AFRICAN APES INN0CULATED As They Are the Nearest Beasts to Man in Structure, Temperament ana Susceptibllity to Disease, They Will e Sacrificed. HONOLULU, Oct. 5. As soon ns the ifedoart leprosarium at the Molokal not federal leprosarium at the Molokal set apes from East Africa are to be. Im ported, taken to the settlement and in oculated with the bacilli of the dreaded diseiiHe. This is to bo done in order that a systematic study of leprosy may be made, that the scienlMs may be able to watch the course of the disease from its Inception and experiment on the sub jostc at all stages of its growth, says the Hawaiian Gazette. The African chimpanzees are of all toasts the nearest to man, nearest in .structure, in temperament and in sus ceptibility to.diseaso, and for this rea son it is that they will be called upon to give up their lives that a remedy for suffering mankind may be sought for. They will be exposed to the .disease in its various forms in order that degrees of contaga'tion may be learned. They will be inoculated with the bacilli and watolied, studied, treat ed and experimented with as the dis ease developes, and in cases they will to painlessly killed that most mortem (examinations may be conducted and" the ravage's of the now incurable sickness n the various functions of the body at Its different stages earned. In this way it is hoped that a remedy av be discovered. In this way only. r ' . . .... j .!H can 'i dc noueu vu v..j 1)e found. The apes experimented upon will die in the best of causes, and their deaths will be justified as the one pos sible way In which there can be any liope of discovering the remedy for the dinca-e most dreaded of all the ills that llch is heir to. Auti-vivfcectinnists may oppose such experimenting upon living subjects. It U most probable tluit they will oppose them; but if there be the least possi bility of discovering the serum that will render the bacilli of leprosy Inoculou the sacrifice of the apes wil lie justi fied. Science had agreed that ft remedy can only be found along these lines, and along thee lines it will be searched for. The records of the Molokal settle ment show that the animals so far tak en there among the lepers have an im munity from the dkease. Dogs and cuts live in (he leper's houses unaffected, and horses and cattle die there only by the same disease as elsewhere. The disease does not affect birds kept in confinement, and rabbits and guinea pigs are kept there as pets and live out their natural lives without the contagation they are exH)seto affecting them. Re cently a number of monkeys have been taken to the settlement, but these have not been there long enough to show whether they, too, ane immune. Neither, so far as can bo learned, has the disease been transmitted to any animal by inoculation, although the ex periments made on lubbits and guinea pigs throughout the civilized world might have suggested such a course in regard to leprosy. Heretofore, however, there has been little opportunity for any scientific system of experiments at Molokal, except the one fatal case whore a human being, a man condemned to death, submitted himself to Inocu lation in preference to going to the scaffold." The use of apes as living sub jects for experiments in other diseases has been fairly common, fts common as the great expense Involved Would per mit. The great Pasteur experimented with them in Ms life's work of discov ering the serum for the cure of hydro phobia., Koch, the Gorman savant, worked with apes in his experiments for the determination of the bacilli of tuberculosis, and other lesser scientists have brought down upon their-, haads the maledictions of the anti-vivisection-Ists- for , their experimenting with the same brute. ' . The one great drawback in the use o the ape for such work as is planned to be done at the leprosarium, as Is stated, ts tne great expense. The apes are to bo secured through the American consula representatives in (Portugese East Africa, and to bring them here will cost the govrenment over $500 for each animal. The chimpanzees are af fected more than almost any other ani hial with nostalgia, by which term the scientists 'mean homesickness, and many of them refuse to live in confinement, pining their lives away. This adds to the diculty of conducting experiments. l)r. Itrinckerhoff, the federal medical oflk-er to be in charge of the leprosarium, and under whom the experiments will be oarrieU out, purposes devoting a large part of his laboratory to housing the apes, when they are first brought to the settlement, devoting to them the entire upper floor of the building. Here they live in direct touch with the fed eral physician and his assistants, ac customing themselves to be handled, learning to forget their African home in association with the humans of the sta tion, gradually acquiring a confidence in those around them, who will do whatever is possible to win their confi dence. All thi while the apes will be left in their natural healthy condition, neither affected animals nor leper being allowed in this portion of the lepro sarium, .which is to be the working quar ter of the pharmacists and bacteriol ogists! t After the apes are inoculated they will be placed in a specially prepared animal bouse in the large compound in the mr of the hospital proper. Here will also be kept whatever other animal it may be deemed judicious to be used in tlw systematic and exhaustive exper iments it is the intention of Dr. Brinck erhoff to carry on. It is froui the apes, however, that the great results are to be looked for, because their close rela tionship with man will show what can be done with .them In the alleviation and possibly , the cure of the disease. One thing can certainly be said, -and that is that is that if it be humanly pos sible, with the present knowledge of the scientists in charge of this station and the ultimate knowledge of the disease they will obtain from their fork at Molokia, for a cure of the hitherto in curable disease to bo cured, it will be obtained.
