A development as intensely interesting
as 1t was entirely unexpected has oc-
Cured concerning the challenge for the
Americas cup. This is due 20 the action
Of Kenneth NJ. Clark, of Rothesay, Scot
land, owner of the cutter Kariad. Mr..
Clark has had three opportunities of
racing the Kariad against the Shamrock
/, and he has witnessed all the trials of
the two Shamrocks since the challenger
was refitted. His observations have led
him to donbt seriously whether the
Shamrock III is good enough to send to
American waters in challenge for the
cup. He has belief amounting to con-
Yiction that the Kariad is better boat,
length for length, than the Shamrock ii,
and he desires to see this question settled
before any yacht goes out as a challenger.
Accordingly he has challenged Sir Thorn
as Upton to series of races between the
Shamrock III and the kariad under
American racing conditions.

POCKET MONKEYS IN FAVOR
Diminutive and Engaging Pets That
Are Brought from the
WiIds of Brazil.

The latest fad in the way of pets is
the pocket monkey. 1t is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm, says the New York
Sun. Now his popularity has become
so great that the men who make bust
ness of catering TO the whims of the
people who like pets say that the de-
mand for the pocket monkey is five
times as great IS the supply. They pre-
dict a bright future for the new ia
yorite just as soon as the people down
in Brazil can be made to understand
what good commercial article they
have and thus be induced to make a
regular business of capturing these
monkeys and shipping them up here.
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior of Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is.
perhaps, the smallest member of the
monkey family known, being about
five feet long, but with a tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily of monkeys. and is extremely neat
in person and clearly of habit. If it
wasn't for these characteristics, he
would not be holding the place he
does in the hearts of those who have
invested in him.
I'VE can't get enough of them" said
a man who makes business of sell
ing pets. 81 have one here that have
been offered $50 for, but the average
price is $25. They are the finest little
acrobats I've ever seen. For instance
here's a cage made on purpose for a
pocket monkey. You will notice that
it resembles a miniature gymna SUM.
| There are trapeZes, horizontal bars ano
| all sorts of things of that kind. Now
| if the pocket monkey didn't find them
| in his house, he would be heart-broken.
Of course they don't perform just
| whenever one wants them to. but in
the morning, just after they have
walked up, you will find them doing
every conceivable gymnastic stunt
and if you don't laugh, you are a per,
| son with no sense of humor'

VICTORY OF THE CAMERA.
It Has Accomplished an Invasion Of
the Turkish Harem and Taken
the Beauties

The camera has won another vic
tory. 1t has invaded the Turkish
harem. The queen of the harem,
who, according to contemporary art
lists, spends her time reclining Ian
guidly upon gorgeous cushions,
famed by picturesque slaves, will be
shown in her habits as she lives, and
one more Arabian Nights" illusion
viii be shattered, says the Baltimor,
Sun.
OF course, it is expressly forbid
den that the photographs of women
shall be circulated outside of the fam
lily. but presumably feminine vanity
flourishes as well in Turkey as in
any other country, and the chances
that pictures will not pass beyonl
the harem are hardly worth the risk
of white chip.
The most famous photographer of
Constantinople is the only one to
whom the sultan has granted the
privilege of photographic the Turk
ish women, and it is safe to suppose
that he is an object of envy to his
less fortunate fellow-citizens. The
photographer is a recent convert to
Islam, and the sultan may have de-
cided to show him what could be done
in the line of hours by way of clinch-
ing his zeal.
