MONK sTowAwAY ON SHIP.

Struggled Himself on the KjeId and
Lived Long ON Bananas.
When the steamship Kjeld, coming
this way with 10000 punches Of ban
anas and $50 bags Of cocoanuts, was
two days out from port Antonio. the
date being Oct. 10. the first mate dis
covered a strange creature In The for
ward hold. 1t was a-no, hold on, it
wasn't a big tarantula with hair on
its legs and it wasn't a green snake
the same as all banana ships have
abOard-it was little brown monkey
with wise little old face that looked
as If 1t had worn out several bodies
and long prehensile tail with a crook
in the end like an Interrogation mark
upside down, says the New York
World.
The monk had had a-plenty to eat
the piles of empty banana skins upon
the deck Of the hold proved that-but
he was thirsty for a fact The mate
called the watch to capture the little
stowaway, but the monkey had another
idea about that.
He skipped from banana bunch to
banana bunch as briskly as a water
bug on a mill pond. Just when the
men had about given up hope of catch
Ing their simian passenger Long Jim,
a 16-year-old mess boy, came along the
alley on his way to the galley with a
bucket Of water on his shoulder.
With one jump the monk was on
Long Jim's head, taking a drink out
Of the bucket. He was still soaking in
1t when the first mate grabbed him by
the scruff Of the neck.
Inside Of day the monk was tame.
He developed a fondness for Long
Jim that made everyone think of the
Damon end of the famous Damon and
Pythias sketch team of ancient time.
When the Kjeld arrived and Long Jim
prepared to reship for his home in
Sweden he wept so bitterly at the
thought Of parting from his monkey
friend that Capt. Helleson gave Jim
the monk and they sailed together

IN THE LANDS OF SNOW.
Keeping Warm Is the Main Businosi
of the People.

Keeping Warm Is the Main Bushnell
of the People,
With the big, restless, energetic world
outside Of this tropical belt, however.
the matter of keeping warm is ever
present, troublesome and expensive,
throughout half Of each passing year,
says the National Magazine.
As a matter Of fact, the world Of hu.
mainly dwelling in stoyeland never has
been, In all the ages, really and CON.
fortably warm In winter. It Is largely
our own fault. Mankind Is the only ami.
NAL which employs fire in the effort to
survive the cold of the winters. The
hardy lower animals do not need II
however much their luxuriously ener.
waited representatives, the dog and the
cat, may enjoy 1t, when they have
chance.
Ancient man only got himself rid Of
his provident coat of hair and his SUM-
Client latent heat when he began to loaf
around the family cooking stove and alb
serb the intoxicating comfort Of artii-
clal warmth. This far-away ancestor is
responsible for the fact that the pres
ent-day human being, outside OF the belt
aforesaid, is obliged to keep close to
thermometer registering nearly or quito
70 degrees Fahrenheit from October to
May, besides which he must needs wear
extra clothing. This, also, is an inner
tied habit.
A traveller west once asked a half
naked Indian in midwinter how he man
aged to stand the weather. The Indian
replied: Your face no got a coat. It
no cold. Indian face all over"

ELECTRIC POWER in AERlcA.
Plan to Transmit Current 745 Miles
Is Not Approved.


Plan to Transmit Current 745 Miles
Is Not Approved.
1t is gratifying to note that the tech
meal press has sounded a note of warn
Ing against the preposterous proposal
to generate hydraulic electric power at
the Victoria falls Of the Zambesi river
and transmit it over a distance Of 745
miles for use in the gold mines Of
johannesburg, says the Scientific Amer
lean. But, although the proposal to
deliver this power at a figure that
would be at once economical to the con-
sumner and profitable to the company
has been ridiculed by the technical
press, the lay public is liable to be mis-
led by the scheme, which on the face
Of 1t would seem to hold out flattering
prospects of success
At the present time the most import
tant transmission Of energy for com
mercial purposes is that from Niagara
to Buffalo, where the distance covered
does not exceed twenty miles. The long
est transmission, according to present
information, Is that which Is In sue
cessful operation In California, over a
distance Of about 22O miles, so that
the proposed transmission line in
South Africa will be $40 per cent longer
than anything that has yet been con-
templated.
According to Prof. william e. Ayr
ton, who not long ago made a severe
criticism of the scheme in the London
Times, the johannesburg mining dis
trict consumes about 10000 horse
power at an average cost of 500 a
horse power year. Niagara sends
4,0O0-horse power to Buffalo, where 1t
is sold at about $125 horse power a
year, and Buffalo, as we have noted,
is distant from Niagara, only twenty
miles.
Furthermore, in the neighborhood Of
johannesburg are abundant supplies Of
coal, Of which an excellent quality can
be delivered on the Rand for from
$3.50 to 81 a ton. Even If the Victoria
Falls plant were to be built and great
transmission line constructed it is not
likely that the important mining Indus
tries in johannesburg would be willing
to trust the operation of their costly
plants to the Integrity Of few copper
cables extending for over 700 miles
through the wilds Of a savage country.
