1oisette,s second Memory Class.

| BY the unanimous request OF his nrst
memory class here, Professor Loisette
has been induced to form a second class
next Wednesday. Few knew of the first
class till it was too late to join 1t. All
doubts about the soundness and value OF
his teaching is set at rest by the unanl-
nous request of his first class for his re-
turn. He is here again and this fact will
be widely advertised by his second free
lecture at the Assembly hall next Monday
evening at s o. clock. There are many in
all cities that he has visited, who seem to
question their ability to learn his system
| from three oral lectures. To answer this
objection the professor proposes to give
nine afternoon lectures, viz: Three
lectures on each of the three lesson books
and he grants the right to all to attend
the nine evening lectures in addition to
the nine afternoon lectures. By this
method the most illiterate person ca n
master the system from the oral lectures
and no one will have to study the system
any more in private. This concession on
the part of the professor ought to be lib
orally responded to by very large class
A person attempting to learn a new sub
| ject by private study, is like one drag
ging heavy sled up hill. But learning
the same subjects from oral lectures, is
| like riding down hill when one cannot
help making progress. Let all turn out
next Monday evening and hear the pro-
lessor at the Assembly hall. He is a
| born orator and one cannot regret hear
ing him on his chosen theme of forming
new memories and banishing that curse
of modern times-the ever paralyzing
mind wandering.

regularly at the twentieth. So confident
was the plowman of the accuracy of his
horse's calculations that at the end of
the day he used to estimate the. amount
of work done, not by counting the fur
rows himself, but by simply remember
ing the number of times his horse had
5opped to rest.
In another village the doctor found a
horse which was able to count the mile
posts along the way, and which had been
trained by its master to stop for feed
whenever they had covered twenty five
rstes. One day they tried the horse
over road where three false mile
posts had been put in between the real
ones, and sure enough the horse deceived
by this trick, stopped for his oats at the
end of twenty two verstes instead of 60
ing the usual twenty-five.
The same horse was accustomed to be-
lug fed every day at the stroke OF noon.
The doctor observed that whenever the
clock struck any hour the horse would
stop and prick up his ears as if counting.
If he heard 10 he would trot off contents
edly to be fed, but if there were fewer
strokes than II he would go on working
resignedly.
The experiment was made of striking
twelve strokes at the wrong time, wher-
upon the horse started for his oats IN
spite of the fact that he had been fed only
an hour before. This shows that little
knowledge may be a bad thing for horses
as well as men.

OTHER CAT CANvAsEs.
Mrs. johnson has sent this large canvas
TO Chicago to the fair.
But Mr.. Kahler has several paintings of
cats in his studio. He has been trying to
finish some New Zealand studies, but his

studio shows the finest cat IN
Mrs. Johnson's collection seated COM
fortably on a green plush sofa with a
little white, mlschievous SNOWFALL of a
kitten playing impishly on the arm of the
sofa above him. Mrs. Johnson bought
this cat, Sultan, in Paris. He cost her
So, 900. He attracted her fancy, but she
was told that he was not for sale. She
asked what his value was, and then Of

conqueror; he was king defending his
possessions. But he always attacked,
never waited for the enemy.
Like Hannibal, he possessed the Sc
cret of keeping a secret. Until his day
no one in modern times had been SO

tactics. The good of Prussia was his
motto. He demanded as daily habit

Officers is the first work which gave
the world an insight into the theory OF
war. Down to this day no one had un-

book is the greatest debt we owe him.
Next he taught the world what decision
will do, and thai all manRuvres should
look to battle as an outcome.
He invented many new things, such as
horse artillery, and made his cavalry do

paralleled since his day.

KAHLER, THE CAT PAINTER.
The History of the California Cat
Ranch.

NEW YORK, July 11.-TheEe IS in this
lown famous artist who has become a
victim of cats. He has received as much
ls $3.50, 600 for painting three pictures,
md now his whole artistic soul is
wrapped up in cats.
His name is Carl Kahler Just now his
studio is in the Judge building, but he
will not remain long in New Y DIRK. He is
bird of passage. He is an Austrian. In
Munich, where he took many first prizes,
knd in Paris, where he has exhibited in
the Salon, his fame is great.
Mr.. Kahler's first success was that of a
dgure painter. but he has wandered sue
cessfully through the whole ganut of

there was much material for a painter.

There lives in California widow, Mrs.
Robert johnson, worth many millions;
also she possesses the finest collection of
Angora cats outside of Persia. She has a
ranch of 5000 acres, and the principal
product OF the vast estate is cats.
The Aneoras live in royal splendor at
Buena Vista, Mrs. Johnson's summer
residence near Somona. She has more
than three hundred cats with long tails
and pedigrees, and there is a retinue OF
japanese servants whose sole business it
is to look after them.
To be sure there are several other pets
OF the big ranch, but they are merely a
background to the cats. For instance,
there is a fine collection of parrots and
cocatoos. Their businels is to help make
life interesting for the cats
HOW MIR. KAHLER BECAME CAT MAD.
OF course when Mr.. Kahler went to
California he heard about those cats. He
was invited to the ranch to see them.
There he received a commission to paint
some of them.
The great landscape painter s soul re-
beiled. After he had watched the cats
awhile he became interested. When he
began to study them he became cat mad.
1t is q curious form of dcmentia, but it
sticks, and Mr.. Kahler confesses.
He made the acquaintance of "Car-
oline, who is large, fat, and matronly,
and of ssProddy, . who became known
as the Proaigal Son because he ran away
for two months. He heard the story Of
how a base born yellow cat with one ear
and generally dlsreputable air sat on
the fence for four weeks and refused to be
6islodged while he wooed a beautiful
white Angora, who was young and giddy
and who finally eloped with him. Mr..
Kahler became personally acquainted
with these and many more. He is the
only stTang ger who was ever known to get
oil terms of personal Intimacy with
stsrandfather William, y whose dignity
has made famous politicians feel that
they lacked repose.
Mrs. johnson wanted many cats placed
IN one picture, so Mr.. Kahler painted a
canvas nine feet long and six and hal

royal animal on its native heath.
HOW ANIMALS COUNT.
Some Curious Experiments Showing the
Numerical Processes of Dogs,
Cats and Horses.
by Cleveland Mofett.

Numerical Processes of Dogs,
Cats and Horses.
by Cleveland Moffett
Russian physician has been making
some curions experiments to find out how
far animals can count.
He declares that the crow can count mn
to ten and is thereby superior in arith-
metic to certain Polynesian tribes of men
who cannot get beyond five or six.
The doctor had q dog, which was ac-
customed to bury the bones it found
each one in a separate place in the garden.
One day. wishing to test the ANIMAL s
power OF counting, the master gave
it no less than twenty-six bones.
which were all buried one after another
in special hiding places. The next dav
the dog was given no more bones. and so
was forced to dig up the old ones. With
out any hesitation he uncovered ten and
then came to stop.
Alter whining and running about as if
IN state OF great perplexity new idea
seemed to enter the canine brain and
again the dog began to dig up the hidden
bones and this time he added nine to the
total before his memory again failed him.
Then there was a second period of
whining and perplexity, after which the
seven remaining bones were found with
some difficulty
The doctor concluded from this that 26
was too large a number for the dog to
lake in all at once and that he had been
obliged to remember the bones as it were
IN three shorter series.
The cat, it would seem, is even less OF
an arIthmatician than the dog, not being
able TO count as far as 10.
Before giving his cat its regular piece al
meat the DOCTOR would put it under the

silk and G blue silk curtain with graceful
folds for a background. He has just up
set blue vase and broken it, but is not
in the least disturbed. His face is turned
about, and his big blue eyes look inno-
cent, untroubled, confident. His long
bushy tail sweeps downward gracefully :,
making feathery outline against the
blue silk cover.
1t is a remarkable thing that in all the
hundreds of cats that Mr.. Kahler has
painted there are no two OF them
which have the same expression, In
each there is distinct individuality
However, Mr.. Kahler doesn't claim
to be a cat-painter. He likes to
paint that which interests him at the
moment. no matter what it may be,
and as cats have interested him more than
anything else during the last three years,
he has painted them.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-07-16


animals nose and then withdraw it five
times in succession, and IL was only the
sixth time that be would give the cat the
morsel. This number was repeated every
day until the cat grew perfectly accus-
toned to waiting five times, but would
spring forward of its own accord at the
sixth presentation
Having thus demonstrated that pussy
was able to remember up to six, the
doctor tried to seven, but without sue
cess. As soon as he attempted to per-
form the experiment with higher numbers
the cat became confused and would jump
forward for the meat at the wrong time.
The number 6 therefore would seem to be
the limit of the cats power of counting.
Not less interesting were similar ex-
perilnents with horses. In the village of
Pekoe, the doctor found a peasant S
horse which was used for blowing, and
which had acquired the habit of count
ing the burrows and stopping for rest

Zealand for seven years; then he started
to the United States, to make studies in
the Yosemite valley.
But he has never been in the Yosemite
valley. Cats came into his life and they
have completely filed it ever since
When MIR. Kahler arrived in San
Francisco, two years ago, be had
never painted a cat. Since then he
has painted little else. OF course he
has painted other pictures in the
meantime, but he confesses that they
all have had cats in them. He has even
gone over some OF his old canvases and
painted cats in them. It must be admit
ted that Mr.. Kahler's cats are worth
while. No one ever saw such cats on
canvas as those he has painted.
