MONKEYS CATCH COLD EASILY
Or. Chalmers Mitchell Of London Says
Animals Are Quite Susceptible
to Human Ailments.

Kansas City, Mo.-Monkeys are just
as susceptible to colds and tuberculo-
sis as human beings. and often catch
colds from the people who come 10
watch their antics. according to Dr.
Chalmers Mitchell secretary Of the
Geological society of London, who
passed through the union station OF
Kansas City on his way to the Philip
pine islands.
Cold weather is bad for animals,
and for monkeys. who are nearest TO
man species, especially" said Dr..
Mitchell. During the recent cold spell
in London-the worst April for IA
years-there was no serious mortality
among the animals, but | expect they
will feel the results of the severe
weather later on. Their constitutions
will have been weakened, and there
may be many deaths.
Damp, not cold, Is the monkeys
enemy. Consumption is their disease
in captivity, largely because they are
living in community, and one tubercu-
losis monkey may infect the others.
Monkeys, being nearly allied to man,
catch mans diseases.
q wouldn't say that a lion couldn't
catch a cold from a man, but | should
say it would be unlikely. A monkey,
on the other hand, would be easily in
fected, as would crocodiles if they
were exposed properly"

I lets, broken pieces of which had been
coming out of Cappadocla for several
years, and by a chain Of Indications
some of them obtained on the spot by
Chantre in 1890, had been traced to
BoEhaz-Keui. The well-known orien'
talist, Hugo Winckler, began the sys'
tematic search in 1906, and lighted at
once on tablets. In 1907 he got more,
most of them from the ruins of the
great building referred to above,
which proved to have been palace
or rather, two palaces of different
dates, one being built partly over the
other. In a word, he found remains
Of royal archives, written in cunei-
form script, but partly in the Baby
lonian language, partly In a tongue
unknown. The first kind was readily
deciphered; the other is yielding its
secrets only to slow and painful labor.
But already we have learned enough
to convince the most hardened scep-
tic that history had forgotten a
great deal. This is, however. to do his

entirely forgotten the kings Of Bog
haz-Keui. but we could not under
stand her records: Egyptian inscrip-
tions of the eighteenth and nineteenth
dynasties mention four kings of the
Khita under circumstances which i'm
ply that theirs was no mean power;
but the texts give no indication that
those kings ruled elsewhere than in
Syria, where the Pharaohs and their
officers came into contact with them.
All these four names have now been
found in the Boghaz-Keui archives, to-
gether with other names of the same
dynasty, and we see that It was in
Cappadocia that these kings were at
home.
From the tablets already read, the
growth of this empire towards the
south and east can be followed and
from the distribution Of monuments of
Hittite class its growth westward as
far as the Aegean sea may be reason
ably be inferred. The first expansion
of the Haiti folk beyond the bounds
of Cappadocia seems to have been
as early as about 1900 B. c., when
they raided down to Babylon and up
set what is called its first dynasty;
but their careers of organized con-
quest was not to begin for nearly
three centuries, till King Subbilulu,
whom the Egyptians called Sapararu,
came to the throne. When he died, in
the time of Amenophis w. Of Egypt,
he was over-lord Of West Asia, from
the Black sea to Oronotes and from
the Tigris to the Aegean. From cor
respondence with the kings Of Egypt,
of the Mesopotamian Mitanni, and of
Babylon, which has now come to
light, the stages of his conquest can
be traced-raids on the Mitanni ter
ritory; raids into northern Syria; war
with the Mitanni; full establishment
of Haiti domination over north Syria
and north Mesopotamia; recognition
of the Haiti king as suzerain by the
Amurri or nomads Of the Syrian and
Mesopotamian wastes. Kings of Egypt
and Babylon acknowledged him as
their equal, but as yet there was no
war with the elder empires That did
not come till the time of Mutallu and
II. The Haiti king had ad-
vanced south into the Aramaen coun-
try, on the upper Orontes, and estab-

Los Angeles, the creature of his un
firing labor. The Southwest museum
for which material has been in
course of accumulation for a mum

of the greatest attractions in south

up Of relics of prehistoric civiliza-

new fields of exploration and at the
prospect Of the acquisition of relies

Tie was accompanied by his H.
year-old son QUINN, who in coming
years is expected to make his mark
in the scientific world through his
explorations. Lummis is also one of
the board Of managers Of the Amer
lean School of Archaeology, which
holds annual meetings in different
fields Of research, and Quimu, since
a mere baby, has been his INSOFAR
able companion at these gatherings.
The boy is a great pal with the In

pass his skill and daring in scaling
ticBlish cliffs. The gathering is this
year being held at Quirigua,
Quirigua is in northwest Guate-
mala, where much of the country is
owned by the United Fruit company,
sometimes spoken of as the banana
trust, and through his company the
archaeological association has Sc
cured concessions on the ruins Of the
most marvellous of ancient cities Of
Central America. Under the direc-

the common adoption OF a certain cul
ture, we do not yet know. Il Is very
late in HAITI history, and long after
its great period, that Hittltes appear
in the Bible story, with one exception;
and when found in Palestine they
seem to be aliens in the land, OF

stock. The presence Of children OF

may have been due to such a survival
and so, too, may that of the hapless

made to Joshua and the Israelites, OF
/ "all the land of the Hittites" (even II
a gloss of late date), and the Hittite
mother whom Ezekiel imputes to the
city of Jerusalem, seem to reflect a
current tradition OF past Hittite dom
ination in South Syria; but when the
army broke up before Samaria be-
cause a word went forth that the
Kings Of the Hittites" were coming,
It feared a power lying far to the
north, which had once been greater,
though it knew 1t not
The world of scholars has disputed
about the Hittites ever since the mid
die of the last century, when the de.
cipherment of hieroglyphic and cune-
form records revealed the fact that a
people Of their name had filled place
in west Asian history far more impor-
tant than the Israelites were aware.
1t has disputed especially their re-
sponsibility for the monuments, in a
quaint individual style Of art, and in
scribed in some cases with undeci-
phered Photographs, which have been
discovered during the last forty years
all over North Syria and great part
of Asia Minor; and it has questioned
most acrimoniously the ascriptioR OF
the Asia Minor monuments to them
which Sayce first proposed after com
pairing with the Syrian stones from
Klamath the magnificent rock-relief at
Ivriz, the rock figures near Smyrna,
which HerOdotus thought to be repre-
sentations of conquering "Sesostris,"
and the far more numerous sculptures
in North Cappadocia, at the ruined
cities known as Boghaz-Keui and
Eyuk. Close resemblance was admit
ted, but the natural corollary, that, at
some time, there had been a Hittite
Empire" (in the loose oriental sense)
was secuted. How should history
have forgotten such a fact?
Yet it had forgotten 1t; for a Hit
tite or Haiti empire did exist once,
with its center, not in Syria, but in
far Cappadocia, towards the Black
sea. We know the fact now on the
best of evidence, and those doubtings
Of the learned are heard no more at
