The Squirrel Monkey.

The red backed teetee, or squirrel
monkey, is by far the most beautiful
in form and color Of all the North
American monkeys as well as being
an interesting pet in captivity. The
length Of the head and body is about
12 inches, and the tail is about the
same length. In color The whole
skull cap is black. The ears, face,
neck and throat are white. The back
is reddish brown. The sides of the
body, forearns, hands and feet are
ocher yellow, and the arms, thighs
and upper tWo-thirds of the tail are
olive and gray. The tail is not pre-
hensile, and the outer third of it is
covered with rather bushy black
hair, longest at the end.
I once owned a very near relative
to the species described above-a tee
tee, but not this identical species
which was about the size of a gray
squirrel, with the nervous activity
and sprightliness Of three. I bought
it of sleepy Indian in South Aneri-
ca, and it proved to be the plague of
several peoples lives.
One that we shot and roasted for
supper proved to better favored than
any squirrel 1 ever ate. These mon
keys are SO small they are not swift
climbers in the tree tops, and al
though easy enough to shoot are des-
perately hard to find afterward.-

A workingnan.s Discovery.

Some years ago q tQbacconist discov>
cred the utility of tinfoil for wrapping
tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been
exclusively used for the purpose, but it
did not serve to keep the moisture Of
the atmosphere away from the tobacco
nor preserve the natural moisture Of tina
tobacco from 5he effects Of q dry or
heated atmosphere. Paper also ah-
sorbed the aroma Of the weed and was
not sufficiently lasting. Therefore tin
foil was used for w.sec.ppers. But it be-
came Costly and could only be rolled to
a certain thickness or thinness, beyond
which the ingenuity of man seemed to
find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to mashing the
tinfoil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up theproblem as unsolvable, when
a simple workman about the shop one
day, after rolling two sheets to the Gus
tomary thickness, put the two sheets to-
gether into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as they were before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
bat it created revolution in the manu-.
facture of tinfoil for tobaeconists' use
and made a mint Of money for the dis

Seeing pistances.

About 200 miles in every direction
is the distance a man can see when
standing on a clear day on the peak
of the highest mountain-say at a
height of 26, 668 feet, or a little over
FIVE miles above the level of the sea.
An observer must be at height Of
6,667 feet above sea level to see OBJ
iects at a distance of 100 miles. The
distance in miles at which an object
upon the surface Of the earth is yisi-
BILE is equal to the square root of II
times the height Of the observer in
feet above sea level. Some allow
ance has to be made for the effect of
atmospheric rGfraction, but as there
fraction varies at different heights
and is affected by the various states
of the weather no precisely accurate
figures for general purposes can be
given. Probably from one fourteenth
to one-tenth Of the distance given by
the formula would have to be deduct
ei, owing to the refraction Of the at
mosphere. Home Magazine

Tho ship of the Desert Under Fun Sail.

The Ship of the Desert Under Full Sail.
1t was almost a relief to turn from
these fantastic and semijocular trials
of speed and skill to the straightfor-
ward and almost appalling simplicity
of the camel race. No one who has
not seen the "ship of the desert" un-
der a press of sail, so to speak, can
have any idea of the number of knots
an hour which it can make, while as
to picturing to the imagination the
appearance of a fully extended"
camel the feat may be pronounced
impossible The finish in this race
was magnificent.
Three camels flew along neck and
neck-and such necks for full O.
hundred yards to within a few
lengths of the post, their ungainly
heads erect, their splay, disjointed
legs opening and shutting at each
stride like a dozen jackknives work
ed by machinery and their riders lit
orally waving fore and aft with the
violence of the motion as if a giant
was about to hurl them from sling.
How they held on nobody could see,
and Allah, the rnereifCl, the compass
sionate, alone knew. Some knelt,
grasping the brute's retorted neck,
some sat or crouched on the saddle
seat, some frankly extended them
selves almost at full length on the
animals mountainous dorsal ridge
and clrng to the hump as a ship
wrecked sailor to rock. It was a
sight to haunt the waking memory
and to ride the dyspeptic dreams. =

Fish is the chief article Of diet Of
the Japanese. Dried and salted it is,
with rice, the only food of the lower
classes. But every one is fond Of
fish, and there are a thousand ways
of dressing it daintily. Crabs are
killed by making them swallow a
bumper Of sake, which is probably
anything but pleasant to them, but
gives them a very delicate taste. The
spirit called shoyn, which is made of
the fermented juices Of several diff
ferent kinds Of grain, and which tastes
like Liebig's extract diluted with
brandy, seasons large fishes admir-
ably, but generally the japanese pre-
fer to eat them raw, and they are not

ROSA BoNHEuR's LION.
The Great French Artists Pet Model Which
Died In Her Arms.

Died In Her Arms.
Rosa Bonheur loves the animals
she paints and is in turn adored by
them. She showed her recent pur-
chase, magnificent lion, who purred
and writhed like a gigantic cat when
his owner fearlessly stroked his
mighty head. Then, showing the
head of a most superb specimen of
the African lion transferred to can
vas with startling realism, she tells
the story of Nero. He was her first
pet lion and was reputed untamably
ferocious and lived for several years
In the garden at By. AT lastone day
Rosa Bonheur was about to travel
and disposed of Nero to the Jardin
des Plantes. She parted with him
reluctantly, for he was a great pet
and would greet her always with
peculiar little note of welcome.
When she returned from her wan
derings, two years later, she went to
see Nero and beheld q sad sight.
The poor creature had not been so
carefully tended as he was used to be
at By. Ophthalmia had set in, and
the splendid brute lay blind and all
ing, unheeding the curious crowd
that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for moment and then
called ''Nerom The effect was mag
ical. The lion rose to his feet, ut.
tered his accustomed note Of well
come and sprang toward the well
loved voice with such impetuosity
that tte shock against the bars sent
the sightless brute rolling, stunned,
back on the floor. The great artist |
took him back, soothad his last days
with tendance and pettinG, and final
y he died in her arms at the foot of |
the staircase at BY, his huge paws
clinging to his mistress, as if implor.
ing her not to forsake him in his
death struggle, and his last move
ment being a feeble attempt to lick
the hands that held him with such
infinite tenderness. ''You see, :" said
Rosa Bonhour as she meditatively
rufled her new lions mane, TO be
really beloved by wild beasts you
must really love them. Paris Let
