HEREDITY IN MONKEYS.
A Scheme for Improving the Intollects
or Anthropoids by Breeding.
From the Vos6iaofon STIR


From the Washington Star.
A man Of large means who resides in
Washington has recently declared his in
tention, privately, to devote 100000 to a
very original purpose.
The idea is that no satisfactory opportun-
ity has ever been afforded for the develop
ment OF the intellect of the brute. Intelli-
gence, like bodily qualities, is susceptible of
Improvement through breeding, as every
one knows who has thought about the
evolution Of the dog from the wolf by arti-
hcial selection. This rich man proposes
monkeys or apes shall be taken as subjects
for experiment, simply because man under
STANDS those animals better than he does
others.
Let fifty of them. half males and half
females, % placed in a paddock, suitably
provided with separate quarters for the
sexes. Then have them breed, pair by pair,
as shall be directed by those who superin-
tend. Some Of them will develop certain
abilities more conspicuously than others
For example, certain individuals will ex-
hlblt superior understanding Of the COM
mauds addressed TO them OF will show a
greater dexterity in the handling Of objects.
Those which appear stupid are to be expelled
from the colony, their places being filled
by fresh recruits. When a male and a
female are found who exhibit the same sort
OF aptitude In any direction they are to be
mated. This process, carried on for
generations, would necessarily result In tho
development of superior characters until
finally, after the lapse of twenty-five years
perhaps, there would almost certainly be
had apes or monkeys far higher in the scale
OF reason than any known up to the present
time.
These putative cousins of the human race
have already exhibited "A mental and even
mechanical capacity sufficient to give
ground for great hopes of possible develop
ment in point Of intellect. Chimpanzees
have been taught to bring things to the Ia
bic, and the big Langur baboon Of India is
commonly used in that country to-day as
servant for working the punkah fans, with
which flies are kept away from dinner Ia
bles Explorer Stanley has given an account
of apes which carry torches at night.
This is believed by scientists to be. an alb
surdity, because all the anthropoid and
simian tribes are too afraid of fire to render
such thing possible. 1t is fact well known
that gorilas, while they will gather about a
deserted camp fire for the sake of warmth,
will never think of keeping the embers
alight by adding fuel. Nevertheless, every
book on natural history relates many an
instance illustrative of these creatures
thinking powers, and there is no question
that it could be greatly improved by the
process OF Judiclous breeding. Even pig
cen be taught to count up to ten.
