Show IS THIS MISSING LINK? Jt:rl'&rM&Ai-7tf' -l Ml sva J fir i M What was thought to be the missing link was brought Into the port of New York by Captain Marsch of the Dutch steamed Medon, which arrived from Pedang, Java. The little animal is of the family known as anthropoid ape. This midget of the gorilla family stands only three feet high and walks continually on its hind legs, and wears his coat of bristly hair eight Inches long. The little animal is a congenial fellow always laughing a quiet, contagious con-tagious chuckle, that makes the hearer wonder what the Joke Is. He is very nimble, being able to make an 18-foot lllght from a swinging trapeze, without with-out any apparent effort. The little ape was caught In the Jungles of Java and has bananas, soft boiled eggs and rice for his chief diet. |
