the eyes of the customs officers in ways that almost baff1e detection.
 They have brought opium skillfully stuffed in bananas still hanging to the stalk and in oranges. One day about six years ago a Chinese dressed as cook walked leisurely down the gang plank of a Pacific mail steamer with a basket on his arm containing several loaves of bread. He shuff1ed right by custom house officer and would have got away all right, but on the wharf came in collision with a drunken sailor. The sailor, who was to blame, gave the Chinese violent shove, send ing him sprawling and scattering his bread loaves. A policeman interfered and noticed that one of the loaves had broken open. He started to examine and the Chinese started to run. Every loaf was filled with opium.
 Chinese have been detected with boxes of the drug deftly bound up in their cues or tied under their arms. Every bit of baggage and every article they take ashore is hiding place.
 Beams on ship and table legs have been hollowed out as receptacles for contraband opium. False bottoms are put in cubby holes and pantry draw CTS. Hiding places are sought in coal bunkers and under the engines and boilers. The methods of secretion are so varied and ingenious that frequent ly the officers are unable to find snug gled opium, even after they have definite information that it is aboard a vessel. Only recently the officers failed to find lot, although they knew positively that it was on board. However, keeping the closest watch on everything that left the ship, they finally intercepted the opium as it was being taken ashore.

An Incident Brought Out in the Trial

An Incident Brought Out in the Trial
 of the Bandit.
 FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 5.-In the Evans trial the greater part of the day was devoted to testimony concerning the battle at Young's Cabin. Al Wittey of Modesto, brother of George Wittey one of the men wounded in the first fight at Evans house in Visalia testified that he was in the fight at Young's Cabin. He told of the conversation at Coffee's cabin between Vic Wilson and Clark Moore, Evans former mining partner and the man who was supposed to be implicated in the robberies. Witty heard Vic Wilson say to Moore, You are doing good deal of running around and the only wish have for you is that you will be found with Evans and Son. tag at the round up."
 The witness then recounted the incl dents of the fight at Young's cabin when the bandits fired upon the posse without warning, and of the killing of Vic Wilson and McGinnis. Frank Burke, 8 deputy sheriff from Yuma, Arizona, and Warren Hill, of Sanger, a constable, who was also 8 participant in the battle, were examined at length
 Hill was asked whether he had not asked Clark Moore to lead Evans. sand Sontag into a trap where the posse could get them and whether he had not offered Moore his share of the $10,00O reward. He admitted that he did and Moore replied: "Warren, Chris Evans has always been my friend we have worked together and the Southern Pacific and Wells Fargo have not money enough to blibe me to betray Evans and Sontag." Edwin Mainwarlng, who was at Young's cabin on the day of the battle and whom Evans and Sontag compelled to cook breakfast for them, was on the stand when court adjourned.

Apes That Possess the Knowledge of
 Pottery Making.

Pottery Making.
 An extraordinary story is told by the London Daily News, which states that Dr. Mcgowan lately returned to Tient-sin, bringing with him, among other curious discoveries, some partic ulars of race of Manchurian monkeys inhabiting the mountain region of the Great Wall of China. They are said to know how to make pottery; more re- markable still, they are represented as having made extraordinary progress in the art of making wine. A recent edi- tion of the official history of Yungping states that lately large body of i'm migrating monkeys passed a certain village in crossing from one mountain to another The boys of the village clapped their hands and shouted at the spectacle, and the monkeys, being frightened, fled, taking their young in their arms, but dropping in their flight number of earthen vessels, some of which would hold quart. On open ing these, the villagers found they contained two kinds of wine, pink and green, that had been made from mountain berries. It is affirmed that the monkeys store this liquor for use in the winter when the water is all frozen. Dr. Mcgowan cites other in dependent testimonies to similar facts, including a Chinese account of mon keys in Chekiang who pound fruit in stone mortars to make into wine.
