Monkeys* in Mines. Captain E. Moss, who has lately returned to London from the Transvaal, tells the story of the monkeys who • work for him in the mines :— " I have twenty-four monkeys," said he, " employed aibout my mines. . They do the work of seven able-bodied men, and It is no reflection upon the human labourers to say that they do a class of work a man cannot do as well as they. In many instances they lend valuable aid where a man is useless. They gather .up the small pieces of the qua-rft that '■would be passed unnoticed by tl<e working men." -• . ■ -
