MAN AND THE APES.
And the Anatomical Flaws In the
Theory of Evolution.
Ur. Msttoou M. Curtis, professor of
philosophy lit Western Reserve univer
sity. protests in a letter to Science
against the assertion, still common in
current scientific literature, that man
Is a descendant of the anthro|>oid a|K*s.
tie quotes Professor Duckworth, the
leading authority in this field, who
wrote in bis “Morphology and Anthro
pology:"
"We must conclude that the exist
ing anthropoid apes, constituted us
they now ure. did not figure In the
ahcestral history of man."
And h^ points out some of the fnu
daiueuial differences betjveen man and
the apes, differences which defy un.v
theory of evolution to explain. Among
these diucri-iu cs are those in the form
of the sknils, the shape of the most
ancient skulls that have been found
being, substantially the same as the
shape of the skulls of today.
Professor Curtis pleuds that sound
science and sound education be based
upon actual facts and sH«-b theories aa
grow out or tliem rather than upon
mere speculations.
Cut the $hip In Two.
“1 was a passenger on one of the
old fashioned sailing steumers going
from London to Australia In 1888.'
said a traveler, “lu the Red sea we
ran plump into a vessel, and our boat
cut It entirely In two. so neatly that It
might almost have been done with a
huge knife. We went dean through
her, and the men on the vessel struck
stepped from the two halves of that
ship on to our deck, The Injured ves
sel went down wit bin a few minutes
after It had been struck. The thing
was so strange thnt when the captain
of the vessel we had struck went back
to London an investigation was held
and it was substantially proved that
the officers had with design got In the
Immediate track of our vessel In orrtet
to bring about a collision In the hope
that t,hey could collect Insurance mon

cers were punished by imprisonment.''

Linnaeus gave the post of honor to the
eagles because of their kingly quality
of rapacity. The eagles were then de
