LOWER ANIMALS HAVE SENSES
This Has Now Come to De Admitted

Many scientists, until quite recently,
have been reluctant to admit that n
number OF the lower animals possibly
possess other senses than ours. 50 much
new and undeniably affirmatory evil
dence Is, however, now being offered on
this point that there can be no longer
any substantial reason for doubling
that the five senses man imperfectly ex-

human beings. but to greater or less
