Capt. De Lancier is authority for the
statement that Esau can say papa"
when he has a parrot for a linguistic
pacemaker. The explorer has taken
some records of chimpanzee talk. and
he says that when the phonograph is
working Esau carries on a conversation
with the cylinder in his own language.

He utters a sound which sounds like

was constrained to get out of range.
The remark that Esau had sold his
birthright for mess of potash is said
TO have preeipitated this attack.
Much distress was experienced by
a member of the medical profession
when he saw the ehimpanzee drink

Esau left his chair and hastened TO
a table, where there was large bowl
of punch. and held up a cup for a
supply of the liquid. He received about
two teaspoonfuIS, which he drank in
haste. He then gave costume imper-
sonations of Mr.. Dooley and Mrs. Car

After his performance he held an
afternoon tea and reception. Fsau

When the humoriSt took a seat bv the

self exclusively to him. He patted the
resplendent waistcoat, placed his arms
around the mans neck, stroked his
hair slapped him on the shoulder, and
occasionally spoke yolubly in the sim
Ian patois. When his new acquaintance
rose TO depart Esau shook hands with
MN several times and waved farewell.
1t IS the belief Of the captain that Esau
can be taught to speak English in time.

Esau, the man ape, made his New
York debut the other aay at the Vic

physicians, twelve reporters and a
humorist. He is baby, according
to his friend and instructor, Capt. De

He appeared in a dress suit of the
same cut as that affected by his train
er. He was a little drowSy at first,
a fact which, Mr.. Louis b. Beck, his
director general, explained, was due
TO the fact that he had recently come
from Philadelphia.
In appearance Esau is strangely hu-
man. The chimpanZee has the same
number of bones as a man; his fea-
lures, with the exception of the nose,
which is rudimentary, are fairly well
developed. His forehead is unusually
high for an animal. and the fact that
he has brain power was demonstrated
by many tricks and feats which he
performed. His nearness to the hu-
man family was shown by his appre-
citation of stimulants and by the long
ing glances which he bestowed upon
cigars and cigarettes.
Esau is about four feet high and
walks practically erect. The physi-
clans who examined his knees said
that the formation of the patella in
dicated that he was intended to walk
in an upright attitude. He sat in a
chair, whispered confidential remarks
to his keeper, ate banana with knife
and fork, poured out his tea and
spoiled the decoctiOn of the fragrant
herb with sugar and cream in the most
approved occidental style. The crea-
