We learn from the _Colonies_ that a monkey signalman manages the railway
traffic at Witenhage, South Africa. The human signalman has had the
misfortune to lose both his legs, and has trained a baboon to discharge
his duties. Jacky pushes his master about on a trolly, and, under his
directions, works the lever to set the signals with a most ludicrous
imitation of humanity. He puts down the lever, looks round to see that
the correct signal is up, and then gravely watches the approaching train,
his master being at hand to correct any mistake.
