satisfied itself with two or three va
rieties Of drinks q day. Yesterday
morning. however, before the barroom
was opened for the day the ape ap-
peared TO have a thirst of the sort
which only seasoned drinkers are sup

of Hampton's room. slid down the

Opens Fire on Employees.
When Carl Hassenfleck, Hirschorns
luncheon counter man, appeared on
the scene shortly after 5 a. NJ. he
found Spike in the state of exhilira-
ton peculiar to some college students
after winning football game. Spike
greeted Hassenfleck with shrill cry
OF welcome, followed by heavy tum-
bier. which missed the mans right
ear only because Hassenfleck had
learned to dodge in his youth.

the lunchmans rescue, with the re-
suit that the two men passed an un-
enviable time hiding behind the lunch
con counter in storm of falling
stems, bottles, plates, knives, forks,
and other objects Several of Spike
out-shoots, Hassenfleck said after
ward, would win for him a place in a
major league
Hampton was aroused from bed by
employees OF the hotel who observed
the excitement from afar. He entered
the saloon, and Spike. delighted at
fresh sport, took aim at him with the
largest glass left standing.

claimed. Come on! I'll buy you a
regular drink"
The monkey instantly let a plate
fall and leaped joyfully toward it's
master. who seized him tightly and
transported him to his room to sleep
off the effects of the spree.

his loss which he conservatively esti-
mated at more than $50" Hampton
said if he couldn't make Spike pay
he'd pay himself.

HELPED BY HUMIDITY.
Many Materials and Products Which,
Require Moist Air.

Many Materials and Products Which
Require Moist Air.
There are many materials, operations
and products which require special
atmospheric conditions for advanta-
geous or profitable maintenance. Prin-
cipal among such operations Is the
manufacture of textiles, perhaps the
largest single industry carried on in
factories. In the favored climate of
the Lancashire district of England the
natural climate affords working con-
ditions equaled in America only on oc-
casional days In certain localities.
Even in England. however. there are
many days in which the atmosphere Is
too dry for the best work.
Since textile fbers are increased in
strength and elasticity by high humid.
ity and moderately high temperature,
breakages are less frequent under
proper conditions. and the output is in
creased. But even before the fiber
reaches the manufacturing plant at
mospheric humidity plays an important
part. Cotton loses weight as 1t dries
out, but. more than that, the fibers
bristle and appear shorter ana or lower
grade than when slightly moistened.
Leather, feathers and many other por
Gus substances lose considerable per.
centage Of weight In drying out. so that
the maintenance of average and uni
form humidity In the storage rooms
has a direct advantage to the owner
in maintaining the value Of his goods
as they lie in the warehouse. Cigars
and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and
regain 1t to some extent. after loss.
by storage in proper humiditied rooms.
Wooden furniture and musical instru-
ments are sometimes cracked or the
finish injured by the dry air of steam
heated rooms. All these and other
similar goods are advantageously
worked or stored in rooms in which the
atmospheric humidity is artiicially
controlled and kept at the most desira-
