Bravery and Lbmniim
Cowardice Is often ignorance. Are
any men brave, mot- ready to take
their lives In their hands, to reckon
aeaiu as one or the dally encounters,
than the deep-sea fishermen t Vet a
group of these men, brought to Lon
don by one of their missionaries, have
been seen too terrified to cross the
street The police had to atop the
Ira flic to allow them to cross. The
quick, juarrelsome, fearless Cockneys
who laughed at them how would they
feel in a freeilug storm In the North
Sea? A spider may terrify the most
courageous women and a V. C. shrink
from a cat. Every hero has his weak
ness, and we may believe every cow
ard has a point where bs comes to
bay and will figbt the world.

FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS' BYES.
Confirmation of Darwin Theory that
Man Is Closely Belated to Primates.
For some years past the eminent
British ophthalmologist. Dr. Lindsay
Johnson, has been Investigating the
eyes of animals, and has made some
valuable discoveries of great Interest
to zoology and our knowledge ot the
evolution of various animals. Ons of
the most rems kable of these
searches is a confirmation of Dar
win's theory that man is closely re
lated to ths primates. From his In
vestlgatlons Dr. Johnson has found
that ths ayes t-t all the apes. Includ
ing man, are practically Identical.
