DENIZENS OF THE ROCK.
Monkeys Are Protected by Martial Law
at Gibraltar.
A recent periodical gives a picture of
"Major," lhe chief of Me highly prized
and carefully protected tribe of Barbary
apes which inhabit the Rock of Gibraltar.
"Better kill the governor himself than
Major" is a saying of the redress. There
are only about twenty left of this band
of monkeys, which in some mysterious
manner came over from Africa many
years ago and claimed citizenship in. Eur-
ope. They are protected by martial law,
and any addition by birth to their num.
be is carefully chronicled and menounced
in the local paper.
The apes change Blair place of resi-
dence from the highest peaks of the rock
te lower and more sheltered portions,
and back again, according to the stale
of the weather. They sliow their sense
of humor by throwing stones at the sold-
iers, but they aro often not seen for
weeks at a time. save in the early morn-
ing. One visitor to Gibraltar did not
get a glimpse ot them at all. In "A S1.1111 -

Ramsay snye:
"We did not, see the monkeys, If Ave

otir friends saw Men large, ones and
two babies. The mothers put the little
ones down and mado them Mom about."
A few years ago, on arcount of the
diminishing numbers of these animals,
some apes were procured from Barbery
and fumed loose upon the rock. 13tit
resident monkeys instantly killed them

their own kind, they never attack human
