THE MoNKEY-HoUsE MAN

- LIE WSNNE -I1SOSE MAN
The recent death of George Mans
bridge, head keeper of the apes and
monkeys at the London Zoo, has led
to the publication of his views re-
garding our nearest animal kin, as
he had spent thtrty-four years with
the zoo monkeys. Mansbridge was
more or less well known to the scien-
lists through his association with
the late Professor Romanes during
the latter's efforts to get some new
light on the mental equipment of the
apes. .
They succeeded in teaching one of
Mansbridge's charges to count up to
five, without the use Of any trick
sign. They also educated the same
animal so that she could tell the diff
ference between white and any other
color, but beyond that distinction her
color sense did not 60.

Some suggest that if I split her

she will sing sooner. But I'll give her
every chance before l do that. She
may just have the prima donna tenn

when you least expect it.
The weather is proving rather cold
for Gertrude, and I've made some
fiannelette panties for her to wear

more shelter. A hutch I'm building
for her will look like the state house.
There's a dome on it so the f1amingo

Gertrude is very tame and sociable

warmer there. She's fond of oysters,

I'll be repaid for denying myself oy-
