MONSIEUR TARSIER.
He Is Dgclared to Be the Great-
Grandfather of Man.
Becomes American Property Through
the Acquisition of the Philippine-s
—Pecuuar Habits of the '
Strange Creature.
Aldng with Tagals, Ygorottes and
other queer human beings Uncle Sam
has annexed in the Philippine islands is
the, tarsier, an animal which is now
declared to be the great-grandfather of
man. .
' The tursier is the ancestor of the
common monkey, who is the ancestor
of the anthropoid ape, who is the ances- 9
tor of man.
A real Tarsier will soon make his ap-
pearance at the National Zoological
pa1k. His arrival is awaited with in-
tense in 1e1est
M. Ta1sie‘r is a. very gifted animal.
He. derives his name from the enor-
mous development of the tarsus 01
ankle bones of his legs. His eyes are
enormous, so that he can see in the
dark. They even cause him to be called
a ghost. His fingers and toes are pro—
'vided with large pads, which enable
him to hold on to almost. anything.
Prof. Hubrecht, of the University oi
Utrecht, has lately discovered that M.
Tarsier is no less a. personage than
a “link” connecting Grandfather
Mon-key with his ancestors. Thus the
evolutionary scale would be changed
by Prof. Hubrecht to. run: Man, ape,
monkey, tarsiei‘, and so on, tarsierap
pca1ing as w hat may be popularly
termed the g.-1eat glandi'ather of man—
kind.
Tarsier may best be described. as hav-
ing a face like an owl and. a. body, limbs
and tail like those of a. monkey. His
sitting height is about. that of a squir-
rel. As his enormous optics would lead

night and sleeps in the daytime, con-
cealed usuall in abandoned clearings,
where new growth has sprung up to a
height of 20 feet or more. Very often
he sleeps in a standing posture, grasp-
ing the low er stem of a small tree with
his long and slender fingeis and toes.
During his nightly w andeiings he 11t~

During the day the pupils of his eyes

The PI ilippine natives call the iitlie

a report just iece-ixcd at the Smith-

then slowly bend forward, and, with
a sudden da-sh, would seize the insect-
with both hands and instantly carry
it to its mouth, shutting its: eyes' and
screwing up its tiny face in a most
whimsical fashion. The grasshopper
was then quickly passed through the
sharp little teeth. the kicking leg-she-
ing held with both hands.
“W hen the insect“ as beyond furl heri
mischief the large eyes of the tarsier
would- open and the legs and wings
were then bitten oif. while the rest
of 1 he- body was'thoroughly masticated.
My captive would also dtrink fresh
milk from a spoon. After the sun hari'
set this little animal became moist dif.
ficult to manage, escaping when pus~
sible and making tremendous jumps
from chair to «their. When on the
floor it bounded. about like a minia-
ture kangaroo, traveling about the

Facts About Eu.r-\Vngginc.
Only animals with long and drooping
cars are able to wag them. A rabbit,
for instance, can do what it likes with
its ears, drooping one or both, andvlay-
ing‘ them flat along its back when dash-
ing through thick cover. Hares are still
more brisk in ear' movements. But
short-cared beasts. like weasels and
stoats, are unable to wag their ears in
any degree although they have enough
ear to wag if they had the power.

The g1 cute-st fox chase of wih ch there

her companion, D011, together with Jim

dropped out of the run, leaving Queen
to keep up the chase alone. All night
long she followed the trail, and along
toward morning was joined by some

out rest, the entire. 36 hours consumed
in the chase. She stopped only when
she had run rcynard to cover. After
she had accomplished this she lay down
and guarded the burrow, and when

PORTO RICO SCHOOLS.
Revised Course of Instruction Pre-
pared—School the Entire Your.
WASHINGTON, April 22.——In a report
to the secretary of war Dr. Victor S.
Clark, subdirector of public instruction
.n Porto Rico, says that only $50 a.
month can be offered to American
teachers, with transportation to the is-
land from New York. The English
speaking supervisors are men, and
through them it is hoped to weed out
abuses and develop some system of con-
trol. Dr. Clark has prepared a revised
course of study, containing only such
subjects as are taught in American
Schools. '
As understood in this country, there
Is no system of higher education in
Porto Rico. No school on the island af-
fords adequate preparation for Ameri-
can college work. There are normal in-
stitutes'for boys and girls. The public
schools are kept open 12 months in the
year and six days in the week. In sum-
mer only morning sessions are held,
There 'is, no coeducation of the sexes.
N0 schoolhouses exist. on the island,
the schools usually being held at the
residences of the teachers. Only a part
of the pupils have text books. In many
eases the pupils take to the schools the
chairs which they occupy. The pupils
study aloud. About 525 schools are re—
ported in the island, and a. little over
$300,000 is annually paid for their sup-
port. A great desire is manifested to
learn English. New text books are be-
ing published in this country to re—
place the Spanish books now in use. A
pedagogical museum and American li-
brary has been established at San Juan.
