The Flood OF Men and Apes.

An interesting departure from the
usual methods of studying the Simil-
arity between man and the other pri-
mates has been made by Professor
Uhlenmuth, q noted German anthro-
pologiSt. who has recently carried on
4 series Of interesting observations on
the blood of men, apes and monkeys.
Between the blood Of the first two
there are many points of similarity and
evidences of a distinct relationship,
but the blood of monkeys can readily
be distinguished from that of men,
The difference is more or less marked,
according to the species, the greatest
resemblance being seen in the. case Of
the gorilla and the least with the le-
murs. a small species about the size OF
a cat and having 4 face somewhat
like a fox. A singular fact is that.
Judged by the blood. there is less evil
dence of relationship found in the
American families of apes than i'll
those Of the Old World.-Harpcr'S

AMERICAN FURNITURE IN BRITAIN
Sound Scolding For the Naughty Yankee
Who Invade Them.

| Sound SC0ll1nS fOr the Naughty 1auheeS
Who Invade Them.
The presumption CT America in sup
posing that the Old Country is to come
to her for furniture is amazing. 1t is
also. to those learned in furniture,
rather amusing.
The simple reason is that American
furniture is not good enough. 1t runs
too much on the lines of what trade
journals on the other side POLITICALLY
term Every attractive lines in mission
fitments'-saunt, ungainly designs
worked out by machine in cheap
woods.
Perhaps the idea that England is a
dumping ground where rubbish may
be shot is not yet eliminated from the
American mind. And yet several eX-
periments Of that kind have ended
sadly. A good many years ago cheap
American cycles were almost hurled in
our faces. Now one of the rarest birds
on an English highway is q cycle made
anywhere but in England.
Another attempt of a less serious
character was made a little while ago
with bedroom suits. They were not
particularly cheap, but to quote an ex-
pert the design was bad, the work
was bad, the effect was tawdry." and
the American-made bedroom suit is
not in demand.
Of course England does import furni-
ture from America. Of the 100000
(S3, 800, O0Oj worth OF cabinet-ware
which came from abroad in 1903 Amer
lea sent a larger part than any other
country-f250,00 &1,250,G00) worth.
America and France arc indeed the
only countries which send us as muck
as 100000 $500. 600 in the year.
But those figures represent goods Of
a totally different kind. The French
furniture is highly finished. elaborate
work; the American cheap and machine
made. In one solitary Line" can the
Americans claim the bulk of the Eng
liSh trade. The roll-top desk was orig
inally IN American invention. and for
some years In American monopoly.
But 4 desk is now being produced in
England which in price completes with
the A~merican-made article and in quail
ity, according to experts in the retail
trade, is distinctly superior.
For tire plain fact is that the English
cabinet-maker has no competitors.
Even the finest French work, which no
doubt comes nearest, is a bad second.
In "fniSl" the Frenchman can hold his
own. but in the actual cabinet-making.
the putting together Of the article. he
leaves much to be desired. The Ger
man workmanship is not bad, but the
design is heavy and clumsy.
Omitting cheap machine-made furni-
ture-the only class apparently within
American ken-the bulk Of it is not
made in factories at all. London is
| the centre Of the trade. and Shoreditch
and Bethnal-grcen are its sancta sane
forum. The best furniture-making is

"You see, this packers strike was
