There is a very ancient belief tina
! a blood vessel extends from the base
Of the fourth finger of the left hand
to the heart. whence as is alleged
the choice OF that finger for the wed
ding ring. In literature allusion to 1t Is
made as the ''vena amoris. or love
vein. Unlike most notions OF the
kind, this idea Is entirely correct, for
vein does arise directly at the root
OF the ring finger and, running over
the back Of the hand, finds its way
through the royal" vein, the "axil-
larry" the "subclavian and the in
nominate" to the heart This vessel
is very conspicuous. standing out
clearly when the hand hangs Imply
downward.
The reason for putting the ring on
the fourth finger, however. Is prob
ably quite different. It's use for the
purpose goes back to prehistoric times,
and its selection is likely TO have been
due to the fact that 1t is the least free
in It's movements of all the fingers.
Accordingly, a ring encircling 1t will
interfere less with the use OF the hand
than IL placed on any other digit.
EdppeHS lHdl tic cAlCHSOl ACHuOb
of the fourth finger is attached to
those of the third and fifth fingers by
cross-bands which restrict the move
ments of the ring finger considerably.
Anybody may test this for himself by
holding the third and fifth fingers for
chilly bent and trying at the same time
TO extend the ring finger.
The native Australian, who repre-
sents very degraded and primitive
human type, has a thumb that Is set
very far back on the hand, SO as TO
look somewhat like the toethumb Of
an anthropoid ape. This, OF course,
is particularly interesting. because il
seems to represent a stage In the de-
velopment OF a member to which man
is mainly indebted for his progress.
Ii is the "opposable" thumb. which
passes over and across the palm, that
makes the hand Gn efficient instru-
ment
The great apes, such as the gorilla,
the chimpanzee and the orang-outang,
more especially the two former. have
fairly developed thumbs; but relative
ly to the size OF the hand, they are
much smaller thar ours, and they are
not "opposable." While good enough
for trapeze work among the trees they
are poor tools for handling things
With the gradual development Of
the thumb as a tool has come about
the slow human advance which finds
It's ultimate triumph today In what we
call civilization. AS the hand gained
greater efficiency the brain grew, for
whatever the hand was able to achieve
had its reflex In the mind. Thus, IL
may be said that the human thumb
and the human brain together. the In
strument and the directing intelligence
acting and developing co-ordinately
Savo for the examples afforded by
primitive races. such as the Australian
blacks. we have no typical thumbs,
later than those of the apes, to com
pare with our own. No prehistoric
human thumbs. nor any parts OF the
hands OF very peoples. such as the
cave-dwellers OF early southern
France. have been preserved. The
