Of Benefit TO XPterapg

Washington. Dec. 4.-Exparte investi-
cations by the government in pension
cases have been abolished by recent ac-
ton OF the pension office. This is a step
Of much Importance to claimants of all
classes, and will be Of great benefit to
veterans. The action is in line with the
policy of Commissioner of Pensions
Murphy TO give the claimants the benefit
Of the doubt. Until 1878 every investga-
ton made by the bureau was exparte.
The practice was done away with to
some extent that year, and now has been
abolished save in criminal cases.

ARITHMETIC OF ANIMALS.
How a Parrot and q Dog Proved That
They Could Count.

One day the celebrated ornithologist
Audubon came out Of his cottage with
four of his friends to go for walk. The
next instant they saw parrot 0y in at a
window. Audubon and one of his friends
returned indoors and Immediately the
bird flew out in fright and went circling
about overhead Audubon came out
again, bnt the bird refused to re-enter un-
til the other gentleman had also left the
house 1t seemed to remember that two
persons had gone in and only one had
come out. Curious to discover how far
the parrot could count, he returned in
doors with his four friends and made them
60 out one at time, while he himself re-
mained inside In q few minutes the bird
few In again. 1t was evident that its
powers of arithmetic ended at the number
four.
A Russian doctor named Timo1eff tried
the same sort of experiment a few years
ago with birds, cats, dogs and horses. He
declared that the crow is capable of count
Ing as for as ten, and Is in that respect
superior to many tribes of men in Poly
nesia, who comprehend hardly anything Of
mathematics

Of his own dog Is amusing. The dog never

ways bid each one away separately. One
day his master presented him with 26
large bones, which he Immediately pro-
ceeded to bury in 26 different places
On the next day DIR. Timoleff did not
feed the animal at ALL but In the after
noon he let him out into the garden, and
from a window watched him attentively
The dog set to work at once and dug up
ten of the bones. Then he stopped, seemed
to reflect for minute and began digging
again until he had found nine Others
Here no stopped to consider as before, and
then returned to work, scratching perse-
veringly until he had unearthed six more
bones. This seemed to satisfy him. He
sat down and began his dinner. Suddenly
he raised his head, stopped eating and
looked around with thoughtful air
Then, ms IL quite sure that he had forgotten
something, no started up, trottcd round
the garden, found the twenty sixth bone,
and returned, with look of satisfaction,
to his meal.
The doctor believed that the number GO
was too much for the canine mind to
grasp, and that the dog had therefore di-
vided the provender into three groups,
counting the bones In each lot separately,
