PHILADELPHIA'S SINGING APE
The Valuable Attraction Recently
Received in That City fTGnl the
Region Of Siam.


One of the most valuable and most
interesting arrivals i'll the zoo now be-
longs to the ape family and is some
times spoken Of as Gibbon ape. His
scientific name is Hylobates Agilis, and
the natives in his own country call him
the wou-wou. The Gibbons arc distrib-
;5ted through the eastern Part cf Asia
and on some of the large islands of the
archipelago. This one came from near
Siam. He is dark gray in color, his
fur as soft and smooth as velvet and
his little round head has sort of a
tufted crown of longer hair encircling
it. His eyes are very large and bright
and he is lively in his movements.
So far as intelligence goes, the Glib
bons are less noted for brains than
several other species, the hinder lobes
Of the brains being utterly undevcl-
Oped but they have an extraordinary
amount of animal cunning. They are
very hard to capture, and the one in
the ZOO is the only one In the world,
so far as is known at present, in cap
tivity. Superintendent Brown is now
WTIllnS an dTlICIe ueScIlpllfe VI IT'S
habits.
The distinguishing characteristic of
this specimen is that it is the only ami
NAL in the world which can sing. Its
full musical notes range in semitones
through an octave ormore and in ascend
ing ard descening the scale they are
perfectly taken. Darwin says: This
species is generally much excited after
its performance, and it is probably dur
ing courtship that it utters its most
musical sounds" But the poor, lone
some little fellow out at the ECO has 20
one to court, and yet he sings his little
solo over and over again for the bene-
fit Of his keeper and anyone else in hear
ing with a plaintive little melody that
is quite Observation-Disclosures Times.

JEWELS IN THEIR TEETH.
A Recent Extravogant "NOveIty"
Found to Be over Three Thou
sand Years of Age.

The New York s0ubrette who last
summer sought &C. tain class of adver-
tising or notoriety by having several
flashing jewels set in her front teeth,
will be panied TO learn that she has
achieved nothing new; that, in fact, her
little stunt" was quite common over
3,oC0 years ago, says the New York
Journal
In the recent explorations of Cojan,
''The Mysterious City Of Honduras" by
George Byron Gordon, many ancient
tombs were opened. The location Of
these was strange and unexpected
beneath the foundations Of courtyards
and under the foundations Of houses.
They consist Of small chambers Of very
excellent masonry, roofed, sometimes
By means of the horizontal arch and
sometimes by means of slabs CT stone
resting on the top OF the vertical walls.
In these tombs one, and sometimes
two, intcrments have been made. The
bodies have been laid at full length
upon the floor. The cerements had
long since nodded away, and the skele-
tons themselves were in crUnhlng
condition and give little knowledge Of
the physical characteristics of the pee
pie, but one fact Of surprising inter-
est came to light concerning their pri-
vate lives, namely, the custom of adorn-
ing their front teeth with gems inlaid
in the enamel and by filling.
Although not all Of the sets found
have been treated IN this way, there
| are enough to show that the practice
was general, at least among the upper
classes, for all the tombs opened, from
their associations with prominent
houses, seemed to have belonged to
people of rank and fortune. The stone
used in the inlaying was bright green
| jadeite. A circular cavity about one
| sixteenth of an inch in diameter was
| drilled in the enamel of each of the two
front teeth Of the upper row, and inlaid
with little disc of jadeite cut into a
! perfect fit and secured by means Of j
! bright red cement.

SIMPSONS MARRIAGE.
The Horses Noses Were Rubbed for
Luck, and Luck Certainly
Has Come.

The career ~ Admiral William e
Sampson is watched with special in
terest by some Rochester people, be-
cause they remember his marriage to
! Miss Elizabeth Burling 16 years ago,
One of them relates this incident of
the marriage as a sign that did not
fail. Tie carriage that was to con-
vey the newly-Wedded couple to the
train was standing in front of the
house, when the driver stepped up to
one of the young women in the bridal
party, tipped his hat, and gravely said:
Would you mind rubbing Tom and
Jim's noses, miss? It's good sign for
the new married pair"
The young woman smiled, but she
did as the driver asked her. Jim and
Tom drew ADMIRAL and Mrs. Sampson
TO the station, and they departed from
this city to take up their home in
Washington. Admiral Sampson was
stationed in the naval observatory
there, and had already made name
for himself. Admiral and RS. Samp
son frequently spent their vacations
il this city and in Canandaigua, and the
admiral's wife often said that rest
from the hustle of public life was what
they often cravcd, and that it was to
be found al it's best only in this region
near the great lakes. Five years ago,
when Admiral Sampson was in charge
of the United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Sampson, accompanied by
her two sons, Ralph and Harold, spent
the summer with her brother in this
city.
Mrs. Sampson is well-known among
teachers and instructors in this state
and when the state teachers conven-
/ tion was held in this city recently q
congratulatory message was sent by
James Lee, president of the associa-
ton, by the wish of the conven ton, to
Mrs. Sampson. The admirals wife
was at one time an instructor in Wells
college, Aurora, where she was vc. =
popular with her pupils. She is pro-
fcicnt in modern languages and can
speak French and Latin fucntly.
At the conclusion of her instructor
ship at Wells college she became a
member Of the faculty Of Vassar col
lege. Just before coming to Rochcs-
ter she was private instructor to Miss
Anita Mccormick, daughter Of Cyrus
Mccormick, of Chicago. Miss McCor-
mick afterU ard married a son of JaC-t2

The Kaiser Criticised.

IT is singular that Kaiser Wilhelm
should not have made any allusion to
the manly and noble Won Moltke dur
ing the whole of his funeral speech
flying. 1t was all my glorious grand
father" and Bismarck. The former
was undoubtedly a very amiable and
estimable old gentleman, devoted to
opera dancers, but there was less in
him TO admire than there was in Will
liam's father, Emperor Frederick,
whom he always carefully abstains
from mentioning. Won Moltke was the
real hero CT the Franco-Prussian war,
without whom neither Bismarck nor
my glorious grandfat ther" wcIld have

Forged works of Art.

Factories exist in Europe for the
manufacture of all kinds of works cf
art that are likely to attract the col
lector. Modern articles of china are
stamped with old marks so cleverly
that even experts have been deceived
Arms and armor are treated with acids
which eat away the metal, thus produc-
ing the same effect as the ravages cf
time. Carved fvcries are stained with
oils to make them yellow ard arc sub
jected TO heat to make them crack.
Pieces of furniture have holes drilled
to represent the worm holes, and so on,
until there will in time be very little
in the way Of curics which are in them
selves really curious. Paris is one Of
the greatest strongholds of this class
of forgers. Forgeries in all works Of
hands. AS a rule they are sent to
auction rooms. Many amateurs have
an idea that they may pick up price
less work of art CT curio for mere
song. Mr.. Wertkeimer laughs at this.
That is the chance for the forgers.
They know al this and work accord
ingly, and thus the amateur is deceived.
The spurious curio makers haunt out
of-the-way auction rooms, where anna
teurs look in with the idea that nobody
but themselves can know cf the room
in question. The sale takes place. and
they come away with gem, so they
think, and are perfectly happy until

HER CHANCES GROWING LESS

1t must be disquicting to those who

females, a disparity which need not

ranks next as a matrimonial market

81 females to spare. Scotland ias 1,C7@

CnrIr-Haired Jurors Arc Disliked.

1t is not generally known that there
is prejudice against curlyhaired men
when it comes to choosing a jury to
try criminal cases. The prejudice,
when it is manifested, comes from the
defense. When asked to explain the
objection to curly-haired men a prom
inent barrister recently said: "When
I was just starting my legal mentor
inculcated that idea in me. He said
that curly-haired men had almost in
yariably been the pampered darlings
of their parents, and in their youth
had been so used to having their own
way that they had come to believe
that everybody on earth was wrong
except themselves. In this way the
seeds Of opposition are sown, and when
they grow older they make it point
to disagree with everybody and every
thing. If everybody else on the jury
votes for acquittal, they vote for con-
viction as a matter of course. They
are as stubborn as the days are long.

jury when [ am defending a man if I
can see him in time. ."-Pearson's

Condition Of the Cars Army.

An American traveller who has spent
much time in Russia says the cZar's
peace proposals are unlikely to be
heard of On the frontier for several
months to come, consequently the
Russian army will not be seriously af-
fected. OF the army he says: 1t is
better whipped than fed. The rations
to each soldier are two pounds of
suchary, a small quantity Of salt and a
pint Of barley soup, made without
meat. On national holidays. such as
the birthdays of the emperor and en-
press, they have what they call high
living which consists of potatoes,
cOrned beef and pork. They are re-
quired to accompany their officers to
the cathedral, but before leaving the
guardhouse pass in line in front of a
great tub of vodka, each with a cup in
hand. This he fills to the brim, cry
ing out as he swallows it: Long live

Antiquity of the Protocol.

That instrument called protocol y
which stopped the war between the
United States and Spain, derives its
name from very ancient times. Like
many other English words derived
from other languages, protocol has
long since lost its original meaning.
1t is derived from the Greek "prOtos,"
meaning first, and "kollan," meaning
glue, and meant originally q sheet
glued in front of manuscript, bear
ing the writer's name and other par
jiculars. From this the meaning
evolved into that OF rough draft OF
document, and was so used by the Ro-
mans, who called it protocoIium."
The definition Of the word as used in
modern diplomacy is given as rough
draft on any document or document
preliminary to some transaction. 1t
is likewise defined as" "a diplomatic doe
ument or minute Of proceedings signed
by friendly powers in order to secure
certain diplomatic ends by peaceful
means" 1t is the meaning given be-
fore the last that must be applied to
the instrument signed by Ambassador
Cambon and Secretary Day. This is
a preliminary instrument created to
secure peace at once, and is at the
same time a rough draft of the prob
able future agreement. = Chicago
