an old ON of an institution from
the south o France who was exceed
ingly fond oil animals. He claimed
also to be perfectly familiar with the
languages Of cats and dogs and TO
speak the language OF apes even
better than the apes themselves.
Jules Richard received this state
ment with an incredulous smile.
whereupon the old man, whose pride
was evidently touched by such skep-
ticism, invited him to come the next
morning to the geological garden.

and place, says Mr.. Richard, and we

resented with slight variations and
differences OF accentuation. In a
few minutes the whole community of
monkeys, dozen in number, assem-
bled and sat in rows before him,
with their hands clasped in their
laps or resting on their knees, laugh
ing, gesticulating, and answering.
The conversation continued for full
quarter OF an hour to the intense
delight OF the monkeys, who took a
lively part in it, AS their interloo-
utor was about to go away they all
became intensely excited, climbing
up the balustrade and uttering
cries OF lamentation. When he fin
ally departed and disappeared more
and more from their view they rar
up to the top OF the cage and, cling
ing to the frieze, made motions as /
they were bidding him good-by.

A German is reported to have taken out
patent for producing varnish from linseed
oil by means of an electric current. The
oil, after being purified in a proper man

sulphuric acid and water and subjected to
the action Of an electric current for two or
three hours, so that the oxygen produced
IN the nascent state by the passage Of the
