The monkey house in Central park is the
favorite resort Of that half million of chill
dren who live in aud around New York.
Here there are fifty monkeys. In one big
cage there are dozen new monkeys not
vet thoroughly accustomed to clviliza
ton. Their cage has TO be tidied,
and so when the keeper enters witch
his broom the whole lot OF them
saueal and scamper of to the oppo-
site side of the cage, and huddle there. !
am certain they are not really scared, but
only pretend. In this lot of monkeys, one
two foot monkey has become the dear
friend Of very small one, and so whom
ever they scamper from one side Of the
cage TO the other the big one acts as a
horse for the little one.
All the monkeys are on intimate terms
with Mr. Jacob, the keeper, and some are
never happy unless they get into bis arms
or can hang about his neck. As the keeper
has to use his broom vigorously in sweep
ing the door it is funny to see him carry
around necklace Of live monkeys while
at his work
That monkey house is n scene Of perpet-
ual motion Il can only be quiet when all
hands are asleep You Will see a monkey
perfectly still aud motionless, and you
will say: "Thutehap is dead tired At last. No
wonder! Now be is going TO take com

In Polk county. Neb., are many wells
which exhibit a very peculiar phenomena
of intermittance They vary from 100 to
40 feet in depth, and all ebb aud flow either
irregularly or as regular as tides on an
ocean beach. The flow is accompanied by
a roaring sound like that OF the sea, as
though a distant wave were coming in, and
at the same time a stiff current of air
PUSHES out al the mouth of the well The
ebb is accompanied by a downward draft
OF air, as might naturally be supposed.
The period Of ebb and flow does not seem
to depend upon the heat or cold or upoR
the dampness OF dryness OF the atmosphere.
