The Fox as a Ecasoner.
J the Nineteenth CcnturY.I

from the Nineteenth Century, - .--"
! For some good Instances Of reasoning in
animals am also indebted to DR.. Rae. De-
string to obtain some Arctic foxes, he set va
rious kinds of traps; but, IS the foxes knew
these traps from previous experience, he
was unsuccessful. Accordingly he set q
kind OF trap with which the foxes in that
mart of the country were not acquainted.
This consisted Of o loaded gun set upon
stand pointing at the bait. A string con-
nected the trigger Of the gun with the bait,
so that when the fox seized the bait he dis
charged the gun, and thus committed sui
eide. In this arrangement the gun was
separated from the bait by distance OF
about twenty yards, and the string
which connected the trigger with the
bait was concealed throughout nearly
its whole distance in the snow. The
gun-trap thus set was successful in
killing one fox, but not in killing Sc
cond; for the foxes afterward adopted
either OF two devices whereby to secure the
bait without iniuring themselves. One OF
these devices was to bite through the string
at the exposed part near the trigger, and
the other device was to burrow up to the bait
through the snow at right angles to the line
Of fire, SO that, although in this way they
discharged the gun, they escaped without
tuS oute PotASA oS1o' eho 'AnS
of fire before the string was drawn sutii-
GENTLY tight to discharge the gun. Now.
both Of these devices exhibited wonderful

called power of reasoning. / have care
fully Intercepted DR.. Rae on all the
circumstances of the case, and he tells me
that in that part OF the world traps are
neEer set with strings. so that there can
have been no special association in the foxes
