far as a blood relationship" Few
persons are as yet aware of the fact
that this relationship of man by no
means applies to all of the monkey
tribe, but only to that group including
such examples as the chimpanzee,
orang, gorilla and gibbon, and not to
the more common monkeys. This
distinction Is OF unusual scientific in
terest V. l.. Kellogg, entomologist
of Leland Stanford Junior University,
has furnished a new and somewhat
startling kind of evidence of the re-
llationship of man to the anthropoid
group of apes in distinction from 9th
ers of the monkey tribe. 1t is based
on the contention that the presence
of parasites of the higher animals,
including birds and mammals, is gov
erned more by the relationships of
the animals than by geographic range
or any other environmental condition.
IL this is correct the kinds of para
sites found on individual animals will
indicate in some measure their rela-
tionship.
According to Kellogg the parasites
of birds and mammals are of two
groups, namely, the biting lice, feed
ing on the feathers and hair, and the
sucking lice, feeding on blood. Ger
tain mites may perhaps also be as
signed to this category, hut the tieas
cannot be, for they hop on and OFF
their host, and all their immature life
IS non. parasitic and wholly apart
| from their future hosts. The biting
lice, of which nearly two thousand
species are now known, occur chiefly
on birds, while the sucking lice, Of
which less than hundred are known
so far, are confined on mammals. No
biting lice have been found on man
or on any anthropoid ape. sucking
| lice occur on man. Representatives
likewise have been found on the an
tropoid gibbons and chimpanzees.
1.-The other tailed monkeys which, in
contrast with the man-like apes, are
shown by the blood relationship"
tests to be unrelated to man, harbor
parasites of an entirely distinct kind.
The resemblance of man to his sim
| ian cousins crops out in this most
unexpected fashion.
How these remarkable atfiniteS OF
host and parasite are preserved is not
easy to explain. The California en-
tomologist responsible for the facts
recited states that he has often be-
come, in the course of collection, the
temporary host of various bird and
Mountaineering biting lice but
these parasites all seemed as anxious
to escape as he was to nave them.
And they did escape; or, if they did
not, they died in a few hours.

SHERMAN FAILS
TO BRING PEACE
Differences of Rival Republican
Factions Do Not Interest
Illinois Senator.

Chicago, Ill. March 11.-Hopes of
republican leaders that the arrival of
Senator Sherman in the city would
have a tendency to close the breach
in the party ranks have proved ground
less. Senator Sherman has been in
the city two days, and has done moth
ing to bring the warning factions OF
the republican party together. Instead
he has taken the position that the row
between his local lieutenants and
those of former Governor Deneen is
none of his affair and that he cannot
interfere in it.
AS a result of the stand taken by
Senator Sherman it is now certain that
the Deneen organization will have a
fight on it's hands at the republican
primaries, Sept. 8. The chances are
that it will have to face a combination
of the Lorimer and the Sherman
forces, which will aim not only to
nominate the republican candidates for
county offices, but to wrest control or
the republican county and state or
ganizations from the former governor.
II had been expected that Senator
Sherman might make some move to
prevent such fight, as it is considered
certain that it will hurt his chances
of reelection The senator, however,
has kept aloof from the Deneen lead
ers. He has made no effort to see Mr..
Deneen and talk the local situation
over with him, and has not intimated
to his own followers that they should
go slowly in antagonizing the Deneen
men.
The Deneen men are not worrying
about the senator's attitude. They
have decided to confine themselves to
the aldermanic campaign for the pres
ent and will make no move until after
the April elections.

WINS
IMPORTANT SUIT
Upholds Patent Claims In.
volving Millions of Dollars
In Royalties.

New York, March IA decision
upholding the patent claims OF Rev
Hannibal B. Goodwin against the East
man Kodak company OF Rochester,
involving millions OF dollars in roy
alties, was handed down by the United
States circuit court of appeals here
Yesterday afternoon. confirming the
opinion previously handed down by
Judge John r. Hazel of Buffalo.
The decision says that Rev. Hanni-
bal B. Goodwin is undoubtedly the In
yentor and entitled to all the bene-
fits of the basic patent on photograph
ic films.
Goodwin died more than 13 years
ago, a poor man. The profits Of the
Eastman Kodak company on the dis
puted patent have been estimated TO
run into the millions.
For many years Rev. Hannibal B.
Goodwin was rector of the Episcopal
House of Prayer at Newark, N. j. He
was fond of dabbling in photography
and was an amateur chemist. In 1887
he discovered a process for making
Photographic films and applied for
patent. The Eastman company con-
tested his claims and it was not until
1898 that the patent Office finally is
sued the patent.
