Clever Feats of q Chimpanzee.
Prof. Garner says that one of the
most intelligent ard quite the best
educated chimpanzee that he ever saw.

this ape would fill small volume. He

as tricks simply tc amuse and enter,
tain visitors, but many Of them he has.
: taken up of his own accord, having
seen others do so. The feat that inn
pressed me most was his skill in rid
ing a tricycle., and his taste for that
sport. He often takes his machine.
without being told, ard rides all about
the place; if he finds it lying on its
side, he sets it upright, adjusts the
handle bar, mounts. it and takes a.
ride. He propels it with ease and
guides it with dexterity. No boy of
his own ageseana handle it with more
skill. He rides all about the place,
around the walks and drives, all over
several acres of ground; he steers it
around the posts and corners, around
the. curves Of the paths, makes his.
way through crowds of people without.
colliding with them. He amuses him
self by the hour at this pastime.
When he tires of it he sometimes
shoves the vehicle up in one corner
and leaves it. E..s..
Consul also smokes cigar, cigarette
or pipe. He often finds a cigar stub
about the place, picks it up, puts 1t in
his mouth, and then goes to his keep

has is. that Of splitting; he is not very
skillful. in this, but he is persistent
