Tribe of Eskimos Found To Have
Extra Ribs.

London. May ga curious dis
covery has been made by Prof. Chas.
Dawson, fellow of the Geological So
ciety, namely, that practically all the
members of a certain tribe of Eski-
NOES possess an extra pair of ribs.
Exactly what they have got, anato-
mically, is a thirteenth joint to the
backbone, to which an extra set of
small ribs are attached.
Normally the human body has II
joints of the backbone. The number
of these joints is somewhat variable
in the apes, but hitherto it was sup
posed that mans frame had develop
ed by a process of evolution into a
fixed condition of the ribs. Among
civilized races the extra ribs are so
rare that their existence is unknown
except to the professional anatomist.
Professor Lawson argues that the
Eskimoes developed their extra ribs
by the law of the survival of the
ittest," the extra ribs enabling them
to manage more skillfully and with
less danger the shallow canoes or
hyaks in which they do their hunt.
ing of marine animals.
These hyaks," says Professor
Dawson, ARE without keel or ballast,
and can only keep their occupant
from Davy Jones locker by the mar
velous dexterity with which he main
tains his balance, the tendency being
Immediately to capslze. In rough
seas this occasionally happens, and it
is only by an extraordinary twist of
the body and the use of his paddle
that he is able to reverse his position
at a time when small things count
and not a moment can be lost.
THE muscles of the back and the
flexibility of the waist are thus of ex-
treme Importance in the effective
management of the hyaks. 1t is quite
clear. therefore, that any advantage
which might be derived from the ad-
ditional vertebra in hyak hunting
would lessen the chance of risk by
death in such accidents and serve to
perpetuate in the race a great num-
Der of individuals possessing this ad-
vantage by reason of survival, natu-
raj selection and inheritance"

Observation-Disclosures
Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re-
move Them With the Othine
Prescription

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a prom
inent physician and is usually so
successfully in removing freckles and
giving a clear, beautiful complexion
that it is sold by druggists under
guarantee to refund the money if ii
fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few APP
plications show a wonderful i'm
ment, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely.
Be sure TO ask the druggist for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money back guar

plan that comes from the north coun-
try suggests a four-county division

a more or less stormy session, with
out arriving anywhere. 1t Is doubt
ed now whether there can be any di-

around the palace and its grounds, as
the women threatened to scale the
high walls enclosing the gardens.
The skirmish between the police
and the s~uffragists was lively while
IL lasted.
Mrs. Pankhurst, surrounded by q
bodyguard consisting of several hun
dred suffragettes, suddenly appeared
from the portal of a residence oppo-
site the park, crossed the road to the
gates and attempted 70 march down
the drive to the palace. Mounted po-
lice then barred her progress. The
women, who were armed with sticks
attempted to cut their way through
the lines of patrolmen. They fought
with vigor. using their sticks with
such force that the police charged.
Several women were injured in the
struggle. The police also suffered
some casualties during the onslaught.
King George himself was an interest
ed spectator of the earlier movements
for his protection, watching them
from a window of Buckingham palace
