CHASE AFTER ESCAPED SIMIAN
Pig-Tailed Tree Person Creates Great
Excitement at Noon Hour-Big
Crowds Gather.

4 blue monkey with a pink tail. wearing
a coating of coal dust and "a peach basket
hat. was captured in a millinery store on
G street near 18th. at noon today. The
animal got it's remarkable coloring in a
dye shop and the coal dust in a bin where
il had spent the night. Incidentally. the
simian had poor time during it's twenty
four hours of liberty from a 10th street
bird and animal store.
The monkey. which is of the pig-tailed
variety. made It's escape yesterday after
noon. 1t was in charge of a colored man
recently employed by the proprietor. The
animal made move toward the man. and
with a yell he fled, permitting the monkey
to leave by the front door
Neutrality-suspicious. Chase.
The chase after the animal today was a
continuation of a long pursuit last even
ing. The monkey spent the night in a
coal bin in the basement of the Worch
piano establishment. When 1t first made
it's appearance on street between 18th
and 18th streets today the animal was
as black as charcoal from coal dust.
After visiting several establishments OH
that street and badly frightening women
and children the monkey finally entered
a millinery store near 18th street.
the women clerks ran screaming in every
direction. The proprietress vacated her
place of business and stationed herself
in q store across the street, whence she
directed the monkey hunt by telephone.
Liked Fashionable Lids.
Spying a green and red paroquet on a
winter hat. the monkey made for the bird
and was toying with it when the pursuers
entered the place. Then it made flying
leap into lot of hats and bonnets and
created havoc with the feminine headgear.
The hunters closed in on the busy pig-tail-
ed simian and it sought refuge under a
plate glass show case. After much diff
Guilty Alexander Schmid and Tony GULL
succeeded in getting hands on the animal
and its outing or nearly twenty-four
hours was at an end The lone police
man used his baton freely In trying to
poke the monkey out of its place of con-
cealment.
It required the services Of several police
men to restrain the crowd on the side
walk. Many of the men and boys in
sisted upon entering the millinery store
and taking a hand in the capture. The
animal when seen in it's cage this after
noon was considerably the worse for
wear.

ABOUT CEMENT TILE,

It is only justice and fairness to
those contemplating the drainage Of
wet land to speak another word OF
warning touching the use OF cement
tiles in the manufacture of which the
proper kind Of clean. sharp sand has
not been used or which do not con-
tain a sufficient per cent Of cement to
give them strength and durability.
Within a fortnight We have heard one
who is interested in a square deal for
the user Of tiles say that short time
since he saw cement tiles of this shOd-
dy description taken from the ditch all
gone to pieces which were laid but
eighteen months ago. The worst fea-
ture about the matter is that one who
is not acquainted with cement tiles
cannot tell ut glance whether they
are properly made or not, while the
putting of them in the ground to find
out is altogether too expensive an ex.
pertinent for the average man to mon
key with. In view of this situation it
follows that the only safeguard that
one can have in purchasing cement tiles
is the character and experience of the
man who has made and offers them for
sale. Makers of clay tiles concede that
cement tiles. properly made. are as
good as clay tiles, and this is quite q
concession for a competitor to make,
but no sHch authority as this need be
cited to prove that poor cement tiles
are not worth a continental-in fact
are, II Laid, a good deal worse than
nothing.

CORN AND CHOLERA.

Hog raisers the country over are put
ting two and two together in the mat
ter Of excessively high prices Of corn
and absence Of hog cholera and draw
ing some deductions that ought to be
OF value for a good many years to
come along the line Of the connection
between the health Of the hog and the
food ration which it is given. 1t has
been observed during the past eight
cen months-an interval which has
seen scant feeding of corn owing to
high price-that there has been an al
most total absence Of the swine plague
In sections where corn has constituted
the chief feeding and fattening ration.
The net result Of this situation has
meant an enormous saving to hog
raisers. and this whether the connec-
ton between feed and animal health is
as close az held by some or not.
There is surely enough in the theory to
make careful study and comparisons
Of feeding conditions in different sea-
sons worth while. 1t has been a mat
that the worst outbreaks Of cholera
have usually followed on the heels of
an inordinate stuffing of young pigs
with green and immature corn. the
plague finding fertile soil for develop
ment for months after in droves OF
hogs whose health had been weakened
as a result Of this irrational method OF
feeding. If it turns out. therefore
that the feeder can just as we'll sell a
part Of his corn and at the same time
save his hogs. it would seem clearly in
his interest to do so.

THE ORANGE SCALE.

The California orange grower has
lately had to cope with one of the
most serious pests which have troubled
him-the orange scale. which has ap
peared in several colors and is anal.
ogous to the San Jose scale. Usual
methods OF spraying with bordeaux
or lime-sulphur solutions seem to be
ineffective. The method at present
followed Is to cover the trees with a
tight canvas and give a thorough fumi
cation with hydrocyanic acid gas. one
of the most deadly volatile poisons
known. which is sure death to al
forms of animal or bacterial life witt
which 1t comes In contact. The proc
ess is tedious and expensive one. a.
1t takes some time to treat each tree
but 1t is the only way out for those
who hope to produce an orange croE
which will pass muster at the pack
ing house.
