A Monkey Which Climbs "A Wire Seem

A Monkey Which Climbs IA Wire Seem
ius,y Of Its Own Accord.
A toy of German origin has lately
been patented. 1t consists of a gro
tes1ue figure caused 10 climb or crawl
upward along and toward the highest
portion of an inc ined plane or straight
edge by means of a b mt wire to which
it clings. Ihe resClt Is accomplished
by the invisible and unconscious ner-
vous or muscular vibrations and
twitchings OF the hand and arm of a
person holding the straight edge, so
that such rerson, as well as the spec
factor, cannot account for the phe-
nomenou .; the grutesque figure cling
ing to the bent wire and travelling up
hill by means thereof, without the APP
plicatiop o. /, ne traction force.
The parts being n the position illus
trated in the drawing, the vibrations
of the hand lmpart an oscil ating mo-
ton to the blade, a, and this motion is
impaired to the staple, C, and causes
the lower ends to slip along the table
in the direction of inclination of the
staple when the blade is lifted, and
its upper portion is caused thereby to
slip along the blade in the same d!rec-
tion when the blade is depressed, with
the result that the monkey travels
toward the high end OF the bla te, that
is, toward the left n the drawing. OF
course the rate of travel of the monkey
depends rpon the degree of trembling
or twityhiug of the hand or arm OF the
manipulation, and 10y practice it is pos
sible u acquire the reduisit, strength
and skill for preventing such trem-
bliugs and twitchings, whereby the
monkey is permitted to remain at rest.

1876 he disagreed with some of the
principal measures of his party, and in

Aberdeen heartily supported the views
of these statesmen. In the debate on
the Afghan war he voted against the

1881.
In 1856, having by that time become
a member of the Liberal party, he was
