A MONKEY ,swITCHMAN.
An African Railroader's Ape Earns a Salary
for His Crippled Master.


Two years ago when ! was in South Africa
for New York firm of exporters l was in
formed that eight Tnilss up the railroad which
runs from CaPetOwn north. there WAS n trained
ape which acted a Switchm3a and drew
regular salary for his master
OF course | believed the story to be n csuard,
but felt that il was worth while investigating.
stopped at little station on the railroad in
Cape Colony and was directed TO n small switch
house 200 yarls up the track from the place
where the train had stopped. The Switch
tender was sitting outside the door in an arm
chair, aud by his side stood, or rather erouehed,
an enormous African ape, which was fully i've
feet high when erect.
As the Switchtender arose to answer my in
quiry noticed that he was armless. I asked
him whether it was true that his ape performed
the duties Of Switchman, and was told to watch
for five minutes and sec for myself A lew min
utes later the rumbling noise of an approaching
train was heard. As the noise increased the ape
Jumped from his crouching position and accom-
panied the Switchman to the place where the
white arm of the switch stood thrown to the
left.
At signal from the Switchman the ape
jumped forward, seized the key, unlocked the
paddock which held the switch in position. and
grasping the lever with his muscular arm
threw 1t to the right. The train dashed over
the switch to the side track of the station, and
III second the switch was thrown back into
position, aud the ape again took his seat by his
master 10 wait for further orders.
1t was certainly a wonderful performance,
and / would not believe it unless had seen il.
The man informed me that he had lost his arms
in 4 railroad accident while employed by the
company as Switchtender. During the five
years previous to the accident he had trained
the ape more as a matter Of recreation and 10
employ his leisure time while stationed at that
lonely outpost of the Capetown Railway.
The work of amusement turned him in good
stead when he was able to satisfy the company
that without arms he could as fully protect its
interests as when he was in possession OF those
limbs. For more than two years the ape had
performed the duties Of Switchman, and had
never made mistake More than this, the ape
was trained TO feed his master, as we'll as 10
dress and undreSs him, when necessary.
