Catarrh has been so generally thought
to be disease confined to the head and
throat that it is very difficult to get
many people to understand that catarrh
may affect any part of the human body.
All the organs of the body are lined with
mucous membrane; all the passages Of
the body are also lined with mucous
membrane. Wherever there is a mucous
membrane there catarrh may exist.

THE LIGHTNING AT WORK.

Steam power is to be superseded by
electricity in the government dock
yards at Kiel, Germany.
Electricity is to be used to convey
passengers to the top Of the Wash
ington monument, Washington, D. C.
The electric fan bids fair to super
sede the punkah coolies of India.
The regular price for four coolies to
divide up the "a hours is six cents
each. With electrical fans the work
can be done for one-third of the cost,
and considerable inconvenience may
be avoided.
1t has been suggested that the cleo
trio heaters of trolley cars be con-
nected to the controller on the plat
form, so that when the highest speed
is required the heaters will be cut off.
They require some little time to cool
Off so that the heating effect will be
sufficient. This will reduce the de-
mand for current by the heaters when
full speed is necessary. 1t requires
quite percentage of the total output
OF the generating plant in the winter
to heat the cars.

WILL INVADE JAVA.
Two Expeditions Expect to Find
Missing Link There.
American Party Il In Charge OF a
Yale Man and II hacked by
VanderbfIt-will Hunt for
Pithecanthropus,

Search for the pithecanthrophus,
the missing link" in Darwin's theory
of the evolution of man, is now under
way, with the money of Vanderbilt
behind. David j. Walters, student
of Yale, backed by George Wander
bilt, left New Haven on September l,
and expects to take up his still hunt
on the island of Java about October
Is. Prof. Haeckele, of the University
of jena, and one of the most noted
scientists of Europe, will leave Jena
about the 1st of October on the same
quest, and the race may be to the
swift.
Several Of these animals are said
to have been seen in the forests OF
Java, and every effort Of the two men
will be bent toward securing q speci-
men.
The pithecanthropus belongs to the
ape family. Its name comes from the
subdivision pithecia. of the family
cebidae. Scientists have credited its
existence accordingly as they have ac-
cepted the Darwinian idea OF the
origin Of man. Stories of the crea-
lures have come from travellers and
from natives Of the jungles-stories
even to the carrying off OF women by
this strange creature. which so close

Credence is given to these stories by
the followers Of Darwin, for the rea-
son that of all the known members OF
the ape family none approaches near
enough to man in general attributes
to be accorded the place Of missing
link. All of them have marked like
nesses to man in many physical fea-
lures, but none is convincing proof
of the theory in itself.
Briefly, the Darwinian philosophy
holds that all animal life began with

isms. Granting that of all these pres
ent forms man is at the top, the ques-
ton is: How did he get there and
from what lower order? Darwin held
that man was not necessarily devel-
oped ape; only that far back In the
history of world-building the man
branch Of the ape stock diverged
from the normal. and that it con-
tinusd through ages to develop along
the lines of its differentiation.
In a great measure the study OF the
known apes and monkeys had been
disappointing to scientists, who would
have made man direct descendant
of the ape group. Four of the best
representatives Of the group now
known are the gorilla, chimpanzee,
orang-outang and gibbon. But no one
of these approaches man more nearly
than another, and all fall far short.
The brain of the oran-outang, with
the convolutions, is more nearly like
that of man than is the brain of any
of the others. But, on the other
hand, the body of the gorilla is most
like the body OF the man. 1t is here
that such intense interest lies in the
pithecanthropus, If in brain, skele-
ton and general physical outline it
can show a more marked likeness to
man-can fill in the gap so palpably
open in the present genealogical
chain of the human race-it will mean
much to the science of anthropology
and to the whole theory OF evolu-
tion.
Tracing the tracks of man back
through the ages, the scientist has
found many gaps in the fossil history
burned or buried his dead, and there
are ages which never will yield their
secrets to the scientist. Yet his re-
search into the customs, rites and
manners of savage tribes point to a
lower origin for even these rude spe-
cies. Again, as pointing to this evolu-
tion of man, the scientist has found
rudimentary organs in man, showing
departures from the ways of life Of
his ancestry. AS for example, the
well-defined ear muscles in man could
not have been of use to him had he
been born to his present high estate.
The question of the missing link
25 years ago was more in the public
ear than it is now, but to-day 1t has
not been answered. If the pithecan-
thropus shall give evidence in support
of the Darwinian theory, it promises
to be quite as welcome as it is now
unnecessary.
