been amply possible If there had been

been amply possible II there had been
fact upon which to base 1t?
He proceeds: Stanley, quoting from the
note book Of the late Emin Pasha, asserts
that some of the anthropoids Of east Cen
trai Africa are acquainted with the use of
fire, and that in small droves, under the
guidance OF torchlights. they would conduct
their foraging expeditions" The general
consensus OF naturalist travellers Is that
simians, while they will collect around the
dying embers of deserted campfire, have
not sense enough to reach behind them for
sticks with which to replenish the fire. At
the time the alleged assertion, was made
IT was also stated that Stanley was careful
TO father the idea upon Emin Pasha that
the latter got his idea from natives who
mfstook African dwarf tribes for apes, and
that Emin Pasha was $50 accurate an
observer that he had suffered severely
from the eHects Of fall, having stepped
OH porch In broad daylight, because he
couldn't see three feet before him. May
we, therefore, suggest that the decidedly
advanced position held by the animal In
relation to the arts" is not yet proven?
1t Is more candid to state that 1.-The re-
cent efforts of Mr.. Garner of New York to
report monkey speech have had no
results, except those of failure" doubly
candld because 1t wa4t in TINA ted in one pa
per. at least, that Mr. Garner had declared
with some warmth. before he started, that
MS report was going 40 In favorable to his
theory. We all knowsthat several animals

ger, piedsure, the caHstO a. mate and one or
Two other expressions; also that perhaps
four kinds of birds can bestaught to articu-
late few words, but beyond this exact
science hardly goes.
Your correspondents however, continues:
one SUCH (scheoD in the presidency of
BOMBAY, with six qualified instructors, has
recently sent In report of progress to-
ward instruction threading, writing and
manners of apes" The undersigned, though
personally interested IN natural history and
IN the presidency of Bombay, confesses
that ne mas not seem any such report or
heard OF any such schools, and has been
under the belief that 1.-The British govern
ment in India" had enough to attend to
(even before the famine and the plague) i'll
making both ends meet, without establish
ing schools for apes When your CORES
pondent writes again, will he be pleased to
give some convincing particulars about the
report" the qualified Instructors and
the school or schools?' For, as he con-
cludes, THE full results of what promises
to be most important inquiry will be
awaited with much interest" 1t is only
feared that the awaiting will be in
definitely long.
Statements similar to those criticized are
generally intended to strengthen, by insinu-
alton, the theory-for which there has been
no proof as yet-that man is descended
from an ape-like animal, probably by self
evolution. That may or may not be go,
but in any case let us hasten slowly, for
true science is not best served by a rehash
of what some of the reading public have
reasons for considering to be suspicious
abies. NICK

THE LEXINGTON CAR HORSE.
His Trials and TribuIntio Set Forth
in Rhyme.

IN Rhyme.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The time required to reach any given
point in the city by the horse car line Of
the lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
Comp pany, together with the numerous un-
necessary traI sfer annoyances to which
ore is subjected on this line, induces many
who live in Northeast Washington, and
dc not ride wheel, to walk to and fro be-
tween their hcmes and places of business,
myself among the latter number. AS /,
takes thirty-five minutes to walk from
lexington to 18th street and New Yo-x
avenue, ample time is afforded for reflection
upon almost any subject, and abundant
rcod for thought is suggested in the sights
alone that are daily witnessed on the Eek
ing on horse car line in parallelng it's
tracks as one walks along. If the thoughts
thus engendered are not always flattering
to the railroad company, they are to blame
Tor anording the opportunity to indulge in
tnem' 1or II they gave even a half decent
htrse car service there would not be SO
much time for reflection upon their short
ccmings, as those who now walk along the
line would ride upon it.
Two or three mornings ago. as 1 turned
INTO new YORK avenue at North Capitol
street on my way in, horse car was lust
ascending the grade which begins at that
point going west, and as / walked along
Keeping pace with the car as 1t slowly
emaclated beasts struggling to the summit
suggested the following thoughts. winch
Can best be reflected in rhyme:
An Ode to the lexington Car Horse.
Twelve. months more of expectation,
Another siege of tiresonie wait
Due 10 recent legislation,
eur Uur homes to reach by rapid gait
Silent beasts through eyes appealing
For relief from hardshIs great,
Corporations have feeling,
Man and beast alike must wait
Poor old horses, tired and weary
bruised and SCARED and beaten sore,
U er this route tough and dreary
Doomed to suffer twelve months more
strapped to box ears weighty laden
Built for trolley to propel,
"foahiLs strainin. Ger their burden,
AS they drag them up The hill.
When they reach the termination
0f this line Of grades and curves
Dripping wet with perspiration,
Shvering quivering ali their nerves.
Then without the least cessation
Hustled. lashed and all aglow,
Panting TO the railroad station.
Poor dumb creatures, back they 70
Try, poor brutes, to hold together
Bones and sinews, hide and hair
ThrCugh change of season and of weather
TIL we get our compressed air
Then your carcass In the market
VIII be sold for what It's WORTH
Scars and bruises will go with it.
When your dust returns to earth
None Of all the brute creation
Has induced so much remorse,
At the capital of this nation
As this faithful old car horse
Tho cruel way he has been treated
Makes a rank hypocrisy
OF our Masted civilization,
And our Christian charity.

Her Guests We're Charades.


The awful question Of entertainment at
family feasts was very cleverly settled by
cne hostess last year, and the idea is well
worth repeating. She sent out her notes of
invitation and in each requested the re-
cipient to appear in costume which would
suggest the title Of some well-known book
Some OF the ingenious devices caused a
great deal of amusement, and thus the dead
level of monotony was relieved. The largest
man In the family, standing six feet two
In his stockings, wore across his chest a
ribbon bearing the legend, by Sir Walter
Scott" he was the "Talisman," or tallest
man. Another, young girl this time, had
fer necklace three brown eggs, on each
of which was painted Rome, b. c. 5OO"
and she was finally found to represent the

Of burned candle was tied in one mans
