CAN TALK WITH MONKEYS.
Professor Garner Spends Three Years
In the African .Juneles.


In the African Juneles.
Professor Richard Lynch Garner of
the University of Chicago. who has
been in the jungles of Africa for three
years in an effort to master the lam
guage of monkeys and who occupies
steel cage there to protect his life from
the more vicious animals, will, in ac-
cordance with letter written to his
sister, Mrs. A. F. Welsh, at Bristol.
Va, return to this country next spring,
having practically completed his study
Of the monkey language.
The latest triumph of his novel pur-
suit is the preparation by him of a
lexicon of the monkey language. By
means of this lexicon it is calculated
that any apt student of languages may
readily acquire knowledge of the lam
guage of monkeys. Following are sam
pies of the words in that unique lexi
can, together with the definition of
each:
Qhui-Want.
Our'h-Where are you?
Cu-nh-Here.
Khi-iu-Look out.
A-ou-hou-Stampede.
Khi-iu- hou-Retreat.
Chu-h-Hark, what!
From his youth Professor Garner
was devoted to animals and in child
hood was wont to initiate birds in their
forest songs. He gained the idea early
in life that all animals have a Ian
guage as complete, so far as it's pur-
poses are concerned, as any of the Ian
guages used by human beings

ahe reader the fact of its value at that
sfme in connection with the great trou-
ME occurring shortly after it's incep-

try-the civil war of 1861. The diff
sulties of communicating with the
newly acquired empire on the Pacific
through the route via Panama or the
passage around Cape Horn would
nave left effective information stale,
lat and improbable on account of the
lime, and the fact that the southwest
section was not open for communica-
ion to the Union authorities at Wash
1ngton emphasized it's necessity.
The pony express, by giving the gov
eminent facilities for quick communi-
.ation-quick for those days-was en-
abled to keep in touch with every
movement and counteracted in an eff
fective manner what might have re
snlted in separation from us of our
grand Pacific possessions.
