The chimpanzee, which we have as
signed to the second rank below man,
writes Professor Garner, has much
wider geographic range than the gorilla,
although he is found in no part of thu
world except tropical Aria. In state
of captivity he is much more hardy than
the gorilla, and at the same time much
more amiable. The adult chimpauzee is
about four feet six to eight inches in
height, his arms shorter in proportion
than gorilla's, though longer than a
mans. His voice is about the same
pitch as that of human being, but lacks
compass and fexibility. They are gen
orally playful and comparatively harm
less when not teased or annoyed, but
when aroused are quite vicious aud very
strong. they are quite docile, and soon
learn to use knife and fork, spoon,
cup, napkin, chair, etc.; but the knife
is not used with much skill. do not
regard such things as these, however, as
a correct unit by which to measure the
mental power of an animal The only
test IS to commit them to their own re-
sources under new conditions, and then
observe how they will act, and how en-.
ploy new means to new ends, and thus
we may gain fair estimate of their
mental strength. There have been only
five of these apes that have lived any
length of time in America, and only two
of that number are now living; they are
in the Cincinnati Garden, where thew
have been kept for about four years, and
are in good health. One was kept in
the Philadelphia collection over seven
years, which is the longest any one of
them has ever lived IN this country, aud
