to his bubbing impulses His hairy ancestors
lived and worked among the trees To climb

All limitations of the young follow one line
the playful reproduction of a former existence
Among the lesser civilized peoples it is
part of their life They have entrances to
their houses upon the roofs which are reached
by ladders. These are drawn up at night as
a measure of safety.
1t is all so true-these old old Instincts
that commonly describe mimicry in the
children as "aping," 1t is usual to speak of
monkeys as mimicking man. but if we carefully
study the play and instincts of the boy we
shall discover that he really "apes" the monkey.
The simple verb, to ape, hints at our one
time existence among the tree tops. Another
little fact; Man is the only animal which has
to be taught to swim. He is the only animal
naturally timid in tree climbing. Even
by the most determined efforts some men and
women cannot overcome this Unborn fear It
is well known that all apes fear water and
never swim They will go miles around
stream, even small creek, rather than cross
it. While cat hates water, it will swim to
save its life A big ape will drown with fright
and inability to hold itself up in the quietest of
waters.

Why WOMAN Can OUTTALK a MAN

they can talk with far less effort than those
who take deeper tone and have to use more
air to utter their words.
Here lies the real explanation of the ease
with which woman can out-talk man.
She has the advantage of using from one
seventh to one-sixteenth less lung power, and
even though her lungs may be smaller in
volume, the difference is never so great as
that between the amount of air required.
What chance, then, would mere man have in
debate with woman when at last she receives
the suffrage? The clocks in legislative halls
would have to be put back so far that they
would never keep time at all.
Woman possesses the further advantage of
being able to make more penetrating sound
with smaller use of power than the man.
The smaller calibre of the woman's throat,
combined with the higher rate of vibration
of the vocal chords, yields a voice that is
twice as easily audible as the mans when
produced by the same amount of effort. Most
people who have listened to the voices Of
men and women over the telephone will
agree with this.

Thus the experimenter has in his glass dish
an embryo chicken which is alive, supplied
with the food 1t wants by the egg material,
protected against germs, kept at exactly the
normal temperature and provided with the
oxygen it requires
The dish is put into the incubator, and while
the embryo continues to develop, it can be
watched through the cover of the dish. In
word, the chicken can be seen starting to
grow The first movements of its heart are
observable, as well as many other interesting
phenomena.
Quite ~0ssibly by and by Or, Patton may be
able to raise chick by this method to
point where it viii be ready to step up on the
edge of the dish, walk out and pick up its own
food. But he has not got that far yet
This discovery is likely to be of great value
in increasing the supply of chickens for COM
mercial purposes and reducing the cost of
living. At present hens are very unreliable at
the work of Matching out chickens from their
eggs. and even when incubators are used the
number of eggs lost is very large.
If there were some method by which we
could be sure of having chicken from every
fortified egg the present supply of chickens
would be doabled. The country consumes
nearly twenty million chickens a day, and
the cost of them ranges from twenty-five to
sixty cents apiece. gain of about $1,O00,000
a day in food supplies will be effected when
the new remedy is perfected.

How Being DOMESTICATED
Made Mana DIFFERENT Animal

THERG is a frequent mistake made by
many people when they compare the
conditions of civilization with the con.
ditions of savage life. As matter of fact
it is easier to understand modern conditions
of human life by comparing man to the
domesticated animals. The changes that
have come about as a result of civilization
are very largely the outcome of environment,
and such environment has been Of the same
general sort as has caused changes in the
animals which have been domesticated.
Civilized man has diverged almost as far
from savage man as the collie and the dachs
hund have dverged from its wolf-like ancestor.
The principal factor in civilized life is
identical with that OF the domestcated
animal, namely, that regular supply of food
is assured II is this which has made so
great difference in the tanned feshe eating
animals, such as cat and dog, whose food in
wild life is secured irregularly and with diff
iculty, and which has made less difference
in the grass-eating animals, such as horse
and COW, whose food supply has changed only
a little But in all eases there are marked
bone differences, and even without consider
ing specially adapted forms it is Immediately
seen that in wild animals the bones are
smaller but more solid, in domestcated
animals the bones are larger but of not so
dense a structure In the same way, the
bones of the white race are considerably less
dense that those of savage races, and even
when a comparison is made of the negro, the
bone is far denser than is the case in the

is it was not the insanity due to intense jealousy and
the emotions following but the effect of this temper
and emotion upon the secreng gland which caused it

Just this: 1t shows US how rigidly must control
our strong emotions and temper not to affect
these secetng glands for If do this then there can
be mental disturbance.
There is another very important fact to remember
about controlling the emotions and temper and this is
that If they are not controlled they will in time show

white man,
Digestive conditions have changed greatly,
and It is largely in this regard that man
parallels the demonstration of the animal.
The stomach has become far smaller in
civilized than in savage man, just as the
stomach of the dog is smaller than that OF
the wolf. The intestnes in man are shorten
ing up all the time, and to such an extent,
for example, that the vermiform appendix is
no longer of service but has become blind
pouch. Civilized man cannot endure physical
fatigue in the same manner as the savage,
nor can the dog run for ten or twelve hours
tirelessly as can the wolf, but in both cases
the senses have become more acute and a
high degree of response is observed. This,
as is evident, entails marked changes both of
the muscular and nervous systems. Even the
breathing apparatus in man has changed and
health is kept up with less oxidation of the
blood and consequently with a diminished
lung power. so that, in proportion to size,
the lung capacity of the civilized man is far
less than the savage

A WOMAN can talk longer than a man,
- and does so because she uses up less
force by a large percentage than the
man does. A German professor has proved
by actual and very delicate measurements
that the baritone singer uses far more energy
than the tenor and that the bass singer uses
more force than either. The range of voices
differs greatly, so the percentage varies to
the same extent, but as a general result it
was proved that the tenor uses only from one
seventh to one-sixteenth of the lung power OF
the baritone or bass. The difference between
the force used by the contralto and the so
prano is quite as marked, and the contralto
who sings in very deep tones uses at least ten
times the force of the trilling soprano.
The explanation is so simple that it is sur,

MATCHING Chickens from
SHELLED EGGS

DR STEWART PATTON. biologist at
Princeton University, has found out
H. how to take hens egg out of the shell
and make it develop artihcially.
For this purpose ne uses sterilised solu-
ton of water containing per cent of com
mon salt. to which little calcium chloride
and potassium chloride are added. With this
he fills a glass dish. Then he takes an egg,
Wipes it off with sterilized rag saturated
with pure alcohol $50 as to make it germ
free), and, with the aid of forceps likewise
sterilized), opens the egg in such a way that
the cut edge shall be smooth.
Then the contents of the egg are allowed
to slide gently into the dish, whereupon it
quickly rights itself, SO that the embryo of
the future chick is on top. The egg thus
treated is taken from an ordinary incubator
after undergoing about twenty-six hours of
incubation.
When this process is carefully performed ii
is accomplished without injury to the embryo
or the surrounding egg material. But it is
important that the solution shall be Of the
same temperature as the egg. Even if there
be a slight difference in temperature, it is
fatal to the success of the experiment
The dish containing the fluid and the egg is
thereupon covered with glass lid, which
rests upon a cotton collar-the latter being
held in place by a string. The cotton allows
free access of air, while shutting out germs

Trying To Provide Water.
Water Company Purchases
Tract of Mountain Land.

The Mechanicstown Water Company
is doing all it can IN order that the citl-
zens of Thurmont may have sufficient
water for house use and that the West
ern Maryland railroad can also secure
some water for their engines during the
prevailing drouth. So far there has been
plenty of water for house purposes, but
if street sprinkling would be permitted
likely everybody would suffer. If sprink-
ling is INDUCED in, the person so doing is
liable to have his supply cut out entire ly.
The water company is now making an
effort to increase the supply of water at
their reservoir. On Tuesday of this week
a tract of twelve acres of land was pur-
chased by them from Mr.. Uriah Warren
fels. This land is scarcely quarter OF
a mile from the reservoir and abounds in
springs, there being at least six on the
tract. The water from these springs
will be directed to certain point and
from there piped to the main leading
from the reservoir to town. Water at
these springs is of the purest and at this
dry season it is estimated that water
sufficient to fill 4-inch pipe flows from
them.
The collecting of this water will COM
mence at once, and when the work is
completed there should be no trouble
about the water supply for years to
come.

Three More Houses.

While Thurmont is not growing very

three dwellings and hotel were built,
and since their completion, improve
ments have been made to dwellings, about
town.
At present building operations are
again bright, work on one house having
already begun. This house is being erect
ed on Walnut street by Mr.. John Weddle
on the lot adjoining the one he built on
last spring.
Mr.. William Lohr has purchased lot
of ground from his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Simon A. Lohr, and we are told he in
tends building at once. The ground pur-
chased by him is part of the hill field in
front of Mr.. Simon Lohr's residence and
on the east side of the State Road. Mr..
VIM. Lohr now resides on his farm at
Zentz's Mill.
Mr.. VIM. z. Willhide in the near future
will erect dwelling an the lot adjoining
the residence of his mother on Carroll
street extended. Work on the founda-
ton of this building is now we'll under
way.
