Case The world has all but forgotten the "Moon Hoax." Only very old men and women now remember those wonderful discoveries in the moon by Sir John Herschel in his observations at the Cape of Good Hope. The "facts" were first published by Richard Adams Locke in the New York Sun in 1835, as Ernst Haeckel and the Darwinians were preparing to trifle with the human mind in a manner unparalleled in history. The moon facts were so plausibly constructed as to deceive not only the public at large, but many scientific men. So great were the "wonders" that they were published separately in various editions in America and Europe. For forty years men talked about them and as late as 1872 the celebrated English mathematician, Augustus De Morgan, declared ("Budget of Paradoxes," London), that the real author of the hoax was none other than J. N. Nicollet, a French astronomer in the United States. Of far greater significance and of more enduring influence is the ape-man hoax now scattering its corruptions throughout the world and impressing its deceptions upon the world's "best minds." Reaching its climax in 1921, the ape-man hoax took the form of a seemingly spontaneous movement to reestablish the theory of man's monkey-origin.
