In q recent number OF tho Youths
Companion. reference was mado tc
tho experiments OF Frenchman oil

certain sounds belonging to human
speech. A dog. it was stated. had
been found In Paris which was able to
uttor II sound approaching very nearly
to the word 'mamma."
A correspondent OF tho Companion
writes that u dog has been observed
and carefully studied, much nearer
homo than Paris. which pronouncos
tho word 'mamma" MS nearly like the
sound OF human speech rs it is posi-
bio for IL to bo uttered with tho wdo
mouth and loose lips OF II dog. and
which does this with conscious effort

are full and largo ovorhanglng the

Tho dog when called by his young
master and asked. Stanley. whom do
you love?' or simply told TO Say it,
showed that ho is aware that somo-
thing Is expected of him. Ho begins
to look around for tho bit OF cake or
other morsol OF food which Is to re.
ward him for his attempt and il Is
usually shown to him.
As IN Introductory performance,
Stanley lies down upon the floor. Ho
never talks" in any other attitude;
but whilo lying down, he keeps his
head clear of tho floor.

work his mouth" opening and shut
ting his great lips repeatedly. BY
and by he gives out sound which IS
half way between growi and a
whine and which is continually in
tcrrupted by the opening and shutting
OF tho lips.
Tho effect Is much like 'maw-maw-
NAV -maw." Tho dog Is told that tn,

lips, and reduces the number OF his
syllables to three.
