discoveries about this gorilla footprint.
John Daniel was the only gorilla who
ever lived as long as four and half years
in captivity, and. in fact, no other gorilla
just now is accessible to science. 1t is
known that the gorilla is by far the most
man-like OF all the great apes, but there
has been no good opportunity to decide
just how near he is to man.
AS John Daniels face was peculiarly hui
man in appearance many scientists had
great desire TO study his death mask. The
mask was made oy Mr.. Bell in the plastic
workroom Of the American Museum.
The head of the gorilla was first threaded
that is, cotton thread was passed over
the head tightly. dividing the skull verti-
cally from front to back. Another thread
was passed round behind the ears, so that
the two threads made three sections OF
the head. The hair was next softened with
soft soap.
The entire head, neck and upper shoul-
ders were next covered with soft plaster.
When the plaster bad hardened little the
threads were pulled out, so that the plas-
ter cast came of in three sections But
for the dividing lines made by the threads
the plaster could not have been taken on
complete. The softened hairs pulled out
naturally.

cast were sufficiently hardened the inter

which showed no dividing lines. This mold
will always be available for making any

nearly circular in outline 1t should be
noted that the cross section Of the hair of
the white peoples, which may be straight
or wavy is also slightly elliptical. The
cross section of the Australian-Af African
group, with woolly or frizzled hair, is very
elliptical; and Of Asian-Amerfcan native
group, with straight hair, is cylindrical.
Daniel's hair was therefore like that of
millions of human beings.
The hair Of Daniel was long, with
woolly underground. II covered most OF
the face and some portions Of the hands

The gorilla at home has been described
as sitting at the base OF tree with the
wife and family upstairs. He is supposed
to be ready with his mighty arms to smite

In all directions, and he lifts food to his
mouth with great toe and fore toe. fearing
to leave his arms engaged for an instant

are no elopements of married gorillas with

Daniel was said to have died from pneu-
monia, although misery is given as the
prime cause.
Daniels skin varied from dark gray to
black. corresponding to the skin color and
pigmentation of the Australian-African
group of men.
The thorax OF Daniel was of great width
and depth, but relatively short, producing
a stout trunk and protruding paunch. The
big thorax of the gorilla accounts for the
tremendous noise he makes at times. and
perhaps also accounts for his love Of max
ing further big noise by drumming with
sticks or clubs on any kind Of a sounding
board or tin vessel.
The gorilla has tear duct by which u
weeps as men do. Though the gorilla in
many individuals has a larger skull than
man, il is built for fighting, and has hut
small brain with little thinking ability
The brain OF Daniel represented about
l150 OF the total weight Of the body. while
in man OF similar stature the brain
would comprise about $50 of the total
weight The area OF Daniels brain was
only une-sixth OF that OF man.
The gorilla has q more acute sense OF
hearing than man and has greater need
for 1t. He can hear what his fellows are
saying about him. a problem with which
man often has to contend. Man and gorilla
