WHAT ANIMALS SHY AT.
Some of the Illusions from Which They
GufFer.


Suffer
Young horses can be led up to a sack
lying on the ground and induced to pass
it by letting them smell it and find out
that it really is sack, and not the Pro-
team thing, whatever it may be, which
illusion conjures up for them. Once
the writer saw a very quick and pretty
instance of experiment by touch made
by a frightened pony. 1t was being
driven as leader in a pony tandem, and
stopped short in front of where the
rails of a steam tramway crossed the
road. 1t first smelled the near rail, and
then quickly gave it two taps with its
hoof. After this it was satisfied, and
crossed the line. On the other hand, a
donkey always tried to jump the shad-
ows of tree trunks on the road, though
a similar experiment of touch would
have shown that these were as unreal
as the tram rail was substantial. Last
ly, no horse which has once knocked
Its head against the top of a stable door
way seems quite able to get rid of the
illusion that there sits up in the top of
NIL doorways an invisible something
which will hit him again next time he
goes through. Hence the troublesome,
and sometimes incurable, habit of
horses "jibbing" when taken out of the
stable.
This is an obvious instance of the dis
advantage at which most animals stand
in regard to means of physical expert
ments. The horse, for instance, needs
only feel the Intel to find out that it is
fixed and does not move, and is not alive
and waiting to hit him. But except his
lips, which are sensitive, he has no
member with which he can make this
experiment. Except the elephant and
the monkey. most of the "higher" ami
mails suffer from this lack of the means
Of experiment. The wonder is, not that
they suffer from illusions, but that they
make so few NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

PRIMITIVE WOMAN WAS NEW.
Indian Relics Prove That the First Pot
ter Was Woman.

ter Was Woman
The discovery near Maurice river. IL
the neighboring state of New jersey.
Of large numbers of stone implements
used by Indian or other tribes in the
longgone centuries brings into notice
the primitive woman, says the New
York Tribune.
In New Jersey, as everywhere else in
the world, she appears to have been
industrious and energetic and ingeu-
ious. Among the implements discny-
cred which she employed in prehistoric
New Jersey were flint knives, with
which she cut meat and probably veg
etables; flint scrapers, with which she
cleaned the skins of deer and bear, wild
cat and other animals, preliminary 10
drying and smoking them for use as
wearing apparel; clay pots and pans,
pipkins and dishes, which she made in
primeval potteries, at first the sun dry
ing them and thereafter burning them
in hot wood fires. The pottery shows
here and there artistic yearnings on the
part of the unknown makers, more un-
couth and rudimentary than those of
the ancient cliff-dwellers, but never
theless they disclose the artistic senti-
ments and confirm the long list of ex-
amples collected by Prof. Mason. Of
Washington, showing that the first pot

and carver and the first artist YVES

Life In the Polar Region.

Some curious details of life in the po-
lar region have been obtained from
members of the hansen expedition.
They all dwell on the feelings of delight
which they experienced in once more
meeting other human beings. So tired
did they become of seeing the same
faces and hearing the Same voices day
after day in the course of the slow drift
northward that in the end feeling oil
irritation was produced. At times this
irritability became well-nigh insup
portable. Finding it almost impossible
to endure the sight of another day, they
would set off on long walks over the
ice, each man by himself. 1t was an
astounding thing, one man said, to see
his comrades striding away over the
zee from the ship, each in { different di-
rection. and carefully avoiding his fel

OLDEST KNOWN BIRD.

little volume. The Story OF the Earth
In Past Ages makes known numer-
ous insects and other forms Of terres-
trial life Of this period, including the
oldest known bird.
a bird Is known by its feathers;
though there Is no reason why the COW
erfng 70 the skin should not be as yari-
able in this group Of animals as among
reptiles or mammals. 1t is, therefore,
remarkable that the oldest-known
bird. the archaeopteryx, has feathers as
well developed as in the existing repre-
sentatiyes Of the class and similarly ar
ranged. The animal is an elegant.
slender bird, which is chiefly remark
able for showing teeth in the jaws.
About u, short and conical, occur on
each side Of the upper jaw.
1.-THE bird was larger than the robin
in it's body and had a tail Of which
therewag a bony core some six inches IN
length. The wings were quite as well
developed as the legs and there are
some evidences that the former could
be applied to the ground az are the fore
legs of quadrUpeds, although the feath-
ers show the wings to have been con-
structed on the same plan as the birds
of to-day.
"The SoIenhofen stone, in which so
many of the remains of fishes, reptiles
and insects are found, is the same as
that used for photographic purposes,
being of exceeding close texture and
of remarkable smoothness when pre-
pared for it's work"

NAMES OF lie FLOWERS.

The name of the pansy is from the
French ''pensees," Thoughts" this
flower from very ancient times being a
symbol Of affectionate remembrance.
The rhcdodendron is named from two
Greek words signifying "a rose-tree,"
from the gigantic size of these plants in
oriental and tropical countries.
The calycanthus has it's name from
two Greek words signifying "a closed
cup" an allnsion to the peculiar shape
of the outer covering of the flower.
The gcranium has it's name from two
Latin words signifying "crane's BILL"
the reference being to the beak-like
torus projecting beyond the seeds.
The dianthus has it's name from two
Greek words signifying divine flow

unrivaled neatness of the blossoms.
The tulip derives its name from the
Persian word thoulbon, "a turban," al
eastern head-dress, sometimes made In
the form OF well-shaped tulip.

ars TO be nearly the same in all Iap-
