FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion.
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof. r. l.. Garner, who has spent
the greater part Of several years in
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
guageS of monkeys and other animals,
says silence is not an absolute ele-
ment In the safety of wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes of human beings This he at
tributes to lack of social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
of smell in pursuing their game, every
species having it's peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
selling their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea.
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
in the jungle he found that the chin.
panzee frequently breaks the silence
OF the forest by answering the cries
Of the various other animals The
gorilla is less loquacious, but there
are times when he ignores all danger
of betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting Of
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing of the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt
for them, the latter also grunting.
