Our most exciting sport at the Nail)?
ting ‘camp was hunting monkeys,
writes Roy Chapman Andrews in Har-i
pet’s. Every morning we heard querv
ulous potes,‘ sounding much like the‘
squealing 0! , very ..young puppies!
which were. followed by long drawn
siren walls. When the shrill notes
had reached their highest pitch they
would sink into low,':mll“tone's exceed
ingly musical. , - -,
We were inspecting a line 01' traps
placed along a trail which led up a val
ley to a wide plateau when the quer
ulous squealing abruptly ceased. We
moved on. ;alert and tense. The trees
stretched upward a full 150 feet,_~ their
tops spread out in a leafy roof. ’ In
the topmost branches or one we could
just discern a dozen halls of yellow
far from Which proceeded discordant
It was a. long range for a shotgun.
but the rifles were all in camp. I fired
a charge of “33’s” at the lowest mon
key and a; the gun roared out the
treetops suddenly sprang into life.
They were. filled with running, leaping.
hairy forms swinging at incredible
speed from? branch to branch—not a
.'dozen, but a score of monkeys, yellow,
brown and gray. . '
The one at which I had shot seemed
unaflected and threw himself full
twenty feet _to a hori2ontal limb below
and to the right. I fired again, and he
stopped, ran a few steps forward, and
mug to the under side of the branch.
At the third:charge he hung suspended
by one arm and dropped to the
ground. ’ ‘l.
We tossed him into the dry creek
bed and dashed up the hill where the
branches were still swaying. as the
monkeys traveled through the tree
tops. They had a long start .and it
was a hopeless chase. In ten min-l
utes they had disappeared and we
turned backto find the dead animal.’
It was a young male, and I knew at
once that it‘Was a gibbon (Hylobates),
for its long arms, round head and "tail

every species with which I was ta

was yellow and we knew it to be a

St. Paul & Tacoma
Lumber Company .
”For the remainder of our stay at
the Namting river camp we' devoted
ourselves to hunting. monkeys. The
gibbons soon became extremely wild.
Although the same troop could usually
be found in the valley where we had
first discovered them, they chose hill
sides on which it was almost impos~
sible to stalk them because of the
thorny jungle. We went forward only
fivhen the calls were echoing through
Hhe jungle and stood motionless as
the wailing ceased. But in spite of
all our care they would see or hear us.
Then ,in: sudden silence there would
be ~,a,7’tre_mor of the branches, splash
‘after' splash of leaves, and the herd
would swing awaythrough the track
less treetops. . - . . ,
The gibbons are well named Hylo
hates. 'or "tree walkers,” for they are
entirely arboreal and, although awk
ward and almost helpless upon.- the
ground. once their long thin hands
touch a branch they become trans
formed into veritable spirits of the
treetops. They launch themselves into
space; catch a branch twenty feet away
to swing for an instant and hurl them-'
selves‘ to another. It is possible for
them to travel through the trees faster
than a man can ‘run on open ground.

Mrs. Billtops Really Doubtel
Scale’s Accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thlng Untll Ex
planation Downed on the Fair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program. '
“We keep,” said Mr. Billtops. “a
record of Mrs. Billtop’s weight. There
is a drug store in our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
[where they have a nice beam scale,
‘and about once in ten . days or two
‘weeks we stop in there and weigh Mrs.
Billtops; and then, when we get
home, I set the weight down in the
record.
“The greatest diflerence between any
two weights taken so far this year is
two pounds; while the diflerence be
tween the Qrst weight and the one just.
taken is only three-eighths of a pound?‘;
So you can see her weight is running 1
very true. 1
“It might seem that all this was
' rather a humdrum commonplace per:
formance to go through. but ream:
there’s a good deal of variety to -i
I “For instance, in, winter,_ when sh:
is wearing a heavy dealt.- we weig
‘Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight We get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight or the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
-ord; . . . ~
“So you see it is not all quite so
simple as it seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
{time her lighter-weight spring coat,
we ran into a regular incident. «
“After weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat he
tore starting out, but this was a light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops;
removed her ’coat and we weighed her ‘
with the coat 01!. But do you know.
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat oi’il as she did with it on!
S‘Mrs. Billtops and I looked at each
other in mild. amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing'on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had Just removed!
“I am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as I am, but we
both laughed at that; and really I
should say that taking everything to
gether we get a let of fun out of weigh
ing Mrs. Billtops."-—New York Times.

‘ Don’t let anybody fool himself with
the idea that he can grow oranges
anywhere in Florida, writes John A.
~Sleicher in Leslie’s Weekly. The or
ange needs a soil adapted to it. It
thrives best not in the white sand you
see under the pines. but in a yellow
loam. The pines are cut or burned
and the palmetto cleared away. Then
the land is plowed and harrowed at a
cost of about $25 per acre for clearing
with colored labor at 18 cents an hour.
Then five-year-old budded stock is
planted. It comes from the nurseries
carefully boxed and packed and looks 1
like a sawed-oi! young tree about two
or three inches in diameter. The
acreage is first carefully plotted out in
regular rows, with stakes 25 feet apart.
A hole is (ing and the orange tree is
‘ carefully mm in. at a depth of two or
three feet. . A basin is left about the
tree into which a quantity of water is
poured and then the soil is teaped up
to «the level. or higher, a - circum
'stancesmay require. These young or
ange“ trees cost from 75- cents to 82'
