Type to Settle All
Doubt.

New York.-Word was received
here by New York biologists that
Prof. William e. Castle was doing
very well in his quest for a pair OF
ancestral guinea pigs amid the peaks
of Peru.
Professor Castle is from Harvard
university, and several weeks ago he
departed from this port on his search
in the interest Of science. Expert
ments are being conducted In Scher-
merhorn Hall, in Columbia university,
and also in the Station of Evolution,
at Cold Spring Harbor, to determine
variations which occur In accordance
with the laws of heredity. The rec
ords concern the guinea pig birth rate
quite intimately. 1t has been asserted
that the American breed are no longer
guinea pigs at all. That is why the
professor has gone to the mountains
of Peru to bring back consignment
of guinea pigs which are supposed to
be Of the true type. Meanwhile SCI
ence must wait
AS everybody knows. guinea pigs.
even of the ancestral type, are Guiana
pigs, and Guiana pigs are not pigs.
but are rabbits. Hence, the pigs are
not pigs and never were.
1t is long trip from the mountains
of Peru to Sandy Hook and Professor
Castle, starting with only one pair OF
guinea pigs of the ancestral type, is
likely to arrive here with so many
specimens that he will not be able to
distinguish the ancestors from pos
terity. If the steamship should be de,
layed his troubles would be increased.
