TTza.-'. -t 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. AT THE HENPECK CLUB |jc> WimSi X Mr. Pewee —Do you ever quarrel with your wife?

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.” MORE USE FOR THE TONGUE.
