TAILS ARE ELOQUENT.
Express Anger. Fear. Pleasure. Pride
or Defiance,

Which organ il animals is most used
to express emotion? Since it may be
said that within the sense Of the ques-
ton there are scarcely any dumb ami
mails even the hare utters most ag-
onizcd scream of terror when overhuut-
edit may be said that the vocal or
gaus are. after all, those most upiver-
sally used for this purpose among ami
mails, as among the human races, says
the Boston Globe, There are very few
animals which do not utter some char
acteristic sound TO express JOY or sor-
row. satisfaction, disgust or fear. Next
to the voice would probably come the
tail. though curiously enough differ
cnt species of animals use this organ to
express quite contrary emotions. The
dog tribe wacs II to express JOY orp'eas-
urnble expectations. The felines eN-
preSS anger by the same movement, but
both canine and feline express fear by
curling il between the legs. while bo-
vine species expresses anger 10y erect
phants express anger by lashing their
tails and waving their ears, horses do
the same by laying their ears back.
Birds expand the feathers of the tail to
express pride or defiance and elevate
them to show pleasure. The whale. too,
indicates rage and suffering by furious
blows OF the tail,
