our age that, while we lcgislatc for the
protection OF life and limb in all kinds Of
industrial employment, no check should

The evil will, however, l suppose, always
exist as long as there is free competition
between managers and free competition
between the poor creatures who risk their

merely accidental, for l distinctly saw

at them, and this made them quite
angry. and the number of fragments
which they set rolling was speedily

This, though it does not amount to
the actual throwing of objects by
monkeys as a means of offense, comes
very near to the same thing, and makes
me think that there may be truth in the
stories of their throwing fruit at people
from trees. At all events, the general
statement that the act of throwing
things is never performed by any animal
except man is certainly not correct, as

plants project branches of trees with the
design of hitting persons OUT of their
reach. Traveller India Letter.
