Prot. Markle on Monkeys.

The discussion of the theory of OAR
win as to the probability that the hu.
man race had it's origin in the monkey
family has been a favored one with
latter-day scientists. The study OF
these interesting little fellows affords
food for reflection. The monkey in
captivity develops traits and habits so
human as to almost convert one to the
theory of DR.. Darwin. Mr.. D. G. Mar
kle, the famous trainer of the Fioto
shows, in an interview recently pub
lished by an eastern magazine, reviews
at length the monkey and his habits
Mr. Markle is authority for the state
ment that barring his lack of speech
the monkey can be taught almost any
thing his human brother can accomp>
lish. He has devoted years to the care
full study of his interesting pets. and
the press of two continents have de-
voted columns to the colony of Sim
ians which, under his master hand, has
delighted thousands annually.
