DO DOGS THiNK7

Some Thinking Dogs Observed by Ucrr
Steiner Hummer.
Do dogs think? Yes. replied Herr
Steiner Drummer, the landlord of the
Hotel du Glacier at Meiden. in the
Turtmannthal. Herr Brunner left his
mountain hotel during the last winter
under the guardianship OF watchman,
whose only companions were a couple
of dogs-a French "griffon" and little
"spitz." A month ago the watchman
was cutting wood in the neighborhood
Of the hotel, when he was suddenly
overwhelmed by an avalanche. The
two dogs were with their master, and
must have seen him thus buried by the
fallen mass OF snow. Unable to get at
him for his release, his two canine
friends. either with or without holding
counsel together. rushed down the
mountain (Which stands Mt the height
OF / 800 meters above the sea level and
made their way to Herr Burners house
In the valley. There. by snorthg,
barking and other signs OF excitement,
they made the landlord understand
that something extraordinary had oc-
Cured at the summit. The host. with
three men and two dogs. assembled to
the Hotel du Glacier. a journey which
occupied them nine hours. When they
arrived at the spot where the accident
had happened. 1T was as clearly in
dicated by the conduct OF the two dogs
as II they had said in words. This is
the place The watchman was soon
excavated from his snowy grave. and
quickly recovered himself As he could
give the exact time at which the ava
lanche had fallen, II was calculated
that the two dogs had made their
downward journey In little more than
an hour. and during heavy snowfall,

A TOUGH GERM.
Remarkable Vitality shown by Plague
Bacilll In Tests.

Remarkable Vitality shown by Plague
Baciili In Tests.
DR.. M. J. Rosenau. director Of the
hygienic laboratory of the United
States marine hospital service. has
been making experiments to find out
how tough an animal the plague bacil-
lus is, says the New York Press. He
hnds him to be one Of the toughest OF
the bacillus family. He says: 1T is
the experience Of all observers that
the bacillus cannot live long outside
the body when dried at temperature
OF 80 degrees centigrade or over. but at
temperature lower than this and un-
der 20 degrees centigrade 1t has been
kept alive GO and rs days. The Ger
man plague commission found that the
organism always lost its power OF In
lection when dried, within eight days.
In India, but after returning to Ger
many could be kept alive after drying
2S days, at 10 degrees to 18 degrees
centigrade. My own experience indi-
Gates that the organisms, which dried.
will die quickly II the temperature
reaches q degrees centigrade, but that
at 23 degrees II may live much longer"
Some bacilli, 1t is thought. are harder
than others. Just as some persons are.
The doctor put some bacilli on little
squares of crash and set some OF the
pieces of cloth to dry in dark corner
Of hn Ioh t.r ,.,ha 70 n
ture ranged from 20 to 81 degrees CEN
tigrade. Other inoculated pieces OF
crash he placed In a cool room with
temperature Of about IS degrees cent?
grade. Still other pieces were placed
in a Photographic dark room where
the temperature was about % degrees
centigrade. The bacilli from the dif-
ferent pieces OF crash were tried every
once in while to see how lively they
were. After 13 days the bacilli on the
pieces of crash In the dry dark corner
OF the laboratory. where the teNpera-
ture was high. ceased to grow. and
were pronounced dead. But bacillus
from the cool chamber was strong
enough. after being there As days, to
kill mouse inoculated with II. The
mouse died in three days. A bacillus
which stayed in the dark room for As
days killed mouse in two days. The
same experiments were tried with pine
wood infected with plague bacilli, and
1t was found that they did not flourish
as well as when placed on crash. The
bacilli in the laboratory died after four
days. those in the cool chamber after
eight days and those in the dark room
after IL days.
