HEARD IN PASSING

Buzzing flies carry fever germs, and
gossips leave more poison than their
hearers wish.
1t takes all kinds of people, to make
world, but we wish some OF them
would stay in other countries.
The cnrators of T'the jubilee founda-
ton Of German industry" have award
ell to Professor SlaDy, inventor Of the
Slaby-Arco system OF wireless tele-
graphy, $4,000 for the prosecution OF
his studies in that direction.
1t is authoritatiyely related that as
recently as 1857 d girl suffering from
epilepsy was brought To an execution
In German village and induced to
drink cupful Of the victims blood on
the plea that it would afford a,certain
cure for her disease.
The navy department. is testing four
systems of wireless teIegraphy, the
Slaby-Arcb, the Braun Siemens-
Halske, the Rochefort and the Ducre-
tet. Tests are now being made be-
tween Washington and Annapolis and
later will be conducted Mt sea.
The evil which came into the family
of the late Senator James g. Fair,
with the accumulation of his millions,
has again been emphasized by the
death Of son in an automobile acci-
dent near Paris. The sad story of the
Fair millions may prove a consolation
to those who are less fortunate in the
requirement of riches.

The sublime equanimity with which,
Mr. Roosevelt sees fit to ignore the APP
peals made to him by the starving
miners of the anthracite regions is APP
palling, writes a Washington cores
pendent. The leaders of his party are
known to oppose his interference in
the role of an arbitrator for they re-
gard it as impossible to take any steps
looking to the ending OF the strike
without mourning the displeasure' of
the operators and the great capitalists
whose pocketboolss are involved. 1t
Is well recognized that the position of
the coal operators is based on their
determination to accomplish the final
defeat of al attempts at organization
on the part Of their employees Under
these circumstances anything in the
form OF arbitration would defeat their
ends and leave them in the same posi-
ton that they were before the strike
commenced OF course, the fact that
hundreds of miners families are suf-
fering and that many lives will be lost
counts as nothing by comparison with
the risk of forfeiting the support OF
the coal bar0ns and the railway presi-
dents for the republican party. Tn

DAN A DOG REAsON2
story of Some Experiments and Their
Results.

4 : Z l-4. n n e
story of Some Experiments and Their
Results.
In consideration of the many mar
velous stories about intelligence in the
lower animalsg and especially dogs and
horses, it is commonly taken for grant
ed that their reasoning power differs
from mans, not In quality, but only ~
degree. Attempts have been made
from time to time to establish this
seeming likeness experimentally, but II
must be confessed that the RESULTS are
still negative. Nor can an exception
be made in the case OF Lord Avebury,
who in the London Magazine gives the
results, such as they are, or interesting
series of experience with black poOd-'
le. lit should not be said, however,
that he sought to s'esfaRlish'f any pre-
conceived belief: for asa man Of sci
ence his object was to find out the
truth. Our ignorance Of the psychical
nature OF dogs is, according to Lord
IAyebury, very largely due to this, that
the effort of their owners in the past
has been directed mainly to teaching
them instead of learning from them.
In order, therefore, to reverse the or
der, Lord Ayebury decided to employ
a modification of the system used by
DR. Howe in teaching deaf-mutes. II
took two pieces of cardboard about
ten inches by three" he says, "and on
one of them PRINTED in large letters the
word food leaving the other blank.
then placed the two cards over two
saucers, and in the one under the
food card 1 put a little bread and
milk, which Van, after having his at
tention called to the card, was allowed
to eat. This was repeated over and
oyer again until he had had enough.
In about ten days hesbegan to distin-
guish between the two cards. / then
put them on the floor and babe him
bring them to me, which he did readily
enough. When he brought the plain
card simply threw it back, while
when he brought the food card gave
him a piece Of bread, and in about d
month he had pretty well learned to
realize the difference. Afterward he
elaborated, employing several cards
marked tea" "out," "bone," wafer
and other words to which. the dog was
expected to attach no Significance In
a very short time Lord Ayebury found
that Van was able to make distinctions,
when wanted, to go for a walk he
would pick UP the "out'' card and run
to the door, when thirsty he would
pick MP the water" card, and so on.
Special precautions were taken to avoid
discrimination by the sense of smell.
1t Is interesting to note that one of
the few occasions when he was miss
taken he fetched card marked door"
instead OF "food"-thatS Is to say, a
card IN which three Of the four letters
were the same as In food. New

KNOX AND THE TRUSTS.

For twenty years he was one of the
most successful corporation lawyers in
the country. His Is personal retainers
amounted to $$90,0O0 year. When
Mckinley asked him to become attor-
ney general in 1897 he declined, be-
cause he eonldn't afford to exchange
a personal income of $15O,000 for
salary of $4,000 and carriage. When
the offer was renewed four years later
he was better able to make the sacri-
fee, and he accepted. Then the labor
organizations opposed his confirmation
because they thought he was the tool
Of the trusts. But he isn't afraid Of
labor unions.
Knox was Carnegie's attorney dur.
ing the Homestead riots of 1892. His
ingenuity steered the ironmaster thro'
the perilous legal complications OF
those days. Tt was he to whom 1T first
occurred that the riotous strikers were
open to the charge of treason for yio-
lent resistance of the laws Of the state,
He was acting then ms a lawyer,
faithful to the corporation he served. In
bringing suit against the trusts he be-
lieves he serves with equal faithful
ness his only remaining client,
the United States. For Knox Is a law
aver all the way through, He has all a
lawyers intuitinns and instincts. To-
day he Is the attorney for the govern
ment, just as for years he was attorney
for wealthy private corporations-wit
this difference, that when he served
corporations he had many clients.
After he entered the service Of the
United States he regarded his salary
as IN exclusive retainer. Nc Clure'a.
