TEETH NOT BONES AT ALL.
They Are in Fact Part OF the Skin,
Saws Professor Thompson.


Says Professor Thompson.
Prof. f. Symes Thompson, Gresham
professor of medicine, in the course
of an address at the Polytechnic, Re
gent street. London, on The Evolu-
ton and Degeneration of the Teeth"
remarked that while the bones of man
and animals had decayed greatly dur
ing the last 5000 or 1000 years, the
teeth had been preserved in a much
better condition.
Teeth were not part of bones, but
part of the skin-they were, in fact,
dermal appendages. Old people were
surprised to find that when the teeth
of the lower jaw departed there was
very little of the jaw left. This pro-
duced what was called the nutcracker
physiognomy Referring to the fact
that the crocodile had an animated
toothpick in the form a bird, which
removed foreign matter, the lecturer
enforced the lesson of the necessity

And still another account. This was
the daring robbery of Johnsons silk
store.
Jim Denver knew who robbed John
sons silk store, but 1t was not his
pleasure to meet the robbers. He
knew the passing of the forged check
and the robbery were but links In the
chain binding three desperate men to-
gether. However, no ordinary reader
would surmise that the following had
anything to do with the preceding:
The Chicago, Rocky Mountain &
Wahoo railway sent out another spe-
cial car of emigrants early this morn

four men bound for the extreme

But the four incidents narrated con-
cerned the same people. On this emf
grant train were the perpetrators OF
these crimes, as were also Jim Den

have very little knowledge, but who
will enter our story at later period.

attention to, occupies one half of one
side of a car-the fourteen women
