The Monkey Counted to Three.

But as regards animals being able
to count, a case ice came under my
notice where it was proved that mon
keys could count up to three, but no
further. A Colonel Bowker, one Of
Natal's most enlightened and enthu-
siastic n~aturalists, was once staying
at a hotel near Durham, close to which
was the oblong patch cleared in the
bush and planted with mealies. which
were ripe, the stalks being higher than
a mans head. Monkeys were annoy.
ing the proprietor by making C
sions from the bush into the field.
and throwing down about fifty times
as many cobs as they tackled inter-
nally. Colonel Bowker, who firmly be-
lieved that monkeys could count only
up to a certain number, took three
friends with him into the field with
guns, openly. Naturally the monkeys
were not taking any lead just then
But shortly one man walked out with
his gun over his shoulder and made
straight for the hotel; a second did
ditto and then a third. Then the
monkeys went for that mealie patch,
with, of course, the inevitable result
that same of them did not leave it

Brush Without RristIes.

In recent years scientists and der.
matologists have discovered that dis.
eases of a certain nature, such as ecze-
ma seborrhoicum, are Of microbe
origin, and, therefore, contagious to
a very great extent. and it is we'll
known fact that the excessive dandruff
is nearly always due to the presence
in the scalp of a vegetable parasite.
Stringent laws have been promulgated
at different places, tendig to insure
cleanliness and freedom from conta.
gion in barber shops and hairdressing
parlors, but according to some authori-
ties in matters of this kind, it has
been difficult tt make much progress
along these lines, for the eason that
1t is practically impossible to sterilize
the ordinary bristle brush without
running It.
In orSlr to overcome this constant
source of danger a substitute for the
%hair-brush has been devised. The
principal object Of the invention is tc
provide an article which will perform
all the ordinary functions of the bristle
brush, but of such shape and construc.
ton as to be wholly n~on-absorbent
and capable of rapid and effective
sterilization.
The article is constructed of rubber
or metal, and the surface bearing the
teeth are of such shape as to be soft
and yielding, so that the action Of the
teeth are in every way the same as
that of the bristle of a %hair-brush.
