T changed the form of the contnand and said, "Mike, give me that cup!" He knew the moaning of the word "cup," At °neo he picked up the bowl and gave it to me. To me, one of the most surprising things about a chimpanzee is that he understands holy to express affection and gratitude by hugging and klssin without being taught. I have seen a young chimpanzee that had just ar- rived from Africa throw his arms about the neck of a man he had never seen before and ing him passionately. This was,rdoubtless, caused in part by fear of the unaccustomed surround- ings, but it was mingled with genuine affection for one whom the little crea- ture recognized as near to his of 'o kind. A cliimpanzee I knew quite well got into the habit of pulling my hand to, his mouth and biting my fingers while I was trying to talk about him. He was only playing, and did not intend to hurt me, but in his efforts to gab my hand to his mouth are would some- times bite harder than he intended, and it was tiring to have him pulling at me when I was trying to talk. One morning I got tired of his pulling mrd biting and gave him a light tap with a stick on his bare arm. Instantly be stopped and tur-ted his pretty brown eyes up to mine with an expression of surprise and incredulity, as if he could not believe that I would hit him. After looking at me intently -ler about a half minute, he put up his little black arms, folded them about my neck and hugged me three tunes hard before he let me go. His show of affection and wounded feelings al- most brought teats to my eyes. No human , child could have toad more plainly what was in his mind and heart than a ltd the little chimpanzee. t • Insect items. Spiders have eight eyes. There are 170 different species of bees in Great Britain. 'A single Sound of the finest spider webs would roach round the world. Bees weighing one pound in weight comprise over five thousand. insects. A fly walks—in proportion to its size --thirteen tinlee as fast as a man can run. The speed of the arouse -lay is usually 26 feet a second. But, when pursuit, it attains a speed of 160 feet a second. Grasshoppers in South America are the largest known. In that country they attain to a length of five Inches, and their wings spread out ten Inches. Wasps' nests are said to take fire very often because of chemical action of the wax upon the material of the nest Itself. This might explain many of the mysterious fires up and down the country. Insecta which spend most of their. lives in a torpid or semi -torpid condi. tion are seldom injured and never hilted by being frozen. There are numerous Instances of travellers in mountain regions having found bee- tles and butterflies above the snow line which were stiff, frozen, and apparent- ly dead. When carried down to the warmer' air in the valleys, however, they revived in a very short time. Odd Facts From Foreign Parts It is, except in Chinn, as far from A to B as it is front; B to A.

It has also beet noticed that when the cows all Ile down in the fields rain very often fol lows before long, usually of a more or less violent character.

When rail was de sired they would sally forth with jars of water, which they calhlly poured down the backs of any old women who happened to be passing.
