j'S. DtNisiiiore, the "captain," an he
w oftentr cullfl, is nn important person
age in the White Hunse eeutioray. The
charge eoimnitt'.'d to him in no liht oti.
The life of .the president of the United
States, while not as thorny an that of the
Rnsisiuu vz;it, "wotildn't he worth a row
of frobt bitten pech tn-es if one or two
of the people who think they hv
grudge nK.ii:it hint could get Vtilhin
rangu'of the president. Hardly a week
piifes hut threatening letters are re
ceived from cranks and jiersoiis who
breathe out intimidations and promise
swift Vengeance. Those are at ou
made Captain IVnsuiore's propi rty. If
the crank is from Washington he pen-f-rally
kn.-.ws hira; if cot, ho swrn makes
hiniw-'if ejuaitiUil with the needed in
forinati'in. Densiuore seems to know
cranks by instinct, and none cet further
than the door or the vestibules. Then
he coaxes and manages till the crauk or
tho hitter person with a wrong in his
eye leaves, sends in a card or writes a
note, which never reaches the president,
who is thus left with but little knowl
et ji of the annoyances and dangers at
tending him daily.
WHITE HolBE GUARDS.
The White House, during Hayes ad
ministration, found its guard demoral
ized. Deusmore, who was a marked
man by this time, was sent for. He re
signed from the pohce force and went to
assist in guarding the lives of presidents.
From that time on he has Wn at the
mansion almost continually. During
Cleveland's administration he resigned
and went to Massaehrwtts to Ijok after
the interests of a Fitrhburg firm. Dur
ing that time be took np a residence in
the I5ay State, whtre he is still a voter.
When Harrison came to Washington
before the inauguration Mr. Densmore
was Kent fur and requested to assume
charge of President Harrison, just as he
had of Cleveland at bis inauguration.
Although still in the employ of the
Fitchhurj house, be consented to re
main nil the inauguration was over.
Prior to March 4 the life of the president-elect
is a matter of solicitude, and
every danger U guarded against. 5one,
Dot even the hotel servants, is allowed
to enter the president's apartments until
Densmore has looked him over and pro
nounced him harmless. After the inau
guration the captain remained as guest
and guide for a few days, and later, at
the urgent reonest of the family, he as
sumed his old position as chief guardian
of the president's life and the rampart
between the family and an envious pub
lic. When the president leaves his office
for a public reception in the Eaat room
the tall man is .'lose at his side. He has
looked over all tiie people, aud satisfied
himself there is no suspicions characters
in the houm. Then he tills np one pocket
with a beautiful pistol, and the crowd
files singly cither brtwoen him ar.d the
president, to whom he performs the in
troductions, or by hiio first, and then
the president, as they stand side by side.
A CONSTANT WATCH.
Densmore baa his eye on every one; on
hssds for subclass aovcmcct-i, and on
faces for any token of danger, wkilo on
the other side of the line is another
guard who keeps bis eyes open also, and
the president takes It all without a wink.
Sometimes queer things happen at re
ceptions, and people seem to think Cap
tain Densmore mnet be some pdative or
at least a high ofllcluL One old man
got out the d'r after seeing the presi
dent, came back, aud insisted on shaking
the .'ee president's hand.
Iiiil diataly after inangtiration, and
during the first two years of an adminis
tration. i pridnt' life is always held
to be in greatest danger.
Captain Densmore himself is not on
station at night at the house, but is in
rttHrir of all rrs.!'2"rner!!a, and is par
ticular that the most muscular men
shall le at the door. For the man who
sees that the president's sleep is undis
tnrbed he has picked out the strongi-st
and finent specimen of manhood on the
Washington police force.
In the grouniU the watchmen are un
der his eye, and the night men have
learned that it doesn't do to neglect
duty or run chances by taking a nap,
for Captain Densmore is as likely to be
Lauding under the shadow of a tme at
midnight or to walk into the little guard
house at o'clock a. in., as he is to be on
hand promptly at 9 the next morning
for the first caller.
Outside the gronndsheis not supposed
to attend the president unless requested.
It has btn his c us Cum, however, to act
as escorts to trains and be on hand for
the president's arrival. Since Garfield's
death the captain has never failed in
this, because he feels that if, as had
been bis habit previously, he had only
gone to the station with Garfield Ouiteao
could never have shot the president.

For Dr. Cmis Robiiie . .

the ape in the balm. It was inhler to
obtain rome detailed information on this
subject from the author of "Darwinism
in the Nursery' that our representative
had culled on Dr. Robinson at, Lewis
ham: '
"The article is intensely interesting."
1 said to the doctor, "but there is not
enough of it. We nil want to know more
alsmt your experiments with the ycuuo.
apes. What are the actual discoveries
your exieriineuts led to?"
"Simply this, that every new born
child, unless it is sickly or otherwise im
perfectly deV..i.ll-d, has a lllimt wonder
ful power in tlie itexur muscles of the
forearm, and will support the whole
weight of its Is ily, during the firt few
hours after hinli, for a ricsl varying
from ten secoiiils to two minutes an 1 a
half. Now, everybody knows that in
monkeys the power of grip is very fully

cases of danger tins nvtr is a child

experimented ou 150 babies; some ol
them an hour or two, souie a few days
old aud In two cases only have they
failed to hang by th ir hands, even tlie
tiniest supporting the. weight of its body
for ten seconds, nio-t of them much
longi-r, and in a few cases they i,iYV
cluug to a finger or a stii.-k fur two min
utes and a half. And even in the two
cases failure wasdue toother causes than
the infants' lack of muscular strength.
I ought to say that I never attempted to
experiment on weak children, who
might lw injured by the exjs.snre. A
blanket Was placed below the child, so
that when it dropped it dropped on a
soft, warm surface. Whenever it was
pmsible the exieriment was made snd
the photograph taken in the presence ol
lb mother,
"On the face of one, aged sixty min

looked energetic, though il,w id. as they
stuck with their round little fists to a
branch at the end of which apjwared two
bandit, looking very gigantic in com
parison to the very youthful performers.
Some others were evidently expressing
their feelings in the Simian tongue, for
their mouths tremendous sired mouths
they seemed were wide open. The
miniature legs, absurdly small in pro
portion to the arms, were drawn cp; the
babes looked indeed like tailleea infant
apes.
"Observe the big toe," Dr. Robinson
went on. "I have noticed over and over
again that in the case of young infanta
it is turned outward, like a thumb, as in
th case of monkeys, whose hind feet are
an additional pair of hands. And when
ever I have held a finger or a stick clone
to the infant's feet while it was banging
by its arms there has been an attempt
at clutching the stick with the feet This
seems to me another instance of the sur
vival of the ape's instincts in the human
child.
"Another curious fact that struck me
was that even when a child bad been
hanging by its hands for over a minute
this seems a short period, but Jnst try
to bang to a horizontal bar, supporting
the weight of your body by your hands
only, for a minute or two it let go more
because it wanted to change its position
than because ft was tired. Sometimes I
gave it my finger to clutch as soon as it
dropped oa ta the blanket, and I could
feel by the energetic grip that the little
animal was by no means exhansted."

presentation impressed certain mem
