MONKEY MOTHERS A PUPPY
Pet Similar From Zanzibar Takes Com
plete Possession Of Irish Terrier
Ten Days Old.

"A few months ago my son brought
home from Zinzibar a small monkey
with very pleasant face and the bon
niest brown eyes imaginable" writes
a correspondent of the Strand. "Of
course Jennie, as she was called. is
sharp as a needle, and being full OF
funny ways and mischievous to fault
provides us with no end of amuse-
ment.
AT the time Jennie arrived We had
a little Irish terrier pup about ten
days old being sucked by its mother.
and from the moment she first saw 1t
Jennie took complete possession OF
the pup. She guarded 1t with the
greatest care. showed herself ready
to fight in its defence and nursed.
petted and actually kissed It When
moving 1t about she would do SO not
as a dog or cat would carry their
yourg, but with her arms clasped
around 1t in the affectionate way g
mother would carry her baby.
ITO such an extent was this strange
mothering carried that the pups own
parent seemed puzzled as to whom the
child really belonged. for Immediately
after sucking 1t she had to relinquish
It to Jennie. who was quite restless
and unhappy II kept away long.
And though the monkey had the
free run of the garden for hours at a
time she never went far away. but
at the least sign Of danger to the child
of her adoption-either human ap
proach or that OF It's own mother, oil
the house cat-she would instantly
leave her gambols on the trees ant
fiercely resent any interference.
Now that the pup is growing big
ger every day we are naturally won
dering how he will like being rolled
over and pulled about by his fostel
mother-and a monkey at that; bu
we are hoping that they will long con
tinue to be the greatest of chums."

explanation for spoutaueOu. wound

Explanation for Spontaneous Wound.
DR.. Y. Tanaka describes a form Of
wound which occurs spontaneously
and is frequently seen in japan, the
so-called Kamaitachi disease. The
wound suddenly occurs-apparently
without rhyme or reason, as 1t we're
and is exactly identical in appearance
with a tear Of the soft parts; in shape
it is somewhat crescentic. Usually 1t
appears in one OF the lower limbs,
sometimes on the face. The injury
materalizes during thunder storms. In
explanation the author points out,
through a note in the British Medical
Journal, that. as is known by meteor
ologists, during thunder storms a tenn
porary vacuum may occur In places as
a result OF stray air currents; and If
part OF the body comes into such a
space a tear may result from the in
ternal pressure unmodified by the ac-
ton of external pressure. The cases
usually occur in outlying mountain dis
tricts, rich in trees and streams; and
II is in Just such districts that In q
thunder storm atmospheric conditions
can most ready produce vacuum OF
the kind described"
