SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

What other creatures feel and
know still offers wide field for
investigation. Lord Avebury, un-
like Descartes and other great au-
thorities, is forced to conclude
that animals possess some glim
mers of reason, and that their
minds differ from ours more in
degree than in quality, while he
has demonstrated that they may
have senses quite unknown to us
He has shown by tests that they
b, ar higher nott than are audi BILE
to us and see ultra violet rays that
do not affect our eyes Our organs
enable us to perceive vibrations in
the atmosphere from about 30 to
1000 per second, which gives us
the impression of sound, and be
yond 400 millions of millions per
second, which gives us the impress
sion of light. The intermediate
vibrations, to which we are insen
sible, may give 10 responsive organs
s vera senses as different from
ours as sound is from sight. To
our animal friends they may trans
form our familiar world into very
different place, full of music we
cannot hear, of colors we cannot
see and of sounds we cannot con
ceive.

Edward Williams, William Will.

and Carrie Bailey were arrested
Saturday night for disturbance.
1t seems that the Henderson and
Burk women were each jealous of
Ed Williams and when the five
met on Pixies Peak avenue quar-

cape from Ada and the latter
slashed Carrie with razor, cutting
cash in the cape about twenty
inches long and also cutting her
arm badly.
The law breakers were arraigned

COLLISIONS CAN BE AvERTED.

Every time wreck on a railroad
occurs, causing great loss of life,
the people storm for some method
that will prevent such accidents as
occurred Mt Seneca day or so
ago. The block system, adopted
by several roads in the country,
has reduced the number of acct
dents greatly in the past, but an
automatic system by which APP
preaching trains are warned of
their danger, is absolutely essen
tial if railroad officials would pre-
vent accidents altogether We do
not believe that such devices are
impossible. Several have been
patented, and railroads should be
compelled by law to adopt them,
or the roads should be taken over
by the government and operated
for the people, Just as the mail
system is at the present time, and
by the means of which senders of
money never lose a dollar. Just
30 the government could operate
railroads, never causing loss of life
through collision or through negli-
gence of any kind. Cripple Creek

gress, the society was able to seize
the bodies Of 1900 birds from a Harry

him. The good effect OF this action
was felt at once. All the wholesale
