about as big as a two-month-old baby.
She is seven and half months old and
was bought by the professor from
native of the French Kongo about three
months ago. Susie does not look essen
TALLY different from other young Chin
panzees. She is of tan complexion ana
her flesh is sparsely covered with hair
She showed q lively interest In the ppo-
lessor the moment he entered the butcher
shop. He asked her:
do you love your pop?'
Susie responded by putting her arms
around his neck and kissing him. She
put down her foot when he commanded
her. and when he asked for part Of an
orange she was eating she tore on bit
and placed 1t in the palm of his hand.
Can Recognize Colors-
The professor knows that Susie can dis
tinguish colors. He proved 1t by making
a revolving case Of boxes with movable
covers painted just like the interior OF
the boxes. He put a lump of sugar
Susie is very fond of sweets-into the
green box and let Susie see him do Il.
Then he sent the box whirling. When
they stopped Susie opened the green box
and took out the sugar. Then q lump
was put into the red box. Susie removed
the cover of the red box when the case
of boxes ceased to spin. The same thing
happened with the other colors. As the
boxes were exactly alike in shape the
professor naturally decided that Susie
knew colors.
Susie did not show any of her linguistic
attachments to the reporters. The pro-
fessor says he does not know whether
chimpanzees may be taught to speak
English, but that he had personal ex-
perience with q chimpanzee in the French
Koneo that could utter one word. ''feu. -
the French for fire.
Susie stayed aboard the ship last night.
Today she will accompany the professor
to Philadelphia and he will turn her over
to the psychological experts Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. who will make
an effort to find out the extent OF her
soul development. Besides Susie the pro-
lessor brought on the Touraine ten skele-
tons of chimpanzees and thirty skulls
Of chimpanzees and gorillas.

Prof Garner said he had heard that

would like to introduce Susie to Mr..

Men Employed in English, Scotch

LONDON. August 10. 1910.
A lockout Of the 10000 men employed
in the shipyards OF England. Scotland and
Wales IL threatened.
Considerable dissatisfaction has pre-
vailed since the dispute Of 1908 was set
tied, and 1t Is alleged that some OF the
mems unions have frequently broken the
agreement which was then drawn up.
But the immediate cause Of this great in
dustrial crisis Is strike of small num-
Der OF men which has occurred on the
Clyde. The strike occurred at the
Meadowside shipyard. Patrick. The men
alleged that they could not make . living
wage at piecework rates and demanded
time rates. which were refused by the
firm.
The membership of the boilermakers'
and shipwrights' societies Is 1900. but
nearly 1O0,OUO other workers would be at
fected by q national lockout.

tiers the habits Of the gorilla and Chin

intimate terms with twenty-five CHM
panzees and nine gorillas. convinces him
that the chimpanxees have a language. as

twenty words or sounds. He said:

The professor says that chimpanzees
have a vague moral sense. They mate
like some humans and are faithful to
their mates: also they respect the right Of
other chimpanzees to their partners.

The king the other day received at
Marlborough House the Ri. Hon. w. c.
Ellison Mccartney, deputy master and
engraver of his majesty's seal at the
royal mint. II is understood that the
visit was connected with the new coin

For this Bertram MacKinnal, r. A., the

profile of the king. 1t has been suggest
ed that the design might well be further
altered by the use Of English for the in

there is nothing lacking In dignity in the

Gorillas Six Feet Tall.

The professor says he saw some giant
gorfilas. two OF which were at least six
feet tall and weighed between $50 and
$50 pounds. II was q mistake to think
that goriilas attacked native women
They appeared to be as much afraid Of
man and woman as man and woman
were afraid of them. There Is no doubt
that the gorilla would fight. but only
when he feared for the safety Of hia
family. The head Of the family was al
ways the battler.
The professor was never attacked, but
ne was very much startled once by the
that ne had selected for q second camp
Of observation. He had been told by
q chief OF the Baheli tribe about this
place, which the chief said was populated
with gorillas and chimpanzees. The
chiefs son and nephew went with the
professor. After they had travelled sew
eral days they came to the bank of
stream and sat on 1t and ate luncheon.
The chiefs relatives said this was the
place where the anthropoids abounded. He
had taken out his pipe and filled 1t and
was beginning to smoke when the chiefs
SON touched him on the shoulder and
whispered in frightened tone:
''Ntyii!'
That meant gorilla. The professor
got up and saw the rushes part not more
than forty feet away Then through the
opening emerged the giant form Of the
fercest looking creature the professor
ever had seen. He was more than six
feet tall and he looked every inch of II
as he raised himself alongside the sap
ling that he had grasped with his right
hand and glared at the white man. He
shook the sapling as II he were about to
tear Il up by the roots and use II as a con
might q nightstick. The professor was
mighty glad the big brute was unaware
Of his strength. There was fear. anger
and ferocity depicted on the Quiverinx
face OF the gorilla as 1t emitted a cry.
Beat q Retreat.
The professor and the natives with
him interpreted this cry as a warning to
the goriHa's family. After giving II the
Jungle colossus disappeared The chiefs
SON remarked that the gorilla had gone
to secrete his family and that he would
come back soon and attack the party.
They decided to go. The professor in
troduced the reporters to Susie, who 10
