ground under all circumstances
The gibbon has another man-like
attribute.
Man sings. His throat is organized so
that Ii covers a scale of sounds. No
monkey, no mammal of any kind,
equals man in this. except the gibbon.
The gibbon controls a whole octave,
and Brehm says that the song of the
gibbon pleased him greatly, being the
most musical that he ever heard any
mammal except man utter.
Does this mean that the gibbons,
the forest-ghosts of Southern Asia,
are, after all, nearer to the ancestral
! forms of early man than are the gor-
illas and orang-outangs?
When we ask this question, the
proof of the existence of gibbon apes
so long ago as the tertiary epoch gives
us valuable factor. 1t makes the
gibbon the oldest man-like ape of the
world.
If that is correct, the fossil remains
of the gibbons of the miocene period
take us back beyond the eagerly
sought ape-man. They are earlier and
lower than he.
The Historical Chain.
The historical chain would be:
From the lower monkeys a line as
cending to the gfbbon. From the
branches. One of these branches re-
mains the gibbon, unaltered, lasting
to the present day. Another de-
velops itself into man-like apes like
the gorilla, chimpanzee and orang
And the third branch, still yelled in
mystery, leads to man.
The ape-man, then, must stand be-
tween man and the arch-gibbon. Our
deductions would lead us to imagine
this ape-man as having shorter arms
than the gibbon of to-day. His legs
and feet would have to be suited bet
ter to upright walking than those of
to-day's gibbon. And his brain must
be of dimension about half way be-
tween that of the brain of the gibbon
of to-day and the lowest human race
of to-day.
Many years ago a fossil upper thigh
was found near Mayence in Germany.
First 1t was supposed to be the thigh
of human female about twelve years
old. But at last it was proved abso-
lutely to be leg-bone of gibbon
ape, thus placing the existence of the
gibbon monkeys in Europe absolutely
into the last period of the tertiary
epoch.
Then a skull of a gibbon was found
near Calcutta in India in strata be-
longing to period only a little later
in this same tertiary epoch
In the latter third of tertiary time
there were many changes in the habi-
tat of mammals on the Northern
Hemisphere, owing probably to
changes in temperature. 1t is con-
ceivable that the gibbons began to
move toward the warmer parts of
Asia. Now, had the division of the
branches leading severally to gibbons.

another reason. They know what the

In the tertiary middle epoch the eli
isphere of the earth were queer. In
most parts of Europe 1t was so warm
that palms and other tropical growths
thrived. And, as in the Swampy for
ests of Borneo and Africa to-day so
various species of man-like apes
dwelled in the forests of what is now
Rhenish. French and Swiss territory.
One of these man-like apes, christ
ened Dryopithecus. has been found
in fossil form in the district of Haute
Garonna in France. 1t is an animal
a little larger than the living chimpan-
zee. For a time it was believed that
in dryopithecus we had the most man.
like of all known apes. But dryopi-
thecus has proved to be less man-like
than even the chimpanzee.
Then a second species was discov-
cred. 1t has been named Pliopithecus.
1t was spread we'll over Europe in
the miocene period, and if any living
zooiOgist could have met the crea-
have been amazed at it's resemblance
TO an ape that is living to-day. 1t is
that particular form of man-like ape
which is least familiar and interest
ing to the public-the gibbon.
In their whole structure the glib
bons are undoubtedly man-like apes.
But in many anatomical Characters
tics they approach nearer to the lower
monkeys than do orang- outangs, gor-
illas or chimpanzees.
The gibbon does not strike us at
FIRST sight like man-like ape, but
rather as a grotesquely exaggerated
oaricature of the true monkey. He
has arms so ludicrously long that they
are like fantastic trick-limbs.
GibbOn Walks Erect.
And yet in this queer fellow is a
quality that brings him close to man.
OF all monkeys, the gibbon is the one
that most decidedly walks upright
The orang-outang walks" with his
legs bent while his arms reach forward
so far that his hands touch the
ground and serve as supports. The
sole of the foot does not strike the
ground with it's full breadth.
The gibbon, too, is pretty clumsy in
his walk. But he does not use his
immense arms as supports. He raises
them higher than his head and bends
them so at elbow and wrist that they
form kind of counterpoise like a
balancing pole AT the same time he
puts his entire sole to the ground
Thus he can walk-in a drunken man.

hesitation showed plainly that Mrs. Ii

courteous and a feeling of loyalty to
her own people-"but this is so much
more comfortable, especially in hot

blue silk tunic with a slender hand.
