- "1 r S it ' Sir MONKEYS TO TALK, .Effort to Be Made by Scientists to Teach Them a Language. iThe Anthropoid Ape Said to Have Ha-man-Likc Vocal Oreama Step In Advance of Prof. Gar ner's Efforts. Prof. Gamer tried for many years to learn how to talk to monkeys in their own language. He went to Africa, lived in a cagpe in forests there, and did his best to discover the meaning: of the lit tle animals' chatter. lie afterwards left- his cage and other apparatus at Cincinnati's zoological garden- Now scientists are going to turn the tables and teach apes to speak man's lan guage. A writer in Collier's Weekly has this to say of the new plan: "We learn thai. Prof. Edwin. D. Conk Un, who has been instrumental in es tablishing the animal experiment sta tion for the University of Pennsylvania, is convinced that there is no reason why monkeys should not be taught to talk in some civilized language. Just which language is best adapted fox the purpose, and which species of an thropoid ape should be selected for ex periment, has not yet been, finally de termined. It would, of course, be out of the question to teach a dog to speak, for his vocal organs are not of the proper shape and correlation to produce articuJate sounds. The anthropoid apes, on the- other hand, or, for that matter,, all monkeys, have their human-like organs ready made. Those who doubt the success of the experi ment point out that anithropoid apes have not yet brought- forth successive generations in captivity, and that, therefore, the effect of teaching on : predisposition would not be transmit ted. Many scientists, however, believe that captivity is no more an insuper able bar to propagation in the case of the anthropoid apes than it originally was Tn the case of other animals which have been long since domesticated, and that, consequently, the cumulative ef fect of environment can be made to tell upon, the suitability of the vocal organs of monkeys for articulate speech. This, is, at- all events, one of many interesting experiments which. Prof. Conklin has in view." NOT A SCHOOL FOR COOKS. Tmmw College Oppoted to 31annfac-turing- HootewiTM and Interior Furnishers and Decorators. "Poetry, rather than bacteriology; Greek rather than gravy." These ut terances were the keynote to the speech of President James A. Taylor, of Vas sar college, delivered at the twenty third, annual luncheon of the Vassar Alumni association at the Murray Hill hotel, New York city, the other after noon. When President Taylor, in a forceful address, indicated that Vassar was unalterably opposed to manufac turing cooks, housewives and interior furnishers and decorators, he was cheered to the echo by 150 women, young and old. Chauncey M. Depew, who was the guest of honor, took occasion to inter rupt his string of humorous anecdotes by declaring that as a trustee of Yale and speaking for his alma mater, he thoroughly agreed with President Taylor. He gave an intimation of his opinion of the value of classics, even before he was called upon to speak, when Pres ident Taylor turned- to him and said: "Senator Depew, you never found that Greek interfered with railroad ing?" - "Oh,no,"instantly responded the doc tor. "You know a great many Greeks work on railroads." HYDATID CYST REMOVED. Unusual Disease Receives Successful Treatment at Tale Medical School. 1 An operation very unusual in the United States was performed at the New Haven (Conn.) hospital the other ,day before a large class of Yale med ical students by Dr. William H. Car malt, professor of sargery at Yale. .The patient, an Italian named Fraacis co Mariano, had been suffering for six i'y.ears from a hydatid cyst on the liver, disease hitherto almost peculiar to f:Eceland. It is caused by a parasite rh technically known as taenia echinococ .Cus, common to dogs and communicat to the human system only through close association with, them, as in Ice : land. In this particular case the cyst "had swollen tho liver so that it took up the whole space of the abdomen and had to be removed. The operation was perfectly successful and the patient will recover. This is the first time such an operation has ever been per formed in Connecticut, and there are only ten or a dozen instances recorded in the history of American surgery. It . is rare even in Italy, where the present case was contracted. - Valuable to Women. Especially valuable to women is Browns' Iron Bitters.

The messages are dispatched and received by masts 09 feet high at tr.eh terminal. One of the principal obstacles encountered was the appar ent impossibility of accomplishing an automatic, registration of a message. Put this has been overcome. Cbcsn 'frlrrrraicii In Chill.

This mail will reach Washington at the same hour, and will, by connecting with early southern trains, expedite north western mails for Cuba and intermedi ate points. Additional-service between-New York ind St. Louis has been secured by at taching mail cars to the fast train leav ing New York at two p. m., and reaching St. Louis at 7:15 the following evening. One of the most important results of the reorganization is the doubling of the service between St. Paid and Portland, ' over the Northern Pacific, in addition to shortening the running time.

Statistician of the Dcparliaent Asrlcnltnre Prepares His Re port. of The annual report of John Hyde, sta tistician of the department of agricul ture, on the number and value of farm animals will shortly be ready for dis tribution. It will show an increase in the number of sheep and milch cows and a decrease in the number of horses, mules, swine and neit cattle other than milch cows, with a general increase in value. A decrease of 295,604 in the number of horses is accompanied by an increase of $32,712,4-06 in total value, the average value per head increasing from $34.26 to $37.40. Similarly, a decrease of 1,269, 072 in the number of neat cattle other than mileli cows is accompanied by an increase of $25,634,501 in total value, the average value per head increasing from 520.92 to $22.79. In the case of milch cows there is an increase of 149,229 in number, of $39, 120,099 in total value and of $2.21 in av erage value per bead, and in that of sheep an increase of 1,457,493 in num ber, of $14,976,397 in total value and of 29 cents in average value per head. Mules show a decrease both in num ber and totnl value, the decrease in number p- i irg to 50,069 and that in value 1.) .s ; ..j;.-. The average value per head, however, is $1.0S higher than last year. In the case of swine there also is a decrease both in number and total value, the decrease in number being 1,108,362 and that in value $4,241,666. The total value of farm animals is conservatively estimated at $1,997,010, 407, an increase of $10S,355,4S2, or 5.74 per cent., during the past year.

TO FIX UNIVERSAL FORMULA. Important Congress at Brussels of the Doctors of Life Insurance Companies. The first international congress of doctors connected with life insurance companies will be held at Brussels from the 25th to the 30th of next Sep tember. Consul Roosevelt, at Brussels, says that all Europe and the United States will be represented at the con gress, at which it is proposed to estab lish universal formulas for the exam ination of persons desiring to be in sured. As a result oi the congress, it is hoped, says the consul, that perma nent officers will be created in every country composed of five medieai mem bers, who will see that the decisions of the congress are observed and whose work may serve to lessen the difficul ties of application. A Singular Difference. There is a singular difference be tween the United States and the lead ing countries of Europe in the popular use of gold as money. In Great Britain the gold coinage consists almost en tirely of sovereigns and half sover eigns; in France of 20 and ten franc pieces, and in Germany of ten-mark pieces. All these coins are worthless than five dollars and are in general cir culation. In this country two-thirds of the gold handled at the mints is coined into $20 pieces. The value of the quarter eagles coined in 1898 was only $60,412. In a sanitary sens the currency of Europe is decidedly ahead of ours.

Then he became the owner of other hemes and was looked upon by his countrymen as a nabob. Among the other houses Manuel owned was that occupied by one Mi chael Dcrt, who was a delinquent in the matter of rent to the extent of three months. Put Manuel is nothing if not a resourceful son of the Ian;! of glorious sunsets, and the other night, with a keen and satisfied glitter in his little black eyes, he hied himself to the home cf Mieimel, armed with his cld-time helpraate the hand organ. Taking un the Bort domicile, Manuel beyan erindinsr out briskly such tunes as "Take our C lotnes and Go." "When Hogcn Pays Ilia Kent," "After the Ball" and "Comrades." With unabated vigor Manuel kept up his pro gramme for three hours, and had -just taken a long breath to continue indefi nitely when the enraged neighbors and the frantic Miehn el rushed madly to a near-by brick pile, from which thev heaved a perfect deluge of the missiles i at the musician. But Manuel was not ' to be defeated so easily. Instead, kept up his lively melodies, broken only at times when he was compelled to dodge. In sheer desperation Mr. Bort went among his neighbors and bor rowed a sufficient amount to liquidate his indebtedness to the Italian. Then Manuel shouldered his organ and plodded along home. PLANS A POLO CRUISE. Most Uniine Sportins Venture Pro posed by George Gould for the Summer Months. George J. Gould proposes a sporting venture for the coming summer months that is unique. It might be called a polo cruise. The nearest approach to it was Pierre Lorillard's navigation of the waters of Florida on his houseboat, that carried horses, ponies, and dogs besides its human occupants. While it seems that Mr. Gould's plans are not yet definitely settled, the gen eral outline of his summer campaign will be as follows: He has formed a polo team, compris ing himself, II. L. Herbert, the presi dent of the polo association; P. F. Col lier, and the latter's son, I?. J. Collier. These four enthusiasts will cruise around to the varioxis watering places where fashion congregates in Mr. Gould's steam yacht Atlanta, with a boat in tow fitted up to afford stable accommodations for 30 or 40 ponies and horses. "The idea is to fit up a sloop for stable purposes, as I understand it," said a close friend of Mr. Gould. "Of course, there is no intention to pla3r in tournaments, and the purpose of the ex pedition' will be merely to heli to ex tract as much fun out of life as circum stances will permit, and as, in iny opin ion, all sportsmen should." CALIFORNIA'S OPPORTUNITY. Destruction of Fruit Cross In Florida and' Otlier Staitca V.rill Be to Her Profit. Secretary Filcher, of the state board of trade, says the demand for Calif ornia fruit this year will overmeasure. the quantity on hand. The reports from the interior show that the prospects are of a splendid character. It is not unlikely that the whole country will look to California for the greatest amount of itsi fruit. - "Florida has suffered disastrously from frosts. Georgia, which shipped 2,000 car loads of peaches last year, has scarcely anything to show this sea son, and New Jersey and Delaware, foremost peach states of the east, are in sad straits. Even Michigan has had a hard time, and so have other states from which a large supply was expected." Representatives of several promi nent fruit-dealing firms confirmed the views expressed by Secretary Filcher. BIG ELECTRIC PLANT. Clans SpreckeiliS to Furnish City San Francisco with Light, Heat and Power. of Claus Spreckels has decided to es tablish in this city, says the San Fran cisco Call, an electric plant that will be without a rival in the world and which will furnish to the people of San Francisco light, beat and power almost at cost. In accordance with his plans, articles of incorporation of the Inde pendent Electric Light & Power Co., with a capital of $10,000,000, have been filed with the county clerk. The di rectors for the first year are Claus Spreckels, John S. Spreckels, Adolph B. Spreckels, Charles A. Hug and W. K. Gibson. It is understood that Claus Spreckels will be chosen president of the company and that it will also enter the telephone business. Preparrine for a Monster Convention.

Not 2Jj constituency is numerous. Most people do not succeed. Few attain the good which their ambition sets as the oal. Those who do succeed reach that end onlv with more slips than firm and forward" steps. The waste of life, like the refuse cf certain factories, is its most bulky output. In reading the above I pronounce it miserable pessimism. It is based upon the false notion that success is to be measured bv our material gctliugs or by our visible accomplishments. Life's fcignificance is in its discipline, as ve i Christians believe in attaining a strength and excellence that, are going to count in. a longer than earthly ex , istenee. In this world we are only God's ! apprentices, practicing some of the lower forms of the arts that are eter j nal. Present success is of secondary ac i count. I A young engineer studying under an ' older one is trained in various depart ; meats of his science, but does nothing I of importance in any. He practices ' drafting until he gets somewhat pro ! ficient in the art, but draws no plans ! worth keeping or selling. He estimates truss-strength and wall-thrusts, but ' builds nothing, except as his work dis i appears in the mass of what the master i is buildiner. But those half-drawings ; and scraps of estimates and partiy ! worked problems will prove more to j him than any earthly job of engineer ing which brought him pay. You see the great painting and say: "That is worth doing." You do not see the hundreds of "studies" which litter the artist's novtfoiio, or which, having no sale value, he has thrown away. Yet thesa had more to do with mailing him great painter than had the piece lH-Lhjch was a;(1 for in the art market. So life's worth is in what it works at rather than in what it works out. The bridge builder has worked for vears to span the river; his work is done. The freshet roars against it piers. Will it fall? Suppose the river some day masses its waters beyond what men dreamed possible and the bridge gives -way? Or, suppose that at the fatal moment, when the whirl pool swirls beneath the towers and they are beginning to tremble, the torrent exhausts its volume and the bridge stands. If it falls the world sneers at the builder, though it was the strongest bridge ever yet put together; if it should stand because no freshet ever struck it, the builder's fame is immor tal. Foolish world! Foolish builder, if he takes the world's opinion much to heart! Is he not the same man with the same merit, whether his work stands or falls? God's apprentice, I im agine, perhaps in another world to be in the Creator's engineering depart ment to help swing stars or roof in globes of fire, making them habitable earths. AnAmerican scholar spent years over an abstruse subject; mastered it; pre pared a book on it ; but before he got to press a Frenchman came out with a treatise on the same subject, and no publisher would print the American's book. Was he any less of a scholar, or less deserving because fortune fell away from him, or fame did not get his name on the edge of her trumpet? The fellow died of disappointment, so the doctors said. It was foolish to do that. He ought to have quietly buried his work, not himself. The world has recently lost one of its most genial and brilliant writers, Wil liam Black. In a sketch of his life, writ ten by himself a few years since, he tells merrily of a dozen failures before he struck bis pace of prosperity. One project was the formation of a com plete collection of British flowering plants, which was to make his repute as a-botamst. lears after he said: "The sennt herbarium remains to this clav; a poor enough treasure house of botanical lore, but a rich treasure house of memories of innumerable and health ful wanderings by hill and moorland and seashore, through the rain and sun light, and beautiful colors of the west ern highlands." Sensible man! Why mourn over a herbarium that didn't grow to be a museum, but did furnish him with health and joy and the poetry with which he portraved highland scenery, and I will go further with a keener soul for appreciating the beauties of Heaven? If I get the right idea of neaven it is such an attainment in character that we will do things without any thought of pay, just for the joy of doing. What pay could the -world have g-iven Michael Angelo for designing St. Peter's and decorating the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, or Leonardo for painting the Last Supper, or St, Francis for found ing his brotherhood of help, or Luther for smiting the devils of superstition or Livingston for trying to destroy the slave trade of Africa? Their reward was in the doing. Wasn't it enough to have been an angel singing over Beth lehem without having one's name dropped on the earth? What are failures? Didn't Hobson fail in his main purpose? But who cares? Are not all martyrs failures? Yet they died gladly. Wasn't Christ a failure in the world's estimate? Yet His meat was to do as He did, and His drink was to suffer as He did. Does not everybody fail, when, as Job says, death cuts us "off in the midst of our purpose?" Seeming success must be only the shuck; life's value is what de velops inside. James M. Ludlow, D. D., In the Independent. "The trouble with John is," said the foreman, "that, he stands around talk ing about his religion when he ought to be attending to his loom. He is a good fellow and has the making of a fine weaver in him, but he hasn't learned that in weaving his religion ought to come out of his fingers, and not out of his mouth." Pacific Ensign.

Congress UuwlttinglyAutriorizes the Appointment of Two. Aronwea Coasiaerahle Goscslp m Department, Especially Ar-icrg Friends of Hear Admirals Sampson and Sobi-r. Unwittingly congress, just before its adjournment, gave President Mcivmiey authority to appoint two adn irals r-t the navy instead cf limiting the grade to one, as it unuouotediy lmeti .-... The discovery has just been brougnt to the attention of ofiicials of the navy department and has aroused cor.su; er nblfi c-ossin. especially among the friends of Hear Admirals Sampson and Schley. President McKinley approved, on March 2, "an act creating, the cilice of admiral of the navy," providing Lfcat the president is hereby authorized to appoint by selection and pi-omotJcu an admiral of the navy who shall not be placed upon the retired list, except upon his own application; and when ever such of; ice shall be vacated, death or otherw :se, the ofSce shall cease to exist." A certified copy of the act was pre sented to Secretary Long by the state department, and the former immediate ly made out the nomination oi Oeorge Dewey to be admiral. The nomination was confirmed by the senate on March 2. Notwithstanding that the president had appointed an officer to be "an ad miral of the navy," as provided for in the act, congress passed the navy ap propriation bill, which was approved late on the legislative day oi March .', containing a provision identical in l-.r. gunge with the act under v. aicu Ad miral Dewey had been appointed and confirmed. It has been pointed out that the pro vision, like the acttprovided for the ap pointment of an officer to be an admiral "by selection and promotion." Had the act simply read in both cases "by pro motion," Admiral Dewey, being the ranking officer, would have been ap pointed, and then Rear Admiral F. V. McXair might be considered eligible for appointment as "an admiral," but as it specifically stated "by selection and promotion," it is apparent that the pres ident, if he thinks he has sufficient au thority to do so, may select any ollicer he may sec fit, and us he has expressed himself only recently in terms of high appreciation of Rear Admiral Samp son's conduct, friends of the command er of the North Atlantie squadron are confident that if anyone is appointed he will be the man. THINKS HE IS DEAD. Sew Torlc 3Fan Goes Daft Over1 Spir itualism and Shoots Himself In IV Mirror. All the physicians and nurses in Belle vue hospital, at New York city, cannot convince Joseph Jureevitz that he is not dead by his own hand. He aimed four shots, and he knows exactly where they struck. A broken plate glass mirror at 022 East Twelfth street, where he lives, proves this. Jurcev tz shot his own reflection, and he is firmly convinced that each wound was fatal. Incidentally, he shot a stove that he be lieves is the medium which causedTlhe trouble. The man came to this country from St. Petersburg. Jureevitz first went to Boston. He was invited to attend a spiritualistic seance, and was forthwith converted to Spiritualism. He was provided with a spook sweetheart, one Lelia., the spirit of an Egyptian princess thousands of years old. Lelia told Jureevitz that in all her wanderings she had met none to compare with him. Three years ago Lelia commanded Jureevitz to come to New York, where fame and riches awaited him. He has lived a year or more with Ed mund Raymond, at 622 East Twelfth- street, who liked him, and thought his eccentricities harmless. Jureevitz' mind is completely unbalanced. o o o I Babies and children need (proper food, rarely ever medi cine. If they do not thrive I on their food something is : I wrong.
