A NATURALIST WILL TRY TO
SETTLE THE QUESTION.
Right Into the tfriean wilds-seme-
thing About tho Most wonderful Ex-
pedition That Man Ever Undertook
Giant Apes Dcficd.

Have you ever heard Of Prof Garner,
the man whose efforts TO prove the ex-
istence of language among monkeys
are attracting the attention OF scien-
fists? And IL is only fair TO the indie
fatigable investigator to say that he has
really made some progress towards de-
monstrating the truth OF his somewhat
startling theory. In the geological de-
partment of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, at Washington. he separated two
monkeys that were mates, and having
caught i'm photograph the words"
spoken by the female after the separa-
ton, he took the instrument 10 n dis
tant place, where the male was Gagged,
and having put IL In operation, he saw,
beyond any reasonable doubt, that the
animal recognized and answered the
calls as they were reproduced.

The expedition will enter the mouth
of the Gaboon river, just under the
equator, on the west coast of Africa,
and, having secured an escort of ma

DISTANCE of lie miles. AT that point
the first OF a series of cataracts and
rapids is reached, and there the party

THREE NOTED WOMEN
WHO HAVE LATELY BEEN Wis
ITlNo THIS COUNTRY.
Countess Aberdeen. Lady Somerset and
Annie Besant---The Impressions Gained
by the Two Former--The Hlsh-PrIest-
ess OF Theoscphy.

The United States has had three dis
tinguished visitors during the past few
months-Annie Besant. Lady Somerset
and the Countess of Aberdeen.
In England every one has heard the
names OF Lady Somerset and Lady
Aberdeen. Whenever they speak there
OF the share English women are taking
in the worlds work they always mem
ton these two ladies' names That Is
because in all the great philanthropies
Ia England that have been built mp out
Of the generous hearts and with the
little hands OF women these two ladies
have always been FIRST.
All the world knows Annie Besant.
Her name is familiar Dfrom Boston TO
Bombay She is known as the apostle
of Theosophy and the fair priestess of
occultism.
Mrs. Annie Besant, on the eve Of her
departure for Europe, was at William
Q. Judges Office, at No. 1872 Nassau
street. She and Mr. Judge, who Is at
the head OF the Theosophical movement
in America, were having their last bus
mess interview before she sailed. The
consequence was that what she had 70
say about America was as short and
compact as II she were going 60 pack IL
in her trunk and carry IL with her on
hcrvoyage.
After Bernhard, Annie Besant Is, of
modern women, the most picturesque
figure Of the decade. She began life as
the wife of staid and serious-minded
English clergyman. From orthodoxy
she went TO atheism. Now she has
plunged into the tranScendental dreams
of Theosophy. All these changes of
creed have not taken place without
much suffering upon her part. The
record of that suffering is written in
her face.
There are lines in that face where il
should be full and round. There is
that sublime calmness in her eyes that
only comes 10 those who have suffered.

husband is an Earl. She is tall wom-

Able Oleson. n domestic I'm the en-
ploy of the family of Jonas Slade, near

hers.
Last Friday she undertook measures
TO ensnare an animal that for several
days had been depredating on the cab
bagc supply laid in by the family for
winter consumption.
With that idea i'm mind the girl bor-
rowcd of neighbor a steel trap, and a
short distance from the cabin set, Daited
and securely staked it.
Saturday passed and nothing came of
the device. Sunday morning, after the
breakfast hour, Able went out second
time 10 investigate.
The trap was found 10 have got in its
work In its cruel jaws an animal was
held, the species OF which the girl was
unable at first To make out, but which
on close inspection proved to be nearly
full grown bear cub.
Young bruin sat on his launches and
piteously whined.
Miss Oleson for a moment trembled,
more from excitement thun fear, and
then felt sorrow creeping into her ten
der heart for the suffering cub. The
next thought was TO spare its life and
make il captive pet.
Then the girl went fcarlessly up to
the bear, and east her shawl over it's
head, firmly seized II around the body,
and with trap, cham and stake drag
ging after, lugged her prize down to
the house.
Before reaching the doorway the
lusty cub had got his muscular fore
arms about the girls waist ana was
doing the "hug-me-close" act In a
fashion more vigorous than did ever "a
young lady's best fellow"
There followed series OF feminine
screams that instantly brought Mr..
Sladc upon the scene. The head of the
house rushed TO the girls rescue and
unlocked her from the bears fearful

Then the girl and the whole family
