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.
