Built Train for Wales.

A letter from Tokio telling of the visit of the prince of Wales empha- sizes that the Japanese know how to do things well. The special train that carried the prince around the country was composed of three coaches which were built especially for his exclusive use. The royal compartments are all upholstered in pure Japanese style, a restful tone of green being the pre- dominant color. The woodwork is mahogany, with panels of silk carry- ing a chrysanthemum design in white and gold.
 The mantelpiece masking the radia- tor at one end of the observation car was made of mahogany imported Into Japan some GO years ago, 1t Is said. Some highly prized wood supplied the material for the writing table in the princes private salon. The third coach was reserved for the members of the reception committee, at the head of which was a prince of the blood, who accompanied the prince of Wales throughout his journey.

Oh. Yes. He Liked It

An Englishman, newly arrived in this country. was taken home to din- her one night by friend. There was corn on the table, and the host, know ing that most Englishmen are not fa- miliar with this vegetable, asked if he liked it.
 "Oh. yes" replied the visitor, ap- parently not wishing to appear dis courteous; "I like it."
 But when the platter of Golden Ban- tam was passed he did not take any.
 "Why," said the host, "I thought you said you liked corn"
 "I do like it." explained the English man; but I don't like 1t well enough to eat it."-Everybody's Magazine.

EASY TO TRACE EVOLUTION
Probably That os the Horse Is the Most Perfect of Which There
 Is Evidence.

There is on record no more perfect example of evolution than the horse. Under the able direction of Prof
 Henry Fairfield Osborn, the distin-
 guished president of the American Museum of Natural History, the great
 est collection of fossil horses In the
 world has been brought together in
 the museum. We have so detailed a
 record that the complete evolution of the horse, from the tiny, f1ve-toed, for est-nving, cretaceous ancestor, to Man O War, the most perfect living horse, is there for all to trace, writes Roy Chapman Andrews, in Asia Magazine
 The horse, we know, originated in
 Wyoming and adjacent parts of the West. At first he was a shy, retiring creature, no larger than terrier, with five toes on feet adapted to the soft, springy ground of the forests. As the wooded area began to decrease in ex- tent, the horse perfOrce changed his habits, becoming more and more plains-living animal dependent upon speed to protect him from enemies. Since his five-toed feet were not adapt ed for swift running on hard ground. the middle toe gradually developed the hoof, and the side digits disappeared, except for the So-caled "splint-bones" in horses as we know them today. The causes that forced the evolution of the horse are in certain respects similar to those that we see effective in hu- man evolution.
 Many theories concerning the evoIu- tion of man have been advanced by eminent scientists. That proposed by the late Prof. Joseph Barrell of Yale university has much to give 1t support.
 Professor Barrell believed that. as the forests decreased and the an thropoid apes could no longer retreat southward because of the great barrier of the Himalaya mountains, they were forced to adapt themselves to a life upon the ground Whether or not they did this from necessity or choice, 1t seems almost sure that the progenitor of man was a ground ape''-a crea- ture living on nuts and roots and, when in danger, running to the trees for safety. AS he gradually lost the shelter of the forest, be had to ac- | quire the means of protecting himself | and of combating the enemies of the l ground This led to a communal life, | hands with an opposed thumb with | which to grip sticks and stones to be used in defense, an erect posture and a foot adapted to swift and sustained | running. These bodily changes, which were of profound importance, must have taken place very slowly-in hun 1reds of thousands of years. The physical adaptations carried with hem a mental development core 'pondingly remarkable. Thus 1t was, says Professor Barrell, that man dI- 7erged from the parent ape-stock.

He said that Frank Silverthorn had sold his interest in the company but admitted that he was still direct Ing the operations or 1h9 plant.

Baked Monkey a DeIicacy.

A hunters paradise is Mexico, and
almost within sight of the capital are
forests that abound with wild game,
offered at all seasons in the Mexico
City markets.
Venison is a staple and wild ducks
and geese may be purchased for few
centavos. Live quail as well as varie-
ties of pheasants and pigeons are sold
on the streets by peddlers. Indians
from the hills frequently trudge to the
city with wild boar, and turkeys may
be had for the price of a paltry tip to
native hunter.
If one is so inclined, a tender
monkey may be procured for Sunday
baking, a dish that Mexican epicures
especially of the tropical regions, rel
ish above all others.
