HUMAN MONKEY OF AVA
Professor HReekeI Gives Some Inter
eating Information About the
Strange Animal.

-
Prof. Haeckel's latest publication
contains some curious information
about the human monkey of Java, a
most interesting specimen of which
was watched by Prof. Haeckel'at his
own house in Java, writes the London
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The species is found only in
Java, and is called hylobates leuciseus.
The natives call it GA on accoun Of the
characteristic sound it utters. When
standing it is scarcely taller than a
child of six years. The head is com
parativeiy small, and it has a small.
slender waist. The legs are short and
the arms much longer. The face is
more human than that of the orang-
outang. Prof. Haeckel says:
Its physiognomy reminded me of
the manager of an insolyent bank
bordering with wrinkled brow over the
results of a crash. Distrust of the GA
toward all white Europeans is very
noticeable. On the other hand, he was
on terms of intimate friendship with
the Malays in our household, especial.

'Huite, huite,' a sound altogether diff.
ferent from 'oa, Ca with which he ex.

Of these human monkeys has not many
different sounds, but they are mod.
ulated and altered in tone and strength
with a number of repetitions. They
also use many gestures, motions with
their hands, and %grimaces, which are
so expressive in manner that a careful
observer can detect their different
wishes and various emotions.

oranges just as we are accustomed to
do, holding the fruit in his left hand.
Most of the Malays do not regard the
GA and orang-outang as brutes. They
believe the former are bewitched men
and the latter criminals who have been
changed to monkeys as a punishment.
Others think they are men In the

Those who do not care especially for
mosquitoes, but who also see harm
in the coal oil used for their destruc-
ton, recommend that instead of the
latter certain breeds Of night birds
that feed largely on these insects be
introduced and protected.
p. Carmody presents in the Journal
of Tropical Medicine the sketch of a
mosquito net designed for the use of
travellers in the tropics. 1t is either
attached or attachable to the ordi-
nary linen umbrella that forms a part
of every tropical outfit, and the com.
bination affords protection from the
sun during the day and from mosqui-
toes during the night.
The efficiency of oil-engines (that is,
engines in which the impulse is derived
from the explosion of oil-gas and air)
is increasing daily. Not only is the
regulation greatly improved, but the
consumption of oil is decreasing; also,
the size of the engines is increasing,
so that they are now formidable rivals
of the steam engine, especially in port
able work.

The TrniIinr aLIr4

There has been much talk lately of
street sweeping by women's skirts.
Concerning the "arresting and dis
carding of the various objects which
the pavement may present" the Hos
pital says: "We lately watched the
gradual conveyance, from the neigh
borhood Of Regent circus, Oxford
street, to the door Of the Langham
hotel, of an inexpressibly filthy piece
OF newspaper, covered with CRIME and
saturated with grease, which had
probably been used to wrap up the
broken vietuals of some tramp, and
had been discarded by him when that
Office had been fulfilled. No less than
five skirts were required for the indi-
Gated journey, and WI much regretted
that a more important engagement
prevented us from devoting an hour
or so to the fuller travels Of the dere-
liet."

SALT LAKE BATHING pERILs.
Many People Drowned by Being
ChOked with the E~vADorAted
Brine.

81 have never seen the Atlantic or the
Pacific ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, but
have had some experience with salt
water, nevertheless, said George Y.
Russell, of Park City, Utah, to a Wash
ington Post man. He is an official of
the great silver mine near Park City,
which extends deeper han any other
in the world.
''Salt lake is a remarkable sheet of
water in many ways, and bathing in II
possesses features which are unique.
II is very i~nvgorating and refre shing
to be sure, but it takes some time I
become accustomed to the e%xtraordi-
nary buoyancy Of the water. 1t is
quite impossible to sink or to drown
in the lake, but many people have
been killed by the water. When there
is a breeze and spray is dashed upon
bathers, the water is so d~ensely inn
~pregnated with salt that the liquid por-
ton evaporates very quickly and leaves
a deposit OF salt on the skin.
ION several occasions people have
drifted out while bathing or been
wrecked and thrown overheard and
afterward found dead on top Of the
water, choked 10 death by the accumu-
lation Of salt IN their mouths and nos
trils. Ordinary salt water bathing,
as | discovered to-day, is very different
from that in the Salt lake. j learned
that could enjoy saltwater bathing
at Chesapeake beach, and took a trip
there. 1t is certainly very pleasant to
battle in water that is salt, but not so
salt as in Utah. But the ~accommoda-
tions for the bathers at Salt lake far
surpass, so | am told, anything in
America"

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
Occupy an Important Place in the
Educational system OF the
Country.

The school savings bank has grad
ually come to occupy an important
place in this country's educational
system. While it is nowhere obliga-
tory that teachers or school officers
shall assume these new responsible
ties, they in many cases have volun-
teered to adopt the plan when it's
benefits have come to De understood.
In many parts of the United States,
and especially in the west, the recent
development of the school banks has
been rapid. California has estab-
lished the system in a number of
towns and cities within a few
months, and there are indications
that the practical teaching of les
sons of thrift IA the public schools
may soon become general, says the
Philadelphia Times.
1t is stated by the statistician of
this movement that there are now
3,5Ss school banks in the United
States, which have 63,567 depositors.
The amount deposited in these
schools since the work was estab-
hshed is placed at $4,000 and the
amount remaining on deposit on Jan
uary l last was $355,000. 1t is doubt
full, however, II these figures are COM
plete. In Montgomery county, in this
state, where the work seems to have
advanced farther than in any other
section of the country, the scholars
have deposited in about ten years no
less than $175, 900. and on January 1
last 1000 depositors still had in bank
$40,6ts. In Atlantic City the deposits
smounted to $6,37e during the last
school year,

The pigeons at st. Paul's cathedral
are considered to be one Of the sights
of London. In Paris the birds are ap-
parently not looked upon with much
favor, and would seem to be regarded
as a nuisance. The authorities Of the
Church of st. Sulpice waited upon the
local police commissary recently and
asked whether nothing could be done
to prevent the increase Of pigeons in
the church. He declared that the birds
were at first made welcome, but they
increased at such an alarming rate that
the place was infested with them. Dur
ing divine service they made such a
noise hat they interrupted the pro-
cee6ings, and there were daily COM
plants concerning them. The police
commissary pointed out that he could
hardly send his constables to arrest the
birds. The only course ne advised was
to set traps, as it would not do to have

Six-Year Old Daughter Seems to Have

Not Proecute In the Matter,

On October 1885, l was married
to Jennie Starder in Omaha, and have
two children by that marriage. My wife
is still living, so far as l know. and
m not divorced from her.
"On October IS, 1901, l went through
a ceremony of marriage with Jessie
Hopwood OF Salt Lake City, in St
Paul's Episcopal church."
The above extraordinary statements
are embodied In an a8davit made by
John Shouse, who came to this city
ton of coachman to Banker w. S
Mccormick, says the Salt Lake Tele'
gram.
Mrs. Shouse No. 2 is a daughter OF
Mrs. Elizabeth Hopwood Of 80 Center
street. Shouse her heart soor
after he came to Salt Lake. He told
her that he was a widower with two
children. who lived with their grand
parents In Omaha.
Shortly before his wedding in this
city Shouse went to Omaha and brought
back his 6-year-old daughter, Mildred.
The child seems to have let out the
fact that her mother vas still alive,
and this gave rise to Shouse's confess
sion, which was obtained by Attorney
Wanless, under promise that the sec
ond Mrs. Shouse would not prosecute.
She will have the marriage set aside
as soon rs possible.
