Monkeys as Coin Testers.

1t Is said that the great ape Of Siam
is in great request among the Siamesc
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities Of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Siam, and no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no
trained banker can compete with them
in their unique avCcation.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests 1t with
grave deliberatiCn. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making up his de-
cision. If the coin is all right, 1t is
carefully deposited in the proper re-
ceptacle: if base, it is thrown violently
to the floor, while the coin tester
makes known his displeasure at being
presented with the counterfeit by CIV
ing vent to much angry chatter.

only to the tip of the nose, but this is

Road BuiJdiAg With Prison Labor.

CalifOrnians actively interested u
the subject Of constructing good roads
have an object lesson in the work done
in BrOpme County, n. Y. which they
might do well to initiate for the bene-
fit Of the roadways in this State. The
methods used were explained to the
Buffalo Good Roads Congress by Frank
w. Leyon. Of Binghamton. N. Y, the
coInty-seat Of Broome County. The
great desideratum in the construction
of better roadways was determined to
lie the best method of getting the work
done at minimum cost, and they
solved it by taking advantage of law
on the statute books Of New York,
authorizing the employment CT prison
ers In the county Jail. Under favora Bile
resolutions of the county and city au-
thorities, they began by setting the
prisoners at work breaking stones by
hand for material. AS this worked to
poor advantage, the good-rOads league
purchased crushing machinery--ope.
rating it with the prison labor. which
gets out the stone. crushes it. and turns
it over to employed laborers. who con-
struct the road.-San Francisco Argo-

Heeswax Good "a Cash.

why hardware stores handle bees
vax was explained The other day by
prominent Chambers street wholesale
dealer. 1t appears that all through tne
south, as well as in other parts OF the
country. the tin peddlers swap their
wares for beeswax, which they get
very cheaply.
They make a nice profit on their tin
ware in the trade. and they also get
nrofit on the beeswaX when they turn
II over to the retailers in hardware
The wax passes from them to the
wholesale hardware rlen in the cues
and they ship it in barrels 10 ne"
York. Often there are received notices
from customers that they have shlppeu
a certain number of barrels to apply
OH account. Beeswax is always q
staple article and in the trade Is just
as good as cash at all times.
Like many other goods, 1t sometimes
nuctuates in price, but there Is al
ways a ready demand. Before the pat
ent hives and honeycombs came into
use some years ago the wholesale price
of wax was twenty-five cents pound.
Where large numbers OF bees are Kept
tbe patent comb was used, and the con-
soouence was that the bees did not
have to manufacture any COMB, ana
IN the course of year the production
of wax decreased SO much that the
price went up TO seventy cents pouno
wholesale. 1t even went higher than
tha for a while, and then it Tell again

An elephant catcher rather than a
cow catcher seems to be needed in In
dia. On the railroad between Bengal
and Assam, according to the Railroad
Gazette, as the superintendent Of the
line was making an inspection trip.
while passing through the great Nam
bar forest. the train came to a stop
with a jolt that threw the travellers
out Of their berths. The train had
run into a herd Of wild elephants
which were trotting down the track.
the last of which had both hind legs
broken and was thrown into the ditch,
while the engineer counted seven 9TH
ers which got away. This is not the
first time that wild elephants have got
on the track, and ordinary fences and
cattle guards are no protection.-Sci-
