their ancestors were essentially Ike the
present monkeys of the old world. al
though different from the latter in many
ways. They resembled the monkeys OF
the new world-of tropical America-per-
haps more than the present old world
monkeys do. Going back another step,
these monkey ancestors of ours must have
been derived from forms somewhat like
the lemurs of the present day, and more
especially from forms like the tarser OF
the Philippine Islands. These last-named
ancestors of man were descended from
forms like no living animal. They were
neither carn!vorous nor ungulate (hoofedD

Big rlarine Engines

There are destroyers in our and
other navies Of the world which
could cross the ocean at record
breaking speed we're it not for tn e
matter Of carrying the necessary
coal, which would tax the capacity
of the craft. An effort will be
made to solve this problem by the
construction of a 10000 horse pow
er craft driven by five gas engines,
each of 5000 horse power. These
are the largest marine gas engines
ever constructed, and because. of
the great economy OF their opera.
ton it is expected that the boat
will be able to cross the Atlantic
ocean in four days, depending alone
on her own fuel supply. The max
imum speed Of the boat will be 81
knots, but on the trans Atlantic
trip it is proposed to maintain a
speed Of 30 knots all the time. The
British Government has already ex-
perimented with marine gas en-.
gines, but not OH this prodiginous
scale.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they con !.
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stituticnal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infsmed condition OF
mucous lining If the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumblins sound or I'M
perfect hearing, and when it en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and the tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case

A Fast Scout Ship

The United States scout cruiser
Salem, which was launched from
the yards of the Fore River Ship
building Company at Quincy. Mass.
last week, is an entirely new tyre
of war vessel, and one which is ex-
pected to add much 10 the efficien-
cy of the service in the event of
war. The Salem has speed Of "a
knots, which makes her faster than
any cruiser in our navy. Some Of
the scouts which are being con-
structed for the British navy are
to have a slightly greater speed,
but the Salem is built to keep up
to her "a knots in any kind of
weather, and she has more than
twice the coal capacity the Eng
lish vessels, which will, obviously,
give her a much greater radius of
action. No other ship in the navy
had as high a freeboard as she.
This is expected to result in unusu-
ally good seagoing qualities, to
give her great range Of stability.

Ill sorts of weather conditions, be-

If WATER NEVER FR0zE.
There Would Be Several Startling
Changes In the World.

Changes In the World.
The whole economy of nature would
undergo startling change. II water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revolutionized. The icebound
polar seas would cease to exercise
their chilling influences. and conse-
quently the currents Of the ocean
might either cease or be turned aside
In different directions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek
ether shores than those Of Britain, and
The climate there might be subject to
the extremes Of heat and cold notice
able In other. countries Of the same
latitude. The icebound rivers Of the
north, notably those Of Russia and
Siberia, would be open for navigation,
and Russla's activity as a sea power
and a commercial nation might alter
the whole world Of commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. An immense tract OF
land would be available for cultivatlnS
hardy plants, and Greenland might be
what its name indicates. The absence
Of icebergs of the coast Of Newfound-
land and iceland would result In q
much warmer climate In those islandA
where now the crops often fail.
Ice. too, plays an important part In
the economy Of nature. Thus. If water
never frozc. snow, hail and hoarfrcst
would cease. The loosening of soils
and the disintegration Of rocks by the
frost and many other now vital effects
would be lost-ln short, the absence Of
Ice would be on the one hand an In
calculabIe disaster, on the other hand
