ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE
Surprising Cases Proving the Posses
sion and the Lack of it.

London Telegraph: Lord Avebury
opened the winter session of the
London institution with d pleasant
address on the "Senses and Intel
ligenCe of Animals" Descrates AID
Fabre convinced themselves that
the lower animals were mere auto
mata; Lord Avebury, after number
less observations and experiments
with dogs, wasps, bees and ants, is
equally assured that they possess
sense and glimmering of reason,
the difference between them and
ourselves being in degree rather
than in quality OF sentence. By
continuous association of food, tea,
water and the like with words
printed on cards, he taught a poo
die to select the appropriate card
when the word was pronounced,
care being. taken that scent should
not be the dogs guide. His lord
ship gave up the attempt to test the
faculty of counting in consequence
of an experience of Sir William
Higgins with his dog, Kepler. If
such statement as plus 4, minus
3, were made in this dogs presence
and his master went round a row OF
figures on cards placed on the floor,
Kepler would select the correct one,
So" an evident case of thought
reading. Something in the astron,
omer's manners showed the intel,
ligent creature which was the right
card. Besides incidents of apparent
thought, Lord Avebury quoted
others of seeming stupidity.
The professional caterpillar ap-
pears to be an insect OF very low
order of intelligence. Professional
caterpillars, when out for an ex-
petition weave thread, by means
of which they find their way back,
and small party were lured by an
ingenious scientist up a flower pot
and round the top. He then clear
ed away the ascending thread, and
for eight days did those caterpillars
walk round and round the top of
the flower pot, following the circu-

they dropped off from fatigue and
exhaustion.
With regard to the senses of the
lower animals, experiments were
.recounted which seems to show
that in the matter of color and
sound some insects, while not pos
sessing our perceptions, are endow-
ed with others often more acute-a
capacity to distinguish shriller
sounds and possibly light effects
that are beyond our range of vision.
1t was, the lecturer confessed, to
him fascinating inquiry to find in
what kind of a world the lower an
imals lived. Probably it was wide
ly different from ours. They may
be conscious of sounds we cannot
hear, perceive colors we cannot see
and have senses we cannot conceive.
Some creatures appeared to have a
sense of electricity of which we were
devoid and he saw no reason why
there should not be fifty other
senses besides the five we possess.
The truest and most alluring ma
tural history was that which made
us familiar with the lives and hab-
it's, the faculties and powers OF the
living world around.

Openings for Southern Trade.

By the making of reciprocity
treaties with Cuba and South
American countries, with the addi-
ton of free trade markets in Porto
Rico and the Danish West Indies,
openings are offered to southern
trade that are exceptionally wide
and may be made exceptionally
profitable.
The necessaries OF lite in Cuba,
and Spanish America generally,
which are not manufactured in
those countries and must be im-
ported, are such as can be produced
IN the south as cheaply as any
where and transported more easily
than from any other manufacturing
district. The chance to secure and
occupy those new markets should
not be neglected. There are for
tunes to be made in cultlvating
them, and our southern people will
sleep upon their natural rights if
they do not practically monopolize
them.
Our southern cotton mills pro-
duce the sheetings, shirtings and
coarser cotton fabrics that are most
in demand by the peasantry and
humble city folk of those countries.
They are people who work for
small st1pends and who live cheap
ly, and seldom can afford them
selves better than the goods above
mentioned, Since we grow the cot
ton almost under the caves of the
factories that make it into cloth,
with labor that is cheaper than any
IN New England, there is no reason
why we should not be able to meet
the demands of the Spanish-Amer1-
can markets with adaptab BILE goods
at non-competitive prices, and so
obtain to ourselves the bulk of the
trade in those regions.
In iron goods, furniture and farm
ing tools, with abundant iron, coal
and steel at our command, we
sho aid easily capture the markets
in those articles. A little study of
local demands and a little care to
give the exact article required
should put us in profitable possess
sion of growing trade in those re-
gions.
Our natural resources, our cheap
ness of featuring, our nearness to
the markets and our ability to com
pete with those who are more ham
pered by costs of production and
transportation give us advantages
that we should promptly employ.
If we lose the markets at the out
set of these new relations between
those countries and our own, we
may never be able to regain them.
Now is the accepted time to COM
pass and control them against all
competitors.-Atlanta Constitution.

Primer Lesson in Imperialism.

Whose portrait is this?
1t is a portrait of King George
III.
Who was he?
He was a bloody ty-rant who
tried to impose his government
upon this country.
Did he coed?
No, indeed! We demanded the
right to govern ourselves and we
fought it to a successful con-clu-
sion.
Then we we're rebels, were we
not?
No, my dear; we we're patriots.
Whose portrait is this?
That is the portrait of a Fiji
pi-no.
Who is he?
He is a savage man who insists
that he be allowed to set up a gov
eminent of his own.
Will he be allowed to do it?
No, my dear. We will govern
him.
What is lie going to do about it?
He is fighting us.
Then he is a patriot, is he not?
Mercy sakes, child! OF course he
is not. He is a savage rebel.
But are we not bloody ty-rants
when we try to impose our govern
ment upon him?
No, we are promoters of Chris
tian civilization.

George was a ty--

The Old Time Religion.

Recently Bishop Walden address,
ed the Methodist ministers of Gin
cinnati and took occasion to read
the riot act against worldliness in
the church. Among It's NANTES
tations he included novel reading,
theater-going, dancing and social
card-playing. "No wonder, said
he, 1--WE do not now have the old
fashioned Methodist revivalsw
But some OF the brethren refused
to submit meekly to this prelatical
lambasting and several proceeded
to "talk back at the bishop in a
way that doubtless panied his epis-
copa1 sense of Sir Oracle sufic1ency.
We regard it, however, as a hope
full sign that there are ministers
ready to look upon the much-mooted
questions of conduct above men
toned from more than one point of
view. 1t will do nobody any harm
to open up those subjects to sensi-
BILE debate and let the world in gem
era1 know where the line really
needs to be drawn between sin and
mere arbitrary rules of church disci-
pine.
There are countless honest Chris
tian people who would really like
to know whether true religion is a
question of good conscience, or a
question of leg control? Perhaps,
also, whether saving faith dares
shipwreck by reading a good,
sprightly, wholesome novel. or can
