Monkey No Longer Boasted.

The monkey was forever blowing about what man lAs accomplished "This descendant of mine" he would say, "is the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening Finally some of them induced him to go to theater. After each act he would say to the other animals {: Those people are my descendants and l am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down and danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before, and a few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house. and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Spanish peasants living in the cork oak region use homemade gas ob- tained from cork refuse. As described by one authority, the process con- sists in filling several large teakettles with the waste bark and placing each in turn over the fire during the eve ming, burning the volatile gas as it es- capes from the spouts. The carbonic residue forms the fine black-brown pig ment known to commerce as Spanish brown"
