MAY BE THE MISSING LINK.
From an Exchange.

New York. Sept. ia cablegram
from BRUSHES says:
The Soir states that new animal,
resembling a monkey, but much near
err in habits and culture to man, has
been discovered in Java. A merchant
named Van Buren,, happening to get
lost in a forest, was obliged to spend
the night under a tree, on which he
discovered a giant nest with circular
opening measuring Is inches in di-
ameter. This nest was occupied by a
family of animals much resembling
the ordinary monkeys. with the diff
ference that their heads were covered
with long brown hair.
"Afer his return to civilization M.
Van Beuren told an American scien-
fist. DIR. Werdehouse, of his discovery,
and they returned together to the spot.
where they spent several months
studying the habits of the animals
Contrary to the custom of monkeys,
these animals, which the natives call
"asch perrizi," are very fond of bath
ing, and the females usually adorn
their necks with collars made of fruit
kernels. They take good care of their
little ones, but do not seem to be
prolific and are near extinction. The
mothers rock their little ones, sing
ing like human beings, in an arti-
culate language of very few words.
They eat fruits, birds eggs and fish,
and like to be near fire, although
unable to light one.
Or Werdehouse has been unable
to capture any of the animals and had
not the heart to kill one, even in the
interest of science. A scientific eX-
petition has been formed to explore
the island and capture one of them If
possible.
