CATCHING Monkeys.

; The well-known habit of monkeys to
initiate the actions of man Is cleverly
utilized by wild-animal catchers In TAX
ing the agile, climbing creatures cap
tive, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The hunters method is to walk
about for some time within sight of
the wild monkeys, wearing short boots.
Then the boots are taken off and gum
is placed in their bottoms, after which
the men withdraw from the scene. Be-
fore long the curiosity of the initiative
watchers In the trees gets the better OF
their caution and they descend and
start to try on the boots, whereupon
they discover that the footwear cannot
be removed and, being unable to climb,
are easily captured.

Khaki CoIors Differ.

Considerable comment Is being
aroused In official circles and else
where over the disparity of the khaki
uniforms worn by officers and privates.
Some Of them are so faded that they
look almost white, while others retain
original coloring. A few cases have
been noted, states the Pathfinder,
where the coat and breeches of uni
forms have developed different hues.
One excuse offered is that the khaki
cloth is acquired from many manufac-
turers and the grades of II differ wide
ly sometimes. Thousands of young
men entering the officers training
camps purchase their own uniforms,
and this provides an opportunity for
a difference in the quality Of the
goods.

Strong Negatives.

There Is one great advantage about
keeping both glass and film negatives
In envelopes made Of transparent pa
lper-that the negative can be look I'd
at and identified without taking II
out Of It's envelope. More negatives
are damaged by being turned over to
find some particular one than by the
lapse Of time, and the transparent en-
velope protects them from injury from
this source. A system of filing and
cataloging, by which any negative re-
quired can be found with a minimum
Of disturbance of the others, also tends
to prevent damage.

Speaking OF Shetland ponies. A man
in Buffalo had one to die at the age of
81 years About this time grandson
came into the home and when the
youngster WAS a year and half old he
bought him pony paying $500 for it.
His friends said he had paid big price
for it.
He said that a pony was the best in
vestme ut he could make for his grand
sons health, as one lasted two genera
tons, he figured that 500 divided
among the IS to 80 years that pony
would last made small yearly expense,
to say nothing of the doctors bills he
would have to pay.
600
The point is that the purchase price
is small consideration when it is spread
out over a period of 30 years and the
pleasure derived from it. Most any
grandfather can afford to buy one, es
pecially when Preston Green would be
glad to sell him one for $50.
