Love as Fires Sight.

Believers in the possibility of love at first sight may feel a sympathetic Interest, and perhaps find a Darwinian argument, In a story iff the first meeting, of two apes In the London Zoo. We retell the tale from "Wild Animals ifi Captivity.” Sarah was seated alone In her cage, when a new ape made his appearance in front of the bars. Instantly both animals uttered short cries, and bending toward each other, protruded their thin Ups until they met across the bars of the cage. Then, as the keeper threw open the cage door, the apes rushed into each other's arms and squatting on the floor, hugged each other with comic affection. In a few seconds they rose, and standing erect, raised their arms above their heads, grasped each other’s front pairs, and screamed and howled in mutual appreciation. Let us hope that they Uved happy ever after.
