Pined For Dead Nate

'One OF the most recent suicides was
monkey named Chang. Chang was
the oldest monkey with the show. and
had been with the Earnum & Bailey
show for considerably over twenty
years. Most OF that time he had been
associated with Ienuse, monkey al-
most as old who vas noted Ia the
menagerie AZ being the mother OF a
large number OF bright and healthy
monkey babies. Early in March. white
the paraphernslta OF the show WAS
being moved from winter quarters 10
Madison Square Garden. New York.
Jennie was frozen TO death.
For a day or two Chang G:d not
seem To realize that his mate had gone
from him forever. and there WAS no
evidence OF fretting. AS the DAYS went
by, however. and Jennie did not re-
turn, Chang became visibIy depressed.

child. gave vent 20 the most pitifu.

tween the bars Of his cage and hung

literally covered with self-infcted
wounds. To help him was impossible:
TO release him was too dangerous;
the only solution was 10 kill him and
relieve him from his mental sufferlngs.
This was done by straugulation- A
chain was wound around his neck and
tae two ends fastened TO winches.
When all was ready. the chains were
drawn tight and the breath literally
squeezed out Of the poor animals
body 1t was the Only thing we could
do For DAYS mandarin had not eaten
anything. and II was only a question
OF few DAYS at most before he would
have killed himself or starved 10
death. Tho only reasonable cause for
Mandarin's persistent attempts at self
destruction that I coul6 discover was
a fear OF the ~ater which was accen-
tuated by the movement OF the ship.
and seasickness.
1T Is a fact not generally known.
except among the Barnum & Bailey
animal men. that Jumbo. which was
brought over TO this country from tho
Regent Park Geological Gardens in
London. suffered terribly from home
sickness and made several almost sue
ccssful efforts 70 commit suicide. on
one occasion. while the elephant herd
va being treated TO bath on the
lake front IN Chicago. IL WAS only
with the assistance OF several Of the
either big elephants that Jumbo was
prevented from drowning himself. CO.
lumbia. the daughter OF Mandarin. has
also. on several occasions, attempted
20 make away with herself. and more
than once only the chains with which
she was fastened have prevented her
from venting her fatal spite upon her
self.
The Washington times., 1906-05-13

r. OR a good many years past there
- has been a singular scarcity OF
really great men. which is all
the more remarkable because We
have never before had so many men Of
a high order OF ability
What is the reason Of this scarcity ,
II the common belief is correct that the
birth of a great man is an accident we
have simple explanation.
But philosophers prove that there are
no accideuts Everything that happens
has definite cause: that cause is the
consequence OF anteCecent events. so
that the genius of a Shakespeare or a
Napoleon is no more an accident than
frost in winter.
Francis Galton. II. Ellis. and others
have examined this question of the p-o-
duction OF genius from various stand
points and. If they have not furnished
us with a recipe for the making of great
men. they have shown that one of the
most important factors is a mixture OF
blood
So important. indeed. is this factor
that il almost seems as if We could pro
duce Shakespeares and NapoIeons by a
PROCESS of cross s-breeding
The analysis of the blood In the veins
The Washington times., 1906-05-13

Il appears that a MIXTURE OF strains Is
essential 10 the making of a poet and of
all imaginative writers Austin DObSJn' 3
mother was a DeVonshire woman, and
his father was born I'm France OF a
French mother. Coventry Patmore' s
father was English. his mother Scotch.
and a great-great-gr grandfather come
from Prussia
Irish blood also forms a good mixture
with English blood Thomas Hardy's 5
great grandmother vas Irish and one
OF his grandparents came from Berk-
shire This slight addition TO what is
mainly pure DOrsetshire blood has pro-
duced one Of our greatest living novel
lists.
There IS another side 20 the question
Mixture gives Us poets. novelists. paint
eTS and probably good fighting men
But Mr.. Galton thinks that pure blood
tells in science. Out Of every ter dis
tinguished English scientists five are OF
pure English stock and only one has
foreign blood
Probably the same is true OF politi-
clans. But il is not always possible 10
Say that man is Of one race only. Mr.
Gladstone believed himself to be pure
Scotch. Now YOU must know" he said
that I am a Scotchman-pure SCrtch.
In fact. no blood can he purer han
ours, which never mixed with extran-
eous blood except in the sevente enth
century.
