RIVAL JUNGLE KINGS
ROAR OF ANDES MONKEYS LIKE
THAT OF LIONS.
Veteran Traveller Declares Sound to
Be the Most Trying on the Nerves
That He Ever Had to
Experience.

The most striking sound in the
American tropics is the roaring of the
so-called bowling monkeys. The sound
is deep-voiced, businesslike below
ing, at least a hundred times more
thunderous and terrible than you would
think it possible for a creature that
is only little larger than a big tom
cat, to make.
l had heard the animals in the dis
lance a number of times, but it was
at Rio Frio on the Cauca river, where
our little sternwheeler was taking
wood, that first got close to them ain

elsewhere ever been called upon to

Although I was certain that 1 was

whence came that courage-killing, men,

of them-an old male, a female and
two half-grown young probably a 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 l stood below he would rush down
toward me, believing outrageously, and
l thought it took some fortitude at first
to stand by until he retreated again.
The noise, as l analysed it at the time,
was deep, throaty, bass roar, with
something of the quality of granting
pigs, or the barking below of bull
alligator, or an ostrich. Accompany
ing that sound was a 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 lions, and that
it has marvellous carrying power was
frequently attested when we heard
it from the far side of some of the
great Andean valleys as we wound cul

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

mAhNGi Al SfONAlNE.
Despite the tense situation occa-
stoned by the break with Germany,
business conditions in the United
States do not appear to have been
seriously disturbed, although there
have been some declines in certain Sc
curities. There has been no attempt
at Washington to deny that we are
actually on the verge of war with Ger
many and that it may come at any
moment.
