APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER
Said to Be. Impossible to Feel Animals

S. =. e. -; ! felt Money. Il {

The people Of Siam are very fond
of keeping monkeys Ut various kinds
as; pets. Owing to their close ascot
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 q large
amount of. counterfeit money, perhaps
more than In any other country in the
world. AS consequence, the lot OF
the merchant is = difficult one. They
have. however, surmounted. the trou-
bic to a large extent by making use
Of apes to test the coins Sitting by

once given to the ape. The animal
tests the coin with his teeth. If it
is good; he throws it into, the money

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 mistake.

when there are good reasons to believe
one will occur, explaining fully what
happens when undesirable and unfin-
fshed lambs are sent to the Jersey City
market. = - Fl .
It was recommended. that retailers
feature lamb in their advertising and
selling efforts during the period OF ex-
fcessive receipts and give consumers
advantage OF recessiOns in wholesale
