Is sEAsEs oE ANIMALS.
Sir John Lubboek's Black Poodle "Van."
Bees sensIbIllty TO Sound.

Sir John Lubbock's Black Poodle evan"
Bees sensibnity to Sound.
Sir John Lubbock recently delivered a
lecture TO the members Of the Edinburgh
Philosophical institute on ''Tle Sense and
Senses of Animals" =" in Che course Of
which he said that there had been so
many important recent works published
relating to his subject that he thought it
would be more interesting were he to
deal, for the most part, with his own
observations. Different ideas prevailed
regarding the question Of the intelligence
of animals. Some people regarded dog
as an animal almost as wise and clever as
themselves; but, on asking them if they
thought a dog could realize that two and
two made four, he generally found good
deal of doubt on that point.
Sir John Lubbock then described the
system which he had adopted in the
training of his own black poodle dog.
"Van" He had placed two pieces Of
cardboard ON one of which was printed
in large letters the word flood" the
other being blank, on two saucers. In
one of the saucers was food. and the card
with the word upon it. In the other,
the blank card and no food. In about
ten days the dog began to distinguish the
card with the letters from the PLAIN card,
and would go at once to the printed one.
The lecturer then related in some detail
his successful efforts in inducing the dog
70 bring him the proper card when he
wanted food, in teaching him to know
other cards containing the words ''out, :"
'stea, F." bone, I" water. On bringing
tlle card marked ''out" he would rush
to the door. The cards were not put in
the same places, but in different posi-
tons; and in order that the dog might
not be guided by scent, other cards with
the same markings were used.
No one who saw him look down the
row Of cards, and pick out the one
wanted, could doubt that be sought a
particular card for a particular object
he had found, at the end of three
months experiments, that he could not
get the dog to realize the difference Of
colors, and it was just possible that the
dog might be color blind. He had also
failed to get the dog to distinguish

curves and veinings of the smallest petals
and leaves are preserved with infinite
exactitude, so that it would seem as il
the piece represented years of patient APP
plicati0n Of the highest skill in this diff
cult branch of art. In point OF fact,
however, the whole thing was produced
in few hours, and at small expense, by
the new process Of plating, the invention
of a Frenchman. Each bronze flower
and leaf incloses the real original, upon
which the metal haa been deposited by
electric action, and it is affirmed that the
roses so encased retain indefinitely their
perfume, and, even in their deepest
interiors, their natural colOrs. The
same process is applied in the making OF
silver flies. beetles and other insects, and
even in the coating Of lizards and small
snakes for the Ornamentation Of parasol
handles and cane heads. The dead insect
or reptile is hermetically sealed up in its
metal coat, and, it is said, will never de-
cay, at least until the metal is worn
through, and, as the deposit may be put
on as thick as is deemed advisable, they
may be made to last as long as peoples s
liking for them as a novelty endures.
The fidelity to nature in these reproduc-
tons is wonderful.
Heretofore something has been done in
the direction Of plating non-conducting
surfaces by giving them primary coat
ing Of plumbago, but that always was a
necessary imperfect process. The French
electrician substitutes for that a bath
the composition of which is a secret
into which the objects to be plated are
plunged for few seconds. When they
are withdrawn they dry off almost inn
mediately and seem to have upon them a
family discernable coating like the bloom
upon a plum. They are then plunged
into an electric bath, and any metal de-
sired is deposited upon them.-New York

among one, two, three. or four broad
bands upon the cards. In order to
ascertain if bees were sensible to sounds,
he had placed some honey on q musical
box on his lawn The box played for
ten days without stopping, and then he
removed it to a window sill on the first
floor of his house Not bee came to it.
H again paced it on the lawn, and they
again returned to the honey. He next
brought it into tho drawing room on the
ground floor, about ten yards from its
former position, but they did not follow;
but on his bringing two or three bees
into the house and putting them on the
honey, they began to feed, and, flying
off, returned with their companions. Il
seemed as if they did not hear the tune.
Regarding the old idea that bees would
not swarm unless they were ''tanged"
by the creation Of sounds, he was under
the impression that it was the cover
tones" which the insects heard, and
which were inaudible to our ears. The
sounds were so low as to be beyond our
range of hearing. Man, he said, had
i've senses, and fancied that no others
were possible; but it was obvious that
we could not measure the infinite by our
own narrow limitations. Even within
the penetrationro our own senses there
might be endless sounds which we could
not hear, and colors Of which we have
no conception. There was also the other
question still remaining for solution. that
the familiar world which surrounded us
might be different place altogether for
other animals, in which there was music
we could not hear, colors we could not
see, and sensations which we could not
conceive. The pursuit Of such studies
gave a clew to senses and perceptions of
which we had no conception. n.-Mechan-

A writer in The New York Tribune
tells the story of the appearance Of a
mans brain under a strong microscope
that is both interesting and suggestive.
In the brain matter, he says, were no
ticed curious markings, some geometri-
cal, some sinuous, and many others that
proved to be characters in the Ethioplc,
Syriac and Phoenician languages, which
the possessor Of the brain, when alive,
had made a special study. Now for the
suggestive part. Perhaps some day
when q man dies we can take out mis-
brain, spread it on 4 microscopic slide,
and, in a peep, behold him as he really
was, not as he pretended to be, Every
thing his mind ever took cognizance Of
and formed an opinion about will be open
before us like the page of a book.
No doubt the traceries will take pecn-
lar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the
brains of some young men, who died
young because they were good, will show
markings closely resembling champagne
bottles, night keys and fast horses. The
tracings in the brain Of more than one
good bald headed deacon may assume the
graceful forms of ballet girls, the sight Of
which made such an impression on him
when alive and in the front row Of the
theatre. Shapes that closely resemble
beautiful entrain and decollete dresses
may be expected in the craniums Of So
ciety bellies called hence in the midst Of
their triumphs. In the brains of re-
porters will be noticed many ghastly
family and public secrets which, out OF
reportorial goodness Of heart, never were
given out to the world. And so We
might continue ad infnitum, but we re-
frain. This scientific investigation must
not be pushed further. A key that opens
a mans secrets after he is dead might
not be such a hilarious discovery after

BRIEF MENTION.
The American club in London.

Among the many burning questions
which yet remain to be settled between
the United States and Great Britain,
none have caused more dissatisfaction in
social circles ON the other side Of the At
lantic than the lack Of reciprocity shown
by us in the matter of club hospitality.
To the English gentleman every club in
New York is open; but the citizen of the
United States, on arrival in London,
finds the portals of the leading clubs in
Pail Mall sealed doors. Distinguished
men, it is true, are made honorary mem
bers of the Athen@um; but it isnot every
one who can find exuberant joviality
within its walls. Our countrymen who
have resided in America, struck by the
very one sided nature of the club treaty
existing between the two countries, have
recently started fresh addition to the
many London clubs. The American club
aims at affording a meeting place in Lon
don for all men interested in the western
hemisphere. Here members Of the Pa
cific club at San Francisco, of the Mani
toba club at Winnipeg, Of the Cercle des
Etrangers at Rio, the Knickerbocker at
New York and the Turf in Piccadilly
meet on terms of perfect equality. st.

Artiacial I1owera Going out.

1t is said that artificial flowers are going
out Of use in England and lace coming in at
about equal ratio. In 1882 the value OF
flowers imported reached the enormous sum
Of s., 100000 while in 1885 this fell of to
81, ,2j0O00. The increase IN the importation
of lace meanwhile has amounted to more
than all these figures of artificial flowers
together But the odd feature Of this is that
while this increase goes on in importation
from the continent, England seems bound to
let her own lace industries languish. The
beautiful lace work, with its branching
sprays so suggestive Of hawthorne blooms,
still goes on, but the rich and great Of Britain
do not patronize it enough to encourage its
increase.-Public Opinion.

AstrnIorers. nrn.ical Rlncs.

The ring among astrologers was favor
ite means of divinihg the future. 1t was
suspended by hair in the middle Of a
cup known as the draining cup. Ques-
tions were asked and the ring tapped the
sides of the goblet in answer, but as the
hand of tho astrologer held the hair to
which the ring was fastened, perhaps
there was not so much divining in this
as the credulous supposed. All astrol-
ogers, however, had at least seven magic
rings; one for the sun, diamond set in
gold; another for the moon, a crystal in
silver; a third for Mercury, a loadstone
in silver; fourth for Venus, an amethyst
in copper; fifth for Mars, an emerald in
iron; a sixth for Jupiter, a cornellan in
tin; a seventh for Saturn, a turquoise in
lead. Many astrologers had a zodiac ring,
or ring exhibiting in its setting all the
signs of the zodiac, the general effect be-
ing that of a calendar or old fashioned
almanac. Charm rings arc also very
common even in later times. Henry VIII
had so much confidence in a ring which
belonged to Thomas a Beckett that he
had it set as a thumb ring and wore it
