MAN AND THE GORILLA.
Scientist Contends That They Are Not
of Same Family.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Prof. Darwin's theory that man origi-
nally descended from the ape was contra
dicted Thursday night by Prof. Chapman
In lecture given in the Academy OF Nat
ural Sciences. One of the rarest and per-
haps the finest collection Of anthropoid apes
In the world. five In number, presented to
the Academy of Natural Sciences in Phila-
delphia, by DIR. Thomas Biddle, who Sc
cured the collection from the Hamburg
Museum, was on exhibition.
Prof Chapman made a minute COMPARE
son of the anthropoid apes anatomy with
that or the human being, and said that the
gorllia more closely resembled man in its
physical makeup than the others The
bones of the gorilla's paw hands, he
said, were similar in a great many respects
to those of man. while the animal was also
equipped with a score or more of muscles
found In the human body. At the same
time there were many important discrep-
ancies between the two. He disputed the
that the gorilla had four hands. by say
Ing that 1t had really only two hands and
two feet. although all four, he said. were
frequently put I'd the esame use. In all, he
ence between man and the gorilla than
there was between the Hottentot and 9TH
ers of that class and the perfectly de-
veloped man of today;
=, OiiS "a eio Sdllenl features winch showed
the important differences between man and
the gorilla, Prof. Chapman continued ex-
listed In the fact that while man possessed
the long flexort IN his thumb, the gorilla
was minus such AN accessory. There were
thirty or more points of great difference
between the two. proving undoubtedly that
man had come by the same from the rudi-
mentary period.g2 uf
In referring to- the impossibility of the
gorilla to talk. Prof, Chapman accounted
for 1t by saying that hollow In the front
Of the apes brain, together with the ami
malls inability to control its nerve centers,
probably accounted for its being incapable
OF exercising it's vocal organs. In conclud-
ing, the professor said:
IF we could concentrate into one animal
all of the monkeys peculiarities or traits
in which he resembles man we could find
no basis for comparing him with man."

Poetry and Science,
From the London Post.

From the London Post.
Poetry has perhaps no place in the ex-
act sciences, partly because exactness is
incompatible with poetic license, partly
because Of the unalterable tendency of
the poet to get things wrong. curious
example Of this was noticed in a lecture
at the Camera Club by Mr.. Duncan on
cutie fishes. The modern cutie fish is a
descendant of the fossil belemnite, but
the only descendant or the coeval am
monte is the paper nautilus. Better
known is the Portuguese man-of-war,
with which the paper nautilus is some
times confused, and which is really allied
with the belemnite group, because. while
Its shell appears external, it is not really
so. The poets Pope, Byron and James
Montgomery all easily fell into the error,
and Pope's well-known lines in the ''Es-
say on Man:
Learn Of the little nautilus TO SAIL
spread the thin oar and catch the driving gale
embody wrong description of this very
interesting survival Pope believed, with
many other people, that the little nauti-
lus comes to the surface keel downward
and spreads some f1eshy oval and ciliary
expansions in the form of two sails and
six little oars. But it does nothing of
the kind. The two little oval expansions
the sails-are never raised at all, but
always tightly clasp the shell. They
form, in fact, part of the she'll Moreover,
the nautilus comes to the surface upside
down, if we may so express it's position.
