Everyone has heard about the sky
raining cats and dogs" but II remained
for former resident OF Rehoboth
Beach, William Horn. to see the sky
rain monkeys. Mr.. Horn is the son Of
Charles 5. Horn. one OF the best-known
citizens Of DelawTes ocean resort. The
young man went on a prospecting trip
through the interior Of Central Africa,
last year, TO discover possible locations
for moving picture company.
He went with an escort OF African
guides and baggage carriers through
dense tropical forests: the only white
man In that part Of Africa, possibly
the only white man who had ever Wis
iied some Of the primitive villages scat
tered here and there In jungle clearings
one colOred boy who had lived on the
coast where he met white people and
learned English, acted as Interpreter
FOR Mr.. Horn.
One day. In the deep forest. Mr.. Horn
looked up at the trees above him and
was startled to see countless cleaning
eyes looking down at him. Whatever
the being were. they were motionless,
silent and INVISIBLE among The foliage.
one OF the c0,Ored boys suddenly
clapped his hands together, and FOR NJ
teen minutes 10 ralned monkeys Little
silvery creatures they were, about the
size Of gray squirrels. In great fright
they leaped down from the trees and
scurried away through the underground.
soon they were lost to sight.
On another day young Horn and his
party had the nerve-racking experience
Of crossing a wide stream over a
bridge only one plank 10 width and
without a hand-rall, while scrambiing
masses Of crocodiles reached up. snap
ping many-toothcd mouths from the
water below.
Mr.. Horn was not armed. The natives
were child-like and friendly. He found
that the dangerous wild animals OF the
forest would not attack a pairy OF men
II the men did not molest them. 4 sin
gle man would not be safe from at
tack Of a hungry beast but the animals
avoided groups OF human beings.
The natives took kindly TO being
photographed One little boy who did
not bother with clothes except on great
occasions. donned his holiday and only
garment. a salt bag, with holes for
arms and legs, TO have his picture
taken.
These primitive tribes were too dis
inclined for anything like work and too
undependable to be Of practical use in
