The Human Gorilla

ners were very good. He always sat at the table, and when a meal was ready would pull his own chair up to the place. He did not care to eat a great deal. but he especially liked to drink water out of a tumbler. He never would snatch anything and al- ways ate very slowly. He always drank a lot of water which he would always get himself whenever he wanted it by turning on a tap. He always turned off the water when he had finished drinking.
 The gorilla seemed to think that every one was delighted to see him. and he would throw up the window whenever he was permitted. If he found the sash locked he would un- fasten it. and when 8 big crowd had collected outside he would clap his chest and his hands. He loved to take everything out of a waste-paper basket and strew the contents all over the room, after which, when told to do so, he would pick up everything and put it all back. looking very bored the while. He would always put things back when told to do so. such as books from a shelf or things from a table. Here are two instances of original thought in this gorilla:
 "one day we were going out, for which I was sitting ready dressed. when John wished to sit in my lap. My sister. Mrs. Penny. said: Don't let him. He will spoil your dress
 "As my dress happened to be light one I pushed him away. and said, 'No!' He at once lay on the floor and cried just like a child for about minute. Then he rose looked round the room, found newspaper. went and picked it up. spread it on my lap and climbed up. This was quite the cleverest thing I ever saw him do. Even those who saw it said they would not have believed 1t had they not seen it themselves, Both my nephews (Major Penny and MT. b c. Penny), his wife and my sister (Mrs. Penny) were in the room and can testify to the correctness of the above record.
 Another clever thing John did, although I suspect this was due more to instinct than 10 downright clever ness. A piece of filet beefsteak had just come from the butcher. lnasmuch as occasionally I gave him a small mouthfu of raw beef. small piece of the eoarser part of the steak was cut off, and-l~gave it to him. He tasted it, then grayely handed it back to me. Then he took my hand and put it on the finer part of the meat. From that and he ate it When my nephew came home he wouldn't believe it, so tried it again. with the same result. except that then hesdid not attempt to eat the coarser meat"

What Happens When
 The Mantis "Prays ,

ONE of the most remarkable crea- V lures in the world is the praying mantis; "preying mantis'' would be a more suitable name, for this insect is one of natures fiercest marauders. It gets it's name from it's curious habit of holding it's forelegs close together and Slightly raised. like the hands of a man engaged in prayer. But the attitude is far from being one of devotion
 The mantis lives entirely upon other insects, though the large species that inhabit South America do not disdain an occasional small bird. It moves over the leaves of a plant until M reaches a spot to which flies and bees are likely to come. Then it becomes motionless, and it's forelegs arc raised 10 a praying position.
 Presently an unwary fly settles on the leaf. Suddenly there is move ment so rapid that the eye cannot fol- low it, and next moment the praying hands are holding the fly to the in- sects strong jaws.
 The forelegs are armed with sharp edged horny plates. which the n1antis uses as we use a scythe or a sickle. With a sharp slash 1t can lay low an insect as big as itself.

TNHANKs to the enterprise and diii- A gence of Major Rupert Penny and Miss Cunningham in purchasing and caring for sick and miserable young male gorilla, 8 new chapter in wild animal natural history must be written.
 Miss Cunningham wrote out for Doctor Hornaday ("The Minds and Manners of Wild Animals by Will fam T. Hornaday, sc.D., scribnersl. a personal history of this wonderful ant mal-apparentiy the most remarkable gorilla ever observed fin captivity. It is a clear and straightforward record and not one of its assertions can be doubted.
 -- Loneliness. We soon found 1t was impossible to leave him alone at night, because he shrieked every night, and nearly all night. from loneliness and fear. This we found he had done where he lived before coming to us. He always began to cry directly he cda " tHC eSSiSSsAAtS PuttinS away for the night. We found that this loneliness at night was trying on his health and appetite. As soon as pos sble my nephew had his bed made nr every night in the room adjoining the cage, with the result that John was quite happy, and began to grow and put on fat
 Treatment I fed him, washed his hands, face and feet twice a day, and brushed and combed his hair-which he would try to do himself whenever he got hold of the brush or comb. He soon got to like all this.'
 Training. My next idea was 10 teach him to be strictly clean in his habits. It was my ambition to be able to have him upstairs in our house as an ordinary member of the household. l taught him first as a child is taught and handled. This took some time. At first I could not make him under stand what we expected of him. even though always petted him and gave him grapes (of which he wasp especial ly fond) but think at first he imag- ined that this treatment was punish- ment. At first, without other reasons, uc Woufd tOtt Ot tAC uOol dhu SiittN, but directly he understood what was expected of him he soon learned and began to behave excellently.'
 "This training occupied quite six weeks. About February. 1919. we took him out of his cage and allowed him the freedom Of the house. Thereafter he would run upstairs to the bathroom, of his own accord, turning the door, knob of whatever room he was in. and also opening the door of the bath room. He would get out of bed in the night by himself, go back to bed and pull the blankets over him. self quite neatly"
 This gorilla, John. to give him his name again. was very cautious. He would never run into dark room without first turning on the light. John also seemed to realize danger for other people in high places. for if any one looked out of high window he always pushed that person away if he were at the window himself. but If he was away from it he would run and pull the individual back.

 It is also claimed that ayalanches in the Alps are sometimes started by so trivial a thing as a whisper. A re- cent report from yivey. Switzerland. says that the tinkle of sleigh bells was responsible for a terrible fall which swept away a caravan of sleighs cross ing dangerous Alpine pass, and that now the use of bells on this route is strictly forbidden.
 Recognizing the possibilities of the phenomenon of the power of harmonic vibrations, Leslie R., Macdonald of Montreal has invented a motor which turns this principle. to practical use.
 Merely by harnessing a pulley with web belt attached to small, rapidly vibrating bar of iron, Mir. Macdonald claims to have devised an efficient source of power-a motor without ar- mature, commutator, or brushes. and with no rotating parts except for the whirling drive pulley actuated by the vibrating bar. He says that his inven- tion is due to an accidental discovery made while repeating familiar experi- ment in physics called "Melde's Experi-

THE shouts of the multitude of Is- 4 raelites under Joshua, ningling with the blast Of trumpets. are said to have brought down the walls of Jericho, the 'tCity of the Moon.''
 For centuries men of science have recognized the power of harmonic vi- brations which some go so far as to give as the explanation for the falling of Jericho's walls at the shouts of the multitude.
 There is also an ancient story about

belt drag back the pulley, thus neutral izing the gain previously made. but this is not the case. The same whipping action takes place, it is claimed. that occurs in Melde's experiment. The pulley not only holds the previous gain, it is said, but actually seems to move forward a trifle as the belt whips back over it. Thus far, one horse power is about the maximum developed.
 The only winding on the new motor is that of a simple, insulated wire col. No transformer is needed, and 1t Is said to be impossible to burn out the motor. if it is operated on the voltage and fre- ouency for which 1t is designed. The motor is essentially slow speed ma chine with high starting torque.
 A striking example of it's ability to fit into unusual spaces is its possible in- stallation on sewing machine For this purpose it is made long and dat permitting concealment and connection with an outside pulley.
 The new motor has no brushes or other parts to wear out easily, and no bearings to require oil.

 contact with it and thereby release the trigger and discharge the gun. If it is intended to kill or seriously wound the trespasser the cord Is placed in limo with the barrel of the gun. while if it intended merely to slightly wound or frighten off the intruder, the cord may be placed at an angle to the barrel of the gun. The device has actually been used with success in trapping thieves in the inventors town. where they were systematically robbing a grocery store.
