CHIMPANZEE BABY

ARRIVAL AT LONDON ZOO. MUCH PHOTOGRAPHED STAR. (By Air Mail—Special to News.) London, June 27. The little baby chimpanzee, bom at the London Zoo on February 12, and of course christened Jubilee, had her first photograph taken on March 8. Since then—an occasion which might count as her social debut, or coming out —Jubilee has, besides being the pet and star turn of all visitors, been more photographed than any film star. Her mother is 800-800, a naturalised Cockney resident at the Zoo, and her father' is Ko-KO, by adoption a Bristolian, who lives in the beautiful little Clifton Zoo. 800-800 is devotedly attached to her small offspring, which in look's and ways so amazingly caricatures the human baby that Jubilee might be cited as a strong supporter of the Darwinian theory. When, after being fed exclusively by her mamma, Jubilee was first put on a non-matemal diet of orange juice, 800-800 at once realised for whom the cup was intended, but insisted, like a wise nurse, on testing it herself before giving it to Jubilee. Wonderful to relate, for it is unprecedented in the history of chimps, 800-800 allows Keeper Shelley to nurse her baby.
