TO TALK WITH THE noSKEYs.
Prof. X. l.. Garner About to Start on His
Long Journey.

Prof Il. L. Garner About to Start on His
Long Journey.
New YORK, July 6-The man who
speaks the language of the monkeys
starts for Europe to-day and within two
months will probably be on the western
coast of Africa, ready to undertake his
journey into the abode of the large
gorillas and chimpanzees.
This man is Robert l.. Garner. Mr..
Garner has never been in Africa, all of
his former work in study monkey
language having been done with such
monkeys as are either imprisoned in pub
TIC menageries or else are owned by pri-
vate collectors. He has demonstra ted
that each tribe or species of monkeys
has It's own peculiar language. OF the
small monkeys Mr.. Garner regards the
brown capuchins as the most Intelligent.
MIR. Garner is now able to converse with
a brown capuchin.
Q Mr.. Gamers two chief aims ale to
learn the language Of the apes in that
region and converse with them IL posi-
BILE, and then, by studying the speech
Of the natives to see if there is any SINH
larity or connection between tho Ian
guage of the apes and that of the natives.
10 do this as perfectly as possible he
Is going to take the photograph into
Afric aand use this instrument to catch
their speech.
Mr. Garner is going to take two phon-
ographs and 1000 cylinders, NEST of
which will be filled with monkey talk
when he comes back.
But he is going to show the natives
how easy it is to carry voices and sounds
around with him, and he has made a
collection of musical cylinders with
lively airs for the amusement OF the
strange tribes.
More than that, he will take pho.o-
graphic letters of introduc ton to some
OF the big chiefs near the coast from
Paul du Chaillu, Stanley and David
Glane, one of Stanley's old lieutenants.
he will get StanleYs in London, but
the others he has now. Just what effect
the photograph will have upon the ma
tives MIR. Garner is at loss to imagine,
but he will try to photograph the ex-
pressions on their faces when they hear
music and voices coming from the mys-
ferrous black box.
These letters tell the chiefs of the
Ballaloos and other tribes near the coast
that Garner is tiptop fellow, and
worthy to be treated like a friend and 4
brother. Armed with these and u GUAM
tity of beads, bright cloth, tobacco and
other articles highly priced by the
blacks, Mr.. Garner expects smooth sail
ing to his headquarters in Ogobi valley.
The Ballaloos are hostile, and make
war on the traders, butMr. Garner is not
going to trade, and hopes to have no
trouble.
Mr. Garner is not going to live in
camp with his men, but will remain
about half mile from tho main en-
campment. His homo will be cage,
5% feet square, which he has had made
in this city, of strong Bessemer steel
wire. In this odd habitation, alone in
the wild forest, the man OF civilization
will give himself up to tho scientific
study of his hobby, having as compan-
ions bis young gorilla and chimpanzee.

THE HOMESTEAD STRIKE.

The situation at Homestead, where
the strike of Carnegie's millmen has
resulted in bloodshed, has lost mono of
its seriousness by the lull which has
followed the terrible battle of yesterday.
Thousands OF mon are out of em ploy-
ment leaving rather than submit to an
extensive cut in wages.
Mr.. Carnegie has resorted, unneces-
sarily we believe, to the employment of
Pinkerton men to guard the works and
enable him to resume, operations with
non-union labor.
In the fierce conflict which followed
the attempt to land the Pinkertons at
Homestead, several lives were lost, and
the Pinkertons were forced to abandon
the field.
1t is hard to read Alright the lesson of
such q condition of affairs. Popular
sentiment is against the employment of
the Pinkertons as much as it is against
the use of violence by either side. The
attempted reduction of wages does not
necessarily mean q cut of wages to fur

is no one in the iron business who is
not fully aware that one of the greatest
depressions in the history of the trade
is now being encountered, and thai
every device has been employed to pre-
vent its coming to a standstill.
Millmen will not consent to run their
mills at a loss. Coke, coal. iron ore and
freight rates have been cut to the low
est margin, and wages are as apt to
suffer as anything else.
Neither can the fault be laid at the
doors OF a protective tariff. Wages are
neither raised nor lowered permanently
by tariffs nor free trade. They are gov
erned by the law Of supply and demand,
just as is everything else which is
bought and sold. Underneath all sur
face indications lies cause for labor
troubles, none the less true because OBJ
scured. It is responsible for more hui
man ills than the world yet knows.
The cause is restricted opportunity.
Man is working animal. The earth is
what he works upon. Give him free &C.
cess to the earth and he will keep him
self busy. When thousands of acres of
coal lands are kept out of use by specu.
lators. opportunity for their use Is re.
stricted. When hundreds Of square
miles Of prairie lands are held idle in
order that spectators may squeeze sew.
eral times their cost out of the men who
must eventually use them, opportunity
is restricted. The same is equally true
in cities. When there Is a demand for
building sites and such sites are held by
men who neither improve, nor let any
one else improve them, opportunity is
restricted.
The remedy is simple. Tax the OBJ
structor by taxing his holdings. Unim-
proved speculative holdings ought to
pay much higher tax than improved
holdings, for one is detriment to
community and the other is benefit.
When no property is held for specula
tive purposes there will be no Home
stead strikes, and C pital will be equally
benefited with labor.

The New York Life insurance Compa

The New York Life Insurance Company.
IN OUR advertising columns to-day
will be found the particulars Of the new
departure by that pioneer of life insur-
ance reforms, the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, in its unrestricted ac-
cumulation policy. When more than
fifty years since, the New York Lite
originated non-forfeitable contracts, and
eliminated the suicide clause from its
policies, there were not wanting envious
critics who predicted injury to the CON-
pany by such liberality. To these the
marvellous growth Of the company from
two millions to one hundred and twenty
six millions assets, and more than If
teen millions surplus, is the best reply.
1t pays to treat the public literally, and
this the New York Life always does
when its experience justities removal of
old time restrictions.

In order to test the correctness OF the
opinion expressed In bulletin No. II. Of
the Hatch (Mass.) experiment station
that tho special corn fertilizers on the
market contain too small proportion
Of potash. an experiment was made upon
the grounds Of the station during the
past season, which is reported Ia bulletin
No. Is. The experiment seems to indi-
cate the correctness OF the opinion here
toforo given that the so called special
corn fertilizers" contain too much phos-
phoric acid and too little potash. In
breaking up ordinary sod land for corn.
IL fertilizers only are to be used. Mr..
Brooks, agficulturist Of the station, rec
ommends to apply those which are rich
in potash. Use material which will
supply so to 100 pounds Of actual potash,
from 20 10 30 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and from 10 20 90 pounds Of nitrogen per
acre. II Especial corn fertilizer" is TO
DO used apply only a moderate quantity.
say 400 to 800 pounds per acre, and use
with II about 1915 pounds of muriato OF
potash. lie believes this combination
will produce as good crop as 500 to
1000 pounds Of "corn fertilizer and
will cost considerably less With ordi-
nary barnyard or stable manure for
corn, use potash. say about four cords
OF manure and 100 pounds OF muriato Of
potash per aero.
