POOLING AN APE.
His Curiosity ALWAYS Led to His Being

The Dis ape in the zoo needed exer-

lowed the run of the large monkey
house, instead of remaining in a side
room. before the visitors came. says
the Spectator. AS he knew he would
be caught and put back into his own
room at this hour the ape used to climb
up on to the top of the other monkeys
cages and refuse to come down. As
he could not be tempted by food. Mr.
Bartlett appealed to his mind by work
ing or what he had noted to be his
weak points, curiosity and cowardice
This is Mr. Frank Buckland's account
OF the daily proceedings at this hour:
Mr. Bartlett went to the keeper and,
touching him gently on the shoulder.
directed his attention in a mysterious
manner to the dark passage underneath
the gas pipe which trayerses the house.
pretending to point out to Sutton some
horrible unknown creature. using an
energetic manner, but saying nothing
except words to this effect: Look out
there he is-there he isl At the
same time the two men would peer in
to the dark place under the gas pine. 4"
The monkey used presently to come
down to see what the subject of fear
and interest was, when Mr.. bartlett
and Sutton used to shout: Hes com
ing ont, He's coming OUT" and rush
away in the direction Of Joe's cage. Tho
monkey would rush for the same place
of safety, which happened to be the
door OF his own house. and sometim S
enter it before them. Buckland notes
1t as curious that the monkey never
learned the deception, but would be
taken in by it whenever the time came
to finish his mornings airing.

Danger of Another Famine.

The provisioning of those Russian
provinces which have been most af-
fected by this years mad harvest IS
becoming a question of increasing diff
ficulty. The assemblies or zemstyos are
now celebrating on the special and
urgent measures to be taken for saving
the population of the threatened dis
tricts from a repetition of the terrible
sufferings which they underwent in
the last famine. There is general
agreement as to the necessity of lend
ing the peasants corn bought with the
special funds at the disposal OF each
of the provinces affected, but as the
needs of the peasants greatly exceed
these resources the assemblies have all
decided to ask the government for
very large loans of money.

A writer in the Gentleman's Maya
zine calls attention to the fact that real
jokes are few, but that, as they are
always suggesting their duplicates. hui
mOrists may still depend upon ringing
necessary changes and keeping the sup
ply good to the last Nothing is more
certain than that one anecdote does
bring forth another; and no one can
say whether a funny man deliberately
copies and revamps, or whether his
mots also are genuine. There is the
old story of British railway. \ trav-
eler had left his wrap in a railway
carriage. and the guard, opening the
door, inquired:
Is there black macintosh here? -
No" answered one OF the big High
landers inside. there is no black Mack
intosh, but there are six red Macgreg-
ors."
This story would almost seem TO
have been copied in another railway
story. A clerical passenger looked up

Trees and Men.

A single tree. according TO a COM
putation in knowledge, is able.
through its leaves, to purify the air
from the carbOnic acid arising from
the respiration of a considerable num-
Der of men. perhaps a dozen or even
a score. The volume of carbonic acid
exhaled by a human being in the
course of twenty-four hours is put at
about 100 gallons; but by BOpssin-
gaults estimate, single square yard
of leaf surface, counting both the up
per and under sides of the leaves, can,
under favorable circumstances, decom-
pose at least a gallon of carbOnlc acid
in a day. One hundred square yards
of leaf-surface then would suffice to
keep the air pure for one man, but
the leaves of a tree of moderate size
present a surface of many hundred
square yards.

blown down and the second efligy de-

two years a new canopy has just been

thing strangely fatal in the fortunes
