NOTORIOUS HUN INTRIGUER

Admiral Won Hintze, German min
lister ut Christiania and formerly
minister to Mexico, who was selected
to succeed DR.. Won Kuehlmann as
foreign secretary, is perhaps the most
notorious intriguer In the German dip
lomatic service. China has been the
scene Of much of his activity, and
there he hobnobbed not only with the
Germanophile mandarins, but also
with the robber bands and spies. y
So scandalous, indeed, was his be-
havior that he was recalled for a
while and at the outbreak Of the war
he was In Mexico. In the guise Of an
Englishman he managed to return to
Germany by way of the United States,
England and Holland, and in 1915 was
sent back to China as minister.
He Travelled once more by the
way Of America, and despite the close
watch for him which was kept by the
Japanese he managed to get across
the Pacific as a supercargo in a Scan

EASY 70 WRITE WITH ToEs
Made That "Accompiish :
ment" Can Be Acquired in a Com
pafativeiy Short Time

When next you so to the zoo. watch
the monkeys use their hands. sug-
gests the Popular Science Monthly.
Notice how they seize things with
their fists. They do not use their
finger-ends as we do While the
higher monkeys. such as gorillas and
chimpanzees, may be taught to use
their fingers, they never learn to use
them as easily as do human beings.
The monkey is primarily a tree
dweller. It lives in forests and swings
from tree to tree. using Its hands as
hooks with which 1t grasps the
branches. The thumb is not brought
into play. Some South American
monkeys have lost the thumb through
disuse: all that is left Of it is indi
Gated by little lump under the skin.
In the higher monkeys the wrist is
built like yours. 1t has the same
number of bones. But the monkey
has never used his wrist, and 80 it
has lost it's flexibility. The monkey
can use his fist to better advantage
than his hands.
Man. on the other hand. has used
his feet so long simply for the pur-
pose Of walking. that he would ex-
perience considerable difficulty in
using them as he uses his hands. Yet,
it is amazing how quickly man can
learn to use his toes as he does his
fingers. If you don't believe this. Just
try to write with your toes. At first
the letters will be very large and
awkward. But with very little
practice you will find that YOU can
write with your foot more easily
than with your left hand. if you are
naturally right-handed. 1t is an at
tractive exercise with which to while
away an hour. We know you will
try the experiment.
