experiments while free from mOlesta-
tion.
The result of Professor Garner's
work has not yet been given to the
world in it's entirety, and much inter-
est is felt in the forthcoming account.
1t is said that the professor believes
he has learned several words of the
monkey" language" at least. Be that
as it may, no one doubts the earnest
ness of the man in his effort to estab-
lish verbal communication with the
anthropoid apes of Africa. He is very
sincere and fully deserves credit for
his patience and perseverance, even
though nothing ever comes of it. 1t is
from just such thorough efforts to at
tain the seemingly impossible that
many of mans greatest discoveries
have been made; SO, all honor to the
man who tries.
Professor Garner brought back with
him a member of the ape family an
swering to the name of Susie" This
singular creature possesses the human
power of laughing, it is said. At leas1
