Can't TwiddIe Their Thumbs.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there is one thing they can
not do-that is, twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot
tom of the first joint of the forefinger.
It is very much restricted in its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round so that the tips describe u circle.
There are the same number of bones in
the hand of gorilla as in the hand of
q man. but the thumbs of the monkey
have no separate feXor or bending
muscle. This is why q monkey always
keeps the thumh on the same side as
the fingers and never bends it round
any object that MAJ be grasped. In
the gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is a callos-
ity on the knuckles on which the ami
NAL rests when walking on all fours.

How Men and Women Face Death.

How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? medical man tells us
his experience Tell the man of higher
type and greater intelligence, he says,
that he Is facing death and he begins
to fight, demands Il consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly TO the finish. Tell n woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal
lists. On the other hand, tell Il man
that he has one chance in a thousand
to recover if he will undergo an opera
tion, and he will trust to his own
strength and endurance rather than
undergo the knife. The woman will
choose the thousandth chance and sub
NIT to the operation with astounding
calmness.-WOmans Life.

Associated Pressl


CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Train No. 50
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, the Oriental Limited, was.
wrecked early this morning at West
ern Springs, H., near Chicago, three
sleeping cars rolling down an embank-
ment. No person was killed, but many
were injured. None of the injured,
however, it is believed are fatally
hurt.
Two women passengers were the
worst injured. One of them suffered
broken leg and the other a broken
arm. Other passengers who We're hurt
received cuts from broken glass ana
were bruised and shaken up.
The train, which came from the Pa
cific coast by way of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, was running rapidly
being seven or eight hours late. 1t
was due in Chicago at o'clock last
night.
At 430 this morning, when near
Western Springs, a broken rail sent
the three sleeping cars rolling down an
embankment ten or fifteen feet,
pitching the cars on their sides in the
ditch. The fact that no one was killed
seems remarkable to all who were in
the accident.
Freezing Temperature
Although the temperature was near
zero the passengers suffered little
from the cold, as relief was prompt
and the passengers were able to dress
before leaving the cars, notwithstand-
ing that the coaches We're in the
ditch.
The train was running at high speed
in an attempt to make up time. At
the scene of the wreck the embank-
ment is comparatively low. Had the
broken rail been fifty yards west the
cars might have been precipitated
twenty-five feet into deep ditch.
There were some fifty passengers in
the forward, or day, coach, which did
not oVerturn, and there were thirty
occupants of the sleeping cars which
were overturned.
The broken rail, termed by railroad
ers a "snake rail-" instead of piercing
one Of the cars and carrying death
with it, coiled up beneath the cars
and was in a confused tangle be-
meath the second car when the cars
swung across the tracks and
stopped.
The overturned sleepers were
stripped of their trucks as they rolled
down the embankment and windows,
and the glass Of the doors were shat
tered.
Relief Is Summoned
Physicians were summoned, a relief
train was made up and a quick run
to Chicago was begun.
Scarcely a passenger on the train
escaped injury At the Union station
the relief train was met by ambu-
lances and the more severely injured
We're taken to hospitals.
Among the injured are Mrs. Q. A.
