NEW APE LIKE MISSING LINK
Strange Black Haired Monkey from
Java at Bronx Zoo.
New York World.

New York World.
The experts at the Bronx zoo are
puzzling over a strange new monkey
from Java, which is the nearest so
far seen here to the long lost ''mlss-
ing link the dream Of science ever
since the Darwinian theory Of evolu-
tion was propounded.
The sindian in question was brought
to New York a day or 50 ago by the
captain of the steamship Clan Mae
donald. It was taken off the ship in
the Hudson and conveyed to the zoo
in stout cage The captain said he
had never seen any monkey like it IN
all his travel in the East Indies. The
: folks at the zoo have never seen any
thing like it either.
The creature is supposed to be some
kind Of gibbon. It stands 3 l-2
feet high and has an unusually intel
ligent fact, the body is covered with
long, Dlack nalf.
Prof. Melvin Haggerty, of Harvard
university, who recently made study
of the monkey dialects at the Bronx
zoo, is to be apprised Of the ''find"
in order that he may examine the
Iereature and talk to it if possible. in
the hope that it may turn out to be
the real "missing link,' which is sup
posed to bind man to his ape ances-
ors.
Several times scientists have
bought they had found the missing
Ink. only to discover on closer exam
ination that they were as far from
solving the battling problem as ever.

The croundhoq story.

February 2, or Candlemas day, was
favorite holiday, marked by public
gayety and ceremonies in Europe dur
ing the middles ages. 1t is still
marked there by the closing Of banks
and Offices, but not otherwise, outside
Of the reading Of church services. In
the church calendar it is known as the
Feast Of Publication Of the Virgin,
and was first instituted by Pope
Sergius about the year 684 A. D. The
popular name of the day is derived
from the early custom Of lighting up
the churches with candles and carry.

tival.
AS to the weather superstition that
gives to Candlemas the name Of
"groundhog day." that is worldwide
fable. In Germany it ID the badger

HOW TO GET CORRECT COUNT

Minds just Now.

Errors in the late primary vote as re-
turned by the various boards has caused
considerable discussion about the court
house as to the best methods of curing the
evils connected with the present system.
Many of those who have watched elections
agree with District Clerk Smith that there
should be an election commission either
appointed or elected which would have full
power to appoint and discharge election
boards and which would he responsible for
the action of the local boards.

one canvassing board composed OF experts

present canvassing board. THE ballot
boxes ought to be sealed when they are
taken to the voting booths. Then without
being opened they should be collected and

as the polls closed. This would insure an

1t would not be necessary, however. to

as they do in New York, collect the ballot
boxes two or three times during the day
and have the board begin the count at once.
This would insure early returns and an
