EXPERIMENT. TO DEVELOP
BRAIN POWER OF MONKEYS

Washington. Dec s4.An expert
ment to determine the development
OF the brains OF monkeys is to be
undertaken by the scientists Of
George Washington university. There
are II monkeys now housed at the
medical college. The first step will be
to take two of the monkeys and train
them along well defined lines. They
will be taught complicated tricks and
will be put through a certain educa-
tional process. AS soon as both are
proficient one Of them will be killed
and his brain carefully examined.
The training of the other will stop
and after a period he also will be
killed. It is the belief of scientists
that an examination of his brain will
disclose that 1t has deteriorated and
that constant drilling in education
is necessary to advancement
The experiments will be continued
by pairs until all the monkeys are
dead.

fore hatch, reposes house, not a
contractors shack nor portable
house dismantled in sections, but a

dens of a Japanese country estate.
1t is the property of K. Katagani,
a wealthy resident of Vancouver,
who has made a fortune in this
country. But with the acquisition
of wealth have come old age and a

days.
With his helplessness and his de-
Ginning years came also longing

He had learned from Americans
that nothing was impossible. The
ancient domicle was transported
carefully to the sea and with ten
