The coalition OF the democrats and
what are known as the Shurtleff re-

an unholy alliance, has brought about
some strange conditions.
1t is even among the possibilities
that 1t may make Mr.. Shnrtlef the
senator something that would have
been imposibsity had the insurrec

Ii is estimated that Mr. .Shurtlefi
can depend on the solid support OF
the democrats. and of the members
of his own following among the re
publicans. This would make him 1
formidable factor.
The support behind Senator Hop

who expect favors. In addition there

70 EXPERIMENT WITH MoNkEYa
Washington Professor viii Probe De-
veiopment Of Brain.

Washington.--A experiment to de-
termlne the development OF the brains
OF monkeys is to be undertaken by the
scientists OF George Washington uni
yersity, The ability to note the dif'
ference between the developed and
undeveloped brain always has been a
disputed point among physicians, and
this experiment, II is hoped, will set
tie the debate.
The experiment will be undertaken
by noted scientist and Il local
physician, both members of the fac
ulty of the medical college OF the uni
versity. AT the present time II 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
a certain educational process. This
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 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
