The Missing Link.

Prof. Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making geological
charts OF the northern part of Java
cables the Academy OF Sciences at Am
sterdam that he feels certain that he
has discovered the long-looked-fcr
missing link. He does not claim the
honor of the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was in.
formed by Dutch merchant, Van
Beuren, that he had discovered a new
species of monkeys in dense forest in
which he had lost his way
The professor started out to look
into the discovery of the merchant
and while watching for the animals to
appear he heard a peculiar half human
voice. Locking up, he saw an enor-
nous nest and two ape-like animals
looking down upon him.
The natives of that part of the
island have long known the presence
OF these apes. which they call Ash
Penrizi." Unlike any other apes, they
battle frequently and the females wear
strange necklaces of twigs and red
berries and nurse their young, singing
half-articulated words. They have, in
fact, language, but it consists of very
Few words.

Longevity in Animals.

Some interesting statistics have re-
Gently been published as to the rela-

IRENE limit is thirty-fve years, and
for the horned cattle about thirty. For
the dog it is given at twenty five, while
sheep, goats, pigs and cats are grouped
at fifteen. But there are stranger dis
PARTIES among the birds. While a
goose may live thirty years and spar
row twenty-five, crow as many as a
hundred ducks, poultry and turkeys
die OF old age at twelve. The palm for
longevity is divided between the ele-
phant and the parrot, for both pass the
