THE qOVlNGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 1911

Second of Its Kind Arrived
New York the Other Day.
Just at Present Animal is Suffering
From Nervous Melancholia and
Takes Sullen and Disgruntled
View of Life.
New York.—The second gorilla ever
brought alive Into the United States
arrived the other day on the liner La
Provence, in care of Dr. R. L. Garner,
monkey expert at the Bronx zoo.
Dr. Garner secured the animal in
Central ^ Africa, where
he has been
hunting gorillas for several months.
The arrival Is about two and one
half years old and from computation
of what Insurance men would call the
life expectation of monkeys, she is
likely to amuse visitors at the zoo
for fifteen or twenty years.
Just at present she is suffering from
nervous melancholia. She takes a
sullen and disgruntled view of life.
Dr. Garner, who thinks he knows
something about the speech which he
believes monkeys have with each
other, couldn’t get her to lock at the
tall buildings or to comment on them.
An irreverent French sailor re¬
marked that the gorilla had made a
monkey of her learned chaperon.
Dr. Garner had the gorilla and a
young chimpanzee, which also return¬
ed with him from Africa, on deck,
showing them to the reporters and
some interested passengers.
He was talking of the results of his
years of study of monkey talk when
he lived In treetop jungle cages and
watched the bandar log, and eaves¬
dropped on their remarks as they
swung past his perch, Indulging In
their native sports and pastimes.
“I know certain sounds,” said Pro¬
fessor Garner, ‘‘which express certain
emotions and Impulses among mon¬
keys. For Instance, I can express the
Idea of fear, of joy, of food to a mon¬
key, and obtain a response which I
can understand.”
The French sailor who had been
standing by perked up. He turned
toward the gorilla.
“Ah, my friend,” he said to the
hairy, solemn beast, ‘‘do you know
me?"
To the amazement of the sailor and
of Dr. Garner the gorilla graciously
Inclined her head and then waddled
forward and shook hands with her
questioner, saying something which
was taken by the observer for, "I
gotcha!”
The incident broke up the inter¬
view.
Dr. Garner said It was much harder
to get a gorilla than he had expected.
With a fellow scientist, Mr. Imbrle,
of Baltimore, he went to Fernan Bay
by canoe from the coast, and then
roamed over 400 miles of jungle for
more than two months without com¬
ing on a trace of a gorilla.
He at last learned from the natives
of one which was kept by a French
trader on the upper Congo country.
The trader refused to sell at first, and
Dr. Garner lived with him for a week
before he changed his mind.
Director Hornaday of the Bronx
Park Zoological gardens, was waiting
at the pier with a huge bunch of
plantains to tempt his guest’s appe¬
tite.
Dr. Garner believes that, with a
plaintain diet, the gorilla can be per¬
suaded to get rid of her grouch and
her propensity to commit suicide by
self-starvation.
DOG MOTHERS SMALL KITTEN
French Terrier Adopts Tiny Feline
and Brings It Up With Her Own
Litter of Offspring.
Paris.—A dog In Nancy is reported
to have mothered an orphan kitten to
make amends for another dog's deed.
Two rat terriers caught a cat and wor¬
ried it to death. The ca{ left two
kittens. In a loft, a few hours after
the cat had been killed, a rat terrier
mother dog, exploring the loft,
found the kittens, one of which was
still alive, while the other had died.
She took up the kitten in her teeth
and carried it down to where her own
puppies were installed and put it with
them, nursing it like one of her own
litter.
This was noble enough, but the dog
did more. The kitten having been no¬
ticed among the puppies, people came
to look. This perturbed the dog, who
evidently thought: “These men may
object to my unusual behavior and It
is just as likely they may take my
adopted child away.”
Soon afterward the kitten was no
longer to be seen among the puppies.
At last it was discovered that the
good mother dog had taken the kitten
up to the loft and hidden It there and
that she went backward and forward
from the puppies to the kitten, nurs¬
ing alternately her own offspring and
that of the cat which the foster moth¬
er’s own kin had killed. The kitten
was fetched down, and now the dog is
contentedly bringing it up among her
puppies.
Mice Tie Up Trains.
Newburgh, N. Y.—Mice are making
life unpleasant for railroad men.
Twice within a week the machinery of
the West Shore yards has been put
out of commission by the rodents.
The machinery is operated by elec¬
tricity. A mouse got Into the switch¬
board twice and short-circuited the
current. Electricians worked two days
to restore conditions to normal.
The two accidents cost the railroad
several hundred dollars for repairs
and delayed train service 300 hours.
