A "Monkey's Death-Bed Scene..
' Prof. Garner's chimpanzee, Elishaba.
recently fell a victim at Liverpool to the
severe weather. The scene at the death
bed was very distressing1. Poor Aaron,
the male chimpanzee, had been
most assiduous in his ' attentions
to his consort during" the . whole
of her illness. Prof. Garner was
present during the last moments,
and when he put his hand to her heart
to find if it had ceased to beat Aaron
also put his hand there, looking up in
the professor's eyes as if inquiring if
that was all they could do for her.
Aaron would not suffer Elishaba to be
taken from Mm, and clung to her body
with such tenacity that the professor
was compelled to .lay it down on its bed
of straw. The sadness depicted on
Aaron's countenance could : not have
been more clearly portrayed on the
face of any human being. Poor Aaron
was not consoled until he had placed
his hand in that of the professor, and
by signs and sounds had told him of
his distress. Both of the animals had1
become greatly attached to Prof. Gar
ner, and, apart from her value in sup
port of his theory, the loss of Elishaba
isr keenly felt ty him.

COLLECTING FOSSILS.
A "Dalles City Natural Science Associa
tion" Shonld Be Formed.
Editor Cheokicle In yesterday's is
sue of your paper you state that Prof.
Irelan, fstate geologist of California, is
coming 'to Oregon "for the purpose of
enriching the collections of his state
with the product of our . fossil beds
and that his trip will be a successful
one there can be no doubt for, al
though this region has been looked over
for. many years, the nature of the forma-,
tions here are such ' that the rains,
snows and frosts of each winter expose
new specimens to the eye of the col
lector. The Princeton college expedi
tion of '89, with which the writer was
connected as collector and guide, was
the last that has worked in this region,
and since that time there have been sev
eral winters of heavy rains and snows,
which have doubtless restored many of
those leaves, thus torn from the records
of ages long past, to be deciphered and
again' recorded by man among the arch
ives of the present. '
It is a fact to be regretted that the
greater part of all the fine specimens
discovered in Oregon have been carried
away to swell the collections of museums
in other states, most ot 'which have
museums of their own. This is all the
more deplorable when we know that the
things thus taken away can never be
duplicated, for the reason that they are
found no where else in the world.
I have been connected with this work
for many years, and there is not a fossil
locality in Eastern Oregon that has not
been explored by me. The first work
done in the John Day rivers region was
by Prof. Condon in 1870, and that was
the first work in the fossil fields of East
ern Oregon. As the localities were not
well known then, comparatively few
specimens were secured. In '71 the
Yale college expedition came put and
made a small collection, but in '72 work
was commenced in earnest, and it was
at this time that I began work for Yale
college-museum, under the direction of
Prof. O. C. Marsh,. and from then until
'78, with one or two other men, I was
kept constantly at work, each year send
ing away great quantities of beautiful
specimens to grace the Shelves of Pea
body museum at Yale college. In the
spring of '78 the Piute and Bannock In
dians got up a little expedition into the
John Day country, but it was not fossils
they were looking for. They were after
horses, cattle, and the scalps of settlers.
As two - expeditions into the same re
gions, with such divergent objects, could
not well agree, we fossil-hunters gave
the Indians the field and helped the
settlers save their property. In the
spring, of '79 I again took up the work
under the direction of Prof. E. D. Cope,
of .the Academy of Sciences, Philadel
phia, and . the next year for the
United States Geological Survey, direct
ed by Prof. Marsh, then U. S. paleontolo
gist. During all these years we procured
many tons of material of the very great
est interest to the world of science, all of
which has been taken from the state
and forever lost to it. It is true, that by i
careful and systematic work, many of
these specimens could in time be dupli
cated, but it would take many years of
labor to replace them all in a museum
of our own and perhaps very many of
them will never be found again. . Each
winter for all time to come these things
will continue to be exposed to view, but
each year will make them less plentiful.
Since there is apparently no interest
manifested in this subject by the state, a
city like Portland, Baker or The Dalles
snouia taKe ine matter in nana, lorm a
Natural Hietorv Association and start a
museum of their own. Such an institu
tion would very soon become a pride to
the state and would directly not only be
seJf-Buetaining, but a source of profit to
its shareholders. Money could be made
from the sale of duplicate specimens,
from lectures on natural history subjects
and from a small admission fee to the
museum. Such an institution should
contain specimens of fossil, minerals
and Indian relics, also mounted sped
mens of birds and animals found in this
country, together with the best speci
mens of plants, grainB, grasses, fruits,
etc., all of which can now be had for the
taking. . A vast collection could soon be
made with comparatively - little cost,
which would be worth many thousands
of dollars,- besides being a source of
great interest and pleasure. Can we
not organize "The Dalles City Natural
Science Association" and secure some of
these benefits before it is too late? -
It is true as you say, our state is being
plundered of all its best specimens, but
if our people will not reap the benefit to
be derived from them, let us remember
that since "science recognizes no state
lines" it is better to let others have
what we cannot have ourselves, than
that all these fine things should remain
where they are and be of no use to the
scientific world, but in a short time.be
destroyed by the action of the elements,
or carried away and broken up by people
who do not realize their value.
