Monkey. n. CRIB catchsr..

The way in which monkeys catch land
crabs Is described by a sportsman who
made an expedition to the jungles around
Singapore, and there enjoyed sport which
makes the contemporaneous records of
Indian experiences pale into insignif-
canoe. The monkey lies down fat on its
stomach. feigning death. From the
countless passages piercing the mud in
every direction thousands of little red
and yellow crabs soon make their ap-
p~earance, and after suspiciously eying
for a few minutes the brown fur of the
monkey, they slowly and cautiously slide
| up to him. in great glee at the prospect
of a big feed off the bones of Jocko. The
latter peeps through his half closed eye
lids, and fixes upon the biggest of the as.
sembled multitude. When the crab comes
within reach, out dashes the monkeys
arm, n off he scampers into the jungle
with a cry of delight to discuss at leisure
his cleverly earned dinner.
Rarely did the monkeys seem to miss
their prey" adds the describer Of this
scene. II saw, however, one old fellow
do 30, and it was ludicrous in the extreme
to see the rage it put him in. Jumping
for fully a minute up and down on all
TOURS at the mouth OF the hole into which
the crab had escaped, he positively
howled with vexation. Then he set to
work poking the mud about with his fin
gers at the entrance to the passage, fruit
lessly trying every now and again to peep
into it." These same monkeys, the so
called pig tailed variety. are taught by the
Malays to pick fruit for them in the for
ests. The monkeys select the ripest fruit,
and their masters, by following their
movements, catch them in n cloth before
they reach the ground. The monkey is
too well trained to attempt to eat any
fruit while at work, but when sufficient
are gathered he is duly rewarded for his
self denial. -London Globe.

Much interest is being awakened by a
portrait of Burns now on view in Princes
street. The picture has been quite re-
Gently discovered, and though the final
word has yet to be spoken by the experts
there is every reason to suppose that the
portrait is by Sir Henry Raeburn. In a
letter from the artist, written in 1903, he
mentions having dispatched a portrait
of Burns in a fishing smack from Leith
to London to a well known firm of pict-
ure dealers. The later history of the
picture is not yet satisfactorily cleared
up, but from internal evidence there is
every reason to believe hat the present
picture is the portrait alluded to in the
letter. The coloring is rich and mellow
in tone, and the figure stands out from
the canvas with lifclike force and reality.
The poet is painted seated in an arm
chair, with one leg crossed over the
other.
There is much individuality about the
treatment of the figure and face, and it
is ~curiously different from Nasmyth's
portrait; but as the latter picture was
done as an order from the publisher for
a frontispiece to the poems, it may be
supposed that the face was somewhat
localized.
In this portrait the eyes are full of fire
and the eyebrows generally a marked
feature in people of the artistic tempera-
ment) are broadly defined and have a
stamp of marked individuality. The
forehead, one of the most characteristic
features in an intellectual face, is unfor-
tunately almost hidden by the heavy
black hair; the lower part of the face is
somewhat coarse. 1t is difficult, when
looking at this picture, to know how
much to gather from the face itself, or
how much we read into it from our
knowledge of the character. Whether it
prove to be the missing Raeburn or not,
it is a decidedly fine piece of painting
and a most suggestive portrait. Muir

Recently l was conversing with a po-
liceman who is a rose enthusiast, and
he told me he had strong bushes of some
of the best hybrid perpetuals upon their
own roots, that he had rooted himself
in a way quite new to me. Having OBJ
tanned a suitable shoot, or several of
them, they were placed in an ordinary
bottle which contained some water, and
this bottle was hung upon the wall of
the house in a sunny position and there
left, water being supplied to make up
the deficiency caused by evaporation.
In this water, which often becomes very
warm from the heat of the sum-, the cut
tings remained, and after a short period
they calloused, when they were taken
out and dibbled into pots in the ordinary
way, the formation of the roots soon
taking place.
The above plan was claimed as expedi-
tious, as the cuttings ~calloused much
sooner in water than they did in the soil.
1t is known that many things root read
lily in water, and oleanders are frequent
ly propagated in that way, whilst some
Sedum spectabile that l have lately had
in a cut state had rooted freely long be-
fore the flowers faded. With the roses,
if cutting is once nicely calloused, success
is almost a certainty, and if this needed
state can be brought about by immersion
Of the base in water, we then have a
simple and valuable aid to rose propaga-
ton, because it is much easier to preserve
alive a cutting placed in water than it is
one in the soil during its early stage

The Bristol Medico- Chirurgical Journal.
the daily destructive metabolism, which

lions. Promising that he does not CON
