MONKEYS AND THEIR TALK.
Prof. Garner Believes He Has Mas.
tered the Language.


Philadelphia Record
Fresh from the wilds of Africa, where
Tor two years he has been pursuing his
favorite hobby of studying the so-called
language OF monkeys, apes and others of
their tribe, Prof. r. L. Garner stepped
from the American liner Westernland yes
terday afternoon and drew long breath
of delight at again treading the soil of his
native land. The professor has a scientific
weakness for monkeys, but he admits that
after time their society becomes a little
uresome, and he returns TO America to
mingle in the more exciting whirl here. To-
day he will leave for Boston.
Professor Garner has been in Africa since
July, 1900, most Of the time alone, far in
the interior, where white man never be-
fore visited. To reach the haunts of the
animals whose habits he was 10 study il
was necessary to carry with him a detach-
able iron cage to protect him from the at
lacks OF wild beasts of prey. This cage was
brought back on the Westernland. Profes
sor Garner has long held the theory that
monkeys converse with each other in a
language of their own, and he believes that
he has mastered this language after years
of hard work. His last visit 10 Africa was
his second for the purpose of observation.
The chatter of monkeys was caught by the
use of Photographs, whose records he
studies out at his leisure. He gave his
home as Roanoke, Va

this paper was among the many

During his travelling about and
afterwards his campaign upon his

impossible to check, and along In
