A MONKEYS MEMORY.
>CCCCG$GCCCCG

Jocko was a little monkey which was sent as present from Demerara to a gentleman living in a town in eastern Pennsylvania. He found a good home with people who gave him priyi- leges that few of his kind in captivity ever know. The playful antics of the little creature were ever a source of amusement to the family, who placed him in room at the top of the house, and were very fond of him.
 When Jocko had been in the family three years, his owners made arrange ments to go abroad. Not knowing what to do with the monkey, they con- cluded to send him to the geological garden in Philadelphia, where they knew he would be well cared for The family felt sorry to part with him, but they knew it was all that could be done.
 Seven years rolled round before they saw Jocko again; and then the former owner of Jocko, being in Philadelphia with his wife. went to the geological garden to see him.
 " lSA luSJ SlOOQ DclOlc lilc CdSO where the monkey, with number of others. was confined. they peered in, trying to distinguish their own from among the other little creatures.
 One of the monkeys reached his arm between the bars and plucked at the flowers on the won-an's hat.
 "Jocko," she called. 'Is that you, old fellow? Have you forgotten us?"
 The monkey seemed to recognize the voice, and made frantic efforts to reach the woman, while his old master went in search of the keeper. to re- quest him to take Jocko out, that they might see what he would do, and if he really recognized his friends.
 The man readily assented. and no sooner had the monkey attained his temporary freedom than he sprang upon his former masters shoulder and chattered away in his native tongue. Great tears welled up into his eyes and rolled down his face. which proved that he had not forgotten his friends, and that gratitude, one of the rarest virtues in the breast of mankind, was not wanting in the child of the forest

COST OF A SILK KIMoNo.
Took Three Women and Five Men to Fix Value on One in Louisville.


 Fix Value on One in Louisville.
 It took five men and three women at the custom house and the silk buyer of a Louisville department store to fix the value of a kimono which arrived at the office of the surveyor of customs for appraisement, the Times of that city says.
 It was dainty silken thing. laven- der in color, which lay on the table of Cashier Thomas for two hours. The garment was sent to the custom house by the postmaster at Somerset, Ky, who received it few days ago through the mail from Japan. He did not send in the address of the owner.
 This was aggravating to the young woman experts called in. T know every woman in Somerset" one said, land I'd just like to know who is go- ing to wear that"
 For half an hour 1t puzzled Surveyor Taylor and two or three of his men assistants to discover just what the garment was.
 Tt looks to me like the court gown of the queen of Zanzibar" said Clay Miller. who measures steamboats and superintends the loading of merchan- disc at the custom house depot
 Don't you know anything at all?" exclaimed one of the women clerks pushing her way through the puzzled group. Why. that's a kimono"
 What in the thunder is a kimono?" inquired Deputy Sam Barber. '"They don't have that kind of thing down in Bath County, where I came from"
 Finally when the officials decided. that there was nothing dangerous about the garment they started in fix ing the value. It was estimated to be worth all the way from $50 to $50. The kimono was finally carried to department store. where the silk buyer said it was worth $14.
 Later the kimono was bundled into box and started back to the Somer- set postmaster with instructions to charge the owner S8.20 duty.

 The British government has organ ized a special department in connec- tion with it's national physical labora- tory for the investigation of problems of aerial construction and navigation.

 In the spring of 1909 seventeen American robin redbreasts, male and female, after being confined for time in large aviary near Guildford, in Surrey, England, were set at liberty. They built nests in the surrounding trees, and in a short time there were some thirty young robins added to the colony. Efforts are being made to re- tain them in the neighborhood dur ing the winter, and it is hoped that thus the American redbreast may be- come a permanent addition to the bird population of England.
 The Electrician notes some interest ing facts about the ventilation of the great Simplon tunnel. The change from steam to electric traction has not altered the arrangements for ventila- ton. The two entrances, at Brigue, Switzerland, and Iselle, Italy, are GOV cred, except at the moment when a train enters or leaves. by huge cloth screens, which are automatically raised and lowered by electricity. Two electric fans, nearly ten feet in di- ameter. and making $50 turns per min ute, drive air into the tunnel at Brigue at the rate of 1000 liters per second, and a similar station at Iselle draws air from the tunnel. The air pressure on the screen at Brigue amounts to four kilograms per square meter, while on the screen at Isella the pressure is twelve kilograms per square meter.
 Max Bermann of Budapest has re- gently shown that the spark rays made by the incandescent particles thrown of from iron and steel when put upon an emery wheel afford a means of test ing the composition of the metals. Carbon steels, manganese steel, and steels containing tungsten and nickel. each give a characteristic spark, of different forms and colors, which are easily distinguishable. The form of the spark picture changes with the quantity of carbon. Even so slight difference as .01 per cent of carbon, MT. Hermann says, can be detected in this manner. Pointed branching lines denote carbon steel; tool steel shows the appearance of blossom" on the branches; tungsten steel gives red streaked rays and shining points, with litle balls thrown out of the formation" and "an explosion appear ance in the articulation" denotes the presence of molybdenum, vanadium or titanium.

Secret Information.

The island of Great Britain has al ways been, in theory at least, open to invasion. Fear among :he inhabitants was perhaps at its height in the days of Napoleon, when guards were kept watching for any sign of an enemy from over the Channel. Lately there has been much conjecture as to wheth- CT England must expect the advent of a foreign army.
 An Englishman of timorous nature was dilating to a more stolid friend on the almost immediate danger of a hostile army. which he seemed to ex; pect at any moment.

DENTISTRY e,ooo YEARS AGO.
Billings and Settings of Jadeite
 Mnde by Aztec Dentists.

Mnde by Aztec Dentists. 1 In the ancient Central American days so long past that no remnant of tradition concerning them fingered when Cortez landed, 300 years ago, there was a good deal of fashion in dentistry, an exchange says. Sepa- rately entombed skeletons that have been discovered, probably those of titled people, since no burying grounds have been found, show that filiag of teeth into patterns was common among the upper classes.
 Almost every set of teeth that has been preserved gives evidence of the dentists handiwork. The teeth were usually filed along the crown. with two or three levels of filing on single tooth, giving 1t the aspect of a short flight of steps.
 The fashion in Copan that was most striking was the insertion of jewels in the teeth. Once in a while now, when some actress seeks to be conspic- uous, she will have a diamond set in tooth. In doing this she is merely copying dead and gone Copan notables of couple of thousand years ago. only they had no diamonds. The first proc ess was the drilling of a neat hole in the face of the tooth, delicate one when done with a stone tool.
 These holes are clean and true and are not countersunk, as is often the case with the stone mans work. Then to fit the hole a bit of jadeite was fashioned. Jadeite, a brilliant min eral of about the hardness of quartz, seems to have been the most precious gem of these older people. Of it they fashioned the ear plugs that are the progenitors of the modern lady's ear rings and brooches and beads for the neck and dress ornaments. Brought to true fit, the stone was fashioned in its place by a cement so firm and lasting that the gems remain in the teeth to this day.
