has adopted the practical and natural
method of doing what Professor
tIaeckel wants done. He has sent out
Z party himself. Mr.. David J. Walters
las sailed from San Francisco for Jap
IN, where special steamer will be
hired and properly equipped for this
expedition to the island of Java. It
is hoped to render the projected voT-
age Of Professor Haeckel unnecessary.
Mr.. Vanderbilt expects to find the
pithecanthropus at once if he be where
Doctor Haeclel believes him. If the
ape-like man is not in Java Mr.. Van
dcrbilt's agent will search the forests

is convinced Of that fact The Pithe-

missed from the field Of contemporaries

Man began to be foreshadowed pos

appeared. Our semi-ape ancestors, If
Darwin and Haeckel be right, pos
;essed only faint resemblance to
The still living short-footed apes. The
tertiary period probably produced
them. They Originated" perhaps out
Of marsupials, or pouched animals (of
Which the kangaroo remains). Then
came the tailed apes, but the narrow
nosed species is all that interests the
student of man. The tailed apes "or-
iginated" out Of semi-apes by the
transformation Of the jaw ard the
changing of their claws into nails.
Nest nearly akin to man are the large
tailless, narrow-nosed apes, the orang
OF Asia and the chimpanzee Of West
Africa. They originated during the
miocene period in all likelihood and
developed by the loss Of their tails,
and partial loss of their hairy cover
Ing and by the excessive Developments
OF that part Of the brain just above
the facial portion Of the skull.
But toward none Of these does the
present search tend. Mr.. Vanderbilt
seeks the ape who has ceased to be an
epe ana has become man! He
directed Mr.. Walters to bring back as
many live specimens as possible. To
kill such an animal would be murder.

George w. Vanderbilt, In order to
do something Of consequence for the
human race, and incidentally to prove
that the moneyed class is not wholly
Indifferent to the advancement Of
science, will search Java for the miss
Ing link. The young master Of Bilt-
more manor house has selected brill
liant Yale student, Mr. David J. Wal
ters, to lead an expedition to settle,
SO far as human research may do So
the most important problem that now
confronts the biologists of the world
namely: Does the actual species of
ape-like men that the logic of biology
demonstrates to have lived at re-
mote period of the earth's history still
exist?
Ernest Haeckel, the distinguished
professor at .ne University of Jena,
maintains that this .soulless, voiceless,
dve-flngered, tailless creature is still
extant amid the jungles and tangled
forests Of Northeastern Java, and he
last spring announced his intention to
set out in quest of this only link yet
missing to complete the wonderful
chain in the theory of mans descent,
beginning with the monera, or Ogan-
:sms without organs; advancing to the
amaeba, thence by seven stages to the
skull-less vertebrates.
The specimen of the Pithecanthropi,

hopes to find marks the twenty-first
stage of advancement from the single
eelled monera or protoplasmic germ.

pletely demonstrate the new, wonder

man existence that eliminates God,
and to clinch what must be admitted
to be the most brilliant product of the
human brain-the theory of develop
ment. Whether 1t be called Darwin
ism or Haeckelism is Of little i'm
portance. The doctrine OF evolution
owes its own development to several
stages, but to Lamarck, Goethe, Hulk
ley and Darwin in particular. It has
divided the Christian church, 1t has
maze warfare of science, and has
commanded more serious thought by
The brightest minds than any theme Of
the nineteenth century. Upon the re-
suit of the hunt may depend the faith
Of 29O, 100000 Christian people who
cling to the beliefs Of their ancestors.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is believer, and has
never wavered in his acceptance Of the
Adamic theory Of creation. But he

Glasgow Taxes Heavy Enough.

Inquiries are constantly directed 10

it is fixed principle that the profits
made on these shall in no case what

The profits go toward improving and

WHAT BECAME or THE cuNs7

Mystery Surrounds the Disappearance "
Cannon in South Africa.
Now that the war in South Africa is
nearly over it would be interesting to
know what became of those celebrated
"Iong tome" and other Dig siege guns
which made life in the besieged cities
of Ladysmitb. Kimberley and MAIZE
king so uncomfortable for while.
These guns seem to have fallen Oft the
earth. While the Beers were in COM
mand of the railways Of the region
It would have been easy enough for
them to have spirited the guns away.
but in the close Of the fights the Brit
ish fell upon the retreating farmers
with an energy which cut them OF
from the railways near tho besieged
cities that had been so harassed by the
guns. Now. where are the guns? It
Is morally certain that all the big
siege guns which kept people awake
nights at Kimberley, Mafeking and
Ladysmith were not carried to where
the remnants of the Boer army arc
fighting. Neither at Paarde5erg, Lady
smith, Kimberley nor Mafeking was
one Of these celebrated guns captured.
What has become of thcm is one OF
tho problems which Lord Roberts is
trying to find out. 1t Is not ct all prob
able that the Beers had heavier gun
in their siege trains than five-inch
piece. That is the caliber Of an ordt-
nary siege gun. That they did have
guns of that caliber or nearly that
seems certain from the accounts re-
ceived during the war Of the artillery
duels between the British naval -four
point seven" guns and the big siege
guns of the Beers. The fitting" OF
these heavy guns seems almost mex
plicable. The British believe that the
Beers have hidden them away some
where In the vast territory which has
been fought over and are looking for
them assiduously. but SO far without
success. Though the guns OF the Creu-
got pattern arc lighter, it is said, in
proportion to their caliber that the
older type they cannot te of much less
weight and in the old type the wheels
Of siege carriage alone weighed over
800 pounds. Then there is all the para
phernalia which goes with siege gun,
all weighing heavily. To cause the
disappearance Of all this heavy ma
terlal SO that no trace Of it can be
found is a marvellous piece of work.
For a while "Oom" Paul persuaded
his followers that miracles we're being
worked for the benefit Of the Beers,
but the British never believed in a
special dispensation for Fir. Kruger
until they realized chat they could
| not find the big siege guns. The man
ner in which they were spirited away
was marvellous. ii II anyone ehould see
a Boer walking about with siege
train q suitable reward will be paid
by General Roberts, provided the Boer
will tell how he did it.

Employed to Prevent Forest Fires In
Minnesota. #
Minnesota has law for the proven
ton and suppression Of forest and
prairie fires. has regular fire war
dens," and, as a result, the chief fire
warden Is able to report that there
were only ten forest fires in 1899. These
burned over 1888 acres and damaged
timber to the extent Of only $1,541.
The whole number of prairie fires the
same year was 81; acres burned over,
24,616; damage done, $4,S56. The chief
difficulty that has been found In the
application of the laws to save Mime
sofas fine forests arises from the fact
that people do not like to report
against fellow-townsman or neigh
Dor, and the machinery of the law is
not extensive enough to depend upon
it's own workings Independent of the
cooperation of the people. Minnesota
has about 100000 acres OF idle land
we'll adapted to the growth Of pine, and
considerable part Of the report of the
chief fire warden is devoted to show
ing that such taking over of these
lands for this purpose by the state
would be profitable. He refers to Ger
many's experience since Frederick the
Great introduced forest or tree cul-
ture, and shows that the value of the
