Tweed Reapooulble for the Tlgor.
The origin of the tiger as an em
blem of Tammany is said by W. C.
Montayne, a coffee and spice dealer
in New York, to date from the time
when William M. Tweed, then fore
man of "Big Six” fire company, took
n fancy to a picture of a royal Bengal
tiger in his father s store in the ’50s.
'I weed adopted the emblem for the
Araericus club, and it soon was accept
ed 1 y all Tammany. Tweed had the
tlgn’a head woven in the center of the
pailor cuipet of the Americus club in
its sporty club house at Greenwich,
Conn., and it was painted on the old
hand engine of Big Six.
Pardonable Evasion*.
Some evasions of the inheritance
tax law can hardly be regarded as
wholly unpardonable. General Di
Cesnola, of the New York Metropoli
tan Museum of Art, says that Mr.
Charles R. Curtis informed him some
time ago that he had made provision
in his will for a bequest of $10,000
to the museum. Lately Mr. Curtis
called again and said: "General, 1
don't think I will leave you that $10,
000. 1 will give it to you in cash. The
inheritance tax will take up $1,500 or
$2,000 of It, and you will not get.the
benefit of the whole amount if I leave
it to you in my will.” And he banded
over the cash.

RATES ARE REASONABLE.
A Fa'ne Impre«»lon Corrected — Pan
American Exposition Railroad Fare*
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y„ July 30.—A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the Impression that ap
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex
position are high and that hotel rates
In Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors In its private houses and ho
tels at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
^ for a first-class lodging In a private
house. It was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis
tance, being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip,
from all parts of the country. The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort, are re
membered only so far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the pres
ent half rates are as low as can rea
sonably be expected. An extension of
the present limit has been looked for,
as It gives too short a time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub
lishers’ association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is com
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are well
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A Joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a free
V bureau of Information for the conve
nience of intending visitors.

Our Monkey ;i
Kinship
-
Mtvny F&clt Susl&in
the D&rwini&n
Theory
A series of careful experiments with
monkeys Las recently been conducted
by Professor Edward L. Thorndike to
ascertain the power and process by
which these animals acquire knowl
edge. He has reached the conclusion
that there is no warrant for the pop
ular idea that monkeys and other ani
mals learn from human example and
hy the processes followed by man. But,
the experimenter says, the fact that
monkeys do not possess the human
types of ideas must not be taken as
evidence that they are no nearer rela
tives to us mentally than are the other
lower animals. On the contrary, they
occupy an intermediate position in
every main psychological feature be
tween mammals in general and the hu
man species. The essentials in an In
ventory of an animal's mental capaci
ties are its sense powers, the kinds of
movements it can make and their deli
cacy, complexity and number, its in
stincts or the sum of those tendencies
to feel and act which it has apart from
experience or learning and its method
of learning or of modifying its be
havior to suit the multitudinous cir
cumstances of life. In each of these
respects the monkeys show kinship
with man. In their motor equipment
monkeys possess first of all the muscu
lar coordinations necessary to sustain
an upright position and consequently
the use of the forelimbs. The move
ments of these forelimbs are more in
number and suited to more complex
and varied tasks than are those of
lower animals. The attractiveness of
the monkey cage in a zoological gar
den is largely due to the similarity of
the monkeys' movements and our own.
The monkey not only has a body like
a man’s, but he also uses it like a man.
Our native tendencies are so metamor
phosed by the education of a civilized
environment that in adult age they
seldom apppar In recognizable form.
But if we take human beings at from
G months to 3 years of age or later we
find plenty of traits that appear in the
monkeys. In fact, the human instinct
which is perhaps of prime importance
in human mentality, the instinct which
perhaps is the real cause of many of
our most boasted powers, has its clear
prototype and homologue in the monk
ey. I refer to the instinctive enjoy
ment of physical and mental activity
in general, to the tendency to act and
feel as much as possible, regardless
of any ulterior practical considera
tions, which we sometimes call de
structiveness or constructiveness and
curiosity. Even the casual observer,
if he has any psychological insight,
will be struck by the general, aimless,
intrinsically valuable (to the animal’s
feelings) physical activities 01 a monk
ey compared with the specialized,
definitely aroused, utilitarian activities
of a dog or cat. Watch the latter and
he does but few things, does them in
response to obvious sense presenta
tions, does them with practical conse
quences of food, sex Indulgence, prep
aration for adult battles, etc. if noth
ing that appeals to his special organ
ization comes up he does nothing.
Watch a monkey and you cannot enu
merate the thing he does, cannot dis
cover the stimuli to which he reacts,
cannot conceive the raison d'etre of his
pursuits. Everything appeals to him.
He likes to be active for the sake of
activity. The observer who has prop
er opportunities and takes proper
pains will find this intrinsic Interest to
hold true of mental activity as well.
Finally, In their method of learning,
although monkeys do not reach the
human stage of a rich life of ideas, yet
they carry the animal method of learn-'
ingbythe selection of impulses and as
sociation of them with the different
sense impressions, to a point beyond
that reached by any other of the lower
animals. In this, too, they resemble
man, for he differs from the lower an
imals not only in the possession of a
new sort of intelligence, but also in
the tremendous extension of that sort
of which he lias in common with them.
A fish learns slow a few simple habits.
Many learns quickly any infinitude of
habits that may be highly complex.
Dogs and cats learn more than the fish,
while monkeys learn more than they.
In the number of things he loarns, the
complex habits he can form the va
riety of lines along which he can learn
them and in their permanence when
once formed the monkey justifies his
inclusion with man in a separate men
tal genus.—Chicago Chronicle.

First, the model is covered with a
thick layer of pasteboard in a moist
state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is
passed around it so as to separate the
pasteboard coat into two hemispher
ical shells, which are then taken off
the model and united at the cut edges
with glue. The hollow sphere thus
formed is the skeleton of the globe
that is to be.
The next thing is to cover it with a
coating of white enamel, about one
eighth of an inch in thickness. When
this is done the ball is turned into a
perfect roundness by a machine. The
iron rod running through the center
of the original model, and projecting
at both ends through the surface, has
left holes in the new globe, which
serve for the north and south poles,
and through these a metal axis is run
to represent the axis of the earth.
Then the surface is marked off with
pencil lines into mathematical seg
ments corresponding precisely in
shape with the sections of map that
are to be pasted on. These map sec
tio'ns are made from copper plates in
just the size and shape required to fit
the globe that they are intended for,
one set, of course, covering the entire
spherical surface. They are printed,
many of them, like dress patterns, on
sheets of the finest linen paper, and
are cut out carefully with a sharp
pointed knife.
When they nave been pasted on, the
different countries are tinted by hand
with water colors. There is no spe
cial rule for this, except that contrasts
are aimed at as a help to the eye of
the user. Finally, the whole is over
laid with a brilliant white varnish,
which is of almost metallic hardness,
and will wear indefinitely without
scratching or losing its brightness.
Scientific Jottings
For several years the various com
panies have been endeavoring to se
cure rails of a harder quality, the
heavy modern locomotives and steel
cars frequently breaking down the or
dinary rati. The American Society of
Civil Engineers has been investigating
the resistance strength of steel rails,
and the tests made by this body have
fully demonstrated the fact that the
softness In steel rails is due to the
method of rolling rather than to any
defect in the composition of the steel.
The English pheasant is a non
aquatic bird, therefore an English
scientist’s observation that newly
hatched birds of the age of 30 hours
swim easily, show apt leg movements
and exhibit few signs of distress is of
singular interest. The question is now
asked, Is the swimming habit a throw
back or reversion to an antecedent
state in the history of this land-living
species, or is it to be regarded as an
example of a direct and sudden adapta
tion to a new environment? The ques
tion has an important bearing on cer
tain obvious biological problems.
Speculations regarding the age of the
world we live in are of strictly rela
tive natine. They require to be con
sidered in relation to many other cir
cumstances, whereof the cooling of the
globe la one and the time occupied in
the formation of strata another. The
battle between the physicists and the
geologists over this latter question still
proceeds. The former incline to set a
definite limit to the geological aeons;
the latter decline to be hound by such
restrictions. A member of a British
royal scientific association asserts that
certain recent speculations on this
head tend to overtop even the amount
•i years which the geologists them
selves have formulated as requisite for
the operation of the forces that have
sculptured the world—forces that are
still operating in the shape of rain,
frost, ice, rivers, the sea and the move
ments of the crust which take origin
from the internal heat of our globe.
“When wre read of many millions of
years being estimated as necessary for
the development of the coal period
alone,” says this authority, “we may
well refuse to follow the speculations
thus advanced.”
Land Oat of Poa.
Holland proposes to close the Zuy
der Zee by a dike running from the
north Holland coast to the island of
Wierlng and thence to the Frisian
coast, and to drain parts of the closed
sea. The initial plan involves the re
covery in eighteen years of 114,901%
acres of fertile land. The railway dis
tance between the provinces of North
Holland and Friesland will be short
ened by thirty-one miles. The indem
nity to be paid to the Zuyder Zee fish
ermen is estimated at $1,809,000. The
total cost is estimated at $38,190,000.
The entire plan will take from thirty
to thirty-five years to complete, and
some 500,000 acres will be reclaimed,
valued at $160,000,000.

Tremendous Bridge Traffic.
Twenty years ago it was estimated
that 200,000 persons crossed London
bridge daily, 130,000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles. With the growth of
population these numbers have almost
doubled, in spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the tower bridge,
half a mile downstream. It has there
fore become an urgent matter to in
crease the capacity of the older bridge,
and it has now been decided to ac
complish this by means of granite
corbels which will carry the footway
as projections over the water on each
side of the bridge.

Persons desiring to take salt-water
baths at home should first learn the
quantity of salt to use in the tubs,
Victor Smith suggests. An ordinary
bath contains from ninety to 100 gal
lons of water, into which a thoughtless
,person will dissolve a pint or two ot'
sea salt, so-called, and Imagine him
self disporting in the ocean. If he
followed nature he would use twenty
'flve or thirty pounds of sa't to the loo
gallons, and this, if purified, would
cost him 70 cenLs. He would have
about four baths to each 700 pounds of
salt.

the land, and will plant but 100 acres
this season, as It is now rather late
to begin the preparation of the

side of his bed and could have seen
them by stepping forward two or three
feet. The attestation and subscription
of the will under these circumstances
