had occasion to visit sick friend in a
hospital, where he made the acouaint-
ance of an old Official of the institu-
tion from the south of France who was
exceedingly fond of animals, his love
of them being equaled only by his
hatred of priests. He claimed also TO
be perfectly familiar with the Ian
guage of cats and dogs and TO speak
the language of apes even better than
the apes themselves. jules Richard
received this statement with an in
credulous smile, whereupon the old
man. whose pride was evidently
touched by such skepticism, invited
him to come the following morning TO
