to develop Sambos vocal organs.
After careful examination, Mr.. Buck
concluded that these were perfect and
capable Of the power Of speech. The
method employed to teach the monkey
to speak he s-not desirous of giving
in detail. he says, however, it con-
sists Of parts of each of the methods
used to teach birds, feeble-minded
children and the blind, deaf and
dumb.
Although Sambo is hardly of an age
TO grasp the advantage Of speech, his
trainer considers that even year of
unavailing effort will not be time
wasted, as he is confident chat as
Sambo grows older he will learn the
Language. At his present age, 2 years,
Sambo is very nearly as far advanced
as most babies, as he uses the words
'smamma' and scome back" Mrs.
Buck has petted Ssmbo to such an
extent that if she leaves the room he
will cry continually, Mamma" and
on her reappearance will say distinctly,
"Come back"
Mr. Buck admits it will require
time, labor and patience to get any
thing like vocabulary Of words, to
say nothing Of teaching Sambo to put
them together intelligently. While
his trainer does not hope to make an
accomplished orator of Sambo, he feels
very sure that within reasonable
time he will be able to show to the
scientific world simian who speaks
in the English tongue. Such sounds
as Sambo is learning to use are abso-
lutely foreign to the natural cultural
sounds Of the ourang-outang.
Mr.. Buck has made arrangements
with an East Indian trading house to
bring over Wild simian at least once
year, SO that Sambo may not forget
his mother tongue. Should the ef-
forts to educate the monkey to speak
prove successful, the time may come
when Sambo will act as interpreter be-
tween man and the missing link.
Sambo is what is known as a cage
bred animal. His parents were cap
tured when young and tanned in cage
by the Rajah of Somabaye. SoSambo
has never known a wild existence,
which may account for his genial and
tractable disposition.

Two Minds Changed.

'sThere goes party who will be
heard FROM, said Smith, pointing to
a young man who was going down the
street. "He has managed to keep his
head in love and financial matters. and
they are the two great tests.
"Two months ago he was a. young
man with all the world before him,
and with no prospects ahead of him
except a determination to fight LIES
battle.
'sHe was in love with a young lady
living in the city, but his financial
condition prevented him from declar-
ing his passion, besides he was not
sure that the young lady in question
cared for him.
"But by one Of those curious turns
Of TIE wheel Of fortune, an old aunt
that he had never seen died and left
him large sum of money. Without
delay he called upon the young lady
and asked her to marry him, saying
nothing about the fortune that had
been left him. He met with point
blank refusal.
"Two days later the girl heard Of
his unexpected windfall, and wrote
him note, saying: I have changed
my mind
s'His was just as short. 1t said:
so have I.'"-Detroit Free Press.

The Montgomery Advertiser says
the increase of consumption during
the past twenty years among those Of
the negro race in Alabama, as in
dica ed by the State penitentiary
records, is surprising. Probably one
half of the pardons issued by the
Governors during the last several
terms have been based on the fact
that the convict is suffering from
consumption. One day last week
Governor Johnston granted nine
pardons to negroes, the recipients
being reported to him by the ply
sician inspector as being incurably
afflicted with this disease.

The Stalest Bread.

OuUererS IRON indigestion are a0-
vised to eat stale bread, the ssaler the
better, they are told. There is in the
museum at Naples some bread which
ought to be stale enough for anybody.
Il was baked one day in August, 79,
A. D., in one Of the curious ovens still
to be seen at Pompeii. More than IS
centuries, therefore. have elapsed
since it was drawn 'sall hot" and indi-
gestable from the oven. So it may
claim to be the oldest bread in the
world. You may see it in 81 glass case
on the upper floor of the museum.
There are several loaves Of it, one still
bearing the impress Of the bakers
name.
In shape and size they resemble the
small cottage loaves of England; but
not in appearance, fo- they are as
black as charcoal, which, in fact, they
closely resembled. This was not their
original color; but have become car
BOMBED, and if eaten would probably
remind one of charcoal biscuits.
When new they may have weighed
about a couple Of pounds each, and
were most likely raised with leaven, as
is most Of the bread in Oriental coun-
tries at the present time.
The popular idea that Pompeii was
destroyed by lava is fallacious one.
If lava stream had descended upon
the city the bread and everything in
the place would have been utterly de-
stroyed. Pompeii was really buried
under ashes and fine cinders, called by
the Italians lapilli. On that dreadful
day in August, when the great erup-
tion Of Vesuvius took place, showers
of fine ashes fell upon the doomed
city, then showers Of lapilli, then
more ashes, and more lapilii, until
Pompeii was covered over to depth
Of Is and even 20 feet.
Other combustibles besides the
bread were preserved, and may now be
seen in the same room in the museum.
There are various kinds Of grain,
fruits, vegetables and even pieces of
meat Most interesting is dish Of
walnuts, some cracked ready for eating
others whole. Though carbonizcd,
like all the other eatables, they have
preserved their characteristic wrinkles
and lines.
There are figs, too, and pears. the
former rather shriveled, as one would
expect after all these years, the latter
certainly no longer "juicy.'' But per-
haps the most interesting relic in the
room is honeycomb, every cell of
which can be distinctly made out. 1t
is SO we'll preserved that it is hard to
realize that the comb is no longer wax
nor the honey honey.
A piece Of comb seems to have been
cut out, and one can imagine some
young Pompeiian having helped him
self to it and sitting down to eat it,
when he had to jump up and fly for
his life. One cannot help wondering
what became Of the piece-whether the
young fellow took it with him and ate
it as he ran, or whether he left it on
his plate, intending to return for it
when the eruption was over.

Thirst or Plants.

Haberlandt has calculated that an
acre of rye, during its growth and
development, absorbs 334 tons of water,
oats require $40 tons and wheat 489.
The water, sucked or pumped up by
the roots from the soil, traverses the
tissues Of the plant, depositing nutri-
ment therein, aud finally is evaporated
by the leaves. This process is called
Transportation. AS the soil furnishes
the supply Of water, that supply. in
order that the plant can develop itself
normally, ought to equal at least the
volume of water given off by the leaves.
Should this equilibrium be broken the
leaves droop, become dried, aud fall.
Not only does the plant lanqulsh du-
ring an insufficient supply of water,
but the energy Of its green matter cells
decreases. The assimilation Of carbon
ceases and the growth of the plant is
stopped. Its the same in rearing stock.
If badly fed the animal will be stunted.
The Transportation Of the plant is ten
times greater in presence of full light
than in obscurity, and during dull,
cloudy weather the Transportation is
one-half less than under the direct
action of the solar rays. Judge, then,
of the suffering Of vegetation when rain
is absent and the sunlight continuous:
Deherian has traced the rootlets Of
wheat to adepth of eighty inches in the
soil.

He can dress himself without assis-
eance, putting on his shoes and stock
ings as carefully as an orderly boy, at
meal times carrying his chair to the
table and Sitting up like regularly
recognized member Of the family, eat
ing his meals decorously and daintily,
with his napkin tucked under his
chin, and behaving. in short, with the
best Of table manners.
At night Sambo vii! sedately re-
move his clothing and climb into the
little white enameled bedstead pro-
yided for him, cover himself with the
bedclothes and dream blissfully of his
happy emancipation from the igno-
rance Of his ancestors.
Sambo breakfasts, lunches and dimes
on the food that Mr. Buck and his
family eat. He relishes vegetables
cooked in any manner, and all kinds
Of bread, pie, cake, cheese, and,
strangest Of all, he has learned to eat
meat and grown very fond of it. Nat.
uralists assert that the orang-outang
is vegetarian, but Sambo has never
had days illness since he has par
taken of a meat diet. All food given
to him is prepared in the same man
ner as that intended for the family.
The most interesting experiment is
