Trapping EaboonS.

Hasenbeck IN his book says that bab-
oons are caught in traps made much
Ike the huts Of saraSes. Food is put
into the huts. and once the baboors go
inside 9 trapdoor closes behind them.
Outside baboons make q great to do
and urge the prisoners to escape.
When the traprers come the captured
baboons are terror stricken and try to
force their heads through the walls OF
the huts. One baboon was caught
three tines in the same trap. and sew
eral when turned loose got back :nto
the same trap a second time. When
the baboons are carried away all their
comrades thereabout climb into srees
and scream out to the prisoners. who
answer In sad. mouroful voices. On
one occasion some big Arabian bah
oons were trapped. when 1000 or 5000
baboons hurled themselves upon the
trappers. who bad hard work to save
themselves with firearms and clubs.
AS the trappers were forced back the
victorious baboons tore up the trap
and turned loose the captured babooas.

Punishment Cor Perjury.

Perjury is crime more severely
punished in Germany than in any 9TH
er country in the world. Even an ap-
parently trivial uisstatement under
oath carries sentence Of ten years In
prison. Excepting murder. there are
few crimes that carry as heavy q pen
atty as perjury. The German theory Is
that the entire system OF jurispru-
dence rests on the respect for au oath
administered under the forms Of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
in order to secure the punishment OF
other crimes and insure justice In civil
cases. Germany stands ut one extreme
and the United States at the other.
Fewer people are punished in the
United States for false swearing IN
the witness box than In any other
country-London Telegraph.

Tons Of Pins.

Nothing better shows the bisnesS OF
little things than the manufacture OF
pins. In England there are made each
week between fifteen and sixteen tons
OF the small neccssaries. the materials
being iron, steel and brass. The year
" production would amount TO about
100 tons. The number o. pins inc.ud-
ed in this great weight would make
any ordinary figures seem Insignificant
would, in fact. defy realization or
comprehension. Germany also makes
great quantities Of pins. her produc-
ton totaling about III tons year.
The United States makes great guam

England. Most OF the latter country's
output IS manufactured in Birmins-
ham by two firms. one Of which has
been in existence nearly century and
the other over a century.-Phlade!phia
