BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.
The Human Hand, One Of
violin virtuoso.

Sir Charles Bell many years ago wrote
famous book on the wonders of the
human hand. He regarded the hand as
evincing design in creation. The evolu-
ZIONIST considers that thG hand proves
the theory of the genetic relationship OF
man to the lower animals, or OF his de-
scent from some ancestor common TO
him and TO apes. monkeys and other crea-
lures more or less resembling his In
physical characteristics. The chiroso-
phist. palmist or hand reader thinks that
the hand is a register of the character
and destiny of its owner.
In fact, the hand is, like the eye, but
in q very different way. a kind of win
dow of the soul" One does not need 20
be fortune teller in. order to read what
the hand records of the occupation, the
temperament. the tastes. and. inferentl-
ally, the fortunes OF its possessor Care
full study shows the existence of types Of
hands such as the artists hand" the
musicians hand" the Inventors hand"
and many temperamental varieties from
those showing brutal and coarse In
stincts to those that denote the posses
sion Of high mental powers and spiritual
tendencies.
These things show themselves because
the hand is emphaticaIly the instrument
OF the mind, its tool and implement, by
means of which the brain not only turns
thoughts into deeds. giving them physi-
cal expression, but also fabricates addi-
tional instruments OF the minds own In
vention. The hand is the first and most
perfect OF machines. and at the same
time it Is the maker Of other machines.
II the hand had not been developed.
step by step, along with the brain, man
could never have brought his mental
superiority into effective play for the
subjugation of the material world The
wonders OF the hand are q reflected
