r MONKEYS OF INDIA.
THE HAVOC THEY CAUSE BY THUR
f T'J WARS FOR WIVES.
I
Utaahable Tactles Employe* by the
r Natives to Disperse the Belll*ereat
Paeke—Little Chai.ee For Mol* Mm
[ keya at Birth.
’ Monkeys in India are an unmitigated
’ nuisance, especially in the country. I
have of tea come arrow in the jungles
, adjoining the villages of northern Ben
gal whole troops of them, whose depre-
* dations in fields and orchards were the
despair of the unfortunate villagers.
These troops always consisted of one
rbugs male and about 100 female* The
I fact is, when a little monkey is born in
the pack, it is suffered to live if a fe
male, but instantly killed by the father
if it happens to be a male. The mother,
however, sometimes manages to hide
the little one until he is able to get
about and then sends him away before
the big male catches sight of him. In
thia way it often happens that indi
vidual males are to be found living by
themselves in single blessedness. Now,
getting tired of solitude after a time
and perhaps believing in union as a
source of strength, these bachelors often
join together and form a pack of their
own—as a sort of club.
Then the fun begins. They want
wives—very naturally. But how are
they to get them? All the female
monkeys of the country belong to the
harem of some big brute or other.
Clearly, the only solution is to attack
such a harem, kill the gotha (the afore
said big brute), and then divide the
spoils. So an ultimatum is sent—and
rejected. War is declared. The battle
is a fierce one and often lasts several
days. The party attacked always tries
to retreat and often traverses several
jungles, fields and even villages. But
the purspit is hot and vigorous, and at
last a stand has to be made—sometimes
in a village green or even an orchard of
some country mansion. In the actual
fight the females generally remain
faithful to their lord and master and
help him fiercely against his numerous
assailants. But the result is a foregone
conclusion, and the several widows,
after a very short period of mourning—
usually manifested by a show of ill
temper—are consoled by the victorious
males.
Now, these battles cause sad havoc to
the fields and orchards of the country
and often prove a positive danger to the
people, for, though monkeys seldom at- i
tack men, woe to the luckless one who
ventures to come near them in their
deadly struggle. Moreover, when pressed
by hunger, these packs are not to be
trifled with. You may not mind even
the damage don* to your orchard by
hundreds of monkeys gobbling up every
thing they can lay their hands on, .but
it is quite a different matter when you
have to shut your doors and windows
and stay in for days ata time because es
the army outside.
Consequently the object of the natives
is to break np these packs by capturing
their leaders. Killing is against the dic
tates of conscience, but capture is not,
especially as. the monkey is liberated in
a short time, as will appear presently.
So, when a pack is about, the natives em
ploy the following method: Close to an
orchard a bit of level space is selected
and a hole dug in it, about 2 feet deep
and 6or 8 inches in diameter. A noose
is made at one end of a long, stout cord
and placed over the mouth of the hole.
The cord is then passed through a pulley
or ring attached to a tree close to the
house and the other end held some dis
tance away by a concealed person. The
noose and about 10 or 15 feet of the
cord are covered with sand. Then a nice,
tempt: ng banana is placed in the hole,
and a number of rotten ones—covered,
however, with fresh skins—are strewn
all over the ground near the hole.
When the pack comes, the females
are too shy to venture out into the open
spaco near the house, but the big gotha
is a brave fellow. He sees the bananas
on the ground, leaps down, takesup one,
throws it away in disgust, then another,
with the same result. Suddenly he no
tices the nice, tempting one in the hole,
and plunges his arm in. Immediately
the cord is pulled, the noose fastened
on the arm close to the shoulder and the
monkey dragged willy nilly to the tree
where the pulley or ring is attached.
Then the hiding shikari comes forth,
and, circling round and round the tree
with the cord held tight in his hand,
binds the unfortunate monkey safe and
fast, all but the head. The pulley or
ring is introduced not merely to bind
the monkey to the tree, but also because
it would be highly dangerous to drag
the infuriated brute right up to a per
son.
The monkey, however, is not killed.
Instead they lather his head and face,
no special care being taken in selecting
the finest soap or the purest water. The
operation is an interesting one and a
source of great amusement—to the by
standers. The monkey, however, dodges
his head about, only to get a good dose
of soap in his eyes and mouth. Then he
has enough of it, especially as he feels
dreadfully achy all over and the cords
cutting into his .body every inch—to
say nothing of the personal remarks and
the highly adjectival language of the
bystanders. He submits to his fate with
eastern atoicism. His head is shaved
clean as a billiard ball, and then the
face as well, nice and smooth, like a
baby’s. Then they let him go. But alas,
such is the vanity of life, his wives
will not have him now that his beauty
is gone. They disown him completely,
cut him dead. Nay, they drive him
away from the pack with contumely,
with the ends of their tails—in the ab
sence of domestic broomsticks. And
thus, being without a leader, the pack
is soon broken up.—Strand Magazine.

Herotoa off Uu FUhermoa.
It ia always with a vague regret tint
we read the sagas, and are thrilled by
the viking’s exploits. It seems as if the
deeds of daring had gone by forever,
and as if the heroes of the deep were a
myth of the past Absorbed in the
Norse romance, w« forget that the vik
ings were only pirates, and that they
dared for slaughter and for booty. If
the Gloucester of today had only existed
then, what heroic saga would it not
have inspired! For to risk life for glory
or riches or rescue or love is in the
heart of every man to do, but to risk
life for a bare existence, for other peo
ple’s profit and for an anonymous end
partakes of that commonplace sublimity
which does not form the favorite plot of
poets, although once in awhile it is the
subject of a daily paragraph.
For the vikings are not dead. From
Portland to New Orleans, our harbors
are full of them. They lounge upon our
wharfs, and we do not recognize them.
They loiter on our streets, and we know
them not But if there is a more mod
est, unconscious, or braver fellow than
Jack the Fisherman, our eyes have yet
to rest upon his face. He is the hardiest
and most daring, the best sailor in the
world today. Any continental kingdom
would give its wealth to possess him for
its defense. He is the envy of every
maritime nation. Has he no value for
us, beyond the halibut and the cod, the
haddock and the cask?—Herbert D.
Ward in Century.
The glebut of the Bowie Kalfe.
To the publio mind duels were really
a necessity. The man who would not
fight "at the drop of a hat and drop it
himself,’* was soon made to feel that he
had very much better not have been
born.
There were progressive duels, too,
from which the popular mind no more
revolted than it does In this era from
progressive whist or etichre. It was one
of them which gave Bowie and his
knife to fame. In sonte way there had
come to be bad blood, wack and bitter,
between him and a Sartain Colonel
Norris Wright After nng bickering,
it was agreed to meet upon the levee
opposite Natchez, Mis*,ea*h with half
a dozen friends, duly armed, and there
shoot the matter out There were a doz
en on each side when it came to fight
ing. The battle was arranged to begin
with threes, the rest standing by, and
coming in only when those of the first
fight were dead or disabled. But they
had miscalculated their own self con
trol. After the first fire there was a
general melee—the reserves to a man
gripped pistols- hard, drew knife belts
to a handy clutch and went into the
combat to do or-die.—Martha McCul
loch-Williams in Harper’s Magazine.
The Climate of the Philippines.
In regard to the climate which a for
eigner encounters it is easy to exagger
ate its discomforts Although it is
tropical, still even in summer the cli
mate may be called healthy. From De
cember to March there are warm dajdt
with cool nights and little rain. Dur
ing March, April and May the days aie
hot, dry and dusty, while the thermom
eter rises to 96 degrees at noon, but the
nights are not uncomfortable. In the
latter part of May and of June there are
thunderstorms every afternoon with a
tremendous downpour of rain. The
greatest heat occurs in these months,
the thermometer rising frequently to
105 degrees in the shade. July, August
and September are the moptfrs of the
great typhoons, and while Manila es
capes the greatest fury of these still
enough of their force remains to demol
ish many houses During October and
November storms lessen in frequency
and severity, and the weather gradual
ly settles into the fine days of Decem
ber.—lsaac M. Elliott in Scribner’s

It is doubtful if any office 4n the
navy, aside from an absolute command,
involves so vast a responsibility as that
of navigator of a man-of-war. The du
ties of this important station in former
yean fell to officers of the rank of mas
ter, but with the abolition of that
grade its affaire devolved upon the
lieutenants holding the highest num
bers on the list Upon the navigator of
a warship depends the task of
shaping the vessel s wirarae for any
point across the seas to which her des
tinies may direct her, but also the re
sponsibility of piloting her in and out
of harbor and of selecting a safeunchor
age for her in every port visited during
the period of her cruise. Hence, it fol
lows that, combined with a thorough
nautioal training, the competent navi
gator must be possessed of a vast fund
of geographical, meteorological and hy
drographical knowledge. While at les,
he must know the vessel’s position to a
degree, which necessitates his taking
frequent observations of the celestial
bodies and making solutions of intricate
problems in geometry and trigonometry,
such as constantly arise through devia
tions, brought about by innumerable
causes, from her given course.
Unquestionably the most important
element in -navigation, because of its
infallibility under ordinary condition*,
in determining the latitude, longitude
and error in the ship’s compass, ia what
is known ,in maritime phraseology aa
"nautical astronomy. ” With the aid of
a sextant or quadrant for measuring the
altitude of the heavenly bodies above
the horizon or their distance from each
other, a timepiece to mark the Instant
of an observation, a chronometer to
show the time at the first meridian, a
nautioal almanac and an azimuth oom
pass, the navigator can readily deter
mine his position with the utmost ex
actitude.
The average voyage is more or less
characterized by erroneous estimates in
distances sailed, in varying currents,
careless steering, deviation in the oom
pass and numerous other obstacles, and
upon the navigator rests the responsi
bility of adjusting such errors. In long
passages across the open aea the navi
gator is governed by a rather complex
combination of motives, which may be
summed up as follows: To cover the re
quired distance in the shortest space of
time with the smallest expenditure of
fuel and the least wear and tear of the
vessel that is possible.
With these objects In view the navi
gator must prior to sailing superintend
personally the stowing of the hold, th*
arrangement of ballast, water, provi
sions, stores, etc., and the inspection
and adjustment of the motive appliances
of the ship, all of Which features, sever
ally and collectively, greatly affect her
speed and seaworthiness.
If his vessel possesses the facilities
for making sail, he must while at sea
exercise the keenest judgment and fore
sight as to utilizing the same, for sail
used to good advantage is a groat saver
of coal, while otherwise, if used indis
criminately, it mag entail much loss of
time. The expert navigator draws the
line with exceeding fineness between a
high fair wind and a gale, making the
most of the former as long as his vessel
is not jeopardized, heaving her to at
just the proper period and getting under
way again at the first sign of moderation
in the weather. The commander of a
warehip reposes the utmost confidence
in a skilled and careful navigator and
rarely interferes with his plans. Anoth
er of the numerous details coming under
the navigator’s supervision is the keep
ing of the ship's log. This iscommenoed
by him at the time the Vessel is placed
in commission, and its pages record the
events of each succeeding day. There is
absolutely nothing which transpires of
ficially on board of a man-of-war that
is not written in the log, and each day
the navigator must carry it to the com
manding officer for his inspection. At
the expiration of every six months the
ship’s log must be closed and forwarded
to the navy department at Washington,
where if is placed among the records.
The navigator is provided with a
large and yaried assortment of instru
ments and appliances designed to facili
tate his wbrk. While in port he is often
detailed to make surveys of portions of
the ooast line which may be defective
upon the charts or to determine the ex
act location of rocks or shoals which
hitherto have not been marked with
sufficient accuracy.
The navigator has charge of all th*
various weather indicators of the vessel
and must render quarterly reports of
all meteorological observation* These
are taken at regular intervals by th*
quartarmaster of the watch and fully
entered upon the ship’s log. The navi
gator must regularly inspect the steer
ing gear, compasses, anchor* and chain
cables of the ship and daily report their
condition to the commanding officer.
He must also keep a separate bookin
which are recorded all calculations re
lating to the navigation of the vessel
and in which no erasures are permitted
to be made. At the expiration of th*
cruise this book is forwarded to tha
bureau of navigation.
The duties of a navigating officer are
more than sufficient to fully occupy his
time, but, notwithstanding this fact,
he frequently stands his watch at sea.
While in port he is ex officio the execu
tive officer during the latter’s sbsanee
from tfje vessel.
