approach Of sundown is announced by the
cicada, which, after o preliminary noise like
the winding Of clock, sends forth into the
air a long shrIll sound like the whistle Of a
locomotive. From all directions the strange
note shrieks In different keys, recalling the
far-off Carlisle Of Clapham, and waking

The uomin~ Instinct.

DR.. George NJ Gould has collected authentic
cases of animals finding their way homeward
over long distances He tells in Progress"
that dogs, even when carried away in
blindfolded or drugged condition. find their
way home over distances from five to five
hundred miles; and in one case, when the
dog was taken Off along the two sides OF
triangle, he came home by the third side.
The ex, lsitey trained instinct Of the flying
pigeon, and similar capabilities of most
animals, show the great Importance of this
faculty. BY way of explanation, DR.. Gould
suggests that, without the faculty of finding
the way homeward, the sphere of an animals
life would be very narrow. The malnte-
nance of the species would develop the power
of seeking new fields and the power to turn
homewards. The ordinary senses cannot
account for this homing instinct, as actual
exp. .iments have shown DR., Gould sees
here the true sixth sense, and regards it as
a sensibility to changes in electric and mag
netic tension, due to position on the earth's
surface. The home is the animals north
pole. By habit, it is accustomed to the
magnetic conditions there, but when away is
restless, and finds its way homeward by this
mysterious compass. Dr.. Gould connects
with this some fanciful speculations as to the
import of the pineal gland as possible mag
netic organ, and some hints as to the physical
nature of inconsistencies in mankind.
