A Half-Monkey Ancestor.

Recent anatomical proofs show that the
line of descent from the lower mammals to
the monkey passes through half-monkey
that still survives-the so-called forest
ghost" or ghost maxi" which inhabits the
Sunda Islands today.
Fossil relatives of this animal have been
found in North America in the deposits
from the first third of tertiary time. In
those days the line of man was represented
by these mammals. much lower in order
than the present true monkeys. And from
the half-monkey the descent probably is
to be traced to the still lower insectiverouS
mammals. such as the good, honest porcu-
pines. which certainly do not appear at first
sight to be ancestors.
And ancestors of the porcupnes, away
back in the cretaceous, or chalk periods,
lead again to the marSupial animals. such
as the kangaroo. At last find the duck

And this takes us back to the reptiles and
amphibians. The amphiban ascended from
the fish through the liza rd fish. From the
fish the thread leads back to the realm of
the things without backbones. the inverte
brates. And that takes us back to the sim

LONG BRANCH, N. j.. July 81, lors.
All roads have led to Hollywood this
week. and the famous annual horse show
which occupies the latter three days OF
the week, has served to attract visitors
from every direction to the horse show
grounds The summer community hero
has discussed little else but horse and
horse show. and a general air OF horsness
has pervaded Long Branch. so that even
the costumes OF the men and women have
been affected thereby. The picturesque
aspect of the Hollywood grounds has been
remarked repeatedly during the show. and
the visitors. both distinguished and other
wise. have crowded the stands and the
ring. The costumes of the women spec

been numerous. and many of these affairs
have been outdoor dinners on the lawn

When we ask this question the proof Of
the existence of gibbon apes so long ago
as the tertiary epoch gives us a valuable
factor 1t makes the gibbon the Oldest
man-like ape of the world.
f 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 line ascending to the
gibbon: from the gibbon separation into
three branches. One of these branches
remains the gibbon. unaltered. lasting to
the present day: another develops itself
into man-iike apes like the gorilla. CHM
panzee and orang-outang. and the third
branch, still Velled In mystery, leaoS 10
man.
The ape-man. then. must stand between
man and the arch-gibbon. Our deductions
would lead to imagine this ape-man as
having shorter arms than the gibbon OF
today His legs and feet would have to be
suited better to upright walking than those
of today's gibbon. and his brain must be of
a dimension about half way between that
of the brain of the gibbOn of today and
lowest human race of today.
Many years ago fossil upper thigh was
found near Mayence. in Germany. First 1t
was supposed to be the thigh of Il human
female about twelve years old but at last
it was proved absolutely to be a leg bone
of a giUoon ape. thus placing the existence
of the gibb0n monkeys in Europe abso-
lutely into the last perIOu Of the tertiary
epoch.

In a matter like this, demanding exact

In the tertiary middle epoch the climatic
conditions of the northern hemisphere OF
the earth were queer In most parts or
Europe it warm that palms ana

undoubtedly man-li&e apes But in many

The gibbon does not strike us at f1rst
sight like 4 man-like ape, but rather as
erotesduely exaggerated caricature or the
true monkey. He has arms so ludicr0uSiy
long that they are like fantastic trick
limbs.
Gibbon Walks Erect.
And We: in this queer fellow is a quality
that brings him close to man. Of all mon
keys the gibbon is the one that most de-
cidedly walks upright.
The orang- -outang walks with his legs
bent while his arms reach forward so far
as supports The sole of the foot does not
strike the ground with its full breadth
The. gibbun. too. is pretty clumsy IN MS

arms as supports. He raises them higher

gihb0n walks upright on fat ground under
all circumstances.
The gibbon has another man-ilke attri-

Man sings. His throat is organized so
that il covers a scale of sounds. No mon
key 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.
