Recent Travellers In South America

An interesting article by Prof. e. w.
Gudger, in a recent issue of Natural
History deals with the time-honored
story on which most of us were
brought up that South American mon
keys are In the habit of crossing alliga-
tor-infested streams by linking their
tails and legs to form living bridge.
Pictures of this feat once figured ex-
tensively in the school Biographies,
and Professor Gudger reproduced such
a picture from Fourth reader pub
Nshed as late as 1897. The story was
first told, so far as known, by the Jes-
uit priest Padre Jose Acosta In
work published in 1889. Several later
writer's have repeated the tale. The
first person to dispute it's veracity was
Baron Humboldt. Recently explor-
ers of South America, when they men
ton the story at all, express skepti-
cism. Finally, Messrs. Leo e. Miller
and George X. Cherrie of the Amer1-
can Museum of Natural History, who
