofsimilar size and equal powers,
except that they lack the invincible
lethel weapon. They only carry blank
cartridges in the battle of life. Evolu-
tion seems arrested for no reason. They
not only fail to grow the poison tooth,
but do not develop the power of crush
ing their prey as the constructors do.
1t would be far easier for a common
grass snake to kill frog by poison be-
fore eating it, as the cobra does, than
to have to swallow it alive. 1t would
save it trouble to crush it, as young
boa nstrictor of the same size would
do, but it does neither, because it neith-
er has developed, nor seems in the least
likely to develop, the necessary equip
ment for so doing.
By the theory of evolution the grass
snake ought therefore to 60 back in the
world, while the other common Eng
lish snake, the poisonous viper, armed
with a weapon, powerful as protect
tion and means Of killing prey, in
creased in size and numbers and took
its place. Yet this is exactly what
has not happened. Grass snakes are
larger and more numerous than adders,
and there is no evidence that the abb
sence of the poison fangs in any way
endangers the survival of the species.
1t is difficult to account for the alb
sence of any visible failure in life of in
sect feeding creatures competing for
existence on the same food, but with
such unequal physical means for OBJ
tanning it as are possessed by the swal-
low, the marmoset, the shrew, the
chameleon and the frog. In this list of
five creatures living upon similar food
we find that the physical appliances for
obtaining it range from the perfect de-
velopment of speed in flight in the swal
low, the addition of hands for capture
in the marmoset, bodily quickness and
activity in the shrew, the power of as
suming color exactly similar to that of
environment in the chameleon, supple
mented by special apparatus for
shooting out the tongue and capturing
insects when motiOnless, to the absence
of any special equipment at all, except
that of rather long tongue, in the in
sect eating frog.
Yet the frog, destitute of all these
specialized appliances, lives just as well
as the swallow, the shrew, the marmo-
set or the chameleon, and at least one
species, the barking frog, finds that to
get on in the world it has only to be
still and wait till creatures walk into
its mouth. 1t has acquired skin col
