to look at him, dnd whs-f be nad repeated
it three or four times very distinctly the
monkey repeated the sound and turned to
a pan kept in his cage for supplying him
with drink, brought the pan 10 the front of
the cage, came quite up to the bars and
uttered the word himself, though as yet
Professor Garner had not shown him any
milk or any other drink. Then, and not
till then, milk was brought and poured
into the pan, which the monkey drank
with great Zest, and then repeated the
sound again some three or four times.
And Professor Garner found that when
he wanted his pan replenished he always
used the same sound And as, when water
was used instead of milk, the same word
WAS repeated TO express the desire for it,
the Inference was drawn that the word de.
noted either liquid or the thirst which was
satisfied by liquid. The same experiment
WAS tried with sound which Professor
Garner discovered TO be always used in con.
nection with solid food, Ii banana or a ear
rot, bit of bread or an apple: and as the
same word seemed to apply to all of them
equally, Professor Garner inferred that the
word described either solid food in general
or the hunger for it.
And in the same way he discovered the
sound which described pain or sickness.
and another which expressed either sense
of danger or "A threat, the effect of its ut.
terance being to alarm the monkeys via.

that the creature became almost frantic
with dread; nor would this monkey even
allow himself to be attracted by the words
for drink or food after he mad once learned
to associate Professor Garner with this
sound, expressive of either danger or
menace.
IN this fashion Professor Garner OBJ
tanned the mastery of about eight or nine
sounds, which may be changed by different
mOdulationS into three or four times that
number, so as to express modified forms OF
the same word, all of them chiefly vowel
sounds with the barest indication of some
thing like "A cousonant; and these sounds
