Found Chimpanzees That Talk
Tame chimpanzee Carries Keys Of

Professor r. L. Garner told in lee
ture st 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-
mants, but was more fruitful of re-
suits
The chimpanzee and gorilla were
chosen for study, as being nearest,
stfucturally. 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 TWEEN
ty-five feet above the sea level. inhab-
iting low, marshy, fiat regions exclus-
lively. sst
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 . day and half; dying Ave days
after It's arrival
The gorilla has been abandoned. vir-
tually. by Professor Garner. as an OBJ
3ect OF systematic study. owing to the
infrequency Of suitable opportuni-
ties.
The chimpanzee il q more tractable
animal, much more numerous than the
gorilla, and has q much wider range,
though how wide, Professor Garner
has not been able to determine. The
best region for finding them is around

THE USE OF FORKS
WAS NOT COMMON BEFORE 1915


Queen Elizabeth Had But Three
Kept as curiosities-Their Use
Was Considered Bad Form-Minis-
ters Declared Them to Be Impious
Instruments.
IL seems strange that the use OF
forks began only with our easily re-
nemDered forefathers. that the Greeks
and Romans did not know anything OF
them, and that in the far Eastern coun-
tries their use is still unknown. Up
to the Fifteenth Century they were
known only in Italy. Elizabeth had
three forks -garnlshed with gold
sleightly." and with .lyttlc peries pen
dant. but they were considered as Gu
riosities and never used. Indeed. in
that era II was considered bad form
and ministers contended that to use
them was to insult God. What were
our fngers for7 In Thomas Coryates'
"Crudities published originally in
1908. Is this:
Il observed custom In all those
italian cities and towns through which
| passed that is not used in any other
country that | saw in my travels;
neither do think any other nation in
Christendom doth use 1t. but only in
Italy. Tho Italians. and also most
strangers. do always at their meals use
! little fork when they cut their meats
/ For while with their knife which they
do hold In enc hand. they cut the
, meat out of the dish. they fasten the
fork. which they hold In the other
hand. upon the same dish. SO whatso-
ever he be that. sitting in the company
OF Others at meals. should inadvisedly
touch the dish of meats with his fin-
gers. from which all the table do cut.
he Will give occasion TO offense to all
the company. as having transgressed
the laws OF good manners. In SO much
that for his error he shall be at the
least browbeaten. II not reprehended in
words. This form of breeding, l under
stand. is generally used in all places
OF Italy, their forks being for the most
part made Of iron. steele and some of
silver; but these are used only by gem
tlemen. The reason for this curiosity
Is because the Italian cannot by any
means endure to have his meat touch
ed with fingers, seeing that all mems
fingers are not alike clean"
Not until the middle of the Seven
teenth Century did England's nobility
begin the ube OF forks, but they came
into use slowly, and even In the early
part of the Eighteenth Century gentle
men who travelled carried knife and
fork. because the inns were not likely
to have them. About 1916 forks be-
came quito common In Europe and
soon became to be considered general
ly as G necessity.-The Cooking Club.
