Can Animals Count ?

Houzsau de la Haine, tells OF a nell

aud the bird acquired so clear a notion
Of the return of that day, when il had
TO fast, that it would not sir from the
tree on which il Was accustomed IN
spehd It's time. IL is not necessary To
suppose that the pelican nad learned TO
count the SIX days at the end which
its masters would not go fishing bur.
while it really estimated daily the
time when 1t must make its excursion
TO The shore, il was informed of
the return of Sunday by obseva-
tioE o: what Was going on in
the house, as. for instance, by the fish,
ermen putting on their Sunday clothes
in the same way as the dog knew when
It's master was going TO hunt by seeing
him with his gun and game-bag. In
such instances, animals show that they
have the faculty OF associatirg ideas, OF
observing consecutive fac:s, and esiab
ing correiatiye connection between

by abundance of other evidence, and
which demonstrate not less ;nIelligenc,

1t is bad policy TO be naughty, repel-

that he needs but a new foorhold TO

among the reasons why men who are
true to themselves, are almost invaria

friendship and sympathy mean some
thing more than words.
Let no one, whatever bis talents. his
opportunities or his condolences in his

Inventions Copied from Nature.

Most OF the skillsul devices invented
! by men for doing foe work rapidly can
/ be traced 10 nature. where for countless
centuries they have been operating
The disc9verer of each new appliance
or mechanism might be shown that his
idea was as old as the hills. 1t is claim
ed that the inventors of the future will
be those who carefully s.; udy the natur-
al world.
The buhr- stones o. mills are another
style OF the molar teeth which grind all
the grist that feeds men and beas' S.
The hoofs of horses are made of paral-
lei plates like carriage springs. The
fines lie of human manufacture is a
rough affair compared with the Dutch
rush used by cabinet makers. The Jaws
of the turtle and torsise are natural
scissors. The squirrel carries chiseIs IN
his mouth, and the hippopotamus is
provided with adzas, which are con-
siantly sharpened as they are worn.
The carpenters plane is found in the
jaws of a bee. The woodpecker has a
powerful little trip p-hammer
The dying bell initiates the work of
the water-spider, which constructs a
small cell under tie water. clasps bub-
BILE of air between its hind-legs. and
dives down TO its submarine chamber
with the bubble, displacing the water
gradually until its abode with the fishes
contains large airy room surrounded
by water.
In laying its eggs on the water the
gnst fastens them into the shape of
life boat, which it is impossible to sink
mast OF modern ship is strengthened
by deep ribs running along its interior.
a poIcupine quill! is strengthened by
similar ribs. When engineers found
thai hollow beams were stronger than
solid ones, they only discovered a prin-
ciple that is very commonly seen in na-
ture. a wheat straw, if solid could not
support its head of grain. The bones
of the higher animals are porous, and
those of birds, where lightness aud
strength are most beautifully corr bined,
are hollow. The frame work OF ship
resembles The skeleton OF herring.
Aeronauts try 10 copy the structure and
movements Of birds.
PAlissy, the French potter, studied
sea side shells TO learn the best method
of fortifying a town. The ship worm Is
an admirable tunneller, boring his way
through any submerged timber, ard
lining the round passage with hard
casing. The engineer Brunei took q
hint from this animal, and was the first
TO succeed in tuEnelling under water.
The Eddystone Lighthouse is built on
the plan OF tree trunk, and is fastened
10 the rock in manner similar to the
way d tree clIngs to the soil. II is sup
posed that the first idea of suspension
bridge was suggested by the ereepers of
a tropical forest.
When plans were wanted for the
London Crystal Palace. joseph Paxton,
gardener 10 the Duke OF Devonshire,
haxing noticed the structure of the
gigantic leaves of the enormous water
lily Victoria R-gia, plant which had
been introduced into England a few
years before, adopted the idea of COPY
ing in iron the rios of the leaf, and fill
Ing the remaining space with glass. So

florist became Sir Joseph Paxton, the
great architect.
