the ordinary effort OF the brook trout,
and very quick striking seemed to be
necessary to success. The character,
OF the trout has decidedly altered and
very much for the better; whereas
formerly the inhabitants OF the
Treweryn were rather long, black, and
compared with other streams in the
neighborhood, of decidedly inferior
quality, both as regards appearance
and merit for the table, now the fish
are bright, clean, firm, fat and square,

CAN MONKEYS TALKP
Results Of Scientists Experiments
The Phonograph Used.

New YORK, June IA writer in the
Herald believes he is on the road to a
solution of an interesting scientific
problem. He comes to the conclusion,
after many years of study, that mon
keys communicate with each other by
means OF articulate speech, and that
their speech contains the rudiments
from which the tongue of mankind
could easily develop, and it seems quite
possible to find proofs that such is the
origin Of human speech.
In pursuing this theory, the great
difficulties he met with were to utter
sounds he heard from monkeys, to re-
call and TO translate them. Finally
the idea of using phonograph dawned
upon him, and he tells his experiments
in the following words
al went to Washington and called
upon DR.. Frank Baker, director of the
National Geological Gardens, and pro-
posed novel experiment, acting rs in
terpreter between two monkeys. The
plan WAS quite simple. We separated
two monkeys which had been Gagged to.
gether and placed them in separate
rooms. then arranged a phonograph
near the cage OF the female and caused
her to utter a few sounds, which were
recorded on the cylinder. The ma
chine was then placed near the cage
containing the male and the recorded
Sounds were repeated to him. His con-
duct was closely studied and the sur.
prise and perplexity OF the male we're
evident.
He traced the sounds to the horn
from which they came, and failing to
find his mate he thrust his hand and
arm into the horn quite up to his shoul-
der. Then he withdrew it and peeped
into the horn again and again. He
would then retreat and again cautious
ly approach the horn, which he ex.
amincd with evident interest. We
were satisfied that he recognized the
sounds as those of his mate, and thus,
for the first time in the history of phil.
ology, the Simian tongue was reduced
to record"
In the gardens at New York, Cbica.
go and Cincinnati he obtained other
records on the photograph, and after
diligent study became. able to utte,
sounds to which he had affixed trans
lations. Thus equipped he tried an.
other interesting experiment, which
thus is related: Having described &c
some friends who were with me the

On repeating it some two or three or
four times he answered me very dis
tinctly with the same word had used
and then turned to small pan kept in
the cage for him to drink from.
al repeated the word again and he
stepped near the front OF the cage and
came quite up to the bars and uttered
the word. l had not shown him any
milk or anything OF the kind, but the
man in charge then brought me some
milk, Which gave to him and he drank
it with great zest, then looked at me,
held up the pan and repeated the sound
some three or four times. gave him
more milk and thus continued till
was sure he used the same sound each
time he wanted milk.

were with me word which was very
hard to render well, but / translated it
to eat now held banana in front
OF the cage and he at once gave the
word 1 had described. Repeated tests
showed to me that he used the same
word for apple, carrot, bread and ba-
mana. Hence l concluded it meant
food or hunger-as also to eat.
"After this / began on the word
which had interpreted pain OF SICK
and with such results as made me feel
quite sure l was not far from right.
My next word was weather or Storm
and while the idea may seem far
fetched, l felt fairly well sustained by
my tests. For many other words had
a vague idea of the meaning, and still
believe that can verify them in the
end.
"These are only few of many trials
have made to solve the problem of the
Simian tongue, and while l have only
gone a step. as it were, I believe that I
have found clew to the great secret OF
speech and pointed out the way which
leads TO its solution.

place for the survivors of the civil
war who are still on the pay rolls of

was at the time of the war a sparsely
populated Territory, there are now
2,155 pensioners living here, besides
some veterans who are not on the
pension rolls. The largest number OF
these live in King county, where
there are 1888, Pierce county coming

SHE HAS NOT HEARD.
Mrs. J. Fldridge Pierce Does not Know
Where Her Husband IL.

It was learned yesterday that j. Ed
ridge Pierce, the dafaulting secretary
and treasurer Of the City Loan Assoeis-
tion. is now in London aud living off the
money he stole while in this city. He
left this city on November "a. Af5er
| leaving this city he went to New York,
and there told some friends that he was
going to Chicago, but instead he went to
London by way of Liverpool, on tie
steamer City Of Berlin. The steamer
sailed on November 26.
Mrs. Pierce said this afternoon TO an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter: "rhe story
published in the Morning News this
morning was entirely wrong
as TO the dates. Mr.
Pierce evidently had this thing planned
out long before, and knew Just
when be was going to leave
and where he was going. but
be made a confident OF no one ana l know
nothing, whatever, about IL. He lett
here onNovem ber II and said be was going
to Chicago TO visit his brother This
was when | thought he had gone and
thought nothing about it until this dc
noument came.
1t is preposterous to suppose that
under the circumstances under which
he left that he would remain
in New York from November II to Jan
usiy 26 Instead he would more likely
get cut Of the country as quickly as posi-.
BILE.
The story as published in the Morning
News was probably only street rumor, as
no one exactlv knows where he is At the
end Of the article was paragraph saying
that it was rumored that shortly
after Christmas he left London and went
to Brazil This might be true as this is the
only country where refugees Of this class
are safe, but the whole is only a matter
of conjecture, and no one knows where
he is
he knew that he would have to leave
sometime aud therefore it is unreason
able to suppose that he remained
in New York from November ~ TO
November 26. hut it is more probable
that he left on November 10 on another
steamer of the InmRn
A man we'll known in this city said
that he wss in New YORK at the time that
Pierce came there and that the latter
spent money very lavishly He showed
the man mis- ticket to London. and said
he would leave the next day"
