ALMOST is MISSING LINK"
Gorilla Very Closely Resembles the
Animal for Which Scientists Have
Been Vainiy Seeklnc-

The gorilla has no foe but man. No
hesh-eating animal In his territory Is
large enough TO harm him. The gorilla
Is vegetarian, SO he kills no animals
Tor food, and he has not progressed
sufficiently along the paths Of man to
enjoy killing as sport He lives In
amity with the elephants, buffalo and
ali the wild creatures In his neighbor-
mood, and In the Mikeno region Gin Az
r1ca) the natives drive their cattle In
TO the gorilla's mountains In the dry
season Of the year without molestation.
Altogether, then, as the gorilla has
no enemies. he has no need to fashion
himself bed out Of harms way. writes
Carl Il. Akeley In the Worlds Work.
All the gorilla beds saw were ON the
ground. They consisted OF q pile Of
leaves, about what the long arms OF a
gorilla could pull together without
moving. saw no signs Of their oc-
cupying these hastily constructed sleep
Ing places more than once.
The gorilla makes no abode, has no
clothes. uses no tools, unless grasping
stick may indicate the beginnings Of
dawn Of intelligence with him. Yet
scientists tell me that he has the pal
ate and muscles that enable man to
talk. In spite Of Mr.. Garner the go
rilla cannot tnlk, but no one knows how
near to 1t he is, perhaps q very long
way. or course, q parrot can be taught
TO talk. but a parrot has no brains to
speak Of. 30 that his talking Is Of NO
significance But recent studies Of the
brain of John Daniel seem to place his
Drain about on par with that OF q
two-year-old child Now. q two-year-
old child can both talk and think. II
the gorilla with his child's brain could
learn to use his voice even like a par
rot, we should have come very near to
having q contemporaneous missing
link" This, Of course, is a very I'M
likely thing to happen, and II is not
necessary, for science can make deduc-
lions from the gorilla's brain, muscle,
habits, etc. which win enable us to
understand more Of the gorilla's sig
nifcance or evolution without such q
spectacular event as his acquiring
speech. 1 mention such a thing mere
ly as an unscientific way of trying to
dramatic the Importance Of the study
OF the gorilla.
or course, 1t does not follow that
because the gorilla's palate and mus
cles are like a mans he will be able to
talk or pass out Of the barking or roar
Ing phase. The gorilla has what
might be called roaring pouches" that
extend down the side OF his neck. 1t
is an interesting fact that there Is evil
dence of these same pouches on man.
