The professor Is satisfied that the monkeys have no memory of thlngi In the sense that they are able to call up a picture, place, person or thing. There Is no question that they are able to recall having seen a person when that person stands before them. In other words, they are the equal of any of the domestlo animals In that respect. He can not even subscribe to the Darwin belief that they have imagination, such as Darwin thought dogs have because of the evidence before him that dogs dream in much the same way that human beings do. Professor Shepherd did not enter upon the experiments with a view to establishing a theory or to disprove a theory advanced by another, but simply to find out for himself the mental capacity or want of capacity of the lumenolds available for his experimental work. The professor is a monkey convinced that when scratches his head, very much as a man does when he is perplexed, it is no evidence of thought on the part of the monkey. Ills Idea Is that it Is a s purely physiological phenomenon, due to the similarity of construction of a man and a monkey. Another thing the professor feels warranted In saying Is that the monkey Is not any more Imitative than many other animals. He shows that monkeys that have had a In their cages, that revolves when they Jump on It, will continue to Jump on a contrivance of that kind that Is fastened so that it will not revolve and continue to go through the motions necessary to make a proper perform its proper functions, just as if the first trial had produced results. per-hap- merry-go-roun- merry-go-roun- d d with Kisses "Bandits" Seal Promise call what would "Tell aprlng, developing Into blood poisoning, caused the death of James C.
