ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.

An illustrated lecture, entitled ''The Brains and Minds of Animals" was given recently at the London Institution by Dr. Alexander Hill, master of Down. ing College, Cambridge. A dog, he re- marked, might be supposed to reflect on his own existence, as David Harum showed when he said "A few feas are good for a dog, because they prevent him from broodin' on being dog.
 Let any man try to imagine, continued the lecturer what his sensations would be if his eyes were put at the sides of his head, as if he were dog or a horse. Human beings were soon accustomed to put their thoughts into words. The animal did no such thing. He was not going to tell dog stories, but he might relate just one. A gentleman staying at country house became very friendly

with the dog. When he packed up to go away the dog took him into the garden, and there pointed at a bed of flowers. They were forget-me-nots. In order to do animals justice, 1t was neces sary to become acquainted with the cor tex of the brain, and to study the facul- ties and powers prevailing in different species. The nervous system of the frog, the small brains of vertebrate and invertebrate fishes and reptiles were shown on screens and described to the audience. The contrast between these specimens and that belonging to bird were strikingly manifest. Here the part of the brain influencing sight was naturally most highly developed. The vulture, living on carrion, found his food by sight, and when it was covered by small sprinkling of sand or leaves failed to find it though it might be but few yards away.
 Touching next on herbaceous animals, where sight was stronger than smell. pr. Hill showed by contrast how highly developed was that part of the dogs brain relating to the sense of smell. When returning from hunting, could it be supposed that the dog thought of beautiful scenery? No: his memory was of the smells of drains and variety of odorous things. Man, on the other hand, relied so much upon the eye that he was wont to use such express ions as going out to ''see'' if it was cold. One more dog story was given, to prove that the dog was actuated more by habit than by reason. A fox terrier of his own was taught to raise with his nose latch. and so open a box. One day a mutton chop was put in the box, but instead of opening the lid the dog sniffed and scraped all round. After the lid was opened for him, and he found the chop inside, he remembered the fact, and afterward looked for the chop, even when he had opened the lid himself. Judged by brain formation animals were governed by instinct and habit rather than by reason, and could not draw differences as human beings could.-~London Daily News.

Turkish government, and the treasure discovered in the Russian admirars ship sunk at Tcherman at the time of the naval battle of ITO, when the Turkish fleet was completely destroyed.
 The search has continued with strik- ing success. These fortunate divers have become rich, but the Turkish government has also obtained some large amounts, inasmuch as it has re- served for itself the lions share.
 The fact is that the Russian vessel. which sank in depth of 30 fathoms. abound in pieces of gold and silver. At first the divers only paid attention to the former, of which they found full sacks. These pieces are mostly single, double and quadruple ducats.
 It has already been announced that on the first shipment to Constantinople the divers obtained for their part the sum of 276000 francs. The daily work of the divers amounts to from 5000 to 10000 admiralty, manned by officers of the Turkish navy and by a government in- spector, is stationed continually at this point. Each sack drawn from the water is registered the pieces counted and a receipt given to the divers. ! It appears that the bottom of the sea is strewn with silver pieces, which have the dimensions and the weight of French crowns of five francs. Besides this money, the divers have drawn up various other precious objects, gold and silver crosses, jewels, images, swords. canes, especially an evangel, of which the finding of gold is ornamented with precious stones of great value.
 This is not the first time that such en- terprises have been undertaken for pur- pose of discovering riches buried in the sea, but they have seldom yielded the desired results. It would be difficult to give even summary of the innumer- able fortunes engulfed. Among others an English bark, which foundered in 1799 on the coast of Holland, had on board ingots of gold and silver, valued at about $50,00o,o0o, of which very small part was recovered. The Royal Charter went down near the Moelfran, with cargo of s2,00o,0oO.
 The greatest fortune engulfed was in the shipwreck of French sailing vessel on the coast of Trafalgar. It carried a ton and a half of gold plates and five tons of silver plates, whose destination

through which the ratios are at about

through which the ratios are at about the same level, and in the later epochs of life there is an evidence of retrogres- sion. During the first years of the great national prosperity that marked the nineteenth century. the effect in the lengthening of life was not marked, for prosperity was mot little heartless. But in later years humanity and phi- lanthropy had left their mark in the growth of hospitals and organizations for the care of the poor and suffering, while contemporaneously there was a. great advantage in hygiene and sur- gery, which also helped to extend the period of life. These developments have acted with more marked benefi- cial effect on childhood and youth than they have upon middle age; for in the later periods the intenser strain and keener competition which characterize modern life. it's higher pressure, and special forms of diseases, are causes of mortality from which the earlier peril ods of life are exempt.

THE EXPECTATION or LIFE.
Interesting Facts Revealed by the Sta
 tistics of Insurance Actuaries.

Interesting Facts Revealed by the Sta-
 tistics of Insurance Actuaries.
 At a recent session of the internation- al congress of actuaries, held in this city, the comforting fact was brought out that the improved conditions of modern life, as shown by statistics of the insurance companies extending over half a century, have resulted in deci- ded increase of the length of life of the average individual. The actuaries are men of the very highest professional ability and their conclusions are based, not upon limited observations, as is so often the case where important deduc- tions are drawn from statistics, but upon a vast accumulation of insurance data and upon a careful analysis of the census. Hence their conclusions may be accepted as perfectly reliable and ac- curate. c. L. Landre of Amsterdam, in l speaking of the results obtained in his country, stated that it was remarkable how very constantly the insurance sta- tistics show the expectation of life is in creasing, the increase of the maximum of the expectation of life having risen | to 57.S years for women. c. c. Warner stated that the results obtained in Great Britain show that whereas in 1888 the annual rate of mortality of men for all ages was twenty-three per one thou sand, in 1900 it had fallen to nineteen 1 per one thousand; while for women il had fallen in the same period from l twenty-two to seventeen per one thou 1 sand. The same authority stated that the distinct decrease in mortality as the nineteenth century progressed was SC symmetrical as to indicate settled anc permanent tendency. The curious fact
 was brought out that the most marked improvement is shown in the early year. | of life. From four years of age up te thirty-four the improvement is So stead,
 that it must be regarded as the direct result of law, while the same fact hold:
 true of female mortality for decade
 longer, or up to the age of forty-four
 and in less decided degree for thu male. After this age there are periods
