Fresh air seem to be good for mon.
keys as well as for human beings. In
the autumn of 1906 the Chicago health
commission suggested to the keeper of
the Lincoln park zoo that he put a
pair OF monkeys in the outdoor cage
for the winter. The keeper thought
that was a rash experiment, as mon.
keys seldom survive single winter in
Chicago. even with all the care that
can be given to them; but he pre-
pared the cage for them The mon
keys not only survived the outdoor
air, but were in better health in the
spring than those kept indoors.

Remains of Miss Vanderbilt OiscoV'
cred In Raritan Canal.
Princeton, N j., May 19.-The body
of Miss Bertha Vanderbilt, assistant
in the library of Princeton university,
who disappeared last week, was found
floating in the Raritan canal snort
distance from here.
The body was found by William
Bake and J. Wildwood Salte, two boy
campers, while they were rowing up
the canal. When they had reached a
point about half mile from the Car
negie lake aqueduct, into which 1t WIS
believed Miss Vanderbilt fell, they
found the body close to the shore.
Although parts of the girls clothing
are missing, there appeared to be no
signs of foul play A few slight scars.
which may have been received during
the five days the body was rolled along
the bed of the stream, were on the
face and forehead.
Miss Vanderbilt was last seen at the
aqueduct, and it is supposed that she
was drowned in an attempt to ford the
stream, which flows under the canal.
To cross on log is the only means
of saving a person a long roundabout
walk to Princeton after reaching the
aqueduct.
