SIAMESE USE APES TO DETECT
SPURIOUS COINS.
CThe Independent. ]


In that far-of, dried-up little orien-
tai country, quite near China, you know
there are large quantities Of counter
felt coin in circulation, and the counter
feiters OF Siam must be most proficient
for we hear that it is the hardest thing
in the world to detect the bad rom the
good money.
The merchants are often deceived
and frequently swindled. The smartest
men they could employ were deceived,
, too, for the bad money was such q
wonderful imitation that the closest
scrutiny often failed to find the differ
ence between a good and bad piece.
In this dilemma some Siamese mer-
chants called to their help some one
who was always thought rot 60 smart
as a mana monkey. And these
Iarge apes of Siam" proved such a
success at their new avocation that the
custom Of employing them for the pur-
pose of detecting bad money has be-
come universal, The ape cashier of
Siam holds his situation without a
rival
He has a peculiar method of testing
CON-. Every piece is handed to him
and he picks up each bit of money, ore
at time, and meditately puts it into
his mouth, tasting it with brave DELHI
Grafton. If the coin is good he de-
clares the fact plainly. He takes it
from his'mouth and carefully places it
in its proper receptacle besides him,
He has pronounced judgmentand every
ore is satisfied that the Judgment is
correct.
But if the coin is bal the cashier
makes Known his verdict in an equally
unmistakable manner. he throw it
violently from his mouth to Ia 1oJr

Effects of the Weather of the Past
Week.
Washington, July 4.--The following
is the summary of the crop conditions:
.'The drought in the South Atlantic
States and in Tennessee is greater than
at the close Of the previous week and
rain is now needed in the Ohio Valley
and portions of the Lake region. Phe-
nomenally heavy rains have fallen in
central and eastern Texas, where
amounts ranging from two to twenty
one inches are reported, causing the
inundation of a large acreage of grow
ing crops. In the central valleys on
the Atlantic coast north of Virginia,
the central Gulf States and generally
throughout the Rocky Mountain and
Pacific coast regions, the weather con-
ditions Of the week have beeu favorable
Gas in the previous week, corn has
made very favorable progress in the
principal corn States, although begin
ming toned rain in southern Missouri.
The crop, however, is backward in
North Dakota, Wisconsin, and portions
of Iowa. In Texas. corn he's suffered
serious injury from overaows in the
central and eastern portions of the
State, but has otherwise improved.
"The harvesting of late winter wheat
has continued under fav rable wealth
er conditions in the more northerly
sections, the early crop being mostly
in shock in tie central Val eys and
middle Atlantic States.
The outlook for spring wheat, as at
the close of the previous week, is prom
Using, and the crop is beginning to head
in the southern portions of the spring
wheat region.
although the Ga crop is threatened
with damage from lodging in Iowa and
is being injured by chinch bugs in
Missouri and drought in-New York, it
has made favorable progress in the
central Northern districts,
"While cool nights have retarded
the growth of cotton to some extent
over the eastern portion Of the cotton
belt, and rain is needed in portions Of
the Carolinas, Tennessee and Arkansas
the crop has made good growth during
the week. The remarkable heavy
rains in Texas have inundated a large
acreage of cotton in the central and
southern portions of the State, but
elsewhere the crop is growing and
fruiting well.
Tobacco is suffering from drought
and insects in Kentucky and Tennessee
The reports from other tobacco States
are generally favorable except those
from portions Of the Carolinas and
Virginia, the crop being. irregular in
some sections of the last named State
and sustaing injury from worms in
