trouble In reaching n1onkeys.

An experienced animal trainer says:
"As rule, monkeys are easily trained,
but OCCASIONALLY there is one, as in the
human species, who is a Ounce, and
won't learn anything, is positively stu
pid and refuses persistently to become
educated. The trouble in teaching
monkeys is largely that they are mis-
chieVous. They try to overdo things
and do things which are not wanted
OF them, SO that in order to make them
perform as desired steady drilling is
necessary, although they grasp az
idea quickly. The only two species
OF animals which can be taught by pre-
cept and example are the chimpanzee
and the orang-outang. They are imi-
tators, and to instruct them in doing
a thing it is only necessary for the
trainer to do it first himself, and then
either one Of these will initiate him."

ITALY ASKS FOR PUNISHMENT.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Italian
government has signifed to the gov
eminent of the United States in the
polite and courteous method known to
modern diplomacy, wish that the
persons guilty of lynching the five
Italians at Talulah, La, last spring,
should be punished. Heretofore, in
cases of lynching of Italians, the mat
ter has been compromised by the pay
ment of an indemnity, but this does
not meet the present demand of the
Italian government As under the ex-
listing law the trial and prosecution of
such cases as this is left entirely to the
state authorities, the national govern
ment is well-nigh helpless to meet the
request of the Italian government.
The investigation made by the state of
Louisiana was so unsatisfactory that
the national government undertook
the investigation through its own
agents to learn the facts attending the
lynching. The result of the inquiry is
now on file. But the United States
government at present cannot make
the report the basis of any legal pro
ceedings against the lynchers. As an
outcome Of the embarrassing position,
the president will probably make fresh
representations to congress urging the
speedy passage of the pending bills in
tended to remove from state courts
jurisdiction in cases where persons
claiming treaty protection are the vic
Tins, and transferring jurisdiction
over them to the federal courts.
