APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER
Said to Be Impossible to Fool Animals
Of Siam With Any Counter
felt Money.

The people Of Siam are very fond
of keeping monkeys of various kinds
as pets. Owing to their close associ
alton with human beings, these crea-
lures become very intelligent.
One OF the most remarkable things
that these monkeys can do is to test
money. In Siam there is IA large
amount of counterfeit money, perhaps
more than In any other country in the
world. AS consequence. the lot of
the merchant is Il difficult one. They
have, however, surmounted the trou-
bic TO large extent by making use
of apes to test the coins. Sitting by
the side of each merchant Is to be
seen solemn-fuced ape. Every piece
of money handed to his master is at
once given to the ape. The animal
tests, the coin with his teeth. If it
Is good, he throws ii into the money
box; If 1t be bad he filings it to the
ground
The strange part about the bust
ness Is that no white person has yet
been able to discover how the apes
tell the good money from the bad. The
merchants politely refuse to explain
how the creatures are trained to carry
out this useful office. The only sure
thing about the affair is that the apes
never make a mistake.

STATUES THAT HOLD SPIRITS
suddhists Firmly Believe That Souls
Of Long Departed Sages Are
Present in Images.

Marco Polo, the celebrated Venetian
traveller, with his two uncles, was the
first European TO travel in China In
the gilded statue erected to his memory
in Soo-ChOw, China, the Chinese be-
lieve his spirit still resides. Accord
ing to Chinese superstition, fly or
spider is the means by which the
spirits of the dead are coaxed back
to earth to occupy their statues. Five
hundred similar statues, life size, line
the walls of dlmly lighted room in
the Buddhist temple of that ancient
city. They contain the spirits of the
sages they represent, devOut Buddhists
believe.
A spirit is unable to enter statue
unless another and freshly liberated
spirit is there to receive 1t, say the
priests. Through a door in the back
of new statue, therefore, spider or
fly is introduced. The door is then
sealed and the insect is left to smother
Its spirit, fiuttering about inside the
statue, is taken possession Of by the
soul of the long departed sage. Marco
Polo was brought back in this way
the priests say. Worshipers burn in
cense before the statue and seek com.
munion with the spirit of the alien who
dwet so long in China, and even ruled
as governor Of one of the provinces.

VAST WEALTH FROM SILVER
Fortunate spaniards Spent Millions as
tho Average Man Might Dis
pense His Dollars.

In the old Spanish days in Mexico.
millionaires were often made over
night In the rich silver-mining sections
around Guadalajuata. A shrewd pros
pector in the early days, named Fam
brano, discovered mine which
brought him immense wealth. He
spent most Of his time In the cap
itals of Europe. living as extravagant-
ly as possible, squandering vast sums
at the gaming table, but managing to
leave a snug little fortune of $60,OO0,-
900. One of his whins was to lay a
silver pavement In front Of his house,
but this the authorities forbade. In
those days silver was on a parity with
gold.
The conde de Valenciana, who dis
covered one Of the richest mines in
this section. derived SO much wealth
from 1t that he is said to have gotten
rid of $100,OOO.OOO in few years.
Another silver king sent the king Of
Spain 100000 as Christmas pres
ent. and asked to be allowed to build
galleries and portals of silver around
his mansion. This request was re-
fused, the authorities declaring that
such magnificence was the privilege

FOX PUPS REARED r;;i

Youngsters Show No Fear Of

Fox pups have been reared by

mained for a Maine silver fox ranch
man, Frank A. Harvey, to bring up a
litter Of fox pups with cat foster
mother.
Pussy still wanders interestedly
about the, big fox pens where her last
seasons pups have grown to her own
size, and would still fondle them If
she could. But MIR. Harvey believes
that they would make a meal of her
today If they could reach her.

said. "Every one knows how wary
the fox Is. Frightened by dogs, or
guns, or strangers, and unable to bury
or hide the newly born pups. the

ing them around in her fear So I
have been trying to overcome the
fox's fear Of men and animals.
Il felt that If l could raise a litter
OF the fox pups on mother cat they
would become accustomed to our han
ding them, fondling them, talking to
them, accustomed to strangers and the
barking of dogs, and learn their pro-
lection from all harm while in our
care.
I'VE had our difficulties. We had
to give over the whole lower floor of
our home to the experiment, but 1t
was worth while for once, although
am afraid the trouble would deter us
again.

itors, passing dogs or the occasional
hunter and his gun in the woods
