Chief Means of Defense Among All
Old World Apes.

Among ell old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats
for mates or tribal supremacy. The
CANNES are in most cases enormously
developed. insomuch that i'll informed
naturalists have suggested that near
relationship must exist between the
primates and the carnivora. AS mat
ter of fact, these formidable teeth have
nothing to do with alimentation, but
are as purely weapons of war as are
the bayonet and the Maxim gun. In
practically every emergency demand
ing unusual energy, Obstinacy and
courage they come into play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil-as such things are
understood In pithecoid society-the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters of war. To become q
great and powerful anthropoid it is alb
solutely and brutafly necessary to have
a large and strong jaw. to give them at
tachment to the teeth and good lever
age to the muscles. That for an i'm
mense epoch our prehuman ancestors
achieved success in life I'm like man.
ner is as clear as the print of Maya"
to those who have learned to read ma
lures handwriting.
Since those days OF true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become Devil
deringly complex and our methods for
settling social difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here, as
in so many other Instances. the habits
of past age have left an indelible i'm
press on the nervous system.-Black-
