For some years past the eminent

one of the most remarkable of these
researches is Il confirmation of Dnrwin's
theory that man is closely related to the
primates. From his investigation DIR.
Johnson has found that the eyes of all
the apes, including man, are practically
identical. Each has the highly complex
system OF veins and arteries, and the
direct or parallel vision.

GEN. WOODS HEAD HURT,
Secretary Taft Explains How He Gave
Soldier Permission to Have 1t
Looked After.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 70 r.
Secretary Taft today explained in detail
To the Senate committee on military a'-
fairs the payment of expenses OF Gen.
Wood who came from Manila TO the
United States last summer for a surgical
operation. Gen. Wood suffered from an
injury received in Cuba seven years ago
by striking his head on chandelier
Gen. Wood first left the islands ON
leave. but met the secretary in Chicago,
and explained his circumstances, sug-
costing that he be put on duty status.
to which the secretary consented. The
President directed Gen. Wood to return
to the Philippines by way of London TO
consult a specialist. The secretary said
that an officer was as much ON public
duty when protecting his health as at
ANY other time. He said Gen. Wood
WAS allowed actual travelling expenses.
which amounted to $4,000
The secretary was asked if he know of
any other officer who travelled on a liner
instead of Il transport and had his cN-
pcuscs paid. This was followed by a
question as to whether Gen. turhin had
not SO Travelled. The secretary said that
Gen. Corbin applied for an order, but
he diI not Civ" it; that Gen. torbn paid
his own expenses.

Fighting Machine without Men,
Mr.. Tesla appears to believe that we
are approaching a period where, in
spite of the everincreasing machines
of destruction. war will not be destruc-
tive to human life. The advent of
this new principle he says, Intro
duces into warfare an element which
never existed before-a fighting ma

mately make war mere contest OF
machines, without men and without
loss of lfe--a condition which would
have been impossible without this
new departure, and which, in my opin-
ion, must be reached as preliminary to
permanent peace
The telautomaton he has invented
may be described from the first model:
"A storage battery placed within 1t
furnished the motive power. The pro-
peller, driven by motor, represented
the locomotive organs The rudder, con
trolled by another motor, likewise driv-

of the directive organs. AS to the
sensitive organ, obviously the first
thought was to utilize a device respon.
sive to rays of light, like a selenium
CELL to represent the human eye. Ev-
identity the automaton should respond
only to an individual call, as person
responds TO a name. Such conSidera-
tons led me to conclude that the sen

case its actions could be controlled II

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Human Life Not sufficiently Safe
guarded by Traffic officials

Increased safety in railroad travel is
one of the urgent needs of the day,
says the American Homes and Gardens
Railroads have never carried so many
people. never run so many trains, never
put on 50 many cars, never employed so
many men, never covered so much ter
ritory and never been so popular as Il
means OF getting about as to-day yet
with all this has come greater danger
to human life more accidents. more Sc
rious accidents, more people hurt and
more damages inflicted. The simple
truth seems TO be that the railroad
managers are not sufficiently alive to
the sacredness of human life. This is
iic most precious Of all earthly things
1t is something that once destroyed can
never be replaced. and something the
injury to which may lead to results Of
most serious consequences. There il n
popular impression IN Europe that rail
road accidents are more frequent in
America than abroad, because the
American trains are run at a higher
rate of speed. This contention is hard
~ borne out by the facts, since with
the exception of one or two recently
established trains. the fastest trains in
the world are operated abroad. The
numerous American accidents are due
not so much to the rapidly with which
American trains are run as to the care
lessness with which they are operated
or the Indifference with which the
American public ut large views the
railroad. An accident that involves n
person not an employee of railroad or
not passenger may be partly due to
