ANIMALS THAT COUNT.

Instances That Prove Their Possession of
the Computing Faculty.
Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnati mule which was employed by
street railway company i'll hauling
cars up a steep incline. This animal
was hitched in front of the regular
team and unhitched as soon as the car
arrived at the top Of the hill. 1t made
certain number of trips in the fore
noon Il have forgotten the number, but
will say 80 for the sake of conyenience)
and like number in the afternoon,
resting for an hour at noon. AS soon as
the mule completed its fiftieth trip 1t
marched away to its stable without or
ders from its driver.
To show that it was not influenced
by the sound of the factory whistles and
bells the following remarkable action
on the part of this animal is vouched
for by the superintendent of the line.
who gave me these data: On certain
occasion, during musical festival, this
mule was transferred to the night shift,
and the very instant it completed its
fiftieth trip it started for the stables. 1t
took the combined efforts of several
men TO make it return to its duty. At
night there We're no bells or whistles to
inform the creature that quitting
time" had come. 1t had counted the
trips, and having finished its full quota
of so it thought that the time for rest
and food had arrived.
Some monkeys give unmistakable evil
dences of the possession by them of the
computing faculty. In 1889 l made the
acquaintance of a very intelligent CHM
panzee which could count as high as
three. That this was not trick sug-
gested by sensual impulses had ample
opportunity of satisfying myself The
owner of the animal would leave the
room, no one being present but myself,
and when | would call for two marbles
or one marble or three marbles, as the
case might be, the monkey would grave
ly hand over the required number Ro-

count three, the material used in his
experiment being straws from the ami.

DEWEY AS A DlSClPLiNARiAN.
His Method of Subduing Some Refractory
Sailors


II waSith Commodore Dewey when
he was tAO'executive officer of the Colo
RADIO, " said a financier, land remem-
Der one incident which shows the man
ner of man he is. We had fine crew,
some of them as powerful men as l ever
saw. Four or five of them went ashore
one day and came back fighting drunk.
Three of them were men who would
singly have been more than match in
strength for John l.. Sullivan. The or
der was given to put them in irons, and
1t was found impossible to carry out the
order, for the men We're dangerous
Dewey was notified of the situation. He
was writing letter in his room at the
time.
He went to the place where these
giants were and he told them to come
out and submit TO the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly co an
orderly, Bring me my revolvers, and
when he had his pistols he again called
upon the men to come out, but they did
not move Then he said, i am going to
count three. If you are not out here
with your hands held up on the third
count, You won't come out of that place
alive.
He counted one, then he cooked the
revolvers, and he counted two. We all
expected to hear the report, for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said. The
men knew it too. They stepped out just
in time to save their lives and held up
their hands, and they had been partial
ly sobered by their fright and the moral
effect of Dewey's glance
Zone of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be dead Jackie
in moment or he would have to yield,
and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was in his
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter he was writing" -
