Why Maltese Are Russian

How the maltese cat gained that

is no blue cat indigenous to the island
of Malta. II is said that probably the
eats were brought there in early times
from Russia or Iceland, and the color
being peculiar, these cats were select
ed, or by superior hardness they may
have selected themselves. The Char
treuse monks had blue. ~Iong-haired
cats many years ago.
One authority on cats says that the
cold winters of Russia may be calcu-
lated TO develop blue cats, for it is
sufficiently evident that northern eli
mates have produced most cats Of that
color.
The best white cats with blue eyes
come from India, and some of the best
are brought from Tibet. In crossing

SEE CLOSE KINSHIP
Or nan M GORILLA
Scientists Exhibit Fragments
OF Ancient Jawbones.

New York.-Dr. w. X. Gregory and
DR.. Milo Hellman exhibited to the New
York Academy of Science at the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History re-
Gently these fragments of ancient jaw
bones which belonged, they said, to the
common ancestor of men, gorillas,
chilDpanzees, and other primates, or
else to a very close relative Of that
coniIlon ancestor.
The jawDones belonged to the dry
%opithecus, or forest ape, which lived in
the Siwalik hills In India in miocene
times several million years ago. The
fossils were found for the museum by
Barnum Brown. They have been
studied for more than a year by Doc
tors Gregory and HeIlman and this
announcement was their first publica-
tion of the discovery of evidence that
the dryopithecus was mans and the
gorilla's lineal forefather, or else a first
cousin Of that %forefather.
DTyopithecus was a big ape. about
the size of a gorilla. The evidence that
il is the ancestor, or the closest APP
proach yet known to the ancestor Of
the whole human and ape family, is
based largely on t>e patterns of the
teeth. The elevations and burrows on
the crowns of the teeth follow patterns
Identical with those Of the Neanderthal
and other primitive men, and nearly
Identical with those of Australian
blacks and certain Indians who are the
most primitive of living humans.
Civilized white and yellow men have
lived for so many thousand years on a
diet based on agricultural food that
great alterations in their teeth have
taken place. sc that the cusps and
grooves differ from those of the Mean
derthal teeth.
The seeds of dental trouble for the
human race were sown in the days Off
dryopithecus, IN arguable number of
years ago according to Doctor He'll
man, who pointed out that the eleva-
tons, or cusps, had expanded till they
met Owe h grooves, causing tunnels
which are inherited today by the hui

Have You This Habit?

DAISY NUDGE

MIR. CABOTSON inspired awe
among his subordinates In the
big main office of the City Electric
company, and Daisy Nudge trembled
in her boots when she was assigned to
act as Mr.. Cabotson's special stenog-
rapher. He did not choose to see her
for at least five minutes when she re-
ported the first morning at his desk,
and as the minutes increased she be-
came more nervous. His letters fin
ished, he suddenly asked her whether
she used blue or black ink. Daisy.
feeling at last on firm ground, replied
that she had both kinds of ribbon.
Whereupon Mr.. Cabotson swung round
with the information that he was
sorry to hear that-he always insisted
on black. Daisy had the confused
feeling of having failed a test withoul
quite knowing why, but she also be-
gan TO see wherein lay Mr.. Cabotson's
power to i%ntimidate.
When he passed through the rows
Of clerks In the morning, Daisy no
ticed that he would look at one or an.
other so that a greeting was expected.
and then, when the clerk had his face
all ready to smile, pass by in stony
silence. SO he struck terror into timid
hearts. Another Cabotson method was
to pit n clerk against another. and
so Daisy determined to try a little
competition game on her own account
When another officials stenographeI
left one day. Daisy saw to ii that her
~quickness in taking dictation should
seem very desirable to him. and when
she was asked to fill the vacant posi-
ton. she enjoyed watching Mr.. Ca

lowing another Cabotson method Of
getting in first when a complaint was
imminent, she quickly deprecated the
orn-ou condition of the typewriter
she was using. She did not get a new
machine. but nothing was said about
her hardness.
In short. the office began to see
that 'Cabotson was eating out Of
Daisy Mudge's hand" The spell was
broken. and his prestige was on the
wane. No one bothered when he
