Veteran Traveller Declares Sound to

The most striking sound in the
American tropics Is the roaring Of the
so-caIled bowling monkeys. The sound
is deep-yolced, buslnesslilse below
ing, at least hundred times more
thunderous and terrible than you would
think it possible for a creature that

stinctive desire TO be somewhere else.
Although was certain that | was
perfectly safe, II took all my nerve that
first time to move up under the tree
whence came that tcourage-killing, men
acing below. There were only four
OF them--an old male, female and
two half-grown young; probably fam
lily. Yet the terrible noise that issued
principally from the bearded and
swollen throat Of the old male---seemed
really to make the atmosphere quake.
AS | stood below he would rush down
toward me, believing outrageously, and
thought II took some fortitude at first
to stand by until he retreated again.
The noise, as ! analysed It at the time
was a deep, throaty, bass roar, with
something OF the quality OF gruntlng
pigs, or the barking below Of bull
alligator, or an ostrich. Accompany
ing that sound was weird, grooming
sort of wall, probably the contribution
of the female or the young, or both.
The noise was fully as loud as the
full-throated roaring Of Hons, and that

and with her brilliant retinue she daily
watched her happy subjects dancing
TO the piping birds, exuberantly happy
and care free.
SO they danced until one Friday
when they received word that Christ
had been crucified on Calvary. AT once
the merrlment ceased and queen and
retinue and suIries high and low threw
themselyes upon the grass and wept.
Wherever a tear fell fairy lucky
stone sprang up, taking the form Of q
cross.
In years after these stones were
carried by the people Of Kentucky and
other places as preveEtives OF evil and
OF accidents. Some Of them are SO
carried today. There IL one in Reno,
but its charm is gone, says the Ne
