MAN N H APE.
A Scientist Illustrates Points of Re-
nembIance and DissimilnrttY.

A Scientist illustrates Points of Re-
sembIance and Dissimi1nrtty.
I'm his brain structure" says a lee
turer, man is evidently closely allied
with the ape and the difference be-
tween man and any Of the higher apes
in this respect is not so great as that
which exists between the apes and
monkeys, taken as a whole, and the
other mammalian orders. And as Hulk
ley says, the difference in weight of
brain between the highest and lowest
man is far greater, both relatively and
absolutely, than between the lowest
man and highest ape"
Speaking of heredity, the scientist
said it was a ~well-known fact that the
young of all animals tend to revert to
the ancestral type. Thus said he,
lin a group of cl~osely-allied species of
birds-where some of the species are
solidly covered and some have notified
plumage and spotted breasts-the
young of the solidly-covered species are
often conspicuousfy notified and
spotted. This is notably the case with
the thrushes, especially in the case of
our robin. So among mammals the
young of many species exhibit markings
quite different from their parents. Lion
cubs, for example, show spots which
ally them to the leopaFds and their
kind.
The human infant presents many
simian features, which, though shock
ing to the fond parent, point, neverthe-
less, toward a common anthropoid an
cestry. Among the most remarkable of
these e~vanescent characteristics are the
p1antar burrows or creases on the sole
of the foot in newborn babies, which
present a striking similarity to the
creases on the foot of the ape. It has
been further shown hat not only the
plantar furrow but also the great mo-
bility of the toes in young babies must
have had their origin in an arboreal an.
cestor possessing a p~rehensile foot. The
disproportionate strength of grip in the
hand of a young baby and the tendency
which it shows to cling to things fur
Their supports the theory of an arboreaI
life on the part of mans archaic an
cestor.
"phe young ape is quite human in
the relative features of the head and
face, while the adult degenerates to-
ward a more bestial character. AT the
same time the adult man approaches
more toward a lower type in certain
features, notably in the greater de-
velopment of the brows and facial ele-
mentS."
In conclusion, the lecturer stated that
while his ancestors may have had adj
vantages in protection from the weather
by a hairy covering and "a more keen
sense of hearing and smell, man had
unquestioned advantages in the devel-
opment of his mental faculties and the
skill of his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Item.

from top to bottom. He leaped faster,
his face fercer and very white. jim
could feel the iron frame gather itself
convulsiyely. Only a few hundred feet
now, and they would be safe. Ali
That was nobly done. The men cheered
wildly. Jerry ran like q deer before the
dogs, but the water pursued even more
swiftly. There was a fearful crash and
a cry from Jim. He saw a black wall of
water and jagged logs hidden in foam
rolling down upon them. The ice be-
meath Jerry's feet split to right and
left; it was moving, and he stumbled
twice. But with three jumps he could
reach the shore. One brave leap, an
other, and the ice cleared. Now a wide
lane of water swirled between him and
safety. George and the doctor were
standing waist deep in the stream to
help him, and he gathered his strength
for that last leap. The gap widened and
he saw it could not be done with Jim
as a handicap. He must toss the boy
over first. Jerry's foothold was now
only a pitching block of ice, caught on
a temporary obstruction. AS they ball
anced, Jim chung to his friends neck,
and the big fellow smiled at him with
his old, sweet kindliness, thoughto-day
his eyes were brilliant and his Ice was
strong.
"All right, old man." he said. "L.et
go and Doc,l catch ye. Don't be scarf"
The wind, water and logs screamed
and crashed all about them.
"Now!" cried Jerry, and threw Jim
straight into DR.. Mason's arms. They
saw him stagger in the attempt to re-
cover his footing. Again and again he
clinched his hands and crouched. But
he could not jump. The ice, oscillating
from his motion as he threw Jim,
sagged and careened beneath him, until
the steady feet failed and he fell face
downward. The men greaned aloud; a
few turned away, and others ran into
the water to help him. He had been
swept beyond human aid, however,
and they could only watch him die.
They saw him whirled into the water,
as the block Of ice broke into a thou
sand fragments; once he faced them
and waved his hand. In his face was
the light they had seen as he strobe
along the path ten minutes earlier.
