WHY THE OURANG-OUTANG DO°
SPEAK.
on
I have been asked by men of the first e—
and talents whether any thing really deficieeti
Joe
been discovered in the organs of the ourang;ot,
to prevent him from speaking! The reteb-ef%
give me leave to place this matter correctil certv(
him. In speaking, there is first required e aleo?,
force of expired air, or an action of the tritrdol;
respiration l;
in the second place, the vocal c:-to 0:11
the top of the wind-pipe must be drawn ie
cordance by their muscles, else no vihrfatiloPelj
take place, and no sotuld issue; thirdlY•ithti, c°l,;
passages of the throat must be expanueelegfil
tracted, or extended by their numerous mus"
correspondence with the condition of the '10;
chords or glottis ; and these must all arlottt
before even a simple sound is produced• per
articulate that sound, so that it may becontead
of a conventional language, there must beat tb:
ed an action of the pharynx, of the palate' •00 (,°-#
tongue and lips. The exquisite organio';,ice
all this is not visible in the organs of the IT"ert
they are called; it is to be found in theniliie fif
which combine all these various parts i° oer
multaneous act. The meshes of the spideAr'ssiolllo;
or the cordage of a man-of-war, are few eel nest,compared with the concealed filaments 0 sl.°o
which move these parts; and if but one blighted
ing, or its tone or action disturbed ill theli otte:of
degree, every body knows how a rorlfiVand ',17;
with his mouth open, twisting his tnfiefi nOtion
in vain attempts to utter a word. V„''ssocitit,"•tie
pear that there must be distinct lino 0'
suited to the organs of voice—different tilhiog
them in the bark of a dog, in the oeigf,`; ;the
horse, or in the shrill whistle of the hot
there are wide distinctions in the stre°:",ciiii; re
different classes of animals is most eer`ihete
independently of those which are appareetng
secret and minute varieties in the associatl wit
eod,
The ape, therefore, does not artictilP!te7.slls ljeee
cause the organs are not perfect t° ;ate t
Secondly, because the nerves do not as is
o,
organs in that variety of action which iszteriPrt of
to speech. And, were all the etbat ti"
paratus perfect, there is no impulse to
speaking.-4ell's ..lriclgewater Treatise.
