This remarkable ape, extraordinarily human-like in its manners and ways, gives a splendid exhibition. When first seen Adam appears to be in a rather morose mood in a chair. The weather is so hot that at the suggestion of the professor Adam removes his coat and gratefully accepts a fan. The question of dinner is then discussed and Adam focuses his attention on the bill of fare with all the interest of an epicure. A bottle of wine is shared by the two friends, the ape seeing to it that he gets his. After dinner a game of cards, followed by a pipe, with which we will leave him, although we have described only a few of his many accomplishments.
