MONKEY HAS LITTLE BRAIN
Keeper, After Many Years of Associa
tion With Them, Fully Conversant
of Their Limitations.
The recent dOath of George Mans
bridge, head keeper of the apes and
monkeys at the London zoo, has led
to the publication of his views re
garding our nearest animal kin —ob-
viously the views of an expert, as he
had spent thirty-four years with the
zoo monkeys. Mansbridge was more
or less well known to scientists
through his association with the late
Professor Romanes during the lat
ter’s efforts to get some new light
on the mental equipment of apes.
They succeeded in teaching one of
Manabridge’s charges to count up to
five, without the use of any trick
sign. They also educated the same
animal so that she could tell the
difference between white and any
other color, but beyond this distinc
tion her color sense did not go.
Mansbridge himself taught his apes
many simple tricks. One of the
most striking of these was the feed
ing of one orang by another. Al
though these animals are very greedy,
one of them, when handed a cup of
milk and a spoon, and told to feed
his sister, would do so until the
keeper gave him permission to help
himself. Mansbridge was unusually
successful in handling his monkeys,
and could do very much as he liked
with the younger ones. He believed,
however, that as they grew older
their nature changed and they be
came treacherous and dangerous. He
had comparatively little control of
his grown-up apes, and admitted his
fear of the two large orangs in the
800.

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
Vera Cruz, the principal seaport
of Mexico, off which the United
States fleet now lies, has figured
often and disastrously in Mexican
history. The town itself marks the
spot where the Spanish conqueror
•Cortes landed on Good Friday, 1619,
and the old citadel of San Juan de
Ulloa has three times within the past
century been compelled to yield to
a foreign invader —to the French in
1838, to the United States general,
Scott, in 1847, and to the French
again in 1862. Vera Cruz is a well
built and picturesque town, but its
history and the ravages of yellow
lever have gained it the sinister
nickname “The City of the Dead.”
