STRENGTH OF ORANG-OUTANG
if Properly Braced, It Is Said the Ani
mal “Can Easily Bend Almost
Anything.”
The strength of a full-grown orang
outang is enormous. I have seen one
bend a 1-inch steel bar as though it
were made of rubber. If he can brace
himself properly, with plenty of room
to exert his entire strength, he can
bend almost anything; but between}
bending a bar and breaking a rope by
pulling, there is a great deal of dif
ference. A rattan rope will hold him,
though a simple menagerie cage may
pot give him any more trouble thap
a paper hoop.
The strength of the orang-outang, ot ‘
“wild man,” as the name means Ip
Malay, is largely in his arms. The!
arms of a mias—the breed that we
were after in Borneo—measure ten
feet or more from tip to tip. The mias
type, which is next in size to the goril
ia, 14 somewhat larger than the or.
dinary breed. It is distinguished by
a darker color and by folds of skin
at each side of the face. Its body,
from shoulders to hips, {8 about the
size of a man’'s. It has short, unde
veloped legs, long fingers and thumbs
that are mere stubs.
An orang-outang never travels on
the ground when he can swing from
tree Lo tree, and, since there are very
lfew open spaces in the jungle, he
seldom reaches ground except when he
goes down to get something, He can
swing incredible distances, hurtling
through the air and caiching branches
with perfect accuracy.
Orang-outangs usually live in col
onies numbering from 40 to 60, and the
largest and most powerful is chief.
They muke their homex on platforms
in the branches of trees and they build
the platforms by breaking off limbs
and putting them crisscross, In mating
season the male and female live to
gether, but the couples separate after
the young are born. The mother takes
care of thein and the father goes off
about his business.—Charles Mayer ip
Asia Magazine.
INSECTS MAKE LEAVES ‘WALK’
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
in Australia.
There are some strange leaves in
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. Whenever
there came a gust of wind these queer
feaves blew off in a perfect shower.
As leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
ground. Then they would seem to
crawl toward the trunk of the tree
from which they fell, Since that time
it has been found that these leaves,
a 3 they were thought to be, were real
insects and lived upon those wery
trees. Their bodies are thin and flat
and their wings veined, just like a
leaf. If they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded awdy under their
hodies, leave their whole shape ex
actly like the leaf of a tree, with stem
and all. Bright green in the summer,
these singular little insects, chame
leon-like, slowly chaunge their color to
a dingy brown, just like a leaf that
hasg been frosted. It Is strange that,
with wings, they do not fly, but rath
er walk or crawl along the ground.
Queen Liked Her Ale Strong.
The City of London Brewery com
pany, whose premises are offered for
<ale, claim to be the only brewery in
the city of London existing from the
time of Queen Klizabeth, and it is
quite possible that the queen occasion
ally sampled their brew. Elizabeth
was a specialist in ale. She liked it
strong, as witness the plaintive note
her host, the earl of Leicester, sent to
l.ord Burleigh: “There is not one
drop of good drink for her here. We
were faln to send to London and
Kenflworth and divers other places
where ale was; her own beer was 8o
strong that there was no man able to
drink it."”
Testing Material in Cloth,
Mixtures of cotton and wool may
be tested by raveling a bit of cloth
and burning two of the threads, one
running with the selvage, the other
crosswise to it. The cotton thread
burns quickly with a flame and smells
like wood; wool chars slowly without
a flame and smells like burning hair.
Shoddy, or remanufactured wool, is
often used with wool, This can be
defected by raveling out a bit of the
material, ‘when short broken fibers
may bhe seen, In general, a woolen
material which has cotton in it will
hecome more wrinkled when wet than
all-wool goods.

CRY CAME FROM HIS HEART‘
Thespian Was by No Means Acting
When He Gave Such Strong Vent
to His Feelings.
Otis Skinner was recounting some
of his experiences in “Kismet,” not
the motion-picture version but the
stage play, in which he made such a
big success all over the country a few
years ago.
“lI remember when we played Cin
cinnati,” he said, “that we had trou
ble with our harem pool. We always
tested it .before the show and on this
night, instead of the slightly heated
water pouring through the pipes, it
was jets of steam,
“We sent out and got all the ice wa
could procure, but even so, when the
harem girls plunged in, they turned
red as beets. A little later, I was
called on to throw the grand vizier,
Mr. Hamilton Revelle, into the pool.
“We had forgotten to tell him about
the temperature, and when he struck
the water he let out a yell that we
thought would break up the show. But
it didn’t and you can imagine our sur
prise next day when the critics com
plimented Revelle on the spontaneous
outery he made when I threw him to
his death.:‘ sg (o

Who Controls Back of Seat?
“Say, take your coat off of my
new hat!”
“My coat isn't on your hat. And
it it s, you can just take your hai
away. My coat's going to stay where
it is!” -
“You can put your coat on your
lap. I'N call the usher.”
That's the way the argument be
gan between the two women in the
movie theatre. The woman in front
had dropped her coat over the back
of her seat. The woman in back ob-
Jected, because she had “parked” her
new spring hat there,
But the question, who owns the
back of the seat—the person who
sits in the seat or the one hehind—
was left unsettled. because the owner
of the coat moved to another seat.—

Sea May Reclaim Wayward Boys.
Belleving that the lure of the sea
might prove the winning appeal to
boys who resist the eonventional
schooling of shore life, a Baltimore
ghipping expert proposes the establish
ment of a training ship at that port.
Not only would such a school ship
serve as a co-operative unit in the
educational system of the city and
state, but it would give additional
marine training calculated to yield a
supply of American ssallors for the
merchant vessels of the nation.—Pop

What a Real Pearl Is,
The real pearl—that is the fine,
spherical, iridescent gem—is not s
product of the mother-of-pearl or nacre
lining of the oyster shell, as are the
barocque and seed pearls, but is forme
ed in the gills and never grows In
size. They begin as a small blister
containing a hyaline fluid which com
denses slowly and gradually hardens
in concentric layers. The iridescence
is due te the minute films of air er
gas that are contained between the
layers.

BUILT THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER
Whitelaw Reid’s Structure That
Housed the Tribune Was the
Wonder of Its Day.
The skyscraper was undreamed of—
until Whitelaw Reid laid the corner
stone of the Tribune building in 1874.
The Florentine campanile that he then
lifted into the air gave his contempo
raries what was, for them, a greater
sensation than their descendants have
received from Manhattan’'s tallest tow
ers. Voyagers coming up the bay
halled it with astonishment, little im
agining the formidable structures it
foreshadowed.
The skyline it broke was that of an
essentially flat, low-lying city. In
Reid’s eyes New York was not then
precisely beautiful. So we may judge
from the instructions he sent to Clar
ence Cook in 1870, with a request for
a series of architectural articles. “What
I want,” he wrote, “is first a crisp edi
torial on the prevailing lack of archi
tectural taste in New York, the dreary
miles of browstone fronts, the worth
lessness of brownstone as a material
for building, the mostrosities given us
by our wealthiest men.”
Then article after article was to be
written, discussing the question of ar
chitecture In our cities generally, but
particularly in New York., The “fright
ful example” was to be fearlessly pil
loried, and suggestions were to be
made.—From “The Life of Whitelaw
Reid,” by Royal Cortissoz.
HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
First Public School in United States
Is Said to Have Been in
That City.
It is probable that the beginning ot
the American public school was in
Massachusetts. In 1635 the people of
Boston assembled in town meeting, re
quested Philemon Purmont to become
schoolmaster and voted him 30 acres
of land in part pay for his services.
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol
lewed Boston’s example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established in all the New Eng
land settlements. In 1647 the gen
eral court of Massachusetts ordered
every town having 50 families to ap
point a teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents of the children
hé taught or by the inhabitants in
general. At the same time townships
having 100 familiés were required to
establish a grammar school to fit
youth for college. The law establish
'ing these two grades of schools laid
the foundation of the public school
system in the United States. Three
years later a simdlar law was passed
in Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form a school
system until 1790.
FURS NO MARK OF RICHES
Even the Poorest Farmers of Rou.
mania Wear Collars and Hats
of Finest Astrakan.
The poorest farmer in the Near East
can afford astrakan collars and hats;
and the man without a good piece of
fur on his overcoat collar or a whole
fur lining is almost always a beggar
or-a foreigner from America or west
ern Europe, where these things cost
money.
Nobody wears more fur lining or
higher astrakhan hats than the cab
drivers,
These men comport themselves with
a dignity equaled by no single other
class of men in the world, upless it
be by the priests of the Greek church.
A long black plush garment, tight
at the collar and belted at the waist
by a bath robe cord, envelopes them
from head to foot. Because it is
lined with fur, this garment makes a
man look far bigger than he really is,
And the high conical astrakan cap,
like a curly dunce cap, adds to his
stature,
Alany of the drivers are said to be
long to d ‘curious religious sect orig
inating in Russia, a sect involving
celibacy. They spurn friendship with
women as likely to decrease their love
for their horses.
Whether this is true or not, it is
certain that the cab drivers are the
most picturesque figures in Bucharest,
outshining even the corseted and
rouged Roumanian army officers,
