Lack of Conversational TJac Slakes One Kuaty in Nativo Tongue. W. B. Vanderllp, tho mining pros pector who recently spent fourteen months wandering nmong the wilds of northern Siberia, says lu his book that when ho met the ship which his em ployers had sent to hunt him up ho addressed tho captain in Russian and was reminded that the gentleman spoko English. Vanderllp sajs it may seem incredible, but Is true, that for a few moments ho was utterly unablo to converse with the captain In his own native tongue. Ho had not used a word of English In conversation for fourteen months and, being In a low physical condition, his mind was con fused. For several days he spoko n Jumble of English, Russian and Koralc, tho language of tho natives with whom ho had lived and traveled. It was u week beforo ho could talk good straight English again. There aro numerous examples of tho fact that a person may become very rusty In tho use of his native tonguo If for a long time ho has had no con versational uso of it This was Illus trated onco by a man whose fame had filled the world. It was on tho ovenlng that David Livingston first stood on tho platform of Exeter hall. Ills pro nuclatlon was peculiar and his spoech broken. Ho seemed to gropo for words. After n fow sentence lie pnused to beg tho lndulgenco of his auditors. Ho asked them to remember that for sixteen years ho had not spoken Eng lish to a living soul, and that ho had almost forgotten how to uso It A fow may recall tho lnstnnco of an llllterate.Britlsh sailor who entirely forgot English. Ho was a castaway nmong tho Solomon islanders and had lived with them perhaps thlity years beforo an English vessel found him. He hnd been completely roduced to the level of tho natives. His mental faculties wcro evidently somewhat Im paired. This may hnvo facilitated tho utter failure of his momory as fnr as English was concsrned, but tho fact that English hnd once boon his own languago enabled hlra to ncqulro a fow hundred words of it moro rondlly thnn ho would otherwlso have dono. A highly educated Polish woman of this city, who Is 'about to revisit her naUvo homo, is now brushing up her knowledge of tho language of her fath ers. Sho says sho 1ms lived hero so long that sho thinks in English and that sho will certainly appear ridicu lous in tho eyes of hor relatives If she does not practlco her natlvo speech. It soems qulto ovident that facility In tho uso of our nativo languago Is not nn lnalienablo accomplishment Now York Sun. 8TUDIES CAT LANGUAGE. Maine Hermit with Four Dozen Cats and u Phonograph. Caleb Johnson, of this town, has emulated Prof. Garner, of monkoy languago famo, by staying at homo and studying tho speech of cats, says tho Now York Tribune correspondent at Unity, Mo. Johnson 1b a man of liberal education, having been grad uated from nn eastern college, who prefers to llvo tho llfo of n hermit surrounded with forty-eight cats, to mingling with tho world and denting with moro commonplaco situations. Ho lives nlono on tho river road and from morning to night makes rocordB on a phonograph of his pots' cater wauling. It is bis contention that cats hnvo a medium of communication based on tho mow, purr and moro strident notes of their vocal organs. Ho claims to havo classified tho different calls for various kinds of food and drink nnd maintains that ho can toll by tho In flection of tho cat'B volco whether tho animal wants water or milk. When ono of his pots is hungry ho locks it up In a room with a phonograph load ed with tho receiving record. When well fed and contented ho places a machlno by tho sleeping creature nnd catches rvory sound. Some of tho slmplor folk along tho river road look upon Mr. Johnson as uncanny. Tho spoctacle of a tall, gaunt man standing In tho middle of tho road, holding animated conversa tion with a big tomcat, giving back meow for meow, strikes them as bolng a bit sinister, no has recently Intro duced an Angorn cnt to his school, claiming that that breed differs radi cally in languago from tho common short-haired puss. Tho hermit says that ho feels as though ho had a largo family of hu man being around him nnd has novor tlmo to got lonoly. Aftor cataloguing tho names of his many pets ho had to study tho temperament and Individ uality of each before ho could enter upon a moro advanced curriculum of interpreting their calls and teaching them to respond. no "Wan Homo or tho Talent.
