MISSING LINK FOUND, SAYS SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE.

New York, June s.—The missing link has been found! A monkey which talks like a man ■has been discovered by Prof. R. L. Gamer, of the Smithsonian institute, who returned today from the French Congo, bringing with him a skeleton of this strange animal. This monkey taught Professor Garner ihte language before he was killed and the professor 'has samples of the language with him. “This monkey,” eaid the professor, “represents the 'highest type of animal life—short of man. It is a type hitherto unknown and the nearest description I can give you, aside from the technical one, is Ito say that it resembles a cross between the gorilla and the chimpanzee. “The 'language is strikingily similar to that of the human natives of the Congo region, where the monkey is found.' You 'have to learn at least part of the monkey language before you can approach one of the animate.”
