Going to Listen 10 Monkeys Chat.
tering.

Among the outward. .bound passen-
gers Is Prof. Robert L. Garner, who is
going to the French Congo district in
Africa to study monkeys. He thinks
he can evolve languarge out of their
chattering. He takes with him big
wire cage, in which he will sit and
talk with the ourang outangs. Just
outside the cage will be placed phOnO-
graphs; so that when the apes come up
their chatter may be caught.
II intend, y Professor Garner said, ito
get photographic record every day for
few weeks of the sujects in order to
ascertain the character of the devel-
Opment of the vocal organs and
speech and to compare that of the
apes with the language of the
civilized races, to see if the powers Of
apes are developed in the same way as
in human beings and if the same con-
sonent sounds appear.
when l get to Cape Lopez l shall
try to buy a gorilla and chimpanzee to
carry with me on my trip. These will
he my teachers, and l hope to learn to
talk with them"
APES WHO CAN DO DAYS GOOD
WORK.
There is an old sailors law that the
only reason that monkeys don't talk is
because if they did they would be made
to work. Professor Garner's trip may
end this scheme, and there is a farmer
named Aaron HOwell's, near Goshen,
Maryland, who seems disposed also
TO help along the climax. He has a
number of cherry trees, and cousin
of his who is captain of an East India
trader, sometime ago brought him
couple of Siamese apes trained TO pick
fruit in that far off land. According to
the Goshen farmer the ocean voyage
did not make them forget their cum
ming. He says they climb better, pick
more and eat less than boys. Each
monkey has a bag that contains about
five pounds of fruit slung around his
waist.
They go up the tree like rocket"
said AIR. HOwells, "and, when the bags
are full they come down like stick"
A heap of empty sacks on the grass is
ready for them and they help them
selves and return to their work. More
over, with their toll, the former thinks,
they have broken their silence, and,
though he cannot yet understand what
they say, he is quite sure they hold
animated conversations with each
other. They certainly chatter away,
aud that there is spirit of rivalry be-
tween them is evident.

The steW'aft Silver Bill.

Under the lead Of thomas B, Read
of Maine, the late "tsar," the Stewart
bill for the free coinage of silver was
defeated last week i'd the House of
Representatives at Washington. Mr.
Pierce, of Tennessee, said in the course
of the debate that "the Democratic
party was free silver party, and he
agreed with the remark of the gentle
man from Maine that in the last House
all except " Democrats had voted for
free coinage"
The dispatches from Washington all
agree that the Free Coinage bill is now
dead for this session-that it has been
put away until after it is seen whether
or not the Democratic party can re-
cover control of the national admins.
tratiOn under the leadership OF Mr..
Cleveland. Perhaps the dispatches
are correct; but if what the atlanta
Constitution said the other dav is tIue
it may be safer to wait and see. Here
are Its words:
Our friends in Congress will hear
great many voices from the East clam
oring against the passage of the free
coinage bill, and urging that it will
hurt the party in New England. But
there Is Il voice from the South. and if
Is not clamOring. 1t submits that the
unity OF the party in Georgia and in
the South is of more Importance than
the vain dream of Democratic gains i'm
the East. 1t implOres the Democratic
House, in behalf of Democratic har.
mony IN this section, to send the tree
coinage bill to the Republican Presi.
dent, and place on him and his marry
the Onus of defeating the measure. It
beseeches Democratic congressman not
to take the responsibility of DELAYING
or defeating the free coinage bill, and
thus give definite excuse for the re.
volt that is now brewing at the south.
The loss of few votes in the East is
hardly worth talking about, whereas
the division of the Democratic party in
the South would be calamity.

The AstrakhGn MESSENGER publishes

new cases of the disease and 1870 deaths
throughout all the Russian districts

The heaviest mortality at any single

A Queer Question

1t is little singular that Prof..ssor
Dwight, so long the distinguished head
OF the Columbia Law School, and one
OF the profoundest legal iutellecls
they have ever had in New York @ tv
should at the moment of his death
nave done something which raises 81
very important legal question. Tn his
last illness Professor Dwight had in
sVructed his lawyers to draw up "A new
WILL ana this was brought to him. read
over, the attesting witnesses were
present and it only remained for him
TO sign it in order to make it a Der.
iect instrument. A pen was put into
his hands and he wrote so much of bis
name as this Theodore W. Dwin when
he fell back upon his pillow dead. The
question to determine is whether so
much of the signature.as as this makes =
legal will. Il There were to he onv

Plenty of Fruit Jars.

The fruit jar business this year is
very quiet. The time for sales has not
yet arrived, because the people use
their old jars first and that takes all
the smaller fruits. When the peaches
and pears and large fruit come the
housewife lays in a supply of Jars.
The demand this year is not going to
be One-tentth of what it was last year.
The small peach crop will be enc
factor to keep down the demand for
fruit jars. After last years almost un-
precedented rush the manufacturers
started this year with empty ware
houses. They have made up a fair
supply. but nothing like that of last
year. There is no cause for alarm re-
garding the prices. Quart jars are
now sold at 81 a dozen pints, 95 cents
and half gallons, $125; last years
prices were as high as 81 so, $1.35 and
81, respectively. 1t is estimated that
twelve carloads or 172,SOO jars were
sold in Wilmington last season, while
the sales for this season are placed
within three car loads, or AZ, 200.

Mt. Etna's Eruption.

The eruption of Mount Etna is rap
idly increasing in violence. Immense
streams of lava are pouring down the
mountain side and it appears certain
that several villages and a number of
dwellings in the paths the lava seems
destined to take, will be DESTROYED
All the craters are active. One is
ejecting continuous stream of lava
several yards deep and very wide.
This stream presents the appearance
of river of fire and is very beautiful
to look at.
Mount Gtna now has eighteen open.
ings, nine of which are active. The
lava is flowing in the direction of
Nicolosi at the rate of fifty yards an
hour. 1t has already passed the lava
deposits formed by the violent erup.
ton of 1886.
The suOterranean rumblings and the
loud and startling explosions continue.
The alarm among the inhabitants of
the various villages in the vicinity Of
Mount Etna is increasing and the peo.
pie fear that phenomena of a more
dangerous character than that which
has already occurred is yet to be ex.
perienced.
The statement made few days ago
that the last eruption of Mount Rtna
occurred in 1868 was erroneous. There
was an eruption in that year. but there
have been five eruptions since-in 1869
1874, 1879, 1888 and 1886.
