70 EXPERIMENT WITH MONKEYS.
Washington Professor Will Probe De-
veIopment of Brain.

Washington.-An experiment 20 de-
termine the development of the brains
Of monkeys is to be undertaken by the
scientists Of George Washington uni
versity. The ability to note the diff
ference between the developed and
undeveloped brain always has been a
disputed point among physicians, and
this experiment, it is hoped, will set
tie the debate.
The experiment will be undertaken
by a noted scientist and a local
physician, both members of the fac
ulty of the medical college Of the uni
versity. At the present time IL mon
keys are homed at the medical col
lege. They are being fed well and
attentively cared for. The intention
is. to get them into first class physi-
cal condition and to accustom them to
their keepers and trainers.
The first step in the investigation
will be to take two of the monkeys
and train them along well defined
lines. They will be taught compli-
Gated tricks and will be put through
will be gone into carefully. AS soon
as both are proficient, one Of them
will be sacrificed on the altar Of
science and his brain carefully exam
ined.
The training of the other will stop,
and after period he also will be kill
ed. 1t is the belief of scientists that
an examination of his brain will dis
close that it has deteriorated and that
constant drilling in education is neces-
sary to advancement. There is a wide
diversity of opinion on this point,
however, and only the clinic will dis
close which side is in the right.
The experiments will be continued
by pairs until all the monkeys are
dead.

informed that he would be elected

petition would at once be circulated.

bank said Mr.. Nyquist, and every
suit or overcoat we sell will put ten
cents into the good roads fund. The
contents of the savings bank will be
deposited at a local bank every day
or two and a bulletin posted near the
little bank will show daily the amount
,of the contributions secured in this
way. And the amounts will furnish
la big surprise to many people. The
contribution will be one of the largest
in the list of good roads subscriptions
each year"
The plan will doubtless excite much
interest among all citizens who appre-
ciate the Importance of the good roads
movement and it's operation will at
