The monkey word for sun. light, or bright
ness generally-"nchru." He declares that
he has with him chimpanzee that can talk,
mud gorilla which knows certain German
cxpletives, and that he has written down
nearly 200 monkey words. We do not pre-
tend 10 know how much Of this will bear the
test of sincere scientihc invest cation, bu;
there Is at present no reason that we know Of
for doubling the word Of Professor Garner,

Why Electricity ra.te. sour.

Physicians explain in an interest
ing fashion that the electric current
when applied to the tongue seems to
taste sour. The gustatory or tasting
nerves. 'ccording to the doctors,
are ind - ious and well-meaning
little things, and, although 1t is not
their business to take cognizance Of
any impression made by touch. they
do their best to look after anything
that happens to come their way.
Thus, when subjected to the electric
current. they telegraph tho fact in
their own language to the brain, and
US their language is exclusively that
of taste they inform the brain that
an electric current is sour. The ordi-
nary unscientifc citizen. having con-
1idence in the stories told by his gus
tatory nerves. really believes that
the electric current has an acid taste.
