Darwin tells of a female orangoutang
that took hold of a dish in which her food.
was sserved,:and put IL on her bead as if
it Were a hat. - Thus adorned site f pro-
voked roars of laughter, to her evident
'gratificatien, from the crowd around
her cage. .
Another naturalist saw a baboon get
even kvitb. an-ogicer who had often teased
-him. Seeing 'the oflicer approaching the
baboon poured *some water into a hole
in the ground, mixihg it with earth so
as to' make mud.' When 'his enemy came
up he splashed the nendety water on the
officer's uniform. For a long time after
Oa every time the animal saw the oni-
ter lie indulged in what had every ap-
pearance of. being laughter.
Savflle Kentadeclares that dolphins are
fprid of teasing other fish by seizint their
tail's and dragging them through the wa-
ter. Ile• once saw 'two dolphins attack
a big skate swiminiug near the surface
of the water.. The skate tried to escape'
them by raising its tail out of water, but
the dolphin got held of it and dragged
the skate in every direction. .
Foals will often lease human beings
by galloping toward them, as if intend -
Ing to run -them down, then stopping
short within an uncomfortable short
step or two.
Gross, the naturalist, relate Several
amuSing instances of a similar natUre
about dogs. He had once a dog' who,
when givens a piece of bread that he dad
not .care to 'eat, dropped it, and then,
lying upon it, pretended to look• all
arohnd .with. the most; innocent air, WS
if wondering where it had .fallen.
Another case he„spealts of is that of a
terrier whose greatest pleasure it was
to 'catch flies on the window panes.
Nothing 'annoyed the animal more than
to be laughed at when he missedhis
prey, "
"In order to discover what he would
do," says Gross, "I purposely laughed
immoderately each time he waS unsuc-
cessful, and the more I laughed tile
clumsier he grew.' •
"At last he was se:unmietakably an-

photographs of Peree of the, most re-

FAMOUS EQUESTRIAN DINNER
given some time ago at Sherry's', when
every diner was on horseback. "Each

flowers in theerniddle of which was a
trough of corn—not for the guests., but
the horses. Between every two horses
there were Three stens, leading to a Plat-
form ori which the wafters, dressed as
grooms, served the gUesis. , When I
took the flashlight the horses gave a hit
jump; which, however, did not dis-
turb the riders.
"An interesing dinner Which' I photo-
graphed was that given by, the Kettle
Club. of America, when tha diners, thir-
ty-four in number, enjoyed a`banquet 4n -

cauldron, which was slung on a tripdce
and hung over an electric fine.
"Ther- Mr. Muschenheim, of the Hotel
Astor, gave 11 fish dinner sorne thne ago,
which was highly successful and one
of the prettiest banquets J have ever
photographed. 'The` table represented a
huge fish, 40 feet long, the scales of
which. were formed by fresh tosebuds.
The eyes of the monster were realisti-
cally fashioned by small plants,' while
ihe head was matte .of various blos.eorns.
The name of eaCh guest was weitten in-
side a darn shell, which alsce contained
