Jungle Monkey Girl

An amazing discovery, which recalls
the story OF Mowgli in Rudyard Kip
lings Jungle Book" has been made In
India. In the Jungle near Naina Tai a
wild-lookng creature, apparently hui
man female child, has been found
That she is human is proved by the
fact that there are vaccination marks on
both arms. but exposure to the elements
has caused a thick growth of hair down
each side of the face and spine, which
makes her appearance more like that of
monkey than human being
There is evidence to show she has al
ways walked upright but her sitting
posture iR that of a monkey, as are all
her actions She was very frightened
when first caught, and cried and whim-
pered. She would eat only grass and
raw potatoes, but later was induced to
take bread and milk. She is. of course,
unable to talk, but there Is no doubt
that she can hear.
Everything points to the conclusion
that she was abandoned In infancy and
monkeys were her foster-parents. Ma
tives in the bazaar, however, declare that
the child was reared by bears.
