One thought oftli.it Irresistibly In Now York thistut month, Hero wan Sarah Bernhardt playing to crowded houses withmuch of hrr o:d time vim and vigor,nd she in over 71: nnd n man nearly70 jet out blithely again for Africa, ashe has born doing every few yeuroduring a quarter of n century, to bringHek dead and living gorillas andchimpanzees.Tin- traveller was Itlchard L. Oarjitr. Twenty-six years ago he beganjoins to the African wilds to explorend to study anthropoid apes, liewent on various expeditions for theSen- York Zoological Park, tho Smithwn!an Institution and his own privateenterprises, living In Jungles, studyingchimpanzees and gorillas at closerange and training for exhibition orcaptivity In all twenty-six chimpantees snd twelve gorillas.And now he Is going again on whawill bo perhaps the most Importantundertaking of his life. When theSmithsonian Institution wanted acomplete and comprehensive collectionof anthropoids Dr. WalcoK sent forGarner as "the only man who knowswhere they all are." The Institution'staxidermist, Mr. Ashmcler, sailed withDr. Garner on tho French steamerChicago on December 15, 1916, and theprime object of their mission la tohunt out the finest specimens procurable of Slmtldae In western or centralAfrica and to bring them back toWashington.The expedition has a secondary aim.which has to do with Arthur Collins, aion of fortune and a sportsman fromPhiladelphia, who will Join the partyIn Africa In February or March withCharles W. Furlong, writer, lecturerand moving picture operator.Collins Is a real eportsman. At Intervals of two or threo years duringthe la.st twenty-two years he has beenlolng to various parts of the world tohoot wild game, his last trip being toSouth America In 1914, when, with Mr.Cherrle of the American Museum ofXitural tlMory. he brought bock aremarkable collection of little knownanimals and ram birds. He visitedDr. William T. Hornaday of the NewTork Serological Park late last summer to make Inquiries concerninghunting in Corea, Siberia and Tibet.He wanted to bring back a Siberiantiger and a Tibetan bear, but Dr.Hornaday dissuaded him."Have you ever hunted gorillas?"asked Dr. Hornaday. "Then do It."Collins was moved to Join Dr. Garner's African expedition. The scientist has preceded the big game hunteras one who knows the trails, topave the way to build a wftlte man'shou-e for four and to map out anItineraryThe uninitiated In exploration and jJungle living would be overwhelmed atRamcr'a undertaking, and many nyounger man would hesitate to assume the responsibility. On the Chl-cngo with him went 100 separatepieces of freight, each the maximumsize and weight for native carrying,nnd 400 separate, piece of baggage,none of them small. Thousands ofdollars were expended In equipment, alarge percentage of the money goingfor food, Including tons of flour, beans,dried fruits, dried vegetables. No provisions can be purchased on the otherside, because of the war. 'With theprovisions went n store of guns andammunition, camping and cookingoutfits and sundries essential to whiteliving.Collins nnd Furlong will find theircompanions settled In one of tho Congos when they arrive. A year or morewill be spent by the party In Africawith Collies hunting gorillas, Ash-meler stuffing them and Furlong taking movies under Garner's direction.Paul Rniney has killed specimens ofnil the Important wild animals exceptgorillas In Africa, and moving pictures of Jungle life have been broughtback by other explorers. But Dr.Garner believes that as one who knowsAfrica from tho Inside ho can superintend tho taking of pictures that couldbe obtained in no other way.Ho proposes to secure pictures ofgorillas and champanzees at home withtheir f amlllos; entertaining one another; calling, moving about to vlsttone another or to search for food, Ingroups, usually on their hind legs.man-fashion, when they do not knowthey are being observed; one taking anap, perhaps, on the peculiar andsometimes comfortable bed these beastsprepare for themselves. Naturalistsbelieve that gorillas at least sometimestry a bed during the day before occupying It at nightBesides moving pictures of this animal life Dr. Garner expects to get fromremote regions movies' of the nativeprocessions and dances doing honor toBultt, a kind of rough wooden Imagewhich tho natives do not at all worship, but which stands, to them, as asymbol and warning of other things.Missionary teachings seldom quitdrive Bum away Bultl 'being a harmless enough plaything, according toGarner but transform him Into aseries of Images grouped together;three, usually, confused with ChristianInstruction. These native procession!and dances are carried on well out ofthe way of the mission schools and ofwhite men, and pictures of them havenever reached civilization.Garner has lived in Africa so manyyears without white companions thathe feels peculiarly fitted to get thingsthere that other explorers cannot. Hesides the stuffed collection for theSmithsonian Institution and the moving pictures It is his intention to bringback two or more live .gorillas andI have approached a human habitationnnd would have attacked any man itthey did not run nwuy from himwhom they found camping unprotectedon their particular preserves.Dr. Garner was Indignant at a reportprinted Just before he sailed to the effect that whtn hunting In the Junglehe would precede Collin's and attractthe game by Imitating the gorilla's cry.corresponding to "Come here." Notonly Is no such thing contemplated,but Dr. Garner told the writer Derore! sailing that he was no longer InterI csted in the speech of apes, for he conI sldcred that ho had proved the two' chief points of his life's work to seoff-SUSIE.A MOST INTELLIGENT CHIMPANZEE. .ENJOYED THIS OTKINDERGARTEN STUFF evict LEARNED AS QUICKLY AS MANYCU1LORENchimpanzees, us he has done manytimes before.Gorillas develop great delicacy incaptivity and Invariably die In a shorttime. It Is, however, his theory that ayoung gorilla can be Inured to civilization gradually and helped to live aslong as a chimpanzee. In 1912 hebrought a threo-year-old female gorillato the New York Zoological Park. Shesurvived the voyage and Its attendantseasickness, but lasted only a few daysat tho Zoo. He was a llttlo moro fortunate with Dinah, a young femalesecured by him In Africa In 191S andbrought here In August, 1914.Live gorillas are obtained by nativehunters, never, by a white man, andthey must bo caught when they areyoung or not at nil. A full growngorilla' will kill himself before surrendering. When cornered he uses hlmelf up In his fierce fighting: if caughtIn a trap he will beat himself to deathin an effort to escape. The nativemethod Is to steal up behind a femalewith her young while the male Is offforaging, brain her with a club or despatch her with a short spear and stealthe child.Dinah came to Dr. Garner by thisroute when she was about 2 years old.At first she wanted to light all the time.She was kept In a spacious cage, witha comfortable, clcjn little sleeping cagewithin it, or chained on the veranda ofthe house. Sho had a playmate inDon, a shy llttlo malo gorilla capturedsomo time before, and already happyami contented with his lot. But Dinahhad no use for Don or any one else forsome weeks.It has been Garner's contention thathe can train nny anthropoid that Is notnaturally stupid or vicious. Apes, hesays, are like men; some are intelligentand sweet tempered by nature andothers aren't. He himself discards anfnpe or a gorilla If he finds it stupid orInnately evil tempered.Dinah was neither, and In a fewweeks she was at liberty with Don. ,Neither of them would stir nlone fromthe veranda of the house, which seems ;to be the way of these animals oncethey become accustomed to a house ashome.The young gorillas played togetherall day, ate at a table with knives,forks, spoons and plates, a table clothand napkins, and slept between sheetsin little white beds at night. If visitorscame to see Dr. Garner Don ran awayand hid, being a queer, timid creature, ibut Dinah made frlonds or was frankly icurious about them and prone to stare Iand sniff.She lived In Africa a year, and wasthen brought to New York, whero shelived In tho zoo a second year and amonth, dying there In September, 1916,of an Illness supposed to have beenInfantile paralysis. The malady attacked her mysteriously, Just as it did.o many children a year later, andstrenuous efforts were mado to saveher.Her keeper might have been seenany day trundling her about In an ordinary nerflmhnlHtnr.

That Is to say hehas not found nny more Intelligent apesince. Ho got her when sfle was twodays old and brought her up on milkfed with a spoon, dressing her In infants' clothes and keeping her In acradle until sho was able to sit at tablewith him at meal time. Until the NowYork Zoological Park secured her In1911 she always wore rompers whenshe played, a little silk frock whenthere was company at tea, a nape cloakand cop on the street nnd silk pajamas1to bed. Her first few days In a cageat the Zoo, naked as her fellows, wcroundoubtedly tho unhapplest of herlife. She was shamed und humiliated.Susie went through her kindergarten exhibitions as though sho liked' them. She could pick out prismatic,colorH from a tangled pile; separate. blocks nnd cones and prisms andspheres as directed; bring any pieceof fruit from a dish or basket as requested by her teacher, or come backempty handed If ho was fooling herand tho fruit asked for was not there.POLLY, A CHIMPANZEE..LIXESTD RUN A T7P&WlntK.1ISo Suslo became n pupil with defectlvo llttlo girls and boys.

Therewas a locked box of cakes and candlesfor good children, and no little humanIn the schoolroom ever thought of thatbox and of other things until thoteacher forced their poor, cloudedminds to It. Not so one little ape,Susie.Wherever that box went she managed to, go, and while writing Industrljusly with her right hand got herlefi behind her back and reached up asurprising .distance to tamper with tholock, get tho box open and eat all the.contents. She never failed to pick tholock and stuff herself, and she wasjnever caught In tho net. Indeed, she.was not fixed upon as the culprit untilthe box disappeared from a shelf halfway to tho celling nnd was foundempty under a pile of blocks and toys.No little human could have got to It.There was money lacking to establish a school and a corps of giftedteachers for her alone, so her education came to an abrupt end. She entered the Zoo In The Bronx, where shesuccumbed In 1913 to the summer epUdemlo that cleared the cages there otwhat was actually the finest collectionof live anthropoid apes In tho world.Dr. Garner hopes to bring another andstill mora highly developed chimpanzee even than Suslo to New Tork onthis return from Africa.At the New York Zoological Park atthe present time there Is a scarcity ofapes. Pat, a young male. Is stupid andugly and dangerous; Fanny, althoughnever trained. Is naturnlly alert andclever, and Is worth going to see. Shehas some acrobatic antics and poses' for applause that aro her own lnvenI tlon., Polly la a typist. The paper must beI put In placo for her; then she pounds, tho keys.

But a wise attendant adjusts the carrier without furtherdelay.Ten years ago when Dr. Garner declared that apes trained to understandand appreciate laughed In true humanenjoyment at almost anything thattickled a mun he was derided. Susiennd Dick, another of tho dead chimpanzees, could bo coaxed into genuineman laughter by their keeper.SMOKY JOE MARTIN AND HOW HE .WON HIS NAMEAVISITOR was chatting withDeputy Chief Smoky Joe Martin In his office In West Thirty-third street near Broadway whenthe grizzled fire fighter brusquely Interrupted the conversation by blowinglustily Into the brass tube beside hisdesk and calling to the fireman on theapparatus floor."Put Dan on here," he said. Dan ishis chauffeur. Daredevil Dan Healy.When Dan answered Martin told himthat something was burning and to gooutside and look around.A faint odor of burning paint wasnoticeable In the room. Two minuteslater the still alarm signal sounded."There it Is now," commented theChief, "they've found something."Daredevil Dan returned and announced that there was a fire in thebuilding at 121, several doors west ofthe fire house. It was a three storywooden building occupied by a dealerIn antiques and old furniture. WestThirty-third street was Jammed withall types of vehicles, but the ponderousred hooic and ladder truck managed tofjulrm out and roll westward aboutfifty feet. Seeing a red glow In thertar of the ground floor Smoky Joeerdered an alarm pulled for a fullassignment of apparatus. Aneudy theplate glass In the show windows wascracking from the heat within.Three laddermen rushed back to thengine house and returned with severallengths of hose used to wash out thebuilding. On orders from Martin theline was connected to one end of ailamese standplpe In front of a buildingnear by. In this way he borrowedwater and held the fire until the enginemen arrived. This Is an example ofSmoky Joe Martin's way. By hisvigilance and quickness of action theblaze was put out in short order.And that Is what all the firemen talkbout when you want them to tell nstory of Smoky Joe his foresight andJudgment. The blue shirts swear byhim And while he won his nicknameby daring, it is related of him thatbe neer wants the officers to Involvethe men in unnecessary risks. "Ourfame is hazardous, has always been,and depite present day progress Itahai will be" says tho Chief.Smoky Joe is forever praising theBremen.
