the receiving vessel. There is also
plug to fit in the spout of the kettle,
thus affording> but one exit for the
steam-namely, through the pipe and
into the pail. 1t is obvious that, in
passing through this pipe, the steam
will condense and form in drops on
the inner surface of the pipe and pail,
falling thence to the bottom of the lat
ter. To disengage the condenser from
the kettle it is only necessary to turn
the clamps and detach the connecting
rod, but the inventor states that the
connection between the vessels is
rigid enough to permit water to be
poured from the kettle without inter
fering with the receiver. The in.
veitor of this apparatus is Emma Jest

shown. In tests at Nuernburg cleo

Queer Manipulation Of the Hands and

Raee-Relics Of the Tree-cIimbing
Stage. ,::st' a. H. s3 3...s IS s

The baby. has the power to move
Its. toes independently wrig.
Cling of the toes so often commented
upon by mothers. This form Of move,
inert is a heritage from those ances-
tors who, like modern monkeys,
would have used the fingers Of, their
hind feet as we do the fingers. of our
hands. -. i, -
So in any geological gardens,
monkeys may be seen hanging on to
bar above by their hands and using
a hind foot (hand) to pick up things
from the ground. 49,
A frequent action with babies is to.
turn the soles of the feet Sideways.
opposite to one another, while the legs
remain straight. Just this attitude
would be assumed by a monkey when
climbing tree or walking on a
branch in order to grasp the stem
with its hind hands,
The inherited effects of thus grasp
ing tree trunks or limbs with the hind.
hands are often very marked In young
babies. The bow legs, which are
feature of infancy and matter of
some anxiety to mothers, are no more
than the relics of the tree-clim bling
stage. And the mother need not be
frightened about this character-any
normally healthy baby will grow out
of it soon enough.
Then if a young baby be held So
10 ifO
may see that the feet are not put fat
to the surface; instead, the outer por-
tions of the feet rest on the ground,
while the soles of the feet are more or
less opposed to one another-they
have the bough-grasping attitude.
1t has been noticed above that
monkeys use their hind paws like
hands; their front paws they employ
as implements by which to suspend
their bodies from trees. For such pur-
pose the thumb is not necessary; all
that is required is kind of graspins
by themselves. The monkeys which
do most tree climbing have quite lost
their thumbs; their front hands are,
in fact, merely grasping hooks
Disuse of the thumb may be OBJ
served in other monkeys when they
are grasping bars, and it is noticeable
in babies when holding sticks or
grasping flower pot. An adult TAX
ing hold of a flower pot would put the
thumb inside and make a lever of it..
But the baby does not act like an
adult; it does not put out it's hand to
take the flower pot as an adult would
do. Instead, it dabs at the rim of the
flower pot with the palm of it's hand
downward, just in the manner that a.
monkey dabs at a branch.
The manner in which babies hold
their hands in clasping attitude is a
result of the ancestral bough-graspine
habits. This attitude may be seen
in monkeys generally, and in those
species which lead the most aborea1
life it has become a permanent fea
ture, because of the difficulty OF

IS in Dr Bulls private hospital, in ThIrty-thrd-

for an abscess in his head. The operation is re-
ported TO have been a difficult one, as the
growth was within ne-sixteenth of inch OF
the brain Mrs Bostwick, who Miss Marion
stokes was at the hospital when the operation
was performed and remained a her husbands
bedside until yesterday. when she returned 10
Orenta Point
II was reported last night that Mr.. Bostwick
was improving. although not entirely out of
Danger This is the second operation which has
been performed on Mr. Bostwick within year
He has also had scarlet fever. For an abscess
in the head he was operated on early last spring
AT his large estate at Orienta Point. but he has
been troubled with it ever since and has been
compelled TO keep the cavity filled with medi-
Gated cotton which put him TO great incon-
venience The operation Friday per-
formed by DR.. II. HOlbroOk Curtis. assisted by
other specialists. Mrs. BostWick said last
night.
The operation on my husbands head was ap-
parently successful He is still IN the hospital
and is resting easy. 1 am quite sure he will
fully recover from its effects"
At the wedding of Mr.. BOStwiCkS erin
law, Miss Florence Stokes. TO f. Ambrose Clark
he asked by several of the wedding guests
whether not the absCess in his head was
healing. 1T still pains me" was the reply.
Since the first operation Mr.. Bostwick has de-
voted much of his time to automobiing and
Yachting and although his injury is said to
have been caused by fast riding on dusty roads
he has been fearless a driver ever.
