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. "

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.

Smokeless Powder Inventor Now
Plans to Lengthen Life.
, TO USE CHLORINE SOLUTION ,
Believes Ho Can Torce It by Electricity
Throuoli All Parts of Dody Dentil

Killing Disease Qerms Features ol
Hit Device.
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. ( hat at the present
time It Is In oinlir.No , but'II Is none thu
less , lo my mind , perfectly practical.
"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.

this story of a very light mulatto-oC

time , although ho associated with the
white men , he began to be lonesome.
"It grew colder and colder , " bo said.
