When the shrill' notes had reached their highest pitch they , I would sink into low, full tones exceed ingly musical. We were Inspecting a line of 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 1150 feet, their tops spread out In a leafy roof. In the topmost branches of one vro could just discern a dozen balls of yellow fur from which proceeded discordant walls. It was a long range for n shotgun, but the rifles were all In camp. I fired a charge of "BB's" at the lowest mon key and as the gun roared out tho treetops suddenly sprang Into life. They were filled with runtilng', leaping, hairy forms swinging at Incredible epeed from branch to branch not a dozen, but a score of monkeys, yellow, brown and gray. T The one at which I hatf shot seemed unaffected and threw himself full twenty feet to a horizontal limb below and to the right I fired again, and he stopped, ran a few steps forward, and swung to the under side pf the branch. rAt the third charge he .hung suspended by one arm and dropped to the ground. 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 utes they had disappeared .and, we turned back to And the dejtd, animal.

Unthinkable Towers of Silence "Still Maintained In Heart of Most Fash lonable Residential District Population Now Million. Bombay now has nearly 1,000,000 in habitants. At the beginning of the nineteenth century It nlrcudy hud 200. 000 and early In the twentieth century the census takers counted 059,537 souls, Eleanor Franklin Egnn writes In the Saturday Evening Tost.' Nearly 700,000 of these nre Hindus and 150, 000 are Mohammedans, while less than 10,000 nre Christians, counting both pure European and nilxed blood. There are about 60,000 Parsis, and the Parsis are the most interesting and important element In the community. t Is to British Initiative and example and to ParsI appreciation, intelligence and generosity that Bombay owes the fact of her present existence as one of the most beautiful cities In the world. Yet the Pnrsls still maintain thfc tin 'thinkable towers of Aliened In the heart and center 6t Bombay's most fashionable residential district the towers of sIIenceT where the Pnrsl dead are disposed of by the forever Hover ing horrible flocks of kited, which on occasion grow gorged rind careless and Wop human flesh and little, bones In the flowering fragrant gardens of the great on Malabar hill.

There Is n quaint old legend ol Alsace concerning a family of glanti 'who, once upon a time, lived In a cer tain castle In a certain valley of the 5ld country. Tho moral of the storj seems appropriate at n time when thf French minister of ngrlculture, to men tion but one of the allies, is making special effort to encournge tho culti vation of land. The giants lived, says tho legend, far from the peasants of tho plain, jtnd ono dny the daughter of tho house, who, though quite a child, was already 50 feet high, strolled toward 4ho plain and saw a laborer peacefully plowing his field. Sho picked up tho peasant, the horse and tho plow and put them In her pinafore and returned to the castle to short what she had found to lior fnthpr. 1 "What ydu think Is but a toy," said the giant, "is what produces tho food which enables us toTllvo. Put bock the laborer rind His horse where you found them." From that time onward, adds the talc, tho peasants we're never more molested by the giants. Christian Sclenco Monitor. " Stomach and Liver.
