Several years ago Frof. H. L. Garner ex
pressed the opinion that apes and monkeys
havo a language of their own and. arc able
to convey Idea by means of vocal speecn.
Tho professor set forth his Ideas In scverat
rangazlt.0 articles, and In a small volume,
giving very good reaions for his belief In
the existence ot a Simian language or lan
guages. His Investigations up to that time
had been confined entirely to apes and
monkeys held In captivity, but Immedi
ately after the appearance of bis book he
made preparations to visit the home of the
great apes in Africa. He now publishes the
results of the Investigations carried on for
several years past In a volumo entitled,
"Apes and Monkeys; Their Life and Lan
guage," to which Edward Everett Halo has
contributed nn Introduction. His adventures
In Africa were quite out of the ordinary.
Ho took with him an Iron cage In serl'ons,
which served as his home and at the same
time as a protection against thn sudden at
tacks of wild beasts during the many
months spent In the dense Jungles of trop
ical Africa. Seated In this cago he was able
to study tbo habits and character of the
fierce gorilla os well ns of tho smaller
species of npes, as no man has ever done
before. The recital of his adventures, to
gether with tho entirely new facts regard
ing the life habits of the chimpanzee and
gorilla, make n most Interesting story. It
might be added that Prof, earner's method
of studying tho languages ot npes Is quite
original. In that he Is tho first to Introduce
tho phonograph, by means of which ho
catches tho words uttered by his Simian
friends and then reproduces and studies
them nt his leisure. In this way ho has
learned tho meaning of n number of words,
which lib la able to Imttato with his own
voice o well that the opes readily vnder-

and those which he saw In captivity would

Ing In this book Miss Itayner follows her
great successes In the field of, historical
romances ot tho colonial period with an
even greater and moro thrilling novel of
southern life of twenty-five yenrs ago,
Like most southern stories, it has a tinge
of dialect and Is strangely tainted with a

most southern stories, this hatred comes
not from, any racial or clannish feeling,
but simply as the result of a great ir.

supposed murder of their father fifteen
years before the time of tho opening:
chapter. Tho work Is a strong, closely
written story of life and brings out with
great clearness and vividness the simple
homely character of tho southern moun
tnlncer, with his Intense Individuality nnd
his susceptibility to superstition and the
overruling destinies of fate. Impelled by
a desire for revenging the death of her
father a keen, far-sighted girl goads to
despair the son of her father's supposed
murderer, only to find, too late, that her
suspicions have no foundation and that
she has wrecked the lives of Innocent par
ties. Tho chief advantage of the book lies
In Its deep and Intricate plot, with Ita
many Issues, each ot them ot ouff.clcntly
keen interest to delegate the background,
graphic, ns It Is, to Its proper place. Any
one who loves a thrilling tale with a deep
laid plot cannot do better than to give this
book his generous attention. Small, May

Charles Kcrguson has written a book

Yet the book Is underlaid with an Intelli

of n specialist, the work of a man who has
given his life to the historical and philo

The recent complications In Venezuela
over tho needed protection of tho asphal-
turn beds gives a very timely interest to tho
leading article in the Jnnuary Popular
Science Monthly, by Prof. S. F. Pockham
entitled, "Aspbaltum for a Mcderu Street."
Prof. Peckham elves nn exhaustive treat

The general interest in tho Booker T.
Washington scries ot autobiographical
articles cnlled "Up from Slavery." now-
being pubished In the Outlook, is con
stantly on the Incrense. The installment
contained In the January magazine number
of tho Outlook tells somo extremely sig
nificant ns well as amusing stories of tho
difficulties encountered at Tuskegee In In
ducing tho ambitious colored students to
turn their attention to industrial subjects.
Tho article has many illustrations. The

Boston's loug-c3'.abll9hcd weekly maga
zine, the Living Age, opens Its 22Sth volume
with the number which boars date on
tho first Saturday ot January. So long c
period of continuous publication, running
buck fifty years, presupposes qualities ot
enduring value lu the magazine and a large
measure ot attachment on the part ot Its
readers. Tho fact Is that thv editors nt
the magazine, have been singularly success
ful in retaining the characteristics which
gave the periodical its original hold upon
the reading public and at the same time
brcadentng Its scops anil Introducing new
elements ot varloty and tlmcllnss.i.
Dr. Albert Shaw established tho American
Review- of Ret lews early In the year 1S91
and thus that publication la now closing the
first ten years of Its existence, during all
of which period it has remained tinier Dr.
Shaw's editorship and direction. T'no s'.-ore
of bound volumes ot the American Review
of Reviews for the closing decade of tho
nineteenth century will probably be found
In the years to enran to contain a more
compact and varied record and Interpreta
tion of the life, thought, discussions and
International movements nt the world In
which wc live than any other ono contem
porary record. The twenty volumes of
this ten-year period contain an aggregate
of from 12,000 to 13,000 illustrations, of
which probably S.O00 or D.O00 are portniits,
A little burlesque of the Cudahy kidnaping

neer King changed his order to Oregon fir,
These planks aro 4x6 Inches anil twenty-two
feet In length. Tho claim is mnde that f.

well as oak. It Is estimated that 30,000
