SIXTH SENSE IN LOWER ANIMALS
Indications That They Sometimes
Have knowledge of Coming
Danger.

A correspondent of the London News
states that a lady residing in the hotel
at Amalf, the day before the landslip,
refused to stsy there for another night
because she was certain that the earth
was moving, and compares this sensi.
tiveness with the observations of the
symptoms of unrest and spprehensi
shown by domestic animals sefore the
serious earthquake of 1897 in the Ri
viera.
The facts then observed correspond
generally with those remem bered in
the case OF other great disturbances OF
earth and air. A number Of cases are
given In which horses, dogs, a monkey
and even ducks showed signs OF panic
for a day, two days or even longer be-
fore the last great earthquake. A lady
~ Nice remarked the bad condition OF
the horse she usually drove and told her
goodman to take IL home and to bring
another In . brouRham from the livery
stables for her. The hired horse seem-
ed az timid and weak ~ her own. The
driver then said that all the animals
were ''off their feed"
A monkey and other pets at q villa
near Villefrsnche, on the day before
the shock which destroyed much life
and property. refused to enter the
house where they were generally
ritless, dull and scared. A small lap
dog which usually sat on the arm of
her masters chair at meals refused to
occupy It's usual seat. But perhaps the
most strikipg evidence that the
animals were In . state OF fear WAS
that the the COWS In the diaries supply
ing the coast resorts seemed terrified
and the quantity and quality OF milk
su ffered.
On the chalk range which overhangs
Shirburn and extends along the
Thames, one of the most extraordinary
and universal pauics over known among
domestic animals in this country occur
red quite recently, q panic which can
only be explained on the superstition
that they felt the premOnition Of an
earthquake or ore OF those subter-
ranean sounds which sometimes pre-
cede earthquakes. These hills are q
series Of sheep farms, the aocks bein 2
partof the regular local system OF
agriculture. That no earthquake
shock was felt does no, make IL impos.
sible that the sheep felt or heard
some 81 toe common premonitiors OF
earthquake.
Nothing is more probable than that
the whisperinRs of earth ana air, 70
which we are deaf, are heard by the
keener animal ears. The superstition
that they have g sixth sense" q
hypothesis which arouses q degree
OF irritation difficult to account for
In some minds, need not be raised 10
this case any more than In the inst
snces In which animals are obviously
conscious of coming storms. Ii many
human beings are uneasy at such times
and declare that they ''feel' q
thunder storm coming, there need be
no doubt whatever that many auimsli
are far longer, earlier and more
acusely alive to the heat and electric

Lord Roberts actual entry into the
