The orange tree is remarkable. The
visitor is astonished to find blossoms
on one branch Of an orange tree and
fully ripened fruit on another. Ma.
ture is a wonder worker. She makes
no mistakes. She can neither be fooled
nor bribed. A grower tells me
that an orange tree blossoms In
February and in June. If In Febru-
airy the developed fruit shows less
than the average yield, the tree puts
forth additional blossoms in June and
this counterbalances the loss, but If
the fruit is fully up to the average
no blossoms appear in June. There Is
no more beautiful sight than a fine
orange grove bearing fruit and bios

the golden fruit is to the palate, Of

AN EXCITING SPORT
Hunting Monkeys in BurnaR Is
Full of Thrills.
CONSERVATION In Treetops When Glib
bons Are Assailed-TraveI Faster
/ Through Trees Than Man Can
Run on Ground.

Our most exciting sport at the Nam
ting camp was hunting monkeys,
writes Roy Chapman Andrews in Har-
per's. Every morning we heard quer-
ulous notes, sounding much like the
squealing of very young puppies,
which were followed by long drawn
siren walls. When the shrill notes
had reached their highest pitch they
would sink into low, full tones exceed
ingly musical. -
We were inspecting a line of traps
placed along trail which led up val
ley to wide plateau when the quer-
ulous squealing abruptly ceased. We
moved on, alert and tense. The trees
stretched upward full $50 feet, their
tops spread out in a leafy roof. In
the topmost branches Of one we could
Just discern a dozen balls Of yellow
fur from which proceeded discordant
walls.
It was long range for a shotgun,
but the rifles were all In camp. I fired
q charge Of ssBB's' at the lowest mon
key and as the gun roared out the
tIeetops suddenly sprang into life.
They were filled with running, leaping,
hairy forms swinging at incredible
speed from branch to branch-not q
dozen, but score of monkeys, yellow,
brown and gray.
The one at which had shot seemed
unaffected and threw himself full
twenty feet to horizontal limb below
and to the right. I fired again, and he
stopped, ran few steps forward, and
swung to the under side of the branch.
At the third charge he hung suspended
by one arm and dropped to the
ground.
We tossed him into the dry creek
bed and dashed up the hill where the |
branches were still swaying as the
monkeys travelled through the tree
tops. They had a long start and it !
was a hopeless chase. In ten min
utes they had disappeared and we
turned back to find the dead animal.
1t was a young male, and knew at |
once that it was gibbon (Hylobates),
for its long arms, round head and tail
less body were unmistakable; but in
every species with which I was fa-
miliar the male was black. This one
was yellow and we knew 1t to be

and SHE WONDERED
Mrs. BiIItops Really Doubted
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed Singular Thing Until Ex-
PLANTATION DaWned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

"We keep" said Mr.. Billtops, "a
record Of Mrs. Billtop's weight. There
is a drug store In our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop In there and weigh Mrs.
Billtops; and then, when we get
home, I set the weight down in the
record.
'The greatest difference between any
two weights taken SO far this year is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths Of pound.
So you can see her weight is running
very true.
ut might seem that all this was
rather humdrum commonplace per
Torrance to go through, but really
there's a good deal Of variety to 1t.
For instance, in winter, when she
is wearing heavy cloak, we weigh
Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight Of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord. 81
$50 you see It is not all quite so
simple as 1t seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter-weight spring coat,
we ran into a regular incident.
after weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was a light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with it onI
Mrs. Billtops and looked at each
other In mild amazement; but then at
the, same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed!
I am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as I am, but we
both laughed at that; and really I
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get Let of fun out Of weigh
ng Mrs. Billtops. New York Times.
