St. Louis, where he arrived on April
30. There he was the guest
OF President Francis, of the
Worlds Fair, as was also former
President Cleveland. Both took part
in the dedication exercises. He put
in part of day in Kansas City, and
then passed into Kansas, where in one
day he stopped at eighteen towns and
made as many speeches. Denver was
the next important stop. 1t was about
this time that the President began to

1t was at Pueblo that Mr.. Roosevelt
deserted the train to take breakfast
with cowboys. He saw cook wagon
drawn up near the train and he hus-
tied forth in hurry, showing that he
knew the ways of camp breakfast.
He liked that breakfast, and the COW
boys were amazed at his skill in
spearing pieces of steak and the
amount of coffee he consumed.

MONKEYS CAN THINK

Professor Gamers Coneiusons-Has as

plantation.
Professor r. l.. Garner told in a lee
ture at Steinert hall. Boston, of his
latest attempt in the study OF monkey
or animal speech in his recent trip to
Africa. He reviewed his early efforts
to master the mysteries of monkey
speech with captive animals, the
growth of his interest and his deter
mination to seek out the animal in his
natives and under natural conditions.
His first trip in 1892 was largely ex-
plOratory and much OF the time fruit
less for his special purposes. The last
trip was hampered by faulty arrange
ments. but was more fruitful Of re-
suits
The chimpanzee and gorilla were
chosen for study as being nearest.
structurally. to man, and possibly the
highest developed in speech. or at least
in Intelligence. Contrary to general
belief, the gorilla is confined to an ex-
tremely small district and is rarely
found at elevations OF more than twen-
ty-f1ve feet above the sea level inhab-
iting low marshy. fiat regions exclus-
lively.
Gorillas never build huts. as has been
said of them. They are very rare ami
mails even in Africa, and only one liv-
Ing specimen was ever exhibited in the
United States, and that in Boston, for
about q day and half dying Ave days
after its arrival.
The gorilla has been abandoned, v!r-
tually. by Professor Garner. as an OBJ
ject Of systematic study. owing to the
infeQuency of suitable opportuni-
ties.
The chimpanZcc is 4 more tractable
animal, much more numerous than the
gorilla, and has a much wider range.
though how wide. Professor Garner
has not been able to determine. The
best region for finding them is around
the Osowe river. where the professor
purposes to return In few months
with supply arrangements permitting
uninterrupted attention to the object
Of his trip. The lecturer gave graph
ic recital of his experiences in the jun
gle and the difficulties attending travel
along the African equator. His fam
tails were explained and some Idea
given of the native and foreign resi-
dents and the customs OF the region.
A special word of praise was accord
ed the Portuguese residents he met
with there and their sympathetic aid
in his work.
One of the conclusions he has ar
rived at is that monkeys mental pro-
cesses differ in no respect from mans
except in degree, especially in the mat
ter of speech. A remarkable instance
was related Of tame chimpanzee in
Africa which had been trained to
know all the keys of plantation and
to use them. One of the keys was a
simple affair-little more than a square
| steel plug-but it opened a cabinet con-
tanning eatables. and was the first key
| to be used when given the bunch in
an impromptu exhibition of his pow
| erS.
After time it was learned that the
animal was opening the cabinet Oh his
own hook and 1t was found that he
would nibble stick down to the prop
er size and shape and with it would
open the cabinet. Professor Garner
promises to bring back us result of
his coming trip group of chimpan-
zees that can talk to some extent.

Fired First Shot at Bunker Hill.

DR.. L. 6. Simpson, of West Fairlee
owns the musket from which it is
claimed was fred the first shot at the
battle of Bunker Hill. Doctor Simp-
son was born at Deerfeld, N. H., and
remembers the gun as the property
of his grandfather, Maj. John Simp-
son who was a private at that battle.
The order given to the Continental
soldiers in that engagement was to re-
frain from firing until they could see
the whites of the enemy's eyes. Ma
ior Simpson, being a good shot,
could not resist the temptation to
shoot after they came within range,
so he fired, and, it is said brought
down his man. This was the signal
for opening the fire all along the line,
and the engagement became general.
That the story is true is borne out
by the fact that the major was plac-
ed under arrest for disobeying orders
and was finally court-martialed.
That this arrest did not initiate a.
gainst him is shown from his subse-
quent career, as he rose to distinc-
ton and was rapidly promoted until
he gained the commission of major.
He was young when the engagement
took place, and lived more than fifty
years after the battle, dying October
%, 1925. His house at Deerfield still
stands. He was buried on the farm,
but a short time ago his body was
removed to the village church yard.
