A series OF careful experiments with
monkeys has recently been conducted
by Professor Edward l.. Thorndike to
ascertain the power and process by
which these animals acquire knowl-
edge. He has reached the conclusion
that there is no warrant for the pop
ular idea that monkeys and other ami
mals learn from human example and
by the processes followed by man. But,
the experimenter says, the fact that
monkeys do not possess the human
types of ideas must not be taken as
evidence that they are no nearer rela-
tives to us mentally than are the other
lower animals. On the contrary. they
occupy an intermediate position Ia
every main psychological feature be-
tween mammals in general and the hu-
man species. The essentials in an in
ventory Of an animals mental capaci-
ties are its sense powers. the kinds OF
movements it can make and their deli
cacy, complexity and number. it's in
stincts or the sum of those tendencies
to feel and act which it has apart from
experience or learning and its method
OF learning or of modifying it's be-
havior to suit the multitudinous cir
cumstances of life. In each Of these
respects the monkeys show kinship
with man. In their motor equipment
monkeys possess first of all the muscu-
lar combinations necessary to sustain
an upright position and consequently
the use Of the forelimbs. The move
ments Of these forelimbs are more in
number and suited to more complex
and varied tasks than are those Of
lower animals. The attractiveness Of
the monkey cage in geological gar
den is largely due to the similarity OF
the monkeys movements and our own
The monkey not only has a body like
a mans, but he also uses 1t like a man.
Our native tendencies are so metamor-
phosed by the education of a civilized
environment that in adult age they
seldom appear in recognizable form.

6 months to years of age or later we

although monkeys do not reach the
human stage of rich life of ideas, yet
they carry the animal method of learn
ing by the selection of impulses and as
sociatiOn of them with the different
sense impressions, to a point beyond
that reached by any other Of the lower
animals. In this, too, they resemble
man, for he differs from the lower an

new sort of intelligence, but also in
the tremendous extension of that sort

Making {
GlObe...

First, the model is covered with a
thick layer of pasteboard in a moist
state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is
passed around it so as to separate the
pasteboard coat into two hemispher-
ieal shells, which are then taken off
the model and united at the cut edges
with glue. The hollow sphere Mus
formed is the skeleton OF the globe
that is to be.
The next thing is to cover 1t with a
coating of white enamel, about one
eighth of an inch in thickness. When
this is done the ball is turned into a
perfect roundness by a machine The
iron rod running through the center
of the original model, and projecting
at both ends through the surface, has
left holes in the new globe which
serve for the north and south poles,
and through these metal axis is run

LIGHTS ON IN THUNDER STORM
Unique Trolley Car order IN Force in

LIGHTS ON IN THUNDER STORM.
Unique Trolley Car Order in Force In
Kansas city.
During a thunder storm at any time
OF day the lights in the trolley cars
OF the Metropolitan system are always
turned on by order Of the company,
says the Kansas City Star There are
two reasons for it, One is for the
protection Of the car and the other
for the protection of tie passengers.
When the lights are on and the car Is
at a standstlll the trolley pole becomes
a lightning rod. When car is in mo-
tion the electric current which leaves
the power house and is carried along
on the trolley wire, passes through
a wire I'm the trolley pole, into the
motors of the car, setting them in mo-
tlOn, and then down through the
wheels into the rails, 10y which the
current returns to the power house.
Thus the trolley wire the car and the
rails form a complete circuit. When
the car is at a standstill the connec-
tion between the trolley and the motor
is cut off, breaking the circuit How
ever turning on the lights has the
same effect as putting the ear in mo-
ton: that is. it complet the circuit.
That is the exact reason why the
lights are on during thunder storm.
Should lightning strike n trolley
wire the fiocd Of current would he
carried with rush to the nearest
car. If this car should he in motion
CT the lights Ec turned on so that
the circuit with the rails was COM
plete there would he n chance that
the extra current of the lightning's
stroke would pass down the trolley
pole and through the car into the rails
without doing any harm. The prin-
ciple is the same as that Of lightning
rod. which carries the electricity of a
bolt of lightning into the ground. But
when there Is no connection the cur
rent Of a holt of lightning would burn
out the motors OF the car and If
strong enough would shatter the car
and iniurp the persons who Nigh
be riding in it.
The Metropolitan Company has had
the rule for turning on the lights in
trolley cars during a storm i'm eject
for long time, and it is believed that
nv this simple fact many serious ac-
'cidents have been prevented.
