MAY BE THE MISSING LINK.
That Mysterious and Useless Organ Of
Man, the Vermiform Appendix.

That mysterious and Useless Organ OF
Man, the vermiform Appendix.
A distinguished paleontologist claims
to have discovered facts serving to show
that the vermiform appendix, that mys-
teriously useless organ that has annoyed
the human family SO much of late
years, is no more nor less than the rudi-
mentary remnant of the gizzard with
which he believes the monstrous pro-
genitors of man of the tertiary period
of the earth's existence were supplied
Some of these gigantic creatures, lizards
in form, birds in kind, animals in some
functions are believed to have devel-
oped by the gradual stages described by
the supporters of the theory of evolu-
ton into the semblance of a human be-
ing.
If the bird form be the original of the
human race, it is reasonable to believe
that it may have been supplied with a
gizzard, which in the bird of modern
time possesses definite and important
function in the digestion of the food.
The bird having no teeth the food is in
many cases swallowed whole. Some

beaks, but normally the digestion is
permitted largely through the agency of
the gizzard where the food is ground
into fine PARTICLES. The interior coating
of this organ is rough and muscular
Many birds swallow, as far as the giz-
card, small pebbles that aid the process
of attrition. Thus if the latest theory
be correct a curious paradox is present
ed. Whereas in the beginning, as now,
the gizzard performed its functions
most satisfactorily when supplied with
indigestible substances, its .rudiment
that now remains in the human struc-
ture becomes a center of dangerous con-
ditions as soon as any foreign substance,
and especially any hard matter, is de-
posted in it.
One of the marvels of anatomy for
some years has been this strange sac in
the upper intestines, apparently with
cut the least function in the digestive
system and capable of being removed
without affecting the health of the pa
tent save to favorable degree. Re-

HIGH WATERS IN OHIO.
City of Dayton Is in Danger--3OO
Houses Submerged.

Dayton O., March 23.-Dayton is in
greater danger than at any time since
1865 when the central part of the city
was flooded. The Miami river shows IS
2-10 feet at the government gauge and
is rising Last year when about $4,000
damage was done the rivers highest
mark was 16 i-10 feet. North Dayton
is completely under water and about
500 houses are almost submerged.
The bacliwater is doing great damage
below the city. Three of the six troll
ley lines in the city are blocked, end
the steam railroads north of the city
are demoralized. The levees protecting
Miami City and Riverdale, populous
fort is being made to strengthen them.
The water is n the cellars in the CEN
trail portion of the city, and large and
valuable stocks of merchandise are in
iure5 so that the loss in that direction
is heavy.
Richmond, Ind, March 23.-Heavy
floods are doing great damage here.
The large bridge over Whitewater river
has been destroyed by fire and water
The city electric light plant is swamp

Nixon Paper mill have suffered teavy

from their homes. The streets are

Cincinnati, March 23.-The rain still
continues. Tha river at 10 a. m. reach

inches an hour.

Engineer Killed and the Fireman
Hurt Fatally.

Pittsburg, March 23.-The Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers are likely to
reach a stage of thirty feet of water
tonight. Heavy rains fell at all points
in the two upper valleys last night, and
the water is rushing toward Pittsburg
at very rapid rate. The following
districts are flooded: All of Allegheny,
south of Robin street and South ave-
nue.; River avenue and Upper Robin
son street and the upper districts trav-
ersed by the Pittsburg and Western
railroad; the lower bottoms of Woods
run; lower districts of Saw Mill Run;
lower districts of McKees Rock and
Esplenborough, and all the lowlands
between the Davis Island dam and
Beaver; Sharpsburg and Milvale dis
tricts, and the lower districts of Upper
Allegheny and Pittsburg on the Allie
gheny river including the Allegheny
Valley railroad tracks in the vicinity
of Kelly Station.
Great damage is reported, and fears
are entertained that the food may be
as great as the one in 1884. About 5
o'clock this morning there was sud
den rise in the Allegheny river, and a
clean sweep was made on the Allie
gheny side between Chestnut street
and the railroad bridge. All coal floats,
coal boats, shanty boats, RATS and
everything afloat were swept away,
wrecked or sunk, entailing a loss of
many thousands of dollars.
The Pennsylvania limited was de-
layed five and one-half hours by
washout near Canton, Ohio, and the
Niagara express, southbound, is held
by a landslide fifty miles from here,
and will not get away until late this
afternoon. At Carbon, Pa, a Pittsburg
and Western freight train went through
a bridge weakened by the flood. En-
gineer Lake was killed and Fireman
Bradley was hurt fatally.

Steady Rain for Five Days Causes
Fear of Floods.

st. Louis, March 23.-Owing to the
steady rain of the past five days there
is a strong probability that some re-
gions of the Mississippi Valley may be
flooded. For the last forty eight hours
the river has risen steadily at the rate
of an inch per hour. The rain extended
generally all over Missouri and the
Eastern Mississippi Valley.
Last night at midnight the river
gauge registered twenty-five feet, with
a probability that it would reach twen-
tyyfive feet by morning. In the dis
trict south of the city, along the river
known as Little Oklahoma" the river
is almost over the banks.

prise found that she had been divorced
over year, and that Mr.. Dillman had
remarked. Two years ago Mrs. Dill
man went to Terre Haute, and last
year Mr.. Dillman obtained a divorce
from her in the Spokane county court.
The allegations in the complaint on
which the divorce was obtained were
peculiar. They were that Mrs. Dill
mans former husband, who, Is she
supposed was dead, had suddenly re-
appeared. The complaint set forth that
it was by mutual consent the applica-
tion for the divorce was made. Mrs.
Dillman says she never heard anything
about her first husband coming back
to earth. and that she did not consent
to a divorce.
