TRIES TOLAUGH
 HIMSELF 10 DEATH
Pet Ape of British Steam ship Always Tickling His
 Foolish Feet

There may be some human beings who are smarter than that animal but I've been round the world a bit and want to say that they are mighty few"
 The animal referred to was a long haired gibbon, specimen of the ape family, and the speaker was Martin Lew is. mate of the Leicester, a British. tramp steamer unloading cargo at the Bush ter minal after a long voyage from New South Wales, says the New York Herald.
 Yes, sirl William can do everything but shoot the sun, an l guess he could do that if we was to teach 'im,' said Lewis. 'The only thing we regrets about Williams company is the idee that we are going to lose i'm soon. Believe it or not, that fool animal is gradually laughing
 imself to death-yes. sir. actually laugn- mug imself to death'
 Lewis told the sailor to bring the anil nal on deck The first thing evident to the observer in the animaI-s appearance was two objects shaped somewhat like gloves which were drawn over his feet.
 We put them on i'm thinking as how they might prolong his life," Lewis ex- plained, ''butthe minute we takes them off @ begins killing imself right away. guess es a-trying to commit suicide and is taking the heasiest way what?"
 To convince the sceptical, Lewis re- moved the improvlsed shoes rom the anil malls feet. Grinning fiendishly and with his chest heaving in paroxysms of mirth he rolled over and over about the deck. He would then touch himself lightly in the ribs and, ending with triple back ward somersault at the exquisite pleasure which evidently he had received, would C. .-1. T t1I 1xfc exertions.
 Strike me dead, but ain't the blame fool slowly killing imself!' exclaimed the mate. He walks on is ands most of the time so as to keep the soles of is feet tender; seems as ow e gets more of @ ticklish sensation with 'em that way. We ave to watch i'm all the time so as to Eeeu i'm from taking them shoes off: Once We leads into a typhoon.

 The officers of the Leicester bought Will | liam from q beachcomber seven years ago in Port Moresby, New Guinea. At that time he weighed 4S pounds. He now weighs 31 pounds, has lost his appetite and has one foot in the grave, according I to Lewis.

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process In the Manu-
facture of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
of Daylestown, Pa, that the ancient
inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing
process In the manufacture of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
of ceramic experts at the University
of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
of beds of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing, and former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during recent study
of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds OF clay, and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still ap-
parent
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr..
Mercer, did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopted this precaution at
later date to make their vessels I'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics
