The BLOOD OF APES.
and Establishes a Sort of "BlOOd
Relationship"

The recently devised biological
tests of blood have given a new sig
nificance to the term "blood-rela-
tionship." DR.. Prudential and 9TH
ers believe that tests of this kind
have established a probability of our
cousinship with the apes, since trans
fusion of human blood, which is
harmless with them, is always in
furious to other animals, operating
by dissolution of the blood corpus
cies, But it has been found that the
serum of an animal may be immune
ized against human blood by appro-
priate treatment, and it is then
called human anti-serum." Such
serum. when mixed with human
blood, produces precipitatc. DR.. A.
s. F. Grunbaum, lecturer at Univer-
sity college, Liverpool, announces in
the Lancet that "human anti-serum"
produces precisely the same precipi-
tate with the blood of the apes. He
writes:
"Other observers have already
nointed out that human anti-serum'
precipitates the lower monkeys blood
to a slight extent. Adopting the
general mode of application of the
test, I find that human anti-sertm'
gives a precipitate with all three
species of anthropoid apes already
named, and to me this precipitate is
practically indistinguishable from
that obtained with human blood
either in quality or quantity. Occa-
sionally it seemed that the blood of
the orang gave more gelatinous
precipitate as compared with the
granular precipitate of the other
bloods, but this may have been due
to accidental circumstances. The
granular precipitates from other
bloods are also liable to become
sticky when shaken up. But it is not
only by the action of human anti
serum or anthropoid blood that this
close relationship of the various
bloods may be demonstrated. 1 have
prepared gorilla, orang and chimpan-
zee anti-serum. Tested in the way
described, they all react, not only
with their own blood but with each
of the others, and also with human
blood. Here again, in the absence
of definite standards, am unable to
assert that there is any difference
Of reaction amongst the many CONF
binations of anti-serum and blood
which can be made with the four
aforementioned bloods and sera."
There is thus certainly a strong
resemblance between mans blood
and apes blood, and so, in one sense
Ut least, "blood-relationship.'

CHURCH LIGHTHOUSE.
Lantern i'm steeple of st. Philip
Church G. uidcS Mariners Into the
HarbOr Of Charleston.

The only church in the world, SO
far as is known, that is also light
house, is St. Philips church, Charles
ton, S. C.
St. Philips, which is one of the old-~
est churches in America, is known as
the westminster abbey of South Car
olina," because within and without it's
walls so many distinguished men lie
buried, including John C. Calhoun.
The history of the old church is close
ly interviewer with that of South Car
DINA, and many of the celebrated
events in the history of the province
are connected with it. .,.., re
1t is one of the sights of Charleston,
and strangers are always taken to see
it and shown it's graves and monu-
ments.
The most remarkable feature of the
old church, however, is the fact that
it's lofty steeple serves the purpose of
a lighthouse and is used to guide the
seafarer and mariner safely into the
port of Charleston. The use of the
steeple as lighthouse dates back to
1914, WHEN lHc Oulteu cCdlcS uSul-
house department succeeded, by dint
of repeated efforts, in inducing the
vestry of the old church to allow a
lantern to be placed in the upper story
of the steeple, to be used as a range
light for vessels entering the harbor
through the jetties at its mouth.
The light used is very powerful and
is placed at an altitude of about 1875
feet above the ground, SO that it is
easily visible 80 miles at sea. Ships

FOR INFANTRY. SERVICE.
prof. George Forbes Has Invented q
Range Finder That Gives Dis .
lance with Accuracy.

Devices which give the range of dis
tant objects have been used in the
navy for years, and also with long
range artillery, like that employed for
the defense of harbors. Apparatus for
infantry service has now been invent
ed by an English engineer, Prof.
George Forbes.
The instrument is a combination OF a
square aluminium tube, six feet long,
thu can be folded up for carrying,
and field CT opera glass OF special
design. Rejecting prislns are mount
ed on the ends Of the tube, and each
throws an image of the object under
scrutiny at right angles toward the
middle of the tube. Here they are re-
fected again into the field glass, one
into one barrel and the other into the
other. In this manner stereoscopic
effect, of great value optica lily, is Sc
cured. Only the ends Of the instru-
ment require an unobstructed view of
the enemy.
Rays oflight proceeding from given
point in the distance, such as a sol
dier's bayonet, to the ends of the
range finder diverge slightly. The
nearer the object to the observer the
wider the angle, and vice versa. Ifone
can measure this angle the distance is
easily computed from the length of
the aluminium tube, which constitutes
"base line" The prisms are so ac-
curately adjusted that when the
images enter the two tubes of the
field glass the angle between them is
the same as out in front of the instru-

A Miniature Picture.

A Flemish artist has produced what
is said to be the smallest painting in
the world. 1t is picture of miller
mounting the stairs of his mill and
carrying sack of grain on his back.
The mill is depicted as standing near a
terrace. Close at hand are horse and
cart, with few groups of peasants
idling in the road near by. All this is
painted on the smooth side of an or
binary grain of white corn. Though
1t is drawn with perfect accuracy, it is
necessary to examine it under mi
croscope. It does not cover half inch
square, and is in many respects one of
the most remarkable art products of
the day.-N. Y. Sun

Mode OF Making 1t II simple and Will
Repay the Experimenter for
His Slight Trouble.

There are many amateurs who have
at one time or other tried to make
storage battery, but have given up in
disgust on finding that their plates
have stipulated, thus running their bat
terry. This is often caused by not hav-
ing the electrolyte of the proper
density, but this fault can be corrected
by the use of q hydrometer. Readings
should be taken regularly with the n.y.
drometer, and this will also form .
valuable guide as to the amount OF the
charge in the battery; that is, the den
sity of the electrolyte after charging
will be found to be slightly greater
than the limit of discharge. A simple
and cheap hydrometer can be made as

swell, you've got me dead to rights
out here. What are you going to do
about it?''
The Mexican's only reply was to
point silently ahead. His big jaw
was set immovably and his heavy
eyelids dropped over a gaze colder
than ice. His companion watched
him furtively in growing apprehen-
sion.
Since dawn they had ridden over
maddening miles Of this interminable
desert, without the exchange OF q
single word. The Americans pride
of race in not "knuckling" to dirty
"Greaser'' by speaking first had been
gradually but inexorably borne down
in part by the terrifying stiffness
and monotony of this blistered
waste, but much more by the I'M
natural silence and immobility main
tanned by the other. He had always
reckoned himself a fairly brave man,
but the uncanniness of the whole
situation was getting upon his
nerves.
What a fool he had been to ride
out, absolutely unarmed. into this
pale sea with this granite-faced devil.
He felt, savagely, that he would give
NIL he possessed to mash that grim
mouth, to crush the light from those
narrow, steely eyes. Presently he be-
gan to speak rapidly, thickly, as one
hurried on by an uncomfortable
something apart from himself.
.'Look here, now, I blame you.

that's just the point, couldn't. I'm
engaged to girl up in Nevada, and
all my prospects depend upon my
marrying her; SO you see how I was
placed, don't you?"
The Mexican gave no sign that he
had heard. His left hand, holding the
thin reins that ran to the detected
mouth Of the weary mustang, rested
on the high pommel of the "buck''

ment. Provision being made for it's
measurement in the telescopes, the
calculation is easily made. In each bar
rel of the field glass is stretched YER
tical wire. One is fixed and the other
is movable. When the two are seen as
one, and the distant object is sharply
defined, one reads off an exceedingly
delicate scale on the adjusting screw.
Prof. Forbes declares that the distance
can be estimated within two per cent.
of the truth, even at 5000 yards.
Summarizing paper read by the in
ventor before the London Society of
Arts, Nature says:
''The wire seems to stand out solid
in space, and the slightest turn of the
micrometer screw causes the wire to
appear to be nearer or further than
the object looked at, and when the wire
appears to be at exactly the same dis
tance the micrometer reading gives
the distance with an accuracy far
greater than that attainable by OBJ
serving the duplication of images on
the retina. =.
"This range finder can be used in a
variety of positions. The more stead
lily it is held the,more accurate the re-
suit. A standing position is the least
steady. When kneeling, using only
half the base, the other half may be
bent down at right angles, and so form
leg, which serves as a rest on the
ground. The most easy position is sit
ting, with the elbows resting on the
knees. Another steady position is
lying fiat on the ground facing the OBJ
ject. In every one of these positions
you can take advantage of cover.
Since the eyes are virtually at the ex-
tremities of the base, the observer may
stand, sit, kneel or lie behind tree,
bush, rock, anthill, horse, comrade or
wagon, and will not only be more able
to work without sensation of danger,
but without drawing the fire of the
enemy on his comrades.
"Lord Kitchener having expressed
desire to see the range finder tested in
the field, Prof. Forbes has proceeded
to South Africa with his instrument,
and thorough examination of it's ef-
fciency will be made under practical
conditions"
New Hospital for Consumptives.
With regard to the glass hospital
which is to be erected at Philadel-
phia for the cure of consumption,
with isolation for each patient and
a constant supply of rarefed air, a
similar experimental hospital is al
ready for use in London. The patient
sits in glass cubicle, breathing an
atmosphere specially treated by
ozone. The value of oxygen, or
ozone, in the treatment of ulcers,
burns, wounds, lupus, ETC., has been
proved there by several cures of hith-
erto incurable cases during the past
five years. Great as has been the
actual relief thus afforded, this oxy-
gen hospital exists equally for pur-
poses of demonstration and expert
ment.

THE FIRST WOMAN.
An old Eastern Legend That Tells
How she was Created.

INV tnt WV 1hfHh'hf
The last section "Of a Finger Of the
Moon Reddcned by the Setting sun" In
the Sanscrlt work called the "Surging
Of the Ocean Of Time" contains legend
concerning womans creation which Is
commonly credited throughout India,
and which runs somewhat as follows.
At the beginning OF time. Twashtri the
Vulcan OF IIlndoo mythology created
the world But when he wished TO
create woman hc found hc had en-
ploycd all his materials IN the creation
of man. There did not remain one
solid element Then Twashtri, per-
picked. fell into profound meditation.
He reused himself to do as follows:
He took the lightnCss OF the leaf and
the glance Of the fawn, the gaycty OF
the suns rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency OF the wind, and the
timldity Of the hare, the vanity OF the
peacock and the sOftnoss OF the down
on the throat of the swallow the
harshncss Of the diamond, the sweet
flavor Of honey the cruelty OF the tiger,
the warmth Of fire the chill Of snow,
the chatter Of the Jay and the cooling
of the turtle dove. He melted all this
and formed a woman. Then he made
a present Of her 10 man. Eight days
later the man came 20 Twashtri and
said
"My lord, the creature you gave me
polsons my existence. She chstiers
without rest. she takes all my time.
she laments for nothing at all and is al-
ways H." Aud Twashtrl received the
woman again. But eight days later the
man came again TO the god and said:
MY lord, my life is very solitary
since | returned this creature | re-
member she danced before my singing.
i recall how she glanced at me from
the corner Of her eye. that she played
with me, clung TO me-" And Twashtri
returned the woman 10 him. Three
days only passed and Twashtri saw the
man coming TO him again.
"'My lord" said he, 81 do not under
stand exactly how, but I'm sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. l beg of you relieve me
of her"
But Twashtrl cried. "Go your way
and DO your best"
And the man cried, 81 cannot live
with her!"
"Neither can you live without her"
replied Twashtrl
And the man went sorrowfully away,
murmuring. "Woe is me; / can neither
live with her nor without her."-Col-
