Aesop's ape. it will be remembered, wept on passing through a human graveyard, overcome with sorrow for Its dead ancestors, and that all mon keys are willing enough to be more like us than they are they show by their mimicry. An old authority tells that the easiest way to capture apes Is for the hunter to pretend to shave himself, then to wash his face, till the basin with a sort of birdlime and leave it for the apes to blind themselves. If the Chinese story is to Ik1 believed the imitative craze is even more fatal in another way, for if you shoot one monkey of a band with a poisoned arrow its neigb Dor, jealous of so unusual a decoration, will snatch the arrow from it and stab itself, only to have it torn away by a third, until in succession the whole troop has committed suicide. In their wild life baboons as well ns many varieties of the monkey tribe undoubtedly submit to the authority of recognized leaders. There Is co-opera tion between them to the extent that when fighting in company one will go to the help of another which is hard pressed. In rocky ground they roll down stones upon their enemies, and when making a raid, as on an orchard which they be lieve to be guarded, the attack is con ducted on an organized plan, sentries being posted and scouts thrown out, which gradually feel their way forward to make sure that the const is clear, while the main body remains in con cealment behind until told that the road Is open. From the fact that the sentries stay posted throughout the raid, getting for themselves no share of the plunder, It has been assumed that there must be some sort of division of the proceeds afterward. Man, again, has been dif ferentiated from all other creatures as being a tool using animal, but more than one kind of monkey takes a stone in its hand and with it breaks the nuts which are too hard to be cracked with the teeth.—London Globe.
