MONKEYS LIKE MACARONI.
DIET AT THE ZOO. As the result of visiting the London Zoo on 300 days a year during the last nine or ten years, Mr J. E. Saunders, F.Z.S-, has discovered the likes and dislikes of the animals and birds. From that experience he always suggests tto his friends that the best things to take with them to the Zoo for feeding the animals and birds are grapes, sliced crfrrot, figs, lettuce, cucumber, raisins, and uncooked macaroni; and macaroni may turn out to be the most popular. «Anyone ” (he writes in the London Daily News) “ who has ever seen (and heard) a baboon or large monkey crunching sticks of macaroni will not need to be told what to take with him next time. Peanuts (or monkey nuts) are not so popular as the public imagine. Some creatures like them, but many animals are as surfeited with them as the war-time soldier was with cornecl beef.”
