naturalist who is much interested
In birds says that the crow is the wis
est OF all feathered animals. He has
made number of experiments recent
ly, and declares that an ordinarily well
educated crow can count to twenty. and
that he has found sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to
twenty-six. He made these discoveries
IN very interesting way. Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
OF wales, where company of boys
was camping out. One day he found
a flock Of crows gathered round the
body OF a sheep that had died. and
which lay near a barn. They few
away as he approached, so he hid him
sell In the barn and waited; but they
would not come back. Then he went
out and walked up the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
Ihat afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
other two went out, and only the natu-
ralist remained. But the old sentinel
crow had evidently counted them az
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out At last the natural
ISL lett the building and straightway
all the crows returned. This expert
ment was repeated a number OF times

Tame Catamount.

ProDably 1t is true that some men
nave by nature peculiar power over
WHO animals, and it is matter Of COM
mon experience that animals sometimes
strike up sudden friendships with per-
sons they have never seen before. An
extreme instance of this kind ia de-
scribed by military correspondent of
the New York Sun: Perhaps of all the
wild animals that may be at least par
TALLY civilized or tanned, the Rocky
Mountain lion or catamount offers the
least promise; and yet in the writer's
experience one specimen was as gentle
and docile as human kindness could
make him. He followed his master
around like dog, obeying every wish
or nod, but would allow no other per-
sons to approach him with offers of
kindness or anything else. This crea-
ture was a full grown mountain lion.
that for some strange reason had taken
a fancy to a Cheyenne Indian. Wheth
er In camp, on the prairie, or in the
post, the brute could always be seen
quietly following the Indian. but he
would never leave his masters heels
for any reason except at his masters
bidding. Often would he accompany
the buck into the post traders store,
where his entrance was the signal for
all dogs to get out and for bipeds not
acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to the counters. The
re Of he a.
the Indian to part with his pet for a
consideration. and the lion, after being
securely Gagged, was shipped as a pres
ent to the National Museum at Wash.
