Drunken MONKEYS.

According to recent letter from
the Congo region on the west coast of
Africa, the monkeys there are inor-
dinately fond of kind of beer made
by the natives, who use the beverage
to capture their poor relations.
Having placed quantities of the beer
where the monkeys can get it, the ma
tives wait until their victims are in
various degrees of inebriation, and
when they then mingle with them the
poor creatures are too much fuddled
to recognize the difference between
negro and ape.
When negro takes the hand of one
of them to lead him of, some other
fond creature clings to the hand of
the latter one, and. another one to his
hand; thus a single negro may some
times be seen carrying of string of
staggering monkeys.
When secured the beer is admin
istered in decreasing quantities, so
that they may only gradually awaken
to the sad results OF their spree.

Pump for Horn PLAYERS.

The patient German inventor has
produced a new labor-saving device;
this time II is meant to make easier
the work of the man who plays a
wind instrument.
To maintain at the lips an air pres
sure required for some wind instru-
ments is fatiguing. Besides this the
necessity for taking breath once in a
while makes 1t almost impossible to
render properly long passages full Of
sustained notes.
Hence the inventor has devised a
machine operated by the foot which
conveys air under pressure by a tube
20 the mouth OF the player. 1t would
be. Of course. impossible to attach the
tube from the bellows directly to the
instrument. since It is by the mouth

tioa will have his mouth constantly

EffectualIy Aroused.

A large, perspiring individual en-
tered a subway train at one of the up
town stations yesterday afternoon,
squeezed himself into a seat between
two women and promptly went to
sleep. He nodded. he swayed from
side to side with every motion of the
car, and at last, to the secret delight
of every passenger opposite, began
slowly but surely to lay his head on
the shoulder of one of the young WON
en- beside him. At this juncture the
unexpected happened. Without even
raising her eyes from her paper the
young woman reached into her bag
with one free hand, drew forth a
small silver vinaigrette of smelling
salts and carefully placed it under the
sleeper's nose. There was a rum
bling sound, followed by a series of
sneezes, and the man sat bolt upright,
blinking in bewildered fashion, while
the car echoed with laughter. The
only person who took no part in the
merriment was the young woman, who
calmly replaced her vinaigrette and
went on reading. The man remained
wide awake for the rest of the trip

PENGUIN OIL INDUSTRY
BIRDS ARE CAPTURED AND BRED
FOR PROFIT.
Macquarie island, Between Tasmania
and the Antarctic Continent, ls
the Center of Promising
Commercial Enterprise.

What is probably the most southerly
industry of the world is being carried
on at Macquarie island, about halfway
between Tasmania and the Antarctic
continent, In capture of penguins for
their oil. Macquarie island belongs
to the state Of Tasmania, and has an
area of about $4,000 acres, being about
twenty-five miles long and five miles
wide. The island is leased by the
Tasmania government to Joseph
Hatch, who has established a penguin
oil industry there. Recently meeting
Mr.. Hatch, I obtained the following
particulars from him:
There are probably S0,000000 pen
gums on the island, so that the stock
to be drawn from seems almost limit
less. There are also large number
of sea elephants about the shores of
this island. The oil is obtained from
the penguins by boiling the carcasses
in digesters capable of dealing with
800 birds at time. The tops of the
digesters are fastened down and steam
applied until about twenty-five pounds
pressure is ATTAINED The steam is
then turned off and water pumped into
the bottoms of the digesters, this
causing the oil to rise, when 1t is
takken off the top by a tap.
The oil is placed in barrels and sold
to binder twine makers In Australia
and New Zealand. There Is a good
market for all the oil that is produced
here, but the industry has met with
several severe losses through wreck
of ships attempting to visit the island.
There is no harbor about the island,
so that vessels have to lie about half
mile off the rocky coast, and all
material has to be conveyed to and
from the shore on RATS formed of
casks. Owing to the roughness of
the open roadstead, it is impossible to
obtain insurance for vessels trading
there.
Macquarie island is about $50 miles
southeast of Hobart. The island is
barren, being covered only with tus-
socky grass. Whaling ships visiting
there introduced rabbits and Maori
hens, which are now quite prolific.
The Mawson Antarctic expedition
from Australia has established wire
less station there, and daily messages
are now being received at Hobart. 1t
was the intention of this expedition to
use Macquarie island as a means of
sending messages all the way from
their base at Adele land to Hobart,
but unfortunately the wireless station
established at Adele land has been
unable to communicate with Mac
quarie island, owing, it is supposed,
to being too near the magnetic dis
turbances caused by the proximity
of the south magnetic pole. The
station at Macquarie island, however,
has already proved of considerable
value to shipping in Australian waters
by giving warning Of storms coming
up from the south.-Consul Henry D.
Baker, Hobart, Tasmania.
