APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER
Said to Be Impossible to Fool Anlmala
of Siam With Any Counter
feit Money.
The people of Siam ore very fond
of keeping monkeys of various kind*
as pets. Owing to llielr close assocf- j
ntion with human beings, these crea
ture become very Intelligent.
One ol Hie- most remarkable tilings'
that tlii- •• monkeys can do ts to test ;
money. In Siam there is a large
amount of counterfeit money, perhaps
mote limn in any other country in the :
world. As a consequence, the lot of j
the nien-lmnt is a difficult one. They ;
I vi however, surmounted the trou
ble to a large extent by muklng use
jof ape- to test the coins. .Sitting by
tin- side of eaeli merchant Is to be
~oen a hidcmn-faced ape. Every piece
of money handed to his master Is at
once given to the ape. The animal
tests the coin with Ills teeth. If It
is good, he throws It into the money
box if it lie bud he tllngs it to the
ground.
The strange part about the busl
ne -j is that no white person bus yet
been abb- to discover how the apes
tell tiie good money from the hud. The
merchants politely refuse to explain
how the creatures are trained to carry
out tills useful office. The only sure
thing about the affair Is that the apes
never make a mistake.
STATUES THAT HOLD SPIRITS
Buddhists Firmly Believe That Souls
of Long Departed Bages Ar*
Present in Images.
Mateo Polo, the celebrated Venetian
traveler, with Ids two uncles, was the
llrst European to travel In China. In
tin-gild> | statue erected to his memory
in In,vv. China, the Chinese be
lieve Ids spirit still resides. Accord
ing to i Id nose superstition, a fly or
spider Is the means by which the
spirits ot the dead are coaxed buck
to earth to occupy their statues. Five
hundred similar statues, life sire, line
the walls of a dimly lighted room In
the Buddhist temple of that undent
city. They contain the spirits of the
- ,ges they represent, devout Buddhists
believe.
A spirit Is unable to enter a statue
mile s another and freshly liberuted
spirit is there to receive It, suy the
priests. Through u door in the buck
of a new statue, therefore, ft spider or
fly is introduced. The door Is then
sealed and the Insect Is left to smother.
lis spirit, fluttering about Inside the
statue, is taken possession of by the
soul of the long departed sage. Marco
Polo was brought hack In this way,
the priests say. Worshipers burn In
cense before tlit‘ statue and seek com
munion with the spirit of the alien who
dwell so long In Chirm, and even ruled
as governor of one of the provinces.
Story of the High Heel.
The high heeled shoe was intro
duced RU the Middle ages, when both
men nail women took to It.
Man, however, soon found that he
could not live a man's life and do a
man's work while wearing high heels,
nnd so rosmned his low-lieeled shoes,
leaving high heels to the Indies, with
whom they have always been popu
lar. «- ,
The modern high heel Is, In Its way,
a triumph of art, being of wood, which
Is lighter than leather and keeps Its
shape, dlit' heel contains a spring,
which adds to the grace of Its wear
er's walk. As the Inslop Is raised the
figure is thrown slightly forward, uud
a pronounced elegance Is the result.
But It most be admitted the high heels,
though Improving the appearance, do
not always improve the physique of
their wearers, and are frequently
the cause of 111-health.

Chinese Have Fondness for Birds.
In addition to using birds and their
nests as food, the Chinese keep birds
tut pets. Their fondness for birds Is
1 op;> of the most pleasant features of
their rational character. Birds furnish
them with much amusement.
Several kinds of bird pets are taught

Vote AGAINST ‘ Peach County”
WHAT would you say to a proposal that Georgia be chipped away
to form new states?
Who would dare attempt it?
Georgia, proud member of the original thirteen colonies, in earlier gen
erations gave of her wilderness at the westward that younger states might
be born. But the times no longer call for sacrifice. And Georgia remains
an empire.
Who would demand that Georgia give again, in order that Jacksonville
might constitute itself the capital of a slate of its own? Or Chattanooga
do likewise? . .
No one would be so foolhardy. UNLESS 1 HERE WERE MONEY IN
IT. Then the Big Lobby that operates around the Capitol in Atlanta
would cuddle up to the job.
It might even originate the idea.
It operates now on merely a smaller scale,
this Big Lobby does. But with equal impu
dence.

Rut what would be left if the Big Lobby
were to earn its fees would be but PART of a
county. A COUNTY SHUT IN. A COUNTY
WHOSE VITAL ROADS WOULD CROSS NEQ
irCifc.D CORNERS OF OTHER TERRITO
RIES. A county of a few white scions of tha
hardy folk who made it, and of a dominating
multitude of their slaves’ descendants.
* • • •
Only once before new has this matter been
considered on its merits. The legislative Com
mittee on Amendments to the Constitution
listened to all who were qualified to bear wit
ness r* r argue either for or against. And that
committee voted "NO" by nearly two to one.
You can surmise why the bill was passed
>ver the committee’s head. You can picture
tie Big Lobby at work. Chuckling, gurgling,
wheeling. Cajoling, petting, threatening, prom
ising flatter: g, while honest citizens slept.
You can imagine the homely humor, the home
grown good fellowship of hours late and early.
It was magic grossly wrought. But it caused
its victims to thrust this impudence before
you. for your signature on the dotted line.
