acquainted with a man at my table
who said he was Snowman and that
he had his snakes along with him. I

A little yellow dog took 1t into it,
head to show the way down the
Strand and Fleet street for the king
and queen OF Denmark as they pro.
ceeded from buckingham palace to
the Guildhall to lunch with the lord
mayor.
In the middle Of the road ahead
Of the mounted police, gentleman

dog sedately trotted along. unmoved
by the cheers OF the crowds on the
sidewalks. apparently completely alb
sorbed in the discharge Of the i'm.
portant duty he had assumed.
The sensation he caused quite
overshadowed that aroused b. the
royal visitors from Denmark. Every.

few cheered the royalties whose

The soom.r.ns and. II. Inventors,

The boomerang is rather puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
OF mathematics had been laid under
contribution In the perfecting OF It.
The convexity on one side. the nat.
ness on the other and the sharp. knife.
like edge on the inside OF the con.
vexity have the air OF having been
carefully thought out Yet the people
who invented this singular weapon
cannot count higher than five and are
destitute OF all the arts and amenities
of life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane OF human life. Some people
have assumed that the boomerang was
the creation OF an older and hisner
civilization. but for this there is no
evidence. II must be the product Of
an age-long empirical use OF throwing
weapons.

Was the Result.

When Pete. the big orans outans,
took offense at the continual chatter.

kill, which got In recently from Ma.
nilla, Singapore and other parts OF
the far east, Capt Anderson did not
pay much attention to his protests,
says the New York Times. They
put him down as crank, and let it
60 at that. The vessel put into Bos-
ton some days ago, but before she got
there Pete had found his chance to
even accounts with his tormentors.
The brute broke out of his cage, and
before he could be captured had killed
four of the monkeys.
The Schuylkill left Manila on Feb
ruary IL, and her last port of call be-
fore arriving on this side was Algiers.
The orang outang and the monkeys
were brought on board at Singapore.
as were number OF snakes and
tiger. The orang outang was rather
docile appearing animal when the
Schuylkill got out into the Atlantic,
but he soon showed signs OF disliking
his travelling companions. The chat
tering OF the monkeys got on his
nerves, and his resentment increased
from day to day. Apparently the lit
tie family became aware of Pete's
aversion, for they rather took de-
light in poking monkey fun at him.
1t got 30 bad that whenever the big
orang outang came within their view
they greeted him with a chorus Of
monkey chatter and laughter.
The climax came when the vessel
was about four days from Boston.
Pete, 1t appeared later, had for some
time been quietly working on the bars
OF his cage, and about noon he got
out and started In to clean UP his
Objectionable nefghbors In the fiat
next door.
The first the officers knew Of Pete's
escape was when great hullabaloo
arose from the hold and out Of the OBJ
security below shot up the forms Of
three little black monkeys, their hair
literally standing on end. The Off.
GERS hurried below and there found
that Pete had torn of the front part
Of the monkey cage. and was engaged
In making short work of Its occu-
pants. Four he killed before he could
be driven from his task, and one who
had been unable to get out of the
hold was covering In fear behind pile
of freight. Ar
Such was the rage of the orang ou-
tang that before he could be cornered
he started after the escaped monkey.
Behind him came two OF the ships
crew. armed with stout sticks. The
double chase was continued about the
place before they cornered the angry
beast and forced him back into the
crate. 81
The monkeys that were left were
put back In their cage and 1t was
taken out OF Pete's sight. The rest
OF the voyage Pete passed behind
double bars.
