TNVKSTK.ATOltS who have (.,1(5ht te 1 prove the mental Inferleuty of monkeys have suhl that it i impossible ter the monkey te put two and te tegetbei. As proof they hae cited their cffeitH te teach sueh an am mill hew te open the deer of his cage. The latch haH breu lifted time after time In tlie presence of the monkey without producing any mental reaction in the animal's brain He never made any attempt te repeat tlie motions which he had seen. There is nbundnnt evidence, however, that these investigators are mistnken. Visitors te the Philadelphia Zoe hove seen the monkeys there pick up a stick te use in reaching outside of their cages te get a peanut that has been thrown te them. They used the same kind of intelligence thnt n boy would display In the same clrcumstnnccs. Dr. l'urness. of Wnllingferd, demonstrated te his satisfaction net that a monkey could lull;, but that it could be taught -te de many things that required the exercise of peme degiee of intelligence. And new comes (he news from the Urenx Zoe that an erang-utan in captivity there has been tearing the bar from his trapeze and using it ns a lever te attempt te pry himself out of his cage. Then would be nothing strange in his tearing the bar loose from the chains en which it was suspended nor in bis attempting te tear the slats out nl his cage vviih bin hand.

The Conference en the Limitation of Ar mament will held its second session today nt the same place but net tinder the same clrcumstnnccs. The world has mnxed forward a long stride since Saturday morning. Te the plenipotentiaries of the nine par ticipating nntlens the outlook was meie or less indefinite, undecided and misty before that first session. Washington correspondents of newspapers tn I'ekln, Tokie. Londen, Paris and Heme had informed the world t lint the I'nited States lieverument. which called the Con ference, had tin definite plan te effei for (onslderntlen. It would he the dutv of l tie Conference Itself te Suggest n plan. In ethei words, II was te lie the old, old story eer again. There would be platitudinous expiessiens of hope and a unanimity of sentiment thnt something ought te be done te curb the ingc for armaments. This would be followed by long-drawn-out debates, conferences nnd opinions from ex perts. The Mini of It all would be a let of In definite conclusions indifferently arrived at. In the Inelegant but oxpressho argot of the pine it was te be a sublimnted ense of international "bunk" ; a glorified example nf "passing the buck" anions the nntlens. RUiHT en the heels of these predictions came the diplomatic -ensatien of the century of several (cnturies. if I'm net mltnken. Twenty years age Secretory Hughes' out spoken weids would have been denounced in the politely deceptive council chambers of Ktirnpcnn courts as disgustingly crude nnd undignified. An aggravating sample of America's so se called "shirt -sleeve diplemncy." Today Secretary Hughes' suggested basis for the limitation of armament is bernlded as a master stroke of direct action, even though it does contemplate scrapping bat tleships by the de.cn. There nre two reasons for this; First, because he is se amazingly undiplomatic in tliiewing precedent te the wind, and, sec nud, becnuse of his taking tlie whole world into his confidence. As president of the Conference, as well as Secretary of Stale, he told the princes, premiers and pb nipoteiilittrios. of lesser sorts what they were there for. In the next broil li he mapped out a defi nite scheme hew te de it. Instead of beating a light tattoo with a two-ounce tack hammer, he swung a twenty pound sledge. ITF.B the doe of the Civil War. when -A. C ss wa seesawing en the re sumptien of specie payments. 11 certain statesman butted into the argument with the historic declaration that "the way te resume is te resume." Fifty years later Secietnry Charles Tv-ans Hughe, in an equally direct but mere pol pel sied ami convincing way. said, "The way tn limit aruinineuts is te limit them." Then ami there he laid ills cards face up and fan-shaped en tlie green baize Confer ence table. There was no hesitnlien. He invited the wm Id te step up and take a leek. And the world looked. It's looking yet, I might almost rudely suggest, and with mouth ngnpe. Nothing like il hud ever been known. The Secretary smashed all pievieus diplo matic records. lie informed the assembled dignitaries that tlie Pieldenl nnd the people of the t'nlted Stntes were behind liiui : that tin Cov eminent was ready te .-tart -crappini; dreadnoughts and canceling further 11 nan luent contract for ten years te come. The pieple of the I lilted States knew wlint they wanted and were ready te take the mes diieet way te get it. TT W'OI -L war-w W'Ol'LI) have done the soul of everv geed te have seen the members of the 11101 dignified deliberative body in the world, the Senate of tlie I'nited States, respond te Sec retary Hughes' declaration. They rose te their feet te n man. They net only applauded with their hands, but thev cheered. It was like the bleacliers ic ic spemling te a "Babe" Hutli run-around.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclphians en Subjects They Knew Best HAROLD DONALDSON EBERLEIN On Value of Study of Antiques TI1K study of antiques has a real value, entiiely npnrt from the monetary side, net only te the individual but te the lummunity, according te Hareld Donaldsen Kberlein, one of the country's leading authorities en the subject nnd the author of several works relating te It. "Frem a purely decorative point of view," said Mr. I'berleiit. "11 geed reproduction nud mind you. I -ay 'geed' is quite as val uable ns a real antique. The greater ele ment of value which the original has is thnt an authentic antique i thoroughly represen tative of the style of the time in which it was made, which, of course, a copy, no matter hew carefully made, cannot lie. "The trouble is that ery few reproduc tions nie geed copies of tlie eriginnl. Most, of them nre only approximate adaptations and generally very lnme adaptations at that. But. if llie copy be accurately reproduced. tlie decorative value would be the same as the original. Workers Won't Take Time ' "If the expert workmen of tlie pic-ent dnv would take tlie time nnd the trouble te de se, they could make leproductlens which il would be difficult te tell from the original-. Naturally there are certain tilings about an original which cannot be exactly I i-preduccd without the expenditure of much time. There is a certain mellowness in colei, for example, which cannot lie accu rately copied without great time and pains being taken. And when it i- taken the result Is that the cel of the lepioductien is vety high. "The copying of antiques has become i Inrge business in several countries. Tliete niu really wendertiil copies made in Italy and in Frame, excellent ones in F.ngland and hOinu very adroit ones in the United Slates. "The busine-s of icpioduetien of great mnslei pieces of the past, which should lie II legitimate one. lias been cariicd en se frequently with a tiaudulent intent thai is, tin- copy Is sold as an original that the en tire trade has become thoroughly discredited. On the ether hand, the poisons who copy antiques without the intent te defraud nud sell their work frankly as lepies are gen erally se Ia in their workmanship t lint their pieduci is net of grout value for decorative puipe-es. bei iiuse ll does net closely enough uppioxiuiute the bentit) of llie original. .Subtleness Is Disregarded "Thev loe frequently disregard tlie subtle pmpertiuii, the melding and the curves of the original, and they are tee easily satis fied with a banal approximation of the peal article. Therefore thou- work has an up penrnucc of being bard and tight, with a generally 'smugged-up' appearance ami 0 eotiheqiionl In- of the Hues and the colors of the ical article "All this makes the decorative value of the iepv of far less- value than it might have been and usually 11 thing of which the put (baser may well beware. An expcit can tell at 11 glance thnt the aveiage loprediiclion is net the ical thing, beuuise of ceiliiln fla giant imiceutucies m piopeition, line detail ami 1 0I01 . "And ycl it mil be dune wilh almost nbselulc perfection, and when it Is done in this way ill ipy for decorative purpe-es Is jtisi as geed us the original, but, of coins,., net ler study or icscarcli. 1 leiueinber seeing a 1 epy of n little old Spanish cabinet, which had been re prod need se accurately that ll was almost inqies-ibh- 10 tell the reprediictlnn from the original. But the nuieuiit of time nud expert workmanship spent upon a copy of this kind se tremen dously enhances the value of it. Hint, as in this case, the cost of the copy was as gn-al as that of the original. Perfect Copy Valuable 'In llieeiy the perfect lepy is as valuable as the original, but for piaciical purpose. the (epy usually falls far short of the mark because nothing can detrai t treni the value of the original as an authentic record of the times in which it was made. "The student and the cel lei ter should guard against 11 tee ready acceptance of even geed copies as eilginals. Seme uic icadllv detectable and ethers ale net. In certain lines of iron work, for instance. I would net attempt te expiess an opinion as te nutheulliily. and the same held true m seveial kinds of glass, poieclaiu and l-x tiles. "The extent te which the rciirodiictlen of antiques has gtnwn rriay be shown by the T Just sense fact that n former Censul in Florence. Italy, told me that before the war there weie no fewer than 10,000 men In that city alone engaged in the manufacture of 'antiques,' some of wliieh were sold as. originals and ether disposed of us copies. Seme of the work was fine und some of It was obviously spurious. Value of Heal Antiques "The real value et antiques lies in thai they show te the last detail and in the highest degree possible the craftsmanship and the thought of the time in which they were produced. And both thought and craftsmanship were immensely superior te that wilh which the world was afflicted during the Victorian nge and from which period of commercialism and banality wc nib just new emerging. "The world et art cannot afford te dis regaid the manifold lessens which the fine nntiqiies tench. We must stimulate our powers of obervntien if we want te learn their ecrets--niid they are secrets which would hove been of immense value te the world in any age. "One must constantly guard against llie foolish notion which vc new hear se fre quently expressed that originality is the main thing ami mu-i be nchicyed nt nnv cost. The truest erlglnulity, in all lines (if art, at least, has always been engendered bv a thorough knowledge of precedent and what lias been done by the previous genera tions. The persons who start te achieve originality without this knowledge usually produce nothing but monstrosities:. "Thnt artist and I nm speaking new of nil in its bread sense, embracing all the forms who would ntlaln te the best nnd highest originality must knew precedent and knew it thoroughly, and deviate from it only when there is nn obvious reason for se doing Herein lies the nlue nt the antique. He should net indulge In change for change's sake alene: he should be free te depart from piecedent when there Is a valid reason for it. otherwise he will de well te fellow it i'his course will lead te the besl originality!
