The monkeys Of Gibraltar rock are
said to enjoy the rare distinction Of being
the only monkeys in Eurc:,c not kept 10
captivity. How did they come therea
This question used to puzzle scientific
men. 1t was once thought they were
the descendants of some monkeys that
had been brought over FROM Africa
hundreds of years since, but now it Is
agreed that they found footing in
Europe long, long before Spain as Spain
was ever heard Of. Before the sea wore
away the land and made what is called
the strait of Gibraltar. Europe and
Africa were Joined together. aud animals
roamcd from one spot to another a. they
pleased.
When the time came, however, that
the strip OF land was at last swallowed
up by the greedy ocean, the strong cur
rent prevented creatures that were not
at home in the water from crossing to
and fro as they were wont to do.
Among the unfortunates whose wander
ings were thus unexpectedly cut short
were many African monkeys, and the
rock monkeys of the present day-whosc
numbers it may be added are growing
less and less-arc undoubted descend
ants OF those prehistoric fellows. OF
course 1t follows that the Barbary apes
the monkeys living on the African side
OF the strait-are the first cousins of the
occupants of "Gib."

Two North Poles,

1t can be properly said that there are
two north poles. The geographical
north pole (the place where all degrees
of longitude intersect and where there is
no latitude) and the north magnetic
pole, the latter being the needles attrac-
ton. The first mentioned or geographic
eel pole is fixed and constant, but the
magnetic is constantly changing posi-
ton, and at tho rate it is now travelling
will make a complete circuit of the geo.
graphical pole about once in every GAO
years. Observations on this point were
first made from the Greenwich obserya-
tory in 1868, at which date the magnetic
pole was on that meridian. During the
last s35 years it has crossed the Atlantic
ocean and is now we'll on its journey
across the northern part of the American
continent. At the present time it is on
or near the southwestern shore of Boothis
peninsula, AZ about seventy-six degrees
north latitude.

Wind Power.

An interesting note in the Electrician
on wind power says that some years ago
an attempt was made, under the auspices
of the Due de Feltre and NJ. l. Vigreux,
to drive the dynamos at the Pointc dc
la Heve lighthouse by wind power. The
wind, however, us is it's custom, blew
when and where 1t listed, and ended one
fine, or rather one stormy, day by over
throwing the ungainly apparatus in
stalled on the exposed headland. M.
Max de Nansouty, in abiding to this
attempt to harness the wind, suggests
that the next time similar attempt is
made it would be as we'll to try the effect
of surrounding the atmospheric tur-
bines" by strong towers, and directing
the wind onto the vanes by nozzles in
much the same way as the water is
directed onto the buckets of Pelton
wheel. This idea of "canalising" air
currents is, it is said, actually engaging
the attention of windmill experts.

Alcohol in Chicken Raising.

Yes, sir, can raise chickens three
days quicker by planting the eggs than
can be done in the regular way" said an
man who otficiates as gardener for a
prominent iron manufacturer on Fifth
avenue, East End. 1t seems strange but
chickens are about the only things that
man is able to grow. The usual things
produced in garden languish and fail
under his direction, but chickens thrive.
-" You see, l brought this idea over
with me from the old country. place
the eggs in box with little fertilizer.
then plant the box about four or five
inches below the surface"
"Well, some one told me you INDUCED

reporter.

dener answered.
Auou ehoIo IS soIle mystery ABOUT 1t,

"No, you must keep the box dry"
replied the old chicken farmer.
The reporter gave up further question

to tell his story without interruption.

Francisco had 5l4 of the latter, all white
men. quartered at the city's expense In a
relief camp.
STARTLING are the official statistics that
have just been published in Germany
concerning the number Of suicides in
various armies of the old world. AMI
they are regarded by the Omaha Bee as
striking illustration Of the unpopular
ity of obligatory military service. 1t
seems that in Austria the average rate
for the year is l3l per 100, 900 men. The
French come next with ninety-two sui
cides per annum for each 100000 men.
The German government gives its rate
at sixty. eight, but these figures are gen
orally believed to be below the actual
number, as the impression prevails in
military circles throughout Europe that
the suicides in the German are more fire.
quent even than in that of Austria.
ltaly's quota is given at forty five, while
that Of Russia does not exceed twenty, a
figure that is obviously far below the
truth. Belgium gives its rate at twenty
four, Spain at fourteen. and England at
twenty-three, most of the suicides in
the British army occurring out in India.
A remarkable fact is that, notwithstand
ing the majority of suicides are popu-
larly believed to be attributable to
tyranny on the part of the officers, yet
it is precisely among the officers that the
largest number of selfintlicted victims
is to be found. The favorite method of
suicide is by shooting, either with a
rifle or a revolver. Next comes drown
ing, and after that hanging, while of late
a large number of officers and men have
taken their lives by throwing themselves
in front Of railway trains. 1t has also
been noted that, whereas the smallest
number of suicides takes place in the
winter, the largest number occurs in the
broiling hot months If July and August.

The Crazy Peer Voted.

There is only one we'll authenticated
case of lunatic having voted in a divi-
sion either in the House of Lords
or the House of Commons. In 1841, on
the occasion when Lord Melbourne's
government was defeated by one vote on
Sir Robert Peel's notice of want of con-
iidence, the Wings brought down Lord
Y, who was a member for a>Scotch
county. although he was in STATE of
absolute driveling idiocy, and his vote
was duly recorded on the government
side. Mr.. Charles Greville states that
this poor wretch was brought in q

then wheeled him past the tellers.

Judge Reed Of the district court is insre-
eeipt of personal letter, conveying the
warmest manifestations of friendship,
from Vice President Adlai Stevenson. Mr..
Stevenson has known the judge for years
and has known Mrs. Reed since she was a
child. He remembers her distinctly aud
spoke about her in the fondest terms, for
her father was MIR. Stevenson's preceptor
In law and warm personal friend of his

ABOUT THE STATION.

Talbert Lewis, typical country lad.
was arrested on charge Of petty larceny
yesterday and on hearing at O'clock
was released. His story was a plausible
one and the court believed him. He said
he was at the Missouri Pacific depot wait
ing for d train to go home when r little
colored boy came to him and asked him if
he could change dollar bill and he told
him he could. He gave the boy half
dollar and two quarters and received the
bill all punched up and placed it in
his pocket book In few minutes
the boy returned accompanied by his
father when the latter accused Lewis of
stealing ten dollar bill from the boy He
told him he changed dollar bill and said
he had it 10 his pocketbook. He pulled it
out and unrolled it and sure enough it was
SO bill and he promptly surrendered ii
and assured the negro his boy said 81
bill and that he did not look at it. This
explanation did rot satisfy him
however and he had Lewis AZ
rested. The court was satisfied that
Lewis was telling the truth and discharg-

REGENERATION.

The registration books closed promptly
at o'clock yesterday evening and John
V. KoogIe, the assistant city clerk,
promptly locked the books In the vault
and closed the Office. although about forty
voters were waiting to register.
No count was made Of those registered
yesterday but it is close to 100, about 700
women and 500 men. This will make the
entire number registered about $500. de-
cidedly the largest registration ever had
here. This is owing to the fact that more
women registered this year than ever be-
fore.
At o'clock an old colored woman came
to register and on being asked her age said
she did not know but that she was more
than 100 years Of age. Sac said that she
ate supper at o reception given to George
Washington. Assistant Clerk Koogle was
satisfied that she was old enough to vote
SO entered her age on the book rs an even
