invested two hundred and twenty-five
dollars for three new wigs about every

beaten countenancc, proceeds ut once
to the monkey cage.
The monkeys recognize him and set
up chatterinS and bowling that would
CRATE on sensitive persons nerves. but
the old man does not mind it bit lie
enjoys it and beams on the quadrumana
that make every effort to reach him
through the iron bars, with an express
sion that would lead one to think that
his soul was wrapped up in them.
Finally the noise subsidies and the old
man gazes into n dozen comical expec-
tant faces pressed against the bars,
with twentyfour pairs of bright eyes
looking at him, and uttcrs n few gut
tural sounds that nstonish and please
the monkeys. He perfectly initiates the
sounds of most of them, and all ar
range themselves il scmicirclc and
with great seriousness listen to all he
has to say. Sometimes his tone is SER
lous, when all the monkeys put on Il
very abjcct expression and look as sor-
rowful MS monkey can. Then
again when the tones are different, the
monkeys will dance about with every
evidence of delight, and all begin to
jabbcr Mt once, until the old man
points his finger at one of the largest.
All remain silent while he seemingly
carries on conversation with one of
the older ones, initiating all of tho
grimaccs and actions of monkey as
well us any human being could.
Sometimes the conversation lasts IN
hour or more, when the little man bids
his friends adicu until the morrow.
1t is said by some that the little man
was once sea captain, whose crew
were murdered by the natives on the
coast of Brazil and he made his cscape
to the forests of the interior with no
companions but the monkeys for many
months, and subsistcd entirely on
the wild fruits and other food berries
that he could gather. 1t is supposed
that he obtained some knowledge of
their method of communication during
the months of his enforced residence in
the Wilderness that enable him 70 on,

When nccosted the old man will not
reply, and his mysterious behavior is a
source of much comment.

COLUMBUS RELICS.

Proposed Reproduction of the Convent
La Isabida at the Exposition.
The worlds fair directory is recon-
mendc1 by its foreign affairs commit
tee to appropriate fifty thousand dollars
for the purpose of building ut jackson
park n fac smile of the ancient convent
of La Rabida, of Palos, Spain. 1t is be-
loved that this would be the most APP
propriate structure possible in which to
exhibit the large number of relics of
Columbus which is being collected If
the project is carried out, as it seems
probable it will be, this building and its
contents will doubtless be one of the
exhibition attractions which no visitor
will be content to leave without seeing.
1t was ut the door of the convent Of
La Rabida that Columbus. disappointed
and downhearted, asked for food and
shelter for himself and his child. twas
here that he found an asylum for few
years while he developed his plans and
prepared the arguments which he SUBJ
mittcd to the council at Salamanca 1t
was in one of the rooms of this convent
that he met the Dominican monks in
debate, and it was here also that he
conferred with Alonzo Pinzo, who
afterwards commanded one of the yes
sells of his fleet. In this convent Column
bus lived while he was making prep
arations for his voyage, and on the
morning that he sailed from Palos he
attended himself the little chapel.
There is no building in the world so
closely identified with his discovery as
this, and fortunately it's architecture is
OF such character as to permit of re-
production ut comparatively small
cost, and at the same time furnish a
picturesque view and appropriate group
among the splendid buildings that will
be erected at Jackson park. 1t will not

are very deceptive; they mako fine birds
