ANIMAL CONSCIENCE.
The Sense Of Shame and Justice in the
Dog and Other Animals.

| And now they say animals know

of good and evil That they are cap

offer models of maternal and cOnjugaI
affection. has long been admitted. and
today they are credited with express
sions of some notion, however obscure
and imperfect. of good and evil, IF
merit and demerit, Of justice and in
justice. There is familiar anecdote
from the naturalist, Romanes. about
his dog, which never stole thing in
his life. save once, and then under these

"Onc day when he was hungry" SAYS

l had seen nothing. and the culprit re !
manned some minutes under the sofa
divided between the desire to aSsuage

The latter finally triumphed. and the
dog deposited al my feet the outlet
which he had stolen. This done he re-
turned to conceal himself under the
sofa, whence no appeal could make him
emerge. In vain | gently pltted his

to make him turn his face with an air
of cortrition that was truly cOmical"
What cyiypS y,

the dog i'll question had never been
beaten, so that it could not have he IN
fear of corporal punishment which
actuated him. I'm MIN there seems t.
be an animal that knows what he owes
to another. There are also animals
which know what is due them. 1t has
often been stated that certain beasts
have a precise idea of what can be ex-
acted from them without injury, and tn
they ask in their own way to be Unite |

THE IMPERIAL BANK
OF China May Now Be Backed by tho
Government.

Shanghai, Nov. l0.-The attempts of
the Chinese government to establish an
imperial bank Of China having failed
owing to the distrust prevalent among
the natives in regard to entering into
anything which savors of government
control. French officials and merchants
are negotiating with the Chinese CEN
trail authorities with the object in view
OF advancing the funds necessary for
the purpose.
The promoters offer to start bank
with a capital of 1o.ONo. 600 taels. with
the proviso that the manager and chief
accountant shall be French.
If they are successful in inaugurat-
Ing this banking enterprise its infiu-
enCe on the trade of other countries
will be considerable. the full extent OF
which can be estimated. when it is I'M
derstood that all moneys Of the board
of revenue must be lodged in the pro

Knew All About Snakes

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, the Philadel.
phia specialist, is an expert on snakes
i he has made as great a success il
studying and classifying them, anG
ahdlvLlnS the effect Of their poison or
the human system as he has in study
ing the nerves and writing novels.
He has taken up this work through
love. The snake interests him more
than any animal He never tires 0,
studying it. dead or alive. He is sup
posed by scientists TO know more about
the variety. the habits, the life and
the poison Of Ewes tempter than any
one living. His house on Walnut
street contains rare collection OF
snakes in bottles.
There is another man in PhiIadel-
phia. however. who knows snakes also
He has no scientific knowledge of
them. Much Of his lifetime he has
been dealing in them. and he keeps
thou5Inds i'll his home. From cellar
to attic the place is alive with rep
tiles. Through the lower part Of the
house they are kept in cages; in the
attic they are permitted to run wild.
He picks them up in a careless way,
handling them as if they We're angle
worms. He sells to the circuses. He
provided the snakes that were eaten
by that terrible specimen of humanity
who belongs to the Smithsonian In
stitution. and who was carried around
as side-shOw.
, Now. DR.. Mitchell wanted rare
snake for his collection. He heard
that it was to be bought at this mans
shop.
He went to the place, and the man
showed him through. Many things
that the owner said were contradicted
by the visitor. After a half-hour of
argument the snake-seller became
angry. He thought he knew more
about snakes than any man living, and
here was an unknown person contra
dieting him; one who proved what he
said.
Holding the big snake in his arms,
he finally asked: WHO are you, any
way"
Il am S. Weir MITCHELL" said the
visitor.
And the snake-seller tells today of
the paralyZcd feeling he had when he
found he had been ''sassing' the man
of all men whom he most desired to
meet.

STCESSEL WAIVERS.
Reported That He Is About to GIVE
Up Port Arthur.

Toxic. Nov. 10-10.45 a. NIT is re-
ported that Gen. Sto=sstl, commanding
at Port Arthur. has asked the japanese
for an armistice, the purpose of which
is not stated. The confirmation of the
report is unobtainable. 1t is hoped here
that Gen. Stoessel will capitulate be-
fore the city proper is taken.
The japanese soldiers are angry and
infa.ned on account of the alleged
abuse Of their wounded by the Rus
SLAMS. They believe they will be muir
dered if captured. Under these condi-
tons it will possibly be difficult to
avoid a massacre when the troops meet
in the final combat.

LOOKING AHEAD.

1t was an excellent move for the
city when the water board Sc cured
the ITO acres of land at Runyon adj
joining the present tract owned by the
city at that place. There is no doubt
but that there is an abundance Of good
water under the surface there and
Perth Amboy wants 1t brought here.
The condition of the water here has
long been one of the greatest detri-
ments to the city.
A few mole wells, it is said, will
be sufficient to supply the present de-
mands of the city without using any
of the surface water. With these wells
driven, however, the land owned by
the city, until the recent purchase,
would be well occupied and nothing
would be left for future develop
ment. With 10 acres added, this
danger is removed and the driving of
wells can continue as the growth of
the city demands, for many years to
come. The price paid was reasonable
and the taxpayers can find no fault
with the transaction. 1t is to be hoped
that the water commissioners will
soon see their way clear to drive the
remaining few wells necessary to give
the city a supply of nothing but arte-
isan water. This seems to be more
necessary than the reservoir just at
present, as long as n twin main under
the river will soon be completed. The
residents want to be able to draw
water at anytime and be sure it is
clear.
