Why Few MONKEYS Are Trained.

Perhaps you have noticed" said
Superintendent Stephen of the Zoo. to
n reporter of the Cincinnati Times
Star, that with all the trained and
educated animals exhibited ut the cir
Gus and museums there is seldom a
performing monkey. Yet the monkey
learns tricks readily and is almost hu.
man sometimes in its actions
There is single reason for it, he
continued, ''and that is the extreme
delicacy of the monkeys organization.
A monkey in exercising will get over.
heated, and, put into its cage, will
seek cool corner. 1t catches cold
which develops into consumption, and
Just as likely as not the animal is dead
in day. Still they often linger for a
year Often monkey will cough, and
again | have had them die suddenly
without exhibiting any sign of disease,
but upon dissecting them ! have found
their lungs entirely gone The mon
key does not get ON well in our eli
mate unless he is kept in warm en-
closure.
fThe average circus will start ont in
the spring with 100 monkeys and will
be doing remarkably well if it comes
bacl, at the close of the season with
twenty. The average life of one of
these beasts in captivity is two years,
though we have several here iftaen
years old. Even our hardy old beasts,
however, would not last long in a cir
Gus cage. The great trouble with the
monkey is that he is curious to see
everything, and the moment the cage
is opened in the menagerie he is al the
front, chnging to the bars reaching
out for peanuts and candy. There is
usually crowd about him and that
warns him up When the ring per-
Torrance begins there is rush from
the menagerie, leaving it bare and full
Of draughts As result he catches
cold.
"The monkeys are captured in BAN
boo cage-traps Food is placed inside,
End they go in for it, Then many are
captured while young by shooting the
mothers. st the least alarm the
mothers take refuge in fight, springing
wildly from tree to tree, paying no at
tention to the young which cling
around her waist for dear life 1t is
very easy to shoot the mother without
injuring the young
Again, steel traps are set, having
the claws wrapped with cloth so as not
to injure the legs of the captives.
There is no danger in the business SO
long rs the monkeys do not get cor
nered and scream. When they do
that the whole tribe comes to the res
enc, attacking the hunters and biting
furiously
The smaller ones are easily beaten
off, but with the apes these encounters
are dangerous Take those chimpan.
ices that roam the wilds of Africa.
They are as big rs a man and far more
powerful. When hunter encounters
one Of them he must do one of two
things immediately He must scare the
beast by some wild motion or he must
kill him instantly. They are easily
scared, but wound one and their cries
attract herds of companions that will
set upon the hunter and tear him to
pieces They don't mind being shot
Mt, so that if hunter cannot kill al in
sight or disable them he is dead

record where hunters have been liter

beasts / would rather meet a lion

they encountered the linvipcible team,
he had a strike on the ninth frame and a
prospect of making a score of 154. This
would have brought the team total up to

Tuesdays Pin Fight.

The Leading Team Turned Down in a
Tuesdays Pin Fight.
The Garfield A. G. bowling team, which
took the lead in the Greenville-B ayonne
League series on Monday night by defeat
ing the crack Puritan team, were defeated
on Tuesday by the Friendlys and the
Irouuois and Friendly's chances for the
championship are very much I'M
proved. The Friendly's poor alleys
and the boisterous shouting OF
certain members and "rooters"
OF the home team had much to do with
the defeat of last years champions. The
Garfelds seldom become ratified. A more
steady set of bowlers would be hard to
find, but the cat calls and personal III
suits that were hurled at them .unnerved
them. As it was a fight was narrowly
ayerted. A number of spectators, among
them members of the Puritan A. Y.
team who saw the injustice of the thing,
started in to shut up" h boisterous
b owlers, Wiser counsel, however, inter-
fered and the fight did not take place.
The scores were low hut the game was
a most exciting one as the defeat of the
Garields meant, to them, the loss OF the
championship.
The Friendly's took the lead in the first
frame by 3 pins. In the next tho Gar
fields jumped ahead and led by IL pins.
In the fourth the Friendlys' led
again by 27 pins. The fifth frame
found the Garfelds on top again,
leading by 5 pins. They gained
six pins in the sixth and lost two again
in the next frame. They gained anoLner
pin in the eighth frame. The ninth frame
proved to be their Waterloo. The
Friendlys secured numerous credits and
were 26 pins ahead. They dropped W
pins in the tenth frame md won the
game by "a pins. BischoD of the
Friendlys was high man with 176.
Miller was next with 153. Seaman
led the Farfields with 143. Herig was
next with 142. After the game Smith
of the. Friendlys declared that the Gar
fields s.didn't know how to bowl" This
angered Kundahl of the Gartields and a
match for a large purse was arranged
between the two men. It was a hot
game and Kundahl woD by two pins.
The score was kundahI 145. Smith 143.
