The fatal crash which brought about his sojourn at the zoo occurred one day when & priceless Ming vase was pushed from the bookcase by the ruthless little monkey.

The boat had stopped at the little island of Chiriqui, oft the coast of Panama, and FF g upon-a cruel scene. Tn natives were seated in a a iesle around a post to which a little' mon- key was tied and were playing a hideous game of spitting at him. The little animal was seated obin in hand gazing far off over their heads at a palm 'tree beyond and seemed un- aware of their existence. Mr. Beebe took in the situation at a glance and | stepping briskly into the center of the circle threw dowa $16 and gath- ered up the monkey and strode away. Since then Chiriqui has been his de- voted slave. When Mr. Beebe goes to see his small friend at the zoo the monkey is full of animation and chat- ters incessantly and when Mr. Beebe leaves, he stretches his arms through the bars of the cage and waves to Jin until he is out of sight. ~#'@hiriqui 1s happiest when he is on board ship, where he romps and plays with a puppy and a kitten 'and is pampered and fed in the cook's gal ° ley.

By utilizing - some 50,000 tons of water, hte amount displaced by a large liner, it would be possible to remove Irsland to the deeper portion of the Atlantic Ocean, The heat obtainable from the same' quantity of water would suffice to maintain the polar regions at the temperature of the Sahara for a thousand years. "The liberation of this emergy na- turally will reviutionize travel and transport. Concerning the nature of the vehicles it is rash to prophesy. Passengers will travel in enormously swift airplanes which will .scend and {descend vertically. Goods will be ear- ried cheaply and rapidly by land or sea, propelled by motors whose fuel bill will be almost nil." But if this source of energy is not tapped by 2029, we need not worry; others are available. As we are re- minded: "Some authoritative scien:ists do' not believe that the solution of the power problem will be reached along thes~ lines. They consider that eithdr the winds or the tides will be forced to yield up their energy. Water-power is too unevenly distributed cver the earth's surface, and to much affected by seasonal variations, ever to become the principal source of the world's energy; but the winds are ever still, and the tides flow and ebb~with un- varying precision. _ "If the winds were harnessed they eould produce a siperabundance of cheap wore. During storm~ weather their surplus energy could be stored in a variety of ways and so be avail- able during calms. "The exploitation of tical energy presents difficulties which have yet to be solved in a satisfactory manner. those of principle but of technique; and if the wealth and the serious en- gineering attention of the world were focussed on the question for ten years, there is no doubt that they would be overcome.

Marriage will become wholly changed. Further, the character of the future inhabitants could be determined by government.
