strictly to her own neighborhood,
but man may go to the "pastic-
ceria" and eat spumoni and gelati
and play cards with his friends.
Italian theaters are found in the diff
ferent sections. Caruso is honored
with theater on the BOwery named
after him. On West Fourteenth
street is another variety theater.
italian vaudeville flourishes in these
homes of art. The bill is quite sim
liar to the American, though only
the Italian language is heard. The
manner of presentation, however.
would astonish and perhaps annoy
an American audience. In the CEN
ter of the footlightS rises a metal
hood. the prompter's box. From the
balcony may be seen the occasional
fiutter of white pages or a hand ris-
ing into view from the box. The
Italian audience is quite undisturbed
by this and even sees nothing amiss
in the copious prompting demanded
by the popular tenor. At the end of
each phrase of his song there is
sibilant gable from the prompter.
which serves as an accompaniment
to the last prolonged note, and, hav-
ing been supplied with the next
phrase. the tenor continues.
Down on Mulberry street, south of
Broome, is relic of early days in
the Bowery colony. Before the
American moving pictures became so
popular the puppet show of the old
country was a favorite inexpensive
amusement. This is the last of the
puppet show. 1t is far removed from
the marionette theaters of the
modern art movement. These are

The play presented here is serial
which continues for an entire season,
and has for it's theme the wars of the
Paladins. The action of each nights
performance is something like this.
Two knights in golden armor, richly
embossed, with iron swords in their
right hands and helmets on their
heads, enter from opposite sides of
the eight foot stage. They -hurl at
each other sonorous Italian phrases
that have all the measured magnifi-
cence of Virgil's "Arma virumque
cano." The lines are all spoken by
one man behind the scenes. One
recognizes the supposed speaker on
the stage by his gestures, two in
number. He thumps his shield and
sword, and takes one step forward
After number of interviews and
soliloquies there is q tournament.
which is a glorious spectacle. A
trumpet sounds "a little off key);
two opponents advance, their visors
down. their shields up. They stand
face to face and fight. Due to some
miscalculation of the operator, one
usually thumps his own shield. They
draw apart, then take flying tackle
from opposite sides of the stage and
meet in the center with a crash like
a bomb in a tinshop. One is knocked
out completely, the victor thumps his
shield, delivers resounding oratioc.
and leaves the stage in a single leap.
The Italian, more completely than
any other immigrant. has brought his
country with him. In these colonies
of Manhattan he is in America, bat

eyes Of the great apes could hardly
be more human than they are, the
eye of the chimpanzee having a mos.
detailed resemblance to the eye OF
the negro. Close Observers of the
living animals have been impressed
with the power to focus both eyes
at once upon a nearby object which
very few simians are capable Of
doing.
Some apes have been credited with
more genuine feeling and affection
than many human types: crying
when spoken harshly to by their
masters and in some cases dying
from what seemed to be a broken
heart
A story of ape affection is that
romantic one in connection with a
man named John Fitzthomas Fitz-
gerald. who. in 1916, had three
monkeys emblazoned on his coat OF
arms. the reason being. 1t appears,
that when this Fitzgerald, who sue
ceeded to the family title of Earl o<
Leinster. was an infant the castle
which was their home caught fire.
The occupants rushed from the
place, entirely forgetting the infant
until the nursery was enveloped in
flames. The shock they received
then was not much less than the one
when they saw on top of one of the
highest turrets the pet ape Of the
household and in its arms the infant.
But the ape took great care OF the
child. returning it to its parents with
all the tenderness OF a nursemaid.
The lack of pronounced racial diff
ference in teeth indicates a unity OF
origin OF mankind, while the differ
ences which separate man from the
gorilla and chimpanzee are less than
those that separate these manlike
apes from the lower order in the
scale. The survival of the fittest
seems to have been the key to the
solution. There was more demand
for brain power than physical, and
those anthropoids that were able to
supply this demand and come up 20

in its incidental qualities, its slangy

Apes Teeth Like Mans

jaw with parallel sides. Then again
the chin in the highest type of man
is not thing that has grown there,
but is caused by a gradual shrinking
or withdrawal of the whole dental
arch. which increased the apparent
protrusion of the chin.
The separating of the tongue
muscle from one single part to sub
divisions in the effort to talk has
perhaps caused the change in the
bite of the upper and lower front
teeth from the forward sloping kind
in the ape to the edge to edge bite
in primitive man. than to the over
bite of the upper teeth in modern
men.
The differences of dentition in the
human races would be small werc
the white races to be eliminated.
With the exception of the size of
the teeth, which is greater in some
of the primitive people, there is but
little variation. The gradual reduc-
tions and losses of certain parts of
the upper and lower molar teeth can
be clearly traced by the particles OF
skulls and teeth that have been gath
cred. There is an inner cusp on the
second and third upper molars which
is very large in the oldest known
man, and. though it is seen in many
savages. it dwindles away in the
higher type and changes from a four
sided to a three sided tooth.
Possible Causes of Change.
The anthropoid ape was practi-
cally tree dweller and lived almost
entirely on fruit. He needed his
strong incisors for the tearing of
rough barks from the fruits. He
needed his large incisors for fighting.
Also the habit of walking on all
fours with the sloping neck of tie
animal afforded room for the mas
sive jaw. Whereas in mans upright
position there is no room for such a
large jaw beneath the erectly placed
head. Also the increase in the size
of the brain and the consequent
crowdins of the jaws in mans un-
born young possibly retarded the
growth force in the teeth.
Man with his ingenious methods
OF attack and defence has not the
great need for such powerful CANNES,
while his more erect incisors are
quite suitable for the tearing of flesh
from the animals killed by weapons
made and thrown by human hands.
Then again the weakness and loss
of resistance to decay in the teeth
of the white man in comparison with
the splendid worries of the savages
is perhaps caused by the change
from coarse foods to the more care
fully prepared. softer and partly di-
gested foods of the civilized man.
Teeth Best Evidence So Far.
The teeth positively give more
minute proof of the connection be-
tween man and the anthropoids
than any other study. What is
known as the Hender middle cusp
on the second and third lower molaIs
is strongly developed in all prehis-
toric apes and men. while it IS
greatly reduced or entirely lost in
most modern white men.
The nose has been cited as another
example Of these changes. Although
il is repuisive to human eyes 1t has
in it all the makings of a human
nose and acquires a downward and
growth of its tip to be trans
formed into a subhuman type. The

means that little Italy must depend

Back to Linnaeus.
In 1859 Linnaeus took all the ami

which he called Primates. But Dar-

in one group which he called Old
World Primates and which included
the anthropoid apes. Emphasis was,
however. laid on the fact that neither
ape, chimpanZee nor man is the
same as the original stock.

"The early bird catches the worm"
is favorite saying at most any
season of the year. 1t might also be
said with equal emphasis and truth
fulness that swatting a fly now
means million flies a little later

Citizens of Franklin are aware of
the fact that the breeding proclivi-
ties of the housef1y are unequalled in
the insect world. For that reason 1t
is good judgment to start swatting
before they have the chance to breed.

and other devices for cutting down
the ranks off the dangerous pests
should find ready sale even this early
