With a generous diet and a big
cage provided, both classes of rats
lived out their lives under comfort
able conditions. In no case was life
shortened by worry or anxiety as to
where the next meal was to come
from, as frequently happens in the
rat underworld.
The number OF revolutions Of each

that when rats receive a generous
supply OF meat with their food they

The California professor advances
strong arguments to prove that the
meat-eating man would show Just
the same superiority as the meat
eating rats. He believes that facts
concerning man, as far as they are
obtainable. point TO this conclusion.
His experiments on rats, however.
have a completeness and conclusive
ness which no experiments on men
and women are likely to have.
Few more Touchdown blows than
these experiments to the claims Of
vegetarian enthusiasts have ever
been delivered.

rats revolving cage and around a
drum supplying power to the ele-
vator, the total amount OF work done
by the prize meat-eating female rat
would have run the elevator up and
down the forty-four floors over ten
times.
To state the case more simply, you
may say that the rat would have car

forty-fourth floor instead Of six pas
sengers ten times.

BY the calculations already given.
the vegetarian would only have been
able to raise an elevator carrying
six passengers once to the forty
fourth floor in place of the sixty
carried by the meat-eating rattan
exertlon OF 10000 foot-pounds.
The figures given represent the
best performance of the best female
rat, but the general superiority OF the
meat-eating rats TO the yegetarians
was on the scale mat these figures
indicate. The superiority OF the fe-
males In meat-eating and vegetarian
rats was marked. The final con
clusions would remain unchanged II
meat-eating males were compared
with the vegetarian. males, instead
Of meat-eating females with vege-
tartan females.
The rats exhibited extraordinary
activity, which Is generally known
10 be a characteristics OF their spe-
cies. The female rats were remark
ably superior to the males in actiy-
ity. One of the females ran four
teen miles in one sleepless night
1t has long been established that
bodily activity In animals Is In a
general way proportioned to intelli-
gence. This was laid down as a
genera. principle in Herbert Spen-
GERS Principles Of Psychology" and
has constantly been confirmed since.
1t is therefore confidently believed
that the superior activity OF the
meat-eating to the vegetarian rats
and Of the females to the males
would have been found TO correspond
closely to superiority Of intelligence.

AT the end Of ffty-six days W
from birth the young rats ~
were still eating the same
diet. consisting largely OF
bread and milk and occa-
sional baked beans and meat
hash. In weight the males -
averaged FOL grams (21-3 81
ounces) and the females sos
grams q ounces).
The difference In the character Of
the food was introduced at this time.
One group was set aside to be ex.
clusively vegetarians. while the
others became meat eaters. although
they received vegetable food In add.
tlon In order to make the diet as
varied and attractive as possible.
The vegetable foods given we're as
rich In protein as II was possible to
obtain from this class Of foods, and
consisted Of fresh vegetables. such as
lettuce. knle. cabbage. caulitiower,
clover and celery; cooked vegetables,
such as wheat, corn. brown and era
ham bread. biscuits. buckwheat cakes,
doughnuts. crackers. cookies, oatmeal
mush. fried cornmeal mush, dump
iinss, corn. rice. baked beans, pota-
toes, carrots and onions: nuts. fruits
and grains such as almonds. English
walnuts; apples, cracked corn, wheat
and cornmeal. Occasionally, when the
vegetarians seemed to be losing
ground too fast a feed Of cheese,
milk. or some other animal food was
given. This was done only q few
times soon after the vegetarians
were FIRST put on their exclusive
diet.
The amount OF food given to each
rat was not weighed, but was meas
used as accurately as possible with
a spoon, or BY pieces Of equal size.
The amount Of meat given to the
meat-eating rats was usually small.
consisting Of but a small fraction Of
an ounce. II was given on an aver
age two or three times each week.
Professor Slonaker had thus six.
teen rats as nearly alike in regard 10
age. parentage. sire and tendencies
as II Is possible to obtain. subjected
to the same environments, and fed
with the same food except that the
meateating feeders had a few
ounces of animal food added to their
diet about three times each week.
1t is obvious, therefore, that what.
ever differences may be found be-
tween these two groups Of rats In
regard 70 their activity, rate OF
growth. and longevity, must be due
wholly TO the presence and absence
OF animal food In the two diets.
Professor Slonaker's ingenious ap-
paratus for studying thesbehavior Of
his rat subjects consisted Of three
parts. q revolving cage. nest box
with water and feed boxes attached,
and recording mechanism.
The cages were cylindrical in shape
and were composed entirely OF fine
wire netting. They swung on long
steel axle In a ron.
An inclined tunnel led from the
nest box n such way that the rat,
whenever leaving its bed for food
was compelled to jump upoD .is |.
