- invaIids are Many.
The appalling total of invalids and
semi-inyalids who come here in the
hope of restoring their health, but
without means to sustain them after
they get here, Is the great continuous
tragedy of Denver The more one sees
and learns of these unhappy victims
the more heartbreaking the tragedy
becomes. The moneyless stranger in

a living just now, yet there are scores
of frail, lonely, homesick, supersen.

ers
Many of them would undoubtedly
recover their normal health in this
rest, nutritious food, suitable clothing
and shelter, with the resulting peace
of mind. But, some of them would
have none of those things if they re-
turned home; others have no home to
return to; none have a return ticket
nor the. price of one; some long to
die; a few take their own lives, while
a surprising majority cling to their
miserable existence in increasing
mental torture and physical agony
half starved, wretchediy clad, wander
ing from one poor shelter to poorer
one, less and less welcome, more and
more unwelcome, till at last even
their hopeless hope dies, and their
clinging spirits and their worn frames
fall apart.
But their places are soon filled, for
the ranks of this army of the sorrow
full is maintained by almost daily ac-
cesSiOns.
Another Pathetic Feature.
Another pathetic feature of Denver
as the great American health resort,
is the number OF invalids whose resto-
ration is obstructed by their knowi-
edge that "the folks at home" are
DENYING themselves Of every comfort
to keep these in this health-giving alti-
tltde. These-especially the hopeless

times at home, suffer from homesick-

agony of i'll health, broken spirit, lone

fathom the depths of misery in which
these unhappy creatures wear out

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 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
