Monkeys and Monstrous Tales at City Zoo and Court

A long mixed page recounts Alexander the ape boy story and a Monte Carlo murder case. It also notes four young chimps housed at the North Muam Mal House and a King Faud royal yacht with a nine and a half knot speed on the Nile. The annual Zoological Society report lists food and supplies for the zoo, and a French soldier literacy program led by Mme Simon. Finally a Paris court voids a marriage contract amid a contentious separation and divorce case.

Remains From Neolithic Cairn and Local Historic Celebrations

Workmen uncover remains in a Neolithic or early Bronze Age cairn near Alerderi shire as a dig uncovers fragments of bones, including a child skull, with signs of prior disturbance. Montgomery marks its charter birthday and church history, while a 1460s palatine hall and Shakespearian proximity are noted. A Turkish village boy narrowly avoids burial alive after a hospital ward burial ritual, and Rhineland hair tax enforcement prompts measures on women’s hair length. The Martinus family lineage is traced to 13th century origins with global dispersion to Australia and Europe.

Legless Hero Bravely Swims to Shore at Santiago

A beggar with disabilities swam a mile through shark-infested waters near Santiago, Cuba to raise funds for his daughter's medical care. Spectators jeered but his courage inspired admiration as a crowd afterward raised several hundred dollars for the family, with the daughter's recovery hoped for. The rest of the page details an art exhibition at the Hirkiah Museum and various prints, engravings, and rare works, plus London social fashion notes and Leander Club evening dress.
