TEACHING A noe TO READ.
Details of Sir John Lubbock's Course
of Canine Instruction

Sir John Lubbock, the distinguished
physicist, as we not long ago explained,
Il trying to teach his dog to converse.
II seems from letter which Sir John
sends to the last number of Nature,
that Van, the dog, il making very salts
factory progress in his studies. He is,
indeed, displaying such aptitude for
learning that his master intends soon to
put him into arithmetic.
The method of instruction adopted is
q very simple one. Sir John prints on
pieces of card board, about ten inches
long by three inches broad, such words
as food" "bone, "water," "out," etc.
A number OF these cards are placed on
the floor side by side, SO that the dog
has several cards to select from, each
bearing different word. Van has now
learned to distinguished between these
cards, and to regard the bringing of a
card as a request.
For instance, "When he is hungry he
will bring food card time alter time, "
says Sir John Lubbock, "until he has
had enough, and then he lies down
quietly for a nap" Whenever he is
thirsty he picks up the water" card
Nltnpub any SuEktStlOu lTohi uihhltIt
and briags it with perfect gravity,
When he is invited to take a
walk he GLADLY responds by pick
ing up the out card and run.
ming triumphantly with it before me to
the front door. If through inadvertence
he brings card for something he does
not want, when the corresponding OBJ
ject is shown to him, he sei2es the card
takes it back again. and fetches the
right one" Sir John therefore con.
cludes, after much observation, that the
dog ''cannot only distinguish between
one word and another, but also associ.
ate the word and the object"
Van has made this progress in con.
versatiou. too, despite mauy Interrupt
tions in the course of the instruction
due to his masters frequent absence
from home and inability to give more
than little attention to the dogs tut
ton. As it is, In the opini IN of Sir John
Lubbock, it seems to be demonstrated
that "this method OF instruction opens
out a means by which dogs and other
animals may be email led to communicate
with US more satisfactorily than hither.
to
Sir John Lubb ok, indeed, repeats his
request that Others will cooperate in
this work Of canine ms truction. for, as
We have said, he wants to extend the
course. 81 am now considering" he
writes, "the best mode of testing Van
in very simple arithmetic" Here, too,
in all probability, he will likewise be
successful, and we await with interest
the reports Of Vans progress in learning
to cipher.--N y. San.

building, near tho government printing
office, yeste rlay afternoon. He could fre-

placards on his back and breast bearing such
inscriptions as "Come to Jesus" Judgment
Day is Coming" &c. He was given the FREQ
use of the old chapel building, and occupied
it for several years. The outside was
filled with religious inscriptions. similar
to the above, painted in large letters.
He gave homeless and wandering tramps
shelter in the building, and in the morning
before they departed dish of cornmeal

which he distributed about the streets. AL
