Angry Apes Outclass Athletes in Series of Rope-Pulling Tests to Determine Relative Strength
(Science Service)
Alcott县, Paid, Feb. 23. — A chimpearze is more than four times as strong as a man of the same weight, according to the results of experiments made by Prof. John E. Bauman of Mubkenburg College. Professor Bauman induced several of the big apes in zoos in various parts of the country to pull a rope attached to a strength-measuring apparatus, and then had a rat walk across it while he trained at College, South Dalton, try their strength on the same instrument.
It was no 'easy task', Professor Boatman states, to induce the "chimpins" to make the pull. The best method was to hold him upside down in disposition, who would haul at the rope in a fit ofrage. Good-natured monkeys would merely play with it. Suzie, an impa at the New York zoopark, took care of the 1909 and 1905 pounds respectively. Bona, the largest chimanzee in captivity, and a male, made a one-handed pull of 847 pounds. Johann, a female chimpanzee, got into an almost impossible awkward position for her one-handed pull, yet registered 378 pounds, which is better than the average man can do on his hands under the best of conditions.
The seven football players tested by Professor Baumann were all husky farm hads, most of them of Viking
New Eldridge Hotel Nearing Completion; Cost to Be $250,000
Furniture and Carpets in Place
in Five-Story Structure,
Owner Says
Goals will be admitted to the new Ebridge, $250,000 five-story hotel within two weeks if no further delays in construction are reported according to the property's permit.
Former plans called for completion of the new hotel by Nov. 30 of last year, in order to accommodate Missouri students on the night following the memorable Tiger-Jay-hawk fray. That was more speculation, according to the management, and manners delays made it impossible.
Slowness in construction has been enforced mainly by delay in shipments of construction material. Marble for the roof is many months ago, but not yet arrived.
Furniture and draperies have been installed in the new building, and the upper floors have been completed. When the marble arrives, work on the baby will start immediately. Work on the structure was started May 15, 1925.
Dr. C. P. Berkey to Talk
Lecture on Asiatic Expedition to Be Given
An account of the finding of eggs of the dinosaur, giraffe reptile now extinct, will feature the lecture on the third Rory Chapman Andrew Asiens expedition which was supported by the Museum of Natural History and Asia Magazine. This address will be delivered here at the University of the department of geology at Columbia University. Dinosaurs were among the most gigantic animals that ever paced the globe, some of them attaining the length of 30 feet and the height of 12 feet. A thigh-bone of a dinosaur is mounted on the third floor of Dyche museum. The weight of the animal was about 75 pounds, and the estimated weight of the animal when alive was 90 tons.
The Roy Chapman Andrews expedition was an important exploration trip. Explorations of the Gobi desert were made in an effort to find information of scientific interest and especially to find traces of prehistoric man.
Automobiles were employed by the expedition to go westward from Pecking, China, to the caravan of camels abced and arranged a rendezvous with it in the desert. It came within a half mile of the camels at the
Rough paths, full of ridges, and an unfavorable climate indered the expedition in its explorations. High winds and extremely cold weather alternating with unbearable hot weather made work difficult.
The expedition followed a well-behavent trail in its trip in Asia. Bones of animals from the Mongolian steppe mash in the Gobi desert.

ancestry, yet their best efforts fell far short of those of the eyes. One-handed pulls did not in any case reach more than 210 pounds, and the beat of the two-handed pulls fell a little short of 500.
These figures Professor Bauman reduced to a weight-for-weight basis, and he discovered that the gentleman who lost the weight could be four and three-quarters as strong as South Dakota's finest, while Boma's strength outranked the human athletes' by between three and four-fifths. And Professor Bauman discovered also that the male ape was one and one-quarter times as strong, weight-for-weight, as the female, and had an absolute superiority of over one
Although man is greatly inferior to the apes in muscular power he appears to hold his own very well as compared with other animals. Professor Bauman states, "Taking a comparative study of the muscular allowances for difference in stature and amount of cross section of muscle in proportion to body weight man compares favorably with many, probably with most other animals. We rank considerably above the hoofed animals, and the muscular antlers, when duly corrected as just indicated, appear to be materially less than our own."
K. U. Lead Followed in Western Kansas
Others seem to be falling in line with the University Daily Kansas in the revival of old-fashioned dances. News comes from Oberlin of an old fiddlers' contest held there Friday and Saturday for the purpose of deciding the championship of western Kansas,

The event was under the management of Prof. Hazen Richardson, the graduate of Bethany College at Lindenwood and who were offered by Oberlin merchants.
Among the old fiddlers who entered the contest were Vino Flicker, representative from Decatur county, who was old-time diddler for the house of representatives at the time. He was diddled by his wife, who has dilled for many dances and has the strong support of the women; and W. F. VanPelt of Marion, Neh., who came with the file and drum corps of Marion. W. A.

Professor Cunningham Is Studying Orientation
Prof. Harry A. Cunningham of Oread High School has been making a study of the orientation course problems in natural science for over two decades, and the professor of teacher training in natural sciences, Professor Cunningham has had the teachers of sciences in the high schools over the state keeping a diary of all their classroom activities. "These diaries should show me all the common mistakes made by the average high school science teachers," said Professor Cunningham. In this way I expect to see the high school students teaching how to teach their subject better.
