APES ARE GUARDED
CLOSE WATCH ON SUBJECTS FOR
STUDY IN PSYCHOLOGY.
Experiment on Twenty Monkeys at the
George Washington University Ia
Expected to Result in In
teresting Disclosures.

MISUNDERSTANDING that the re
search work to be conducted by the de-
partment Of psychology on the brains
of 20 monkeys will produce some new
and startling results, the authorities of
George Washington university have
placed the janitor, who has charge of
them, under heavy bond to see that
no one visits the room where they are
kept
This is done, in the first place, to in
sure the safety of the animals In the
second place, 1t is pointed out, the
workings of the brains of the monkeys
are to be observed under given set
of conditions, and should any person
not connected with the Investigations
being made enter the room it might
suddenly terminate the environment
which it would require days to re-
establish.
Just what the janitor is feeding his
charges, and what makes up their daily
routine of life, he refuses to divluge. It
Is known, however, that peanuts and
bananas do not form a part of the
menu, and that the things which would
ordinarily constitute a monkeys din
ner are lacking. The apes may not
have so much as cross-bar or trapeze
to take their exercise on, but are be.
ing taught the more manly art of
walking.
Since vivisection is not to be en-
ployed by the department of psycholo-
gy in conducting its investigations, the
question has been asked why some
other animal. rather than the monkey,
was not selected for the purpose of Sc
curing the brain data that are desired.
This question was answered by one
of the professors Of the university.
LAS far as the methods of our in
vestigations co. he said. "a mans
brain could be used as well, except
that the minds of men have become
more or less mechanical in their work
ings as the result of their being part
of highly developed social system.
This complex condition does not exist
In monkeys. Here the brain is natural,
and responds to instinct and tradition,
30 that it is much easier to reduce the
workings of the mind"

Not sign of help was in sight.
Quickly the agent turned over in his

escape was slowly fading
Mckee had reached his left hand
over his prisoners shoulder to disarm
Terrill. who moved Slightly away from
him, drawing in his feet as he did so.
One chance had come to him. He
knew that If he failed death was GER

risk in order to retrieve the slip he had
in his possession to gambling crony,
and so to keep clean his record for
I trustiness, Of which he was so proud.
This last desperate resource was an
old wrestler's trick-one with which he
had conquered others In the rough
games Of the corral
Again Terrill moved to the right and
farther under Mckee, who had to ex.
tend his arm and body far beyond IN
upright position. Holding his revolver
against Terrill handicapped the hall
breed in his movements.
With quick turn Terrill grasped
McKees left arm, jerking it dowr

There was a muffled report.

found dead in the railway tunnel at
Saint German yesterday. The cause
and circumstances of his death are
yet unknown.

meath the wheels. The body was found
