Monkey Bridge

From our school Biographies we
used to learn that South American
monkeys cross alligator infested
streams by linking their tails and
legs to form a living bridge. In
school readers" published as late as
1897 there are pictures of this extra
ordinary feat of monkey acrobatics.
Professor E. w. Gudger, in an article
quoted by the Scientific American,
attempts to explain the origin of this
story. which is not believed by any
recent explorers.
So far as it can be traced It was
first told by Padre Jose Acosta in
1883. The first person to dispute it's
veracity was Baron Humboldt. Final
ly Messrs. Leo E. Miller and George
X. Cherrie, Of the American Museum
of Natural History, who have done
SO much travelling and collecting in
South America. suggest to Professor
Gudger that the story Of the "mon-
key bridge" has come about through
observation of procession Of mon
keys crossing a ravine or stream on
a pendant Llama.

Have YOU noticed that in every
popular game or sport the hall plays
a very prominent part? No game
without a ball. however big the craze
Tor 1t may be at one time, has ever
lasted.
Archery, for example, is played
without balls. and yet it is almost
extinct as n pastime. At one tim" it
was the only recreation in England.
Ball games were first played by the
ancient Greeks and Romans. and con-
sisted merely of throwing and catch
ing the hall. This was found to he an
excellent method of strengthenin@
the figure and keeping the body
healthy. Nowadays most Of the
games are played with other appa-'
ratus. Also there are rules which
govern the games.
The most popular Of all sports. OF
course, is baseball.
