Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs. The gorilla niul clilmpanr.oe. which | belong to the higher order of apes , have many points of resemblance to man , hut there Is oue thins they can not do that Is , twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb Is short and ' does not reach much beyond the bottom tom of the first joint of the forefinger , i It Is very much restricted In Its move ments , and the nnluial can neither I twiddle his thumbs nor turn them | round so that the tips describe a clrclo. i There are the same number of hones In | the hand of n gorilla ns In the hand of u man , hut the thumbs of the monkey have no separate flexor or bending muscle. This Is why n monkey always ' lccp ; < ) the thumb on the same sldo as ' the fingers and never bonds It round i any object that may he grasped. Iu , the gorilla tiie web between the fingers extends to the second joint , the lingers j taper to the tips , and there Is n calios- ' Ity on the knuckles on which the anl- , mal rests when walking on all fours. i Fickleness In Penmanship. Speaking of check signatures and for wry , n downtown paying teller remarked - . marked : "One of the most peculiar points In our business Is ono little com- J prehomled by the public. I mean tbo embarrassment caused by the man who o signature Is seldom the same.-or nearly so. two weeks In succession. "This fickleness is not Intentional. It Is In almost every case temperamen tal. The man guilty of It Is generally nervous and not Infrequently Is greatly ( lacking In stability of character. At times you , as a layman , would hardly believe It possible that his signature oa two different checks was the work of the same hand. "Of course we come to know these cases In time , and there are always certain characteristics In a person's handwriting uhlch the expert can de tect and \\hh-h go far to convince. Nevertheless the changeable signature Is a nuisance and Involves an added peril. " New York Globe. How Men nnd Women Face Death. How do men and women face death when the t-ontonro Is pronounced by the doctor ? A medical man tells us his experience. Toll the man of higher' type and greater Intelligence , he says , that he Is facing death and he begins to fight , demands a consultation , talks iiboiit going to specialists and fights grimly to the finish. Tell n woman the same facts , and she lies back to await her fate. All women are fatal- l.jts. On the other hand , tell n man that he has ono chance In a thousand to recover if ho will undergo an opera tion , nnd ho will trust to his own ctnuigth nnd endurance rather than undergo the Knife. The woman will choose the thousandth chance nnd sub mit to the operation with astounding calmness. Woman's Life. Cut Heeds. The Liverpool I'ost bus been making oliM'rvallon * ulih regard to the "cut h > 'als" which are treated at the bos- p'Mls ' between 12 and 2 a. in. The Post says Unit the IIOUFO siirgeons hive noticed a cmlous difference In the ? e-os 0:1 : different nights. On Sat urday nights the subjects are mostly men v. ho have received their wages , redeemed their clothes from pawn and drunk enough to lead to a brawl. Mon day night , however , is "ladles' night. " The men have gone lo work , and the wives have taken their husbands' best and only suit lo the pawnshop , and tlei : : It Is their turn to drink the pro ceeds and cut one another's heads. The usual answer to the question "Who did it ? " Is , "Another lady wet lives In the same 'ouso. " Married Paupers and Divorce. "An odd thing about married paupers Is that they like to live separate , " said a single pauper. "Yon know how aluishousos arc ar ranged. There's a meiiV ) ward , a wom en's ward and a mired or married ward. Well , tiie mixed ward Is always nearly empty. Not that we lack mar ried paupers. Oh , no. 1'ut the bus- banda prefer to bachelor It among the men and'he ( wives to old maid it among the women. The older our mar ried paupers get the more vehement Is their Insistence on separate living. " T ho's allus a-naggin' , ' the octogena rian will growl. " 'Nobody can't sleep o' nights with Foch suorln' as hlsn , ' sniffs the septua genarian female. "And so they separate to all intents divorced. " Philadelphia Bulletin. Expensive. "No ; I've decided never to accept friendly advlco any more. " "Why not ? It ' doesn't cost you any- thing. " "Well , I've found out that It almost In variably costs you your friends. " llxchange. An Odd Legacy. Thomas Jefferson , the founiJerof the Jefferson family of actors , was remembered - momborod curiously in the will of Werton. who was himself an esteemed member of Ganlck's company. Wes- ton's will contained this Item : "I have played under the manage ment of Mr. Jcffcrt.011 . at Itlclnnoiul and received from him every polite- nc'.s. I therefore Icavo him all my stock of prudence. It being the only good quality I think ho stands In need of. " Not So Blind. "Miranda , 1 want to ask you to mar ry me and to tell me" "Oh. fJeorge , this Is so sudden ! " "to tell me what date you nnd your mother have decided on for our wed- dins" Brooklyn Life.

Hudson Maxim , Inveiilor of ( ho max- Imltu smokeless powder , hlgb oxfilo- wives and torpedoes which nre the ulost powerful Ill'o destroying ngt'iils In the hlfitory of the world , ban suddenly turned his line of effort from the Hold of death and Is working assiduously along lines entirely opposite. His pres ent efforts nro being iluvolud to the porfectlon of a device ( lint \\lll cure all ( INonso wllli n solution of chlorine passed ( hnnigh the human body by the aid of oleilrlclly. Already drawings of the cabinet In \\hlcli \ the treatment Is to bo admlnls- . tered have been tiled in the palont of- lice sit Washington , nnd the great in ventor e.\iocts | soon to be granted bis patent. AH Hint lie Is now looking for Is the proper electric current one that bus a higher potential than any hereto fore U"etl safely on the hiiinnn body. The great Imcnlor was MTU at his villa. RliiiMled plctiirc < iiucly on the shore of Lake Hopalcong , New Jersey. "I en u hardly explain , " ho said to a reporter of the New York American , "how I tinned from the nianufneluru of Instruments of death to the Inven- linn of something that will prolong 1m- man life. Tie scon Hie success of one , and perhaps I am llred of Unit and tlo- sire Miimellilng new. I have gieat fallli In my nowesi idea and hope that It will become n practical part of life , and before long too I wish to say fnud.ly. linwo\or.

"A good deal of experimenting has already been done by different medical men with high potential electric cur rents , bolli for the direct gcrmlcldal In- lluence of the eleclrlclly itself and also for the purpose of passing remedial agenls Into the tissues but no grcal success has yet been attained. "My Idea Is to use electric currents of very much higher potential than heretofore. Of course the amperagu of the current need not be groat. ' "Ai well known process of making ohlonile of sodium and chlorate of pot ash Is by passing chlorine out of solu tion through a partition Impervious to the How of a liquid , but previous to the passage of the molecules of chlo rine mi'ler the Inllnenee of the electric current , so Unit ( he potash solution on iccelvlng the chlorine through the Im pervious partition Is converted into chlorate of potash. "My Idea Is to Interpose the human body as n portion of .such partition and to pass chlorine , or an equivalent rein- edi.il agent , through the human body by means of a veiy high potential electric current of low amperage. " "Then do you claim prolonged llfo for inanl.indV" was asked. . , ' 'Hy killing the disease germs In a man's body you naturally lengthen his life , " responded the inventor. "P.ut do you claim or expect that you can prolong life indetinltely'/1 persist- e 1 the Interviewer. "No , " quickly answered Mr. Maxim , "because death Is ns much n part of life as is birth. Life can only be pro longed In the human body to n certain point. If my device proves successful we bliall be able lo do what Hob In- gersoll said be would do If ho was CJocl Almighty 'make good health catch- ' ' Ing. ' " At the request of the reporter Mr. Maxim made a diagram of his new device. It will be a cabinet of con siderable sl/.o and will be divided Into three parts. On either side will bo tanks. One will hold an alkaline so lution , while ihe other will contain a solution of chlorine. In the compart ment between these two , wherein will sit the patient under treatment , will lie another solution , which Is the se cret of the whole thing. Its nature the Inventor refused lo make known. In the two outer compartments nro powerful electrodes , and by the elec tricity as the agent ( ho chemicals from the various solutions will bo passed through the body. The imiin Idea is to Interpose the human body as a part of the dia phragm , In electro osmosis , or catapho- rests , and In this way force the germ killing chemicals Into and through the human tissues , lymph and blood.
