MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle a
 Fire with Them.

But Has Not the intelligence to h1ndle
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire An African traveller, indeed. has told a story of apes making thiev- ing raid on a camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly we'll This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. lie Las learned to hold the match hy-its middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt t.; scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than a smooth one, and his care in looking for the roug,, places is very diverting..
 But with all these inteiligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound
 Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a
 dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will sup port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into
 town and collect your rents. Terms, cash 5 in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

this morning, which was the most i'm

of railroads ard telegraph and capital pun
