ft.?J 10 THE PHTSBUIIG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1891 i found many difficulties to overcome. I could cot remember them; I could not get a monkey to rep eat, nor could I imitate them with my own vocsl organs, but when the phonograph occurred to me I felt as sured of ultimate success. My first experi ment was made in "Washington. I separ ated a maie ana lemaie tuat had been cagea together and put the female into a small caj-e and placed her in another part of the building and placed the phonograph near her and with much difficulty induced her to make a few sounds which I recorded on the machine. I then placed the instrument sear the cage of the male, and reproduced the sounds to him. Kecojniied His Mate's Voice. The evident signs of recognition ware too plain to doubt. He hunted in the horn and til round it, but his perplexity at not find ing her was amusins. He would retire in disgust, but the familiar voice of his mate would soon induce him to return and renew his search, but that squeaking, chattering horn was a new affair to him. He seemed to regard me as the author of this trouble, and would occasionally hurl his milk pan nt me and talk in a very angry tone. I then secured a few of his 'sounds and delivered them to the female, who showed some signs of recognition, but the record was very poor and her manner Bomowhat indifferent. Thus conclndcd my first experiment, and thus for the first time I acted as an inter preter between two monkeys, and while the results were not all that I had wished, I felt the inspiration to farther efforts to find the fountain head trom which flowi out the great river of human speech. Soon after this I went to Chicago and Cincinnati, where I made many records of monkeys, among which I made a good record of the two chimpanzees in the Cincinnati col lection. JJeturning home with my cvlinders I repeated them over and over till quite familiar with them, and till I could Imitate a few of them in a tolerable manner. I then went again to Chicago and paid a visit to the little brown monkev, the record of whose voice had been my.chief study. Tlio Sound Tbat Stands for Food. Standing near his cage I repeated the sound which I had translated, "milk," but now I began to find a much wider meaning, and from a great many tests I concluded that it meaftt, "food," and also that it seemed to be used as akind of "shibboleth." I can now begin to see why the word for food may be so intimatelr connected with every kindly office done him. The central thought of simian existence is food, and hence Its very name is the "open sesame" to his heart It is a very difficult matter to construct any formula of human speech which would coney an adequate idea of the woi d, but as nearly as I can express the sound by any literal lormuia it is almost "wn-u-w, with vanishing "w" effect so to be barelv capable of detection. the diagraph and Jaint as It is a rich and rather musical sound. bavin; a slight piping effect,but is produced by the vocal organs just as human speech Is produced. The way in which it is used is quite difficult to illustrate, but each word or sound is within itself a sentence as com plete and full as the concept which it is meant to express. "When a monkey uses the 6onnd for food ho means food of any kind, hunger to eat, the desire to eat, that which satisfies, the comfort derived from eating or anything which food will procure. Two Other Common Words. The wordwhich Ibelieve to mean "drink" begins with a very feeble guttural "ch," gliding through a thort "u," much like the German "n" .vith umlaut ''w" and ending in a vanishing "w." Another word is much like "ecgk" and is used when threat ening or scolding, and is marked by a slight tremolo effect, as nearly all the sounds are that are made by American monkeys. Among many others this simple test has been quite efficient: To hold in one hand a cup ot water or milk and in the other some food and keep them out of view of the monkey. Then with the phonograph to say one or the other of the words till the monkey responds. Then show him the thing he did not say, and if he will accept It he will speak it, but if he will not speak it you will observe that he will not accept it, but if he continues saying the other word, you will find generally that he will accept the one he sneaks. On one of my visits to the cage of the little monkey in Chicago I was struck by the conduct and peculiar sound made by'him, but after a time I felt sure he was calling my attention to the weather as he would look out the window at each gust of wind and rain. So I finally secured a record of the sound, and at a later time I repeated it to the same animal when it had cleared off, and he immediately ran to the window and looked out. I repeated it several times, and caused him to look out the window, and this caused me to believe that the word had some reference to the w eather. Degslns for a Glass of "Water. Anothersound recorded from this monkey, accompanied by a peculiar rubbing of his side and groin, 1 repeated to another money of the same species in Cincinnati, which caused him to act in much the same way, though with softie indifference. On approaching the little Cincinnati monkey, I addressed him in his own native tongue, using the word which I had called "milk." He immediately came to the front of" the cage ana replied with the same sound. He seemed, howeer, to be in doubt, but I re- peated the word, and he did the same. He soon turned to a pan kept in his cage to drink irom, picked it up and placed it near a door at the side of the cage and returned to me repeating tne word. I procured some water in a glass in which I allowed him to dip his fineers and sack the water from them. Oh." how he begged for more, but the keeper feared it would sicken him, so I had to withdraw the glass and leave him beg ging. Another sound which I learned from this little fellow I regarded as a "menace," or a cry of alarm, but it was so sharp I could not imitate it only with the phonograph. J have since, however, devised a means of imitating It quite well, and on visiting a monkey in Charleston, S. C, I concluded to try its eftect On my first visit to him 1 found him quite friendly and we became friends at once. I fed him from my hands and scratched his head and we got on quite well, but in a few days I concluded to try the "alarm" on him, which I did with very much greater success than I had desired. Poor Jokes (that was his name) sprung to a perch in the top of his cage and flew into a terrible rage. For manv weeks I conld not induce him to come down while I was pres ent; nor could I induce him to answer my impassioned imitations of his word for "food" or "drink," nor to accept any over ture of peace, except to emit a sound which was quite new to me. The I.inijnage or Surrender. After the lapse of two or three weeks. however, I resorted to harsher means; so I began to threaten him with a rod. At first he was disposed to resent it, but on failing to intimidate me with his many threats, lie soon yielded and came down from his perch, though at first with great reluctance. When he first came down he would place the side of his head on the floor of his cage and put out his tongue and utter a very plaintive sound, having a slight interrogative in flection. At first this demeanor quite de fied interpretation; but during the same time I was frequently visiting a youn" monkey called Jack. He was ol the same species, and Jack and I were quite good friends for strangers, and he allowed me many liberties with him which the family assured me he denied to others. On one oc casion he displayed his temper and made an attack on me, because I declined to let go a saucer from which I was leeding him milk. I jerked him up by the chain and slapped him for his insolence, whereupon he in stantly laid the side of his head upon the floor, put out his tongue and made just such a sound as Jokes had made several times be lore. It quite satisfied me that it was a sign of surrender, and many subsequent tests confirm this opinion. My daily visits to Jokes bad cot won him back after a lapse of more than two months. On my approach he would manifest great fear and go through this feat of humiliation. I observed that he entertained a profound hatred for a negro boy about the (dace who teased and vexed him very much. I had the boy come Bear the cage and Jokes would almost for get everything else in this fit of anger. The Instinct ot Revenge. ' I would feign to beat the boy with sticks and balls of paper and this wonld fill his whole simian heart with unspeakable joy. I would hold the boy and let Jokes pull at his clothes and claw at him and make a greatado, and he would fairly glow with happiness, and in this way Jokes began to regard me as a hero and show many siens of admiration, and thus our friendship was gradually renewed, and after each encoun ter he would come up to the bars and touch my hand with his tongue and show many signs of good feeling. Ho was soon so he would chatter and play with my fingers and play many little pranks which seemed in tended for me. Afterward, as long as I was with him, he would alwavs warn me of the approach of anyone, and his conduct toward strangers was governed by mine. If I re ceived them as friends hedid so, but if I at tacked them he would do the same, and he always saluted me with his word, described above. Another little capuchin was named Jen nie. Her master told me beforehand that Jennie did not like strangers, and that I should be very careful of her. At my re quest he had her chained in a small side yard, and forbade any of the family enter ing it. On approaching the little lady with the usual salutation, which she seemed to understand, I sat down beside her and gave her some peanuts first and then a pecan. "When I gave her this she held it up and made a strange sound, which I do not think I had heard before, After a little time I procured two stones for her and she at once cracked the nut very dexterously. I must confess, however, that I do not think she would have done this if she had not been taught by man to do so. Imitation Amons the Monkeys. True, monkeys do many humanlike things, and.people supply what they do not see so as to mace tbe'act complete. I do not think that they do it dishonestly, but I think they do it as some newspaper reporters conduct .an interview they often find that they omitted to ask certain questions, so they judge from what one has said in the inter view tbat he would have said so and so in answer to certain questions had they been asked, and they put it down as though it had really been said. In one visit to Jennie a negro girl, over come by curiosity, entered the yard and came near us. I determined to sacrifice her on the altar of science, so I arose and put her between the monkey and myself and vigorously sounded the "menace." Jennie flew into a fury, as I continned to sound it, and I attacked the girl with peanut hulls and wads of paper, and caused Jennie to believe that the girl had made the alarm. I then- drove her away with a great show of violence, and for days afterward the girl could not feed or approach the little simian. "Whili this confirmed in a measure my opinion as to the meaning of this sound, I must confer: that it has not always been at tended with uniform results. I have tried it in some instances where it failed to pro duce the panic that resulted in some others. The sound may be fairly reproduced by placing the back of the hand gently on the mouth and kissing it with great force and prolonging it some seconds. It will be found to correspond in pitch with the highest "F sharp" on the piano, while the word "food" is four octaves lower, and "drink" three. The Voice and the Jam, It will require time and careful study to determine with certainty the value and use of these sounds, but I am quite convinced that the number and the variety of the sounds of the chimpanzee are quite capable 01 rendering many laeas witu comparative accuracy. In July last I made a very fair record of the great Anubis baboon in the Philadel phia garde-'.. I did not expect to find in him a well developed language, but on the other hand, obtained, as I had anticipated. a record of sounds of a type which is in keeping with certain cranial characteristics, and my belief that the gnathic index is also a vocal index received a farther proof. I find certam vocal traits belongs to cer tain cranial types, and as we descend the seals from man through apes and monkeys to the lemurs and lemuroids, the vocal powers become less and less as we recede from the higher types, just in proportion as the prognathic character extends. In simpler terms, the voice becomes more and more deficient in scope and quality as the jaws and muzzle strengthen. This conclusion is based upon many ex periments and records, among which I have recorded the voices of lions, tigers, cats. dogs, monkeys, baboons, apes and different races of men, together with many kinds of birds, although the last are of quite a different vocal range from the others. Prof, Garner's Conclusions. On the whole, I am convinced that all animals possess a form of speech which is commensurate with their social and mental development; that man may master it so as to enable him to learn their wants and un derstand their emotions; that they are as far advanced in language as tbey are in thought; that they make voluntary sounds with fixed values, designed to convey cer tain ideas, and that they are understood and obeyed by others of the same species; that the rudiments of their speech are similar to those of man, and are such as may be easily develcpcd into human speech; that their mode of speech is as near to human speech they themselves are mentally, morally THE MUSIC WORLD.

OPENING CONCERT BT THE HOZAETS ana socially; mat tne hiatus which separ ates mem irom man in speech is equal to that which separates them physically; that they are capable of developing into higher and more definite types of speech; that modes of thought formulate the modes of speech, and that all speech is vague or definite as the thoughts are vague or definite; that all voluntary sounds intended to convey thought are integrals of speech; that speech is as neces sarily the product of thought as salt is of chlofin and sodium; that speech is material ized thought; that speech is the body of which thought is the souL The Difference In the Sounds, I feel quite justified in stating th3t types of speech vary among simians as much as their physical types vary, and the same is true throughoutthe whole range of life. I must here explain why the same sounds are uttered by the same species with so little difference, as .this has been mentioned as evidence that animals do not talk, and that human speech has to be learned, and that individuals acquire the language with which they are brought in contact. The uniformity of structure of the vocal organs in any given species of animals is Buch that the natural sounds are casts of the same vo cal matrix, differing in volume and pitch in proportion to the lung power and size of the glottis; while human speech is mainly arti ficial, except the phonic basis, and that is as uniform in man as in the lower animals, when we omit those sounds which only cul ture and heredity can produce. As man has advanced from age to age in social and men tal growth he has expanded his linguistio faculties to meet his more multiplex condi- uuiib ui iue, as iiis multiplied laeas neeaeu increased means of expression. A Very Hold Prophecy. My reputation as a prophet is here staked on the prediction that science will become in the near future as familiar with simian modes of thought and speech as it now is with their modes of life and habitats. "With that hiatus bridged, why may not man invade the solitudes of simian life and prime that lamp of reason whose feeble rays are faintly visible irom every headland reaching out along the shores of human in tellect? "Whether I shall finally succeed or not in spanning that chasm, I shall at least have pointed out the way in which it may be done. I am aware that among the high priests of philology I may be called a heretic, but I am wilhns to abide by the verdict of time. If wrong, I shall then be an exile from the household of science; but if right, I shall sit among the elders of the land, least on the fatted calf of philology and find shelter in the folds of progress.

Each kind was reasonably satisfactory, at least, according to its own standard; there was something good for every shoe All things considered, the Emma Juch company makes the best attempt at grand opera performances of any troupe now on the road. "We know better than to expect anything more than a creditable attempt at the impossible task of giving grand opera on wheels, especially at prices ranging downward from ?2 or $1 60. -in tne orchestra, betore all else, is the superiority of Manager Locke's company to ds iouna. iie carries better players ana more of them than have accompanied any troupe since his all too costly experiment with the National Opera Company of blessed memory. Under the baton of Mr. Bevignani, the famous Covent Garden con ductor and a composer of repute, this body interpreted the scores in a refined and effective fashion that was truly delightful. The chorus, also, while not nearly so flaw less in its work as'the orchestra (choruses never are) was superior in tone-volume and in spirit and precision of singing to the tra ditional grand opera chorus. For his attention to these generally neg lected departments upon which such a large proportion of the really artistic effect de pends, Mr. Locke deserves warm praise. The mounting of the operas last week, how ever, was meager and shabby to a degree. Age has staled and the baggage smasher's customs have withered the beauty and variety of the scenery that started out blithely with the National Opera Company six years ago. If new scenery and proper ties cannot be bought, at least let the ad vance aeent preserve a prudent silence on this point j the broken promises of spectacu lar magnificence reacted strongly at the box office. Among the principals, Miss Juch shines brilliantly. She has been at her best all wcekjthe two roles she assumed for the first time here considerably extended her well-earned hold upon Pittsburg's favor. As Elizabeth her noble bearing in the hall of song, her tender, womanly solicitude for her misguided minstrel knight and her rapt devotion as she plead for him at the shrine, were upon the highest histrionic level, and she used her rich, -nn tn. prano (which keeps its freshness amazing, ly) with an artistio skill and a musical feeling that were altogether delightful. It was an impersonation worthy to rank with the best Miss Juch's Santuzza was upon the same high plane. Her conception of the character presented a pure-minded maiden, whose great love had been her un doing, now feeling keenly her disgrace and distracted by the conflict of loyal loite and just indignation toward her craven lover. It was a more lovable and hicrher type than the sensuous, vengeful girl portrayed by Minnie Hauk, and a type, too, that supplied the needed contrast to the coquetries of the faithless wife, Zola, who had enticed Santuzza') lover from her. Miss Juch's con ception was admirably wrought out, both in action and in song. Mr. Albert Guille's exceptionally fine tenor was heard to great advantage in such roles as Turidder and tttuit. His acting, too, was marked by greater freedom and force than tenors commonly display. Miss Amanda Fabris deserves recognition for her pure and pliant soprano and artistic use of it; uer impersonation oi aaniuzza on Satur day afternoon was distinctly creditable from all points of view. Miss Lizzie MacNichol's luscious, melting contralto was again heard with much pleasure, as also was the sonorous bass of Mr. Franz Vetta; these two are a sterling pair of young Amer ican singers, wedded to their art as to each other. Mr. Mertens is a useful baritone, with many strong points, of which his Eng lish pronunciation is not one. His associate, Mr. kaminski, sang Valentine with consid erable effect, (according to reliable report) but in pure Russian ! This question of lan guage, by the way, is a tremendous stum bling block under present conditions; when will America produce her own male sing ers? The minor roles were fairy filled. A New Tenor Engaged. "What the Juch troupe seems to need most is another tenor. That need may now be filled, however, by the engagement yester day afternoon of Mr. Joseph C Briel, of this city, who will join the company next week at Washington, D. C, and make his debut asluridduin "Cavalleria Rusticana." He will also sing Jlfar in "Der Freischuetz," Lionel, in "Bohemian Girl," Manrico in "II Trovatore," etc Mr. Breil is a 6on of the well known local attorney and was born in Pittsburg in 1870. He was" intended for the law, but took to music to such a degree that at 18 he was writing an operetta "Orlando," which was privately produced -here in January, 1859. From that time until the past summer, Mr. Breil has been in Leipsig, studying theory and vocal music While there he sang Max and Famino ("Magic Flute") in the Con servatory's annual opera, productions. Bince his return Jir. Jireu has taught king ing and has organized and conducted the flourishing Orphens Society, of East End. He goes with a six weeks' leave of absence from bis conductor's stand, which will be come a resignation if he decides to remain permanently with the Juch troupe. The best wishes of many friends go with the Pittsburg lad. V Some Good Points, Some Bad. It is scarcely necessary to go into details with reference to the operatic performances last week. At the Iluquesne the mixed pro gramme was an experimenthat hardly jus tified itself. A piece of the frivolous, though bright and pleasing style of "The Jolly Students," by Suppe, is not a good curtain-raiser for Mascagni's fiery, somber little tragedy opera, and the well-known Casino methods were also out of place in "Cavalleria Busti cana." The orchestra was simply laughable; it proudly possessed the oft missed harp, but lacked a single 'cello, bassoon or hornl The conductor had more use for his piano than for his baton. Nevertheless, there were good points. Miss Pauline L'Allemand developed unex pected vocal qualities as Santuzza and acted with much intensity. The Lola of Miss Villa Knox was altogether admirable, per haps the best yet heard here, and that made great difference in the opera. The chorus sang quite well, and the stace management and mounting were exceedingly effective and beautiful. "Wang," at the Bijou, served as a good medium for the display of DeWolf Hopper, Delia Fox and the rest in the species of en tertainment which is identified with the Hopperian fame. The composer and libret tist made no difference; it is to all essential intent the same show, and with the same uproarous merry-making that Mr. Hopper is wont to give This kind of thing is good enough in its way; it is not a very musical way.

Brockctt, Jr., as the Narrator, with the chorus of 175 voices and orchestra of about 38 instruments, conducted by Mr. James P. McCollum. Mendelssohn's "Melusine" overture will be prefixed to the choral work. "Eve" is called by the author, Louis Gallet, a "Mystery in Three Parts" Bnd is to be understood as a modern poetical essay in the field once occupied by the mediaeval mysteries or passion plays. The work partakes of the character of oratorio and of opera as well, inclining lather to the latter. It follows and "Frenchifies" tho Miltonio idea that the fall of man was first manifest in sensuousness. Masseuet s musio car ries out this idea to the full; the wore was written at an early stage in the career of the still young and now famous opera writer, about the same period as his first great operatic success, "Roi d'Lahore." "Eve" was given for the first time in America by Mr. Clement Tetedoux, at Chicago, in 1880 or 1881. This will be its first production here, an occasion of excep tional interest Boston Has Approved Them. The various notices of the Austrian Juvenile Band that have already appeared in these columns have, of course, been based upon the representations of the man agement Now that the youngsters have appeared in Boston and effected an extra ordinary conquest of the stern critics of that musical center, Pittsburgers are justified in forming the highest sort of an expectation as to their musical prowess. we are to near lor ourselves this week at the Auditorium, where three concerts are to be given by this band of boys, on Tues day evening and on "Wednesday afternoon and evening, respectively.

It is delicious music, every measure of it." It received its first presentation at the hands of the Kneisel Quartet and Mr. O. Novacek, of the Boston Symphony Or chestra, in New York, November 6.

At the meeting of the New York Piano Manufacturers' Association held Friday, November C, the report of the Committee on Uniform Pitch, previously submitted, recommending the adoption of that A which gives 435 'double vibrations in a second of time, was unanimously adopted. Colonel Levi K. Fuller made a two hours' speech, completely elucidating the subject and giv ing the association the benefit of his thorough researches. After the adoption of the uniform pitch Mr. William Steinway introduced the following resolution, which was adopted: Itesolved, That the standard musical pitch adopted by the piano manufacturers of the United States giving that A which vibrates 435 douole vibrations in a second of time at CS Fahrenheit, shall be known as the Inter national Fitch. This action assures the eventual accom plishment of one of the most important and most needed musical reforms. A sincle prevalent standard of pitch, and that a low one, means a vast deal for both vocal and instrumental art in this country. The sooner every tuner possesses himself of a stindard fork and uses it in his work, the better for him as a wideawake master of his trade. Pittsburg, through Mr. C. H. "William Bute, shares the credit of this reform, which got its first strong impulse from his paper read before the National League of Musi cians some years ago, and warmly indorsed by that body.

It must be seen to be appreciated. Many thousands have visit ed the new city during the past few months and a good proportion bought property after carefully looking into it and its outlook for the future. To the man Of moderate means, no better place could be selected to own a home and make a good living, as there will be constant work, and the cost of living and taxes are small as compared with larger cities. To the man Of business who locates there now a fortune is assured, as the large and growing population necessitated by the thousands of workmen required in the different manufactories will make tpe consumption and demand large for all the necessaries of life. To the man Who buys property there and builds houses to rent or sell, no better investment can be made, as high prices can be obtained for them. To those who buy property there now, at present prices, to hold as an invest ment, will double their money before spring. Kensington is a beautifully located and healthful city. Its streets are wide, graded, sewered and with sidewalks. It has Pure Spring Water piped through the different streets, where attachments can be made to homes and business places.
