TO CONVERSE WITH GORILLAa
Prof. Garner Proposes to Talk With Them in
Their Native Wilds.


DROF. r. L. GARNER, WHO HAS
Il achieved a recent celebrity in connection
with the study Of monkey language, is in Wash
ington consulting with scientific men respect-
ing an expedition to Africa which he proposes
to make For some years past he has devoted
attention to the analysis of simian speech, his
purpose being to produce lexicon thereof
Once having established an understanding Of
few of the simpler words used by these arbo-
real cousins of mankind he believes that it will
be easy enough to communicate with them in
diligently. Thus they may be educated in
limited degree and may be taught to be of some
service in the world.
Prof. Gamers present intention is to learn
something Of the speech of gorilla. These
the anthropoids; they are rapidly diminishing
In numbers, and it is desired to secure q few
last words from them, at all events. before
their kind becomes extinct. Accordingly, he
proposes to sail few weeks hence for the west
coast o. Africa, whence he will make his way
into the Gaboon country, where are vast forests
which afford o home to the greatest number of
gorillas today. He will take with him large
iron cage, constructed in sections SO as to be
readily transported.
WHAT HIS CAGE Is FOR.
This cage is not intended to catch gorillas in.
On tho contrary, it is meant to keen them ont.
Pro-. Garner proposes to occupy it himself,
having set it up in the midst of the forest 1t

must answer: IL all depends. Some women
look well under all circumstances-iI. fact they
can't make guys of themselves if they try-but
not so with others. They must be on their

style Of trimming or color shade mar their
good looks and rob them of their grace. This
pelerine is garment that NAV easily destroy a

but Rot so this pelerine.

They give one the appearance sometimes Of
