The Way Hunters Capture the OrsnR
 Outnne Alive.

The Way Hunters Capture the OranR
 Outane Alive.
 Trapping the smaller members of the monkey family is a comparatively easy matter, but the hunter who wishes to secure live specimens of the orang outang cannot have recourse to the usual methods and has to employ laborious process. The process is based upon the fact that the orangs have a liking for certain trees and frequent these to the exclusion of other nearby growths. They seem to regard them as a sanctuary and fee to them in time of danger. Ascertaining a tree partic- ularly favored, the hunter first drives his quarry to it's branches; then while his beaters keep up a din for the pur- pose of preventing an attempt at es- cape the natives are set to work to chop at the trees within q radius of fifty feet all about the smian fortress. No trunk Is cut completely through, but is left with just enough fiber to hold the tree in position. This work is quickly accomplished with the large corps of servants, and at a signal one of the trees is toppled over. The chop ping has been so done that the falling tree carries with it it's neighbor, and in the twinkling of an eye the trees with in a radius of fifty feet from the mark ed tree lie upon the ground, leaving the orang outangs with no opportunity for getting away through their leafy avenues of escape. The remainder of the process simply consists of chopping down the tree of refuge and throwing nets over the escaping orangs, in which they soon become entangled in their efforts to throw off the incumbrance.

The Books of Ancient Rome.

In the time of Augustus Caesar books in the form of papyrus rolls, copied by overworked and underpaid slaves from the authors original manuscript, were abundant and aston ishingly cheap. Horace hints in one of his epistles that his works were being pirated and sold so cheap that they were getting into the hands of the rab- ble and becoming schoOlboOks. Mar tial, in one of his epigrams, says that a copy of his Thirteenth book may be bought for 4 nummi (abOut 15 cents), and that if Tryphon, the bookseller, should sell it at ? nummi he would still get a profit. Both Horace and Martial convey the idea that their pub fishers occasionally put out larger edi- tions than could be sold In the mat ter of editions de luxe, Martial writes that a volume of his epigrams 'polished with pumice stone and incased in pur- pie may be bought at Atrectus' for 3 denarii" (about 80 cents).-New York American.

Parrot Pie.

Parrot pie is one of the delicacies over which visitors to Australia rave. As the fruit season opens the parrots and parrakeets come by thousands, like locusts, and, settling on the trees, feed upon the fruit until nothing but the stones is left behind. They are shot while gorging themselves. The flesh, though very dark, is said to be deli cious in flavor and almost to taste of the cherries, peaches and plums on which the birds have fed. They are said to be more succulent than pigeons and altogether superior to the palate.

Here, you see, are the nine digits from 9 to 1 written down in that or der, and below them are the same digits from left to right, and you will see that each line makes 45, and you will find that the remainder-the third line-adds up 45.
 Another little exercise is to set down the following fifteen figures and then see if you can use six of them in such a way as to make a total of 21:

One way of doing it is to take the two 7's, one 5 and one 1, which make four figures, footing up 20, and then to use two other figures as fraction to represent one. For example, plus z plus plus plus 3-3 equals 21.-Balti- more Sun

NaIus of the Excursion to imperial

The chamber of commerce ana par tlcularly the committee Of the chamber of commerce which had the matter In charge, Is to be congratulated on the evident success of the excursion from the shores of San Diego bay to the Im- perlal country, now so far away, and yet so near by geographical lines, and so close to San Diego politically and socially.
 The excursion gave opportunity to those, at least, who joined the party, of whom there were one hundred and twenty five, to obtain evidence of what has been accomplished, and from that to make some estimate of what will be accomplished. The only regret Is that all the people of San Diego cannot be made to more fully understand the gl- gantlc enterprise underway there. Writ ten nor spoken words are not adequate to tell 1t. Only actual observation can convey even faint impression of what has been done, and no imagination can fully grasp the limits of what will be done. Six years ago, let 1t be remem- bered, the Imperial country was a blank desert. To-day it has popula- ton of about ten thousand people and has nearly four hundred thousand acres of soil under irrigation and cultivation, the greater portion being covered with the most productive crop known, alfalfa. In no spot in this country Is there greater prosperity than Is to be found ln Imperial valley-this hitherto desert waste, part of San Diego county.
 All this was certainly worth going $50 miles to see, and, as said, the re- eret Is that greater numbers were not able to make the trip. 1t Is easy to predict, however, that with the com pletion of the San Diego & Arizona railway, which will bring Imperial val lev within one hundred and fifty miles of San Diego-a run of only four or five hours-the excursions from the bay shore to that country will be ire ouent and will be attended by thous ands instead of hundreds. For, when transportation Is supplied, San Diego will help build up the Imperial country, and the Imperial country will help build up San Diego, and each will make a most remarkable growth because of the other.
 The present excursion will help pre- pare the way for that mutual growth, and therefore the effort to bring 1t about was most commendable. In fact this entire excursion business-the providing of advantageous facilities for inducing the people to get out and see the country-is to be commended, and should be continued.
