Gamers Of The Chimnanzas. .

AT the Geological Garden at Phllade'
phia, the long and vacant quarters OF
Jack and Jill Livingston, deceased were
occupied by two successors. Iopsy and
Molly Stanly are the names Of the new.
IL arrived African chimpauzces which
landed in New York on the bark Siberia
from Sierra Leone Thursday They
reached the Garden in a special dry
good, box literally padded with hay aud
old blankets, and were at home to
visitors in the afternoon The two ami
mails which arrived yesterday are better
specimens than the former ones. They
are females and young, though the larg-
er one is three feet tall, Molly is the
baby, and when her name IS called looks
at her visitor with bright hazel eyes in
an inquiring manner. Watching their
actions it is hard to believe they are not
human.
A rope swing aud a post in the middle
Of the glass cage, with pins driven into
il at regular intervals as a substitute for
tree with limbs, afford them their most
active amusement They are never still
minute. Sitting erect on the bottom
Of the cage the baby Molly would toy
with her front hair and then suddenly
break off and get to counting her fingers.
Meantime Topsy, the larger one,is more
grave and seemingly dignliied. Appear
ances in her case, however, are decep-
tive. Both were fed on bananas yester-
day afternoon, which is one of their
favurite diets. No sooner had Topsy
received her banana than she took one
bite out of it and, then looking around,
saw the baby devouring its portion OF
the fruit Topsy quietly took the re-
naming portion of her banana and
stealthily hid it in the hay on the bottom
of the cage. Then turning she walked up
TO the baby and, in the rudeSt manner
imaginable, snatched out of its hands
the beloved morsel, and coldly turning
TO the other side Of the cage, began to
eat it with evident relish,
The action Of the baby chimpan2ee
was more than ever calculated to justify
the Darwinan theory. With a ptiful
cry, almost perfect in its resemblance to
the human voice, she got up and ran
after the older chmpanzee, reaching
which she touched her gently on the
shoulder with her hand. This had no
effect, as Topsy kept on eating the ba-
mana with absorbing satisfaction. The
baby then, with another cry went up
further and placed its little nose against
the cheek of the elder chimpan1ee, and
with its wide, hazel eyes full Of reproach
looked at the older one,
Topsy, however, is anything but well
bred and ate the banana up and then
went back and dug out her own from
the hay and began on that, The baby
followed her, not to make any forcible
demonstration, but simply to transtiS

thing else that belonged to the meal had
not the keeper interfcrcd and proceeded
to teach her manners. He forcibly took
the banana from her and gave it to her
sister and then pointed his finger al
Topsy to shame her The eyes of the
little animal seemed TO show that she
felt her position strongly
A companion ledger in the cage with
them is an orang-outang, which was a
tenant there during the days of the for.
mor two chimpanzees and who since
their death has became rather morose
and lies half the time wrapped up in q
blanket asleep During the feeding pro-
cess yesterday the orang-ouiang, which
hes not rs yet made any social advances,
was lying, as usual, asleep in his blank
ct. After Molly had had her meal she
began TO pull her bangs again and then
TO stare at her visitors. Her gaze pres
entity wandered to the sleeping orang-
outang. Quick rs thought n mischev-

up from the hay she walked. over and
began to pull the blanket of. The
orang-outang awoko and looked out
from under his covering with lazy eyes
and apparently without energy enough
to hold on to his property.
The baby, having pulled the blanket
completely off him, then did most
amusing thing. With sudden tumble

Its feet right on the orang-outang's
breast. Then with another quick mo-
