Cheap Swimming Pools.
IN Country Life in America

From Country Life in America.
The brook or running stream of natural
outdoor water gives a variety of chances
for the man who wishes to live his life
Alright. The brook can be converted, with
out being diverted. into swimming pool
for boys by building a dam at the point
where the banks do little extra shelving
and tend to form a natural basin. The bot
tom should be spaded out and made more
of RESERVOIR in its capacity and shape
The dam itself can be made by a family
of boys at the cost of the lumber and nails
involved. The entertainments are sodded
The sides of the spillway are made of
wooden posts driven into the ground and
boarded up. This makes a boxed-up affair.
or rather two boxes, one on each side of
the stream. These boxes are filled with
sand, rocks and sods to make a solid cubic
piece of resistance. The sodded embank-
ments run across the valley or depression
of the brook hollow to the higher ground.
BY means Of lever-a pole (playing into
a wooden-jawed socket and weighted with
a rock or pieces OF iron)-the watergate can
be opened against a strong Roadway of
water. The water flows over the top of
the spillway when 1t Is closed. and by
raising the gate the pond can be emptied
or reduced to the normal level of the brook.

MONKEYS AS SERVANTS.
Instances in Which They Are Said to
Have Been Valuable Assistants.

From London Answers
The cleverness and initiative faculty Of
the monkey have been utilized by mankind
in many ways during late years. and today
this hairy animal acts as clerk. servant,
laborer and tea packer in various parts OF
the world.
A female chimpanzee once went out TO
service at Loango, and made the beds
swept the house and assisted in the kitchen,
peeling the potatoes and turning the spit.
These feats are equaled, If not surpassed
by young monkey, the property OF sailor
on one of Britain's ironcads This animal
can turn the capstan and furl the sails as
we'll as any one He also assists the cook
in preparing dinner and is adept at boiling
eggs. Luckily the culinary arrangements
on board a ship are not quite as exactins
as those in a London hotel, or the monkey
assistant might find himself in somewhat
of a quandary.
Chinese monkeys for years past have as
sisted the natives in tea packing Their
labor is cheap. for they are more than con-
tented with payment in the shape of sun
dry luscious morsels.
During the rush to the gold fields OF
Yukon an enterprIslng miner carried five
Chinese monkeys to help him In gold wash
ing. The monkeys had been used 10 severe
cold and the extremes of rigorous ell
mate, and the gold searcher found his ami
NAL workmen most useful.
Some years ago a number Of British en-
gineers employed monkeys to assist the
workmen in carrying material to railway
extension in Cape Colony.
1t appears that a score of monkeys came
regularly every morning to the line to
watch the laborers at work, and the engi-
neers in charge, rightly believing that the
initiative faculties of the creatures would
render them useful in railway work. had
them captured. They were Immediately
put In training, and soon proved them
selves invaluable as carriers.
In Siam apes are now employed as cash
iers. A year or two ago much base coin
was circulated by a clique of coiners and
the tradesmen found that 1t was a very
difficult matter to discriminate between
good and bad money.
One large store kept a pet monkey, and
one morning he was to take coin
from the cashiers desk and put IT between
his teeth After biting It. for some mo-
ments lie threw 1t on the floor with a
solemn grimace of dissatisfaction.
The proprietor of the store then handed
the monkey another coin, and after testing
1t with great elaboration he laid 1t on the
cashiers desk. Apparently the creature
could tell a counterfeit coin from good
one, and in order to ascertain whether
other monkeys had the same extraordinary
gift a couple of apes belonging to a zoo
were given the test, with satisfactory re-
suits.
From that day the majority of the busl-
ness houses In Siam have kept monkeys as
ca shiers, and the gifted creatures have de-
veloped the faculty of dlscrimina ting be-
tween good and bad coin to such perfection
that no human being compare with
them

Inter-Urban Trolleys.
From the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore news.
In the development OF the inter-urban
trolley business Baltimore has hardly done
much more than scratch the surface when
comparison Is made with what some small
er cities in the west have accomplished.
Indianapolis which seems TO be the leader
.n this sort of development. has seven in
rer-urban lines. with ESQ miles Of electrical
railroad terminating in that city. 1t Is
estimated that last year these lines handled
100000 people. Besides this trolley bust
ness. It is to be remembered that Indian
apoIis is quite center for steam lines. and
has many other things that stamp ii as
among the more progressive cities of the
country. Yet with such showing and rep
utation its population is less than one-thfrd
that of Baltimore. Indianapolis got this
inter-urban trolley business through the
enterprise of the owners of the street rail-
way in that city. Instead of barring the
go tes this home company figured out how
ii could encourage these lines to bring
people to indianapolis. The result was
the building of the handsome terminal sta
ton and office building. This terminal IL
the greatest thing Of Its kind In the coun-
try and compares with the union ter
minals built by the steam railroads.

LONDON. July l. 1905
1t Is found that well-informed people here
regard the reports of Lord Curzon's resig-
nation as mere "feelers." thrown out to
test the state of opinion in this country.
That Is not to say that the reports may
not turn out to be true but the result will
depend largely. I understand, on events.
There Is no concealment here of the fact
that Lord Curzon has been badly disap-
pointed by the decision of the India Office in
the matter of the military member of the
council. But at the same time 1t Is pointed
out that Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener
are not in any serious disagreement about
matters of public policy, and In the clrcum-
stances Lord Curzon Is not likely to risk
exhibiting himself as a spoiled child
Little exception Is taken here TO the
composition of the commission which has
been appointed to inquire into the revela-
tions of the Butler committee. Ii was gen
orally expected that 1t would consist OF
only three members. but five Is not an un-
wieidy number while each of the individu-
ais selected will bring special gifts to bear
upon the elucidaton of the difficult and
complicated problems that confront them
as a body. Mr.. Justice Farweil Will make
an admirable chairman. He is SOUND ana
practiced lawyer and his long experience in
the court Oh CDdHteTS Will SHdpit iii-li ~
deal with knowledge and skill with the
peculiar commercial transactions unveiled
by the Butler report. Sir George Taub-
man Golde is an administrator of great
experience, and he was member of the
commission which examined the conduct of
the war, and issued that historic and volu-
minous report which shed so sinister and
appalling a light upon British military In
competency.
Sir George White has the obvious merit
of acquaintance with the locale OF the
transactions to be investigated. Sir Francis
Mowatt was until two years ago perma-
nent secretary to the treasury, and was.
therefore, the official head of the mulcted
department, the channel through which the
lost six millions flowed to the 'nebulous
personalities" in South Africa. Mr.. Hope
Morley was until lately governor of the
Bank of England. and is a careful and ex-
perienced critic of financial operations. 1t
Is undoubtedly strong commission, and,
as the terms of reference are wide enough
to admit of complete and thorough in
yestigation there is every reason to hope
that the secrets left untouched by the But
Ter committee viii be finally and fully re-
vealed.

Russia has long Established military

fanciers to organize service Of these
birds In outlying districts. This last
move on her part has already borne
fruit, messages having been carried
out Of beleagured Port Arthur BY
these birds. The Russians were en-
abied to accomplish this owing to their
having previously collected the pigeons
