In the near future Mr.. Ganger will

usual procedure. learned to get his food
from a box, the lid of which fastened
with a key. The key. however, could
not be withdrawn from the lock. After
the monkey had become familiar with
.the device. and could operate 1t as
readily as a man could do, the expert
menter took the key out of the lock
and laid it on the floor in front of the
box. The monkey picked up the key.
played with 1t, but made no attempt to
use It. Then the experlmenter took up
the key, and, fifty times in succession,
with the monkey two feet away watch
ing every motion, he unlocked the box.
The monkey would nave starved before
he initiated that simple act. He had
learned to open the box by making GER
tain movements: he had no idea of the
key as an instrument In the process,
