Save Baby From Gorilla.

According to Doctor Livingstone,
the gorilla sometimes picks up a ne
gro baby and carries it about. The
natives rescue it in rather an ingen-
ious way. They place large bunch
Of bananas in the way of the gorilla,
which seizes them with both hands
and lets the baby drop. Had the baby
been one of it's own kind it would have
chung to it's nurse. But, being hui
man baby, it naturally falls, so that
the rescuers can drive away the ami
NAL and carry off their prize.
