(July, '28.) —-Martin Johnson

For many years my wife, Osa, and I have been deeply interested in apes and monkeys and have had several as pets, but we learned most about them at. our cabinet Paradise Lake in British East Africa. In this spot, well beyond the haunts of men, the animal liie is like that which Adam and Eve must have known.

Our particular breed of tree-folk was the Chacma baboon. This fel- low is of an olive dun color weigh- ing around 50 pounds. l-Iis long hair makes him look much larger. Like other species he is gregarious and lives mostly in the tree-tops. The individuals go about by fam- ilies; the families in turn stick close- ly to their group or tribe.

From our windows we could al- ways see baboons, in trees or at the lake, and often we have estimated that there were more than 2000 in sight at one time.

One tribe dwelt among the rocks near a cool stream that never went dry. Their leafy beds were built on ledges, high out of reach of man or leopard, and we used to watch them moving along their narrow paths so slowly that they seemed to behold- ing their breaths in fear. Once, while watching them on the ground we suddenly startled an old female, who, dashing off with a scream, started a stampede. One little fei- low was left behind. Hoping to catch him for a pet, I ran after him. He glanced over his should- er, squealing with terror, as he saw me overtaking him. Suddenly he

GIIIING DIGESTION A GOOD ART

Illtal all Hangar-J. I. Barnett.

Sin-At the annual meeting of the Potato Growers’ Association held on the 14th of last month, Senator Hughes pointed out that in all pro- bability the potato warehouse then under construction in Charlotte- town would not be ready for busi- ness this Fail, and that the ware- house proposed to be built on the site of the one burned might not be ready either. Under these cir- cumstances he stressed the advisa- bility of improving the railway fac- ilities on the Georgetown branch so

You have perhaps heard oi the Russian scientist Pavlov and his experiments on dogs.

At the feeding how he rang a bell and the dogs learned to expect their food when the bell rang, and the digestive juice oi the stomach immediately began to flow. _ l-Ie was able to show that the very sound of the bell was sufficient to cause a flow of this stomach juice. The ear of the dog associated feed- ing time with the ringing of the bell.

It has been demonstrated also that the very sight oi food is suffic- ient not only to cause the digestive juice oi the mouth to flow, but the digestive juice oi the stomach also. Likewise also the smell of iood can make the stomach digestive Juice flow.

And you know oi course that the taste of food will do so also. Thus we see that the eye, the ear, the nose, besides the tongue, all ent.er into the matter oi appetite and the actual digestion oi food. And this of course simply means that the brain enters into this matter of digestion to a very marked extent. Now whether the brain enters

At a meeting oi the Council of ' the Board of Trade held in Char- lottetown last Monday. a commit- tee was appointed 't_o speed up the ~ construction oi the warehouses there but nothing was done or suggested in regard to the Georgetown branch \ of the railway, and this was surely an oversight, because we will need all the facilities that can be pr_o- vided a‘t Char‘ ‘ n, side and Georgetown. Unfortunately, Mr. Johnston who represents King's County, attends no trade meetings, nor does he take any interest in trade matters. Per-

into it or not the stomach juice will flow when food enters the stomach. In fact if a rubber ball is put into the stomach and partly fills it, the walls of the stomach will try to churn it the same u if it were food, and juice will fiow. But you sec when the brain enters into it by the use of the eye, the ear, the smell, and the taste, the Juice act- ually flows into stomach from the glands in its walls before food ever enters the stomach.

Thus by the time the food does reach the stomach it has certafnly

decided it was no use, he didn't have a chance. He stopped, lay down on the rock and covered his eyes with his tiny hands. Trembling all over he lay there, sobbing. He acted exactly as if he kncw I were going to kill him, and couldn't bear to see my hand uplifted to strike.

I picked him up. His heart was going like a trip-hammer. He mov- ed his hand a bit from one eye and peered at me. Tile sight oi my face so close was too much. He pressed his hand quickly back and cried out in desperation. When I found I couldn't soothe him I set him

order that they shall become right, they must adopt‘ "our" opinion, "our" form, “our” viewpoints, and accept "our" coloring of thc qucs- tion at issue. This is a mischief- makipg prejudice, unworthy of men and women in an enlightened age like ours, and only the hopelessly biased permit themselves to yield to it". This prejudice is more marked and capable of more widespread in- jury perhaps in modern politics than elsewhere. Many take their politics more seriously than their religion, more seriously even than ‘they do their own business. It is a relic of the old savage tribal con- ception of safety first. To them all that were not of them were ene- mies and self-preservation demand- ed that they should treat them as enemies. After centuries of civil- ization this relic of saviagery should have been eliminated before this, but it still breaks out in times of acute competition. The dyed-in- the wool are still with us. Who, for example, can convince the warped Liberal that the Conservative pol- icy of Canada for the Canadians means anything that is not already embodied in Liberalism. Or who can convince the dyed-in-the-wool Conservative that any good thing can come out of Liberalism? Who can convince the prejudiced prohi- bitionlst that prohibition docs not prohibit, or that thc court records with their history of failure, are not inspired by the liquor interests? Prejudice, political. religious otherwise, means intolerance, and both prejudice and intolerance are part of our heritage from our an- cestral aavagery.

Briefly this policy is Can- ada for the Canadians. from which Canada has suffered in several years are well- knownand the causes which have brought them about are clearly un- derstood. We are dissipating our raw material, of which we have s. greater abundance than any other part of the continent. porting goods manufactured in oth- er countries largely out of Canadian material, and by Canadian work- men in foreign countries. such a system as this will mean no growth or development to Canada. Mr. Bennett adheres rigidly and un- fiinchingly to the which placed Canada among the most progressive nations world, building up its industries by careful conservation of Canadian interests, Canadian materials and Canadian employment. short time, probably within the next year, the people of Canada will be asked to decide between the cham- eleon policy on the one hand and a. clear cut definite national policy on the other. The various questions in this connection are now being freely, and fully discussed and it is up to the people to give them careful con-

$31,000,000 circulates amongst Am- erican farmers instead of amongst Cansldian farmers. Imagine what a difference if our farmers had this extra $31,000,000 every year to spend in Canada. It would keep Cana- dian factories going, and would keep Canadian workmen employed, and this would still further add to the farmers‘ market. There were near‘y 1,000,000 farmers‘ customers driven Iout of Canada in the 5 years ending 1925 by lowering Canadian tariff,

If our townspeople said to our farmers: “We'll sell to you, but we won't buy from you," would our farmers like that? Decidcdly not! Well, the United States says to Canada, "You can only sell to us over a 60% tariff wail," and Canada meckly replies to the United States, "You may sell to us over a 20% tariff wall." Net loss to Canada. every ycar-$200,000,000 to $300,001- 000. This fooiish policy sacrifices Canadian farmers.

A young baboon is a funny crea- ture. Hls head is too big, his eyes grotesquely large, and his stomach all out oi proportion to the_rest of him. In his first year he is almost as hairless as a baby; and his tall is like a rat's. But to his mother he is rnost beautiful; she fondles him by the hour. If there is an al- arum thclittle one takes a running jump to its mother's back, and rides away like a little jockey, sitting starkly upright, not afraid now that he has his fingers deep in the fur of the one who protects him. If he gets tired of sitting up, he may lie down. and I believe even go to sleep. Yet he never falls off, no matter whether the mother is rac- ing wildly over the ground or mak- ing hair-raising leaps aloft.

I think most monkey children are disciplined by their elders more sc- vcrely than human children are. Young monkeys are always getting into scrapes, being cuffed and howl- ing at the tops of their lungs. If a baby grabs a berry or leaf it is not supposed to eat and puts it into his mouth the mother doesn't hesitate to pry open the jaws and rake out the forbidden article.

Baboon babies play a great deal. They have a regular game of tagin which one tweaks another's ear or tail and then the whole crowd go after the offender. The old males are most resentful of gaiety among the young. Perhaps a pair of youngsters will be wrestling and roiling about and squealing — a common sight. Sooner or later the fun or the racket gets on the nerves of some old baboon who leaves ofi his scratching and yawning to come over and take a waliop at the play- ers. Pretending not to notice them till almost on top of them, he brisk- ly darts out a hairy arm and heavy palm for a cuff that sends the in- nocents over and over in the dust, screaming bloody murder. The mo- thers never interfere in such cir- cumstances.

The old males seem to get in- creasingly irritable with age. At night they make a terrific racket for hours before they seem able to get to bed. We slipped up close to

haps he does not understand such things. But worse still, if any other person tries to have these things looked after, Mr. Johnston isliable to resent it, and that may be the reason the Board oi ‘Trade at its recent meeting did not mention the railway or warehouse in King's.

The outlet through Georgetown is, however, too important a pro- vincial matter to be neglected. No matter what may be done at Char- lottetown, if the Georgetown spout be not equippe ' so that every pos- sible bushel of otatocs that can be sent that way from the opening of the season till the close of naviga- tion. does not go out. the export trade of the province will be greatly injured.

I therefore beg to strongly re- ,commend that Messrs. Poole dz ‘Thompson and Messrs. John A. MacDonald 8a Co. call a. meeting oi the King's County shippers at an early date in Charlottetown to in- tervlew the railway authorities and see what can be done. I feel sure that the Board of Trade and the Potato Growers’ Association will give all the help they can. But if anybody else has any better sug- gestion to make, lct it bc adopted.
