Professor farnCrS recent discoveries

the famous traveller. DR.. Mcgowan.
The doctor AYERS that there is Il race
of monkeys inhabitng the mountain re-
gion of the Great Wall of China, that
have made extraordinary progress in
the art of making wine.
A recent edition of the official history
of Iungpng states that lately large
body of migrating monkeys passed a
certain village in crossing from one
mountain to another, The boys of the
village clappod their hands and shouted
at the spectacle, and the monkeys,
being frightened, fed, taking their
young in their arms, but dropping in
their flight Il number of earthen vessels,
some of which would hold a quart. On
opening these the villagers found that
they contained two kinds of wine, a
pink and green, that had been made
from mountain berries. 1t is affirmed
that the monkeys store this liquor for
use in the winter when the water is
all frozen.
DR.. MacgOwen cites other independ-
ent testimonies to similar facts, includ-
ing a Chinese account of monkeys in
Chegang, who pound fruit in stone
