Care for Them.
wye lose interest in nearly all the an
imals," said the keeper to New York
Tribune man, latter we have had them
awhile, except in the monkeys. The
oldest keeper in the show will stop now
and then to laugh at their antics
They're always inventing new tricks to
play on one another Their intclli-
gencc is wonderful and they show traces
OF conscience now and then. That big
ape by himself over there came to Mr.
Barnum with story which l have no
doubt is true. He was trained when we
got him to do certain tricks by n wan
dering peddlcr who owned him in the
east The ape is an expert thief and
one day he was going through his antics
In bazaar where a fruit merchant had
n bag of dates open on the ground. The
ape wanted some of those dates. lie
was too shy to look at them, but in his
tumblings he worked over toward
them. Pretty soon he got into n posi-
ton where the bag was between him
and the merchant, who was squatting
cross-lcgged on IL mat upon the ground
with leap the ape cleared the bag and
came down between it and the 1ncr-
he began to NOW and mouth and scream
at the man, showing his formula BILE
teeth, staring him out of counteuance
and making as if to attack him.
The merchant was SO astonished
that he did not notice the ape help
ing himself to dates with his hind
hands; apes are not four-footed, YOU
know, they are quadrumana, four
handed. Having taken all he could
hold, the ape quickly turned his back
on the merchant, stuffed the dates into
his mouth, and was off in jiffy. The
crowd saw the theft and cnioyed it, and
when they told the merchant he was SO
struck with the brute's cleverness that
he showed no resentment. The ape,
however, had got only yard or so away
in the crowd, when boy, out of pure
mischief, struck him with n whip from
behind The ape turned about like a
flash, dashed between the very legs of
the boy who had struck him, passed
two or three others without looking at
them, and flew Mt the unoffending mer-
chant, biting him two or three times
before he could be restrained. The old
thief had conscience enough to know
that he had done wrong, and as soon as
he felt the blow he took it for granted
that the man he had robbed was begin
ming to give him the drubbing he knew
he deserved. Some of our monkeys are
very fond of being petted and admired
and others are not" continued the
keeper. That little one over there is
rs vain as any woman, and curious
thing in connection with her is that
her vanity makes her poor mother
The last litter she had we took away
from her; Il former one she killed by
neglect, after she had hurt two or
three of them badly by holding them
out to visitors to be strolsed and pcttcd
also, and. in so doing, pressed them too
hard against the bars of her cage. She
thought her babies more lovely than all
the rest, probably, and she wanted
them to get some of the admiration and
attention which she enjoyed SO much

EARTH'S QUEER BLANKET.
1t Is Made of Dust, and Protects Us From
the Cold of Spaces.

1t Is Made of Dust, and Protects Us From
the Cold of Spaces.
We are apt to think of the dust that
the air contains in greater or less GUAM
titles as simply an annoyance, and
perhaps a source of disease: but the re-
searches of John Aitlien, the Scottish
investigator, are beginning to reveal at
mosphcric dust to us in new lights. Mr..
Aitlin has recently made known the re-
suits of his observations during 1890,
which are supplementary to those made
in 1889.
1t appears that when the air is very
thick and hazy it may contain floating
dust PARTICLES to the number of from
ten thousand to twenty thousand in
every cubic centimetcr, while cubic
ccntimeter of very clear air may contain
only from dozen up to few hundred
particles.
Mr.. Atkins observations indicate
that there Is relation between the
quantity of dust and the temperature
of the air. a great amount of dust, he
thinks, increases the temperature in the
daytime, and checks the fall of temper
ature at night
The reason apparently is that the
presence of dust serves as an obstruc-
ton to the free radiation of heat
through the air. The sunbeams pass
through very pure, clear air without
lending much heat to it, and at night
the heat received by the ground during
the day readily escapes through the
same air, but if the atmosphere is
heavily laden with dust, the suns rays
arc partially arrested by the particles
which, becoming heated, in turn warm
the air, and in like manner heat radi-
ated from the earth at night is retained
in the hazy layers of air in contact with
it's surface. $50
Without its atmosphere, says the
Youths Companion, which serves as q
coverlet to protect it against the fear
full cold of space, the surface of the
earth would be frozen like that of the
airless moon. But Mr.. Athens re-
searches seem to show that the beauti-
full atmospheric blanket wrapped round
our planet varies in it's power to retain
heat in proportion 70 the amount of
dust particles that it contains.

BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON.
Pretty Little Virginia Durstefn RecoC
niZed as an Heiress

The unusual spectacle was presented yes
ssfday before Judge CofTey OF a syndicate
OF four real-eastate spectators contestiDg
the right Of a minor heir to her natural and
legal portion Of a mothers estate The in
terest OF that syndicate was founded on its
purchase OF quarter interest in that estate
from one of the heirs, who, being Of a
thriftless character, had involved himself
IL debt and sold his patrimony in expect
ancy.
The contest grew out of the estate of Jose
Francisco de Leon, Spanish gentleman Of
tie ola school, who was one # the pioneers
Of the State. He died in July. 1873, leaving
an estate of real property valued at some
100000 The old gentleman had left viii
making his daughter, Virginia Leon de
Gina. his sole heiTess. but tying MP the es-
tate so that she could neither sell il nor mort
gage II, yet directing that upon her death il
should vest IN fee simple to her children in
equal parts. Mrs. de Gina had four chill
dren, one Of whom. a son named John, was
the one who sold his interest before her
death.
The syndicate is desir6u; u -feafffzfrg
upon its supposed one quarter interest by
purchase, but in the meanwhile unforeseen
complications had arisen ana the estate is
not longer susceptible OF adivision into four
parts. but IN five, wherefore arises the con-
test and opposition. Mrs. de Cima's mar
ried life was not happy one, for she was
divorced, and in San Jose. in 1888 married
Laurent Durstein. She was with him at
Geneva, Switzerland, in 1891. when she died,
leaving a beautiful lie4e child, named Vir-
ginia, and born in June 1884
1T was 10 her behalf that ex-senator Jere-
mlah Lynch, as her general guardian, petit

The Omnibus Cable Company Catches
It's Rival Mapping.

The Omnibus Cable Company Catches
Its Rival Mapping.
Between IL and 1 o'clock yesterday
morning a number of employees OF the
Omnibus Cable Company. under direction
OF Mechanical Superintendent FalTehlld,
began TO excavate between their tracks on
Market street, corner of Kearny. Alter
about 10 yards had been excavated cable
slot, with the regulation on-braced caDle
tunnel beneath, was laid. This portion IS
precisely on line with the extension OF
the Geary-street cable OF the Market.street
Cable Company. Ii, therefore. the latter
company desired to extend that line past
the present :uTntable to a junction with me
main line it would have 10 be brought
across the Omnibus CompaDys pOrtioh'
just laid down.
As this hurried action of the Omnibus
CaDie Company looked like stealing
mafcn on their rival, a reporter of IHE
GALL waited upon Mr.. Sutro, 4O6 Mont,
gOmery street, and asked If lie felt disposed
10 give an explanation.
I'VE have simply taken this action" said
Mr.. Sutro, TO protect our rights at the
crossing. as we intend in the near future 10
lay cable-road to the North Beach
as IT done ~ der the assumption that
the GeaTy-street line is to be extended p
MT. Sutro shrugged his shoulders. re-
marking: don't know. That is merely
guesswork."
A visit was then made to Fourth ana
townsend streets to j. l.. Wlllcutt, secre-
tary of the Market-street Cable COmPany.
Mr.. Willcutt was so busy that he could not
be seen, but In answer To a written message,
whlch clerk took into his sanctum, he sent
the reply that they were not in the least
concerned about the action OF the Omnibus
company. They were to put IN much
larger turntable at the corner Of Market ana
hearny streets but they had no intention
at present OF extending the Geary-street
line
IL Is surmised, however, that the Omnibus
company bad strong suspicion that the
Geary-S Street line was to be extended, which
IS the only apparent reasonable cause tor
thelr hurried action. And it is a matter OF
considerable moment financially to the
company laying the first cable. The top
cable Is very much less costly than the
under cable, and, besides. it is less liable
