This is the most striking,
and also universal, instance
of clear reasoning that |
have ever observed among

The idea that animals

nonsense ever penned, as
any child of reasoning

conclusion. A bear, puma, wolf or wolverine will
say: This cage is of wood and black bars. The
bars are small; will bite them in two. No,
they harder than my teeth l will pull them
out, one by one, with my teeth and claws.
No, they will not come out. But wood is softer
than iron. | will eat my way out through the
wood. l can get out easier at weak place than
strong one. This crack in the middle of the side
is weak spot, and with my claws | can tear off
splinters from the edges" And to work he goes
with knowledge deduced from straight reasoning,
to chew and tear his way out, chip by chip, by
process he never before had seen dreamed of.
The mental faculties of the higher animals are
precisely the same as those of men, and they result
in the series of emotions. The state of the
body-warm cold, hungry fed, safe or in peril,
in peace at war, bond or free-leads to CORE
spending series of emotions and mental activities.
From elephants down to mice, and from chimpanzee
to echidna the four-footed and four-handed animals
manifest love and hate courage and fear, hope and
dependency, JOY and grief, pleasure and pain,
tent and nostalgia, memory and fOrgetfuneSs faith
fitness and treachery, mercy and cruelty, forgive
ness and revenge. 1t would require volume to
contain the illustrations of these emotions that
come CrOwding to my mind.

which | know is a confirmed pessimist-aways
predicting calamity, always expecting trouble,
always ready to fly off at tangent and smash
things. But our Major is such confirmed optirnist
that he believes nothing ever will harm him. He
fears neither automobile, engine artillery in
action. If a road open he would willingly be
driven into the engine-room of a man-of-war. A
good horse, when properly driven, has perfect
tidence in its driver, but the equine pessimst has
none.

think for one moment of training and handling large
carnivores, caught when adult, for their rage and
choler leave opportunity for calm ratiocnation.
Not only is the Indian elephant one of the best
original reasoners in the kingdom of lower animals,
but as far judge, it also has the best memory
A particularly intelligent chimpanzee remember
as many different things elephant, but out of
the whole number of captive chimpanzees not
more than onefourth one-fifth be taught
and made to remember the number of things that
easily be learned and actually remembered by
every Indian elephant The wonderful things about
an elephants memory its scope, accuracy and
quickness. In these three qualities of mind, and
also in susceptibility to training, l think that the
Indian elephant stands at the head of all the animals
below man.
The mental capacity, and especially the memory
of elephants, is best shown in the circus ring where
the whole performance depends upon the ear, the
memory, the eye and the words of the trainer. The
most striking manifestations of intelligence are the
accuracy of the elephantine memory and the absence
OF laPses the PromPtness of response and the great
number of things remembered Among trained
lions, horses and dogs it is only the exceptionally
apt animals that reach the exhibition platform,
but with elephants everyone is star
In the show performances of elephants, there are
two leading features. The most spectacular is
the military drill, in which from ten to twenty
elephants go through a series of evolutions, from
fall in, roll ca and several kinds of marching
and countermarching to the final ground arms,
when all lie prone upon the earth Before me have
list of fifteen commands that obeyed instantly,
accurately and without hesitation or mistake by
sixteen elephants Not one command was repeated,
and not one elephant made an error. 1t was long
and complex performance much too long, think,
for any animal to remember from beginning to end
without spoken commands.
The other elephantact usually consists of " trick
elephants" which do almost everything their
trainer think Of l have seen elephants taken
from the drill and its fifteen acts, and trckan
mails put through a series of eighteen more, making

th1rty-three acts IN all 1or
each animal to remember.
Is there any other animal
which ever has been SO
trained, or which ever has
exhibited so wonderful
a combination of per-
ceptive faculties, memory
and philosophical ODE
dience? l think not. In
my judgment, lions,
tigers, dogs, monkeys and
horses are not even in
the same class, mentally,
as elephants.

Southern India every ele-

enough to cease to
fight its bonds and
its bondsmen, and as
a rule it lives only
when it cannot pos
sibly die of broken
bones or a broken
heart.
How different is
EIephas indicus. An
elephant is caught
wild and fully adult,
mastered in about
two weeks time, or
even less, and in from
six to twelve weeks
is actually broken, or
trained to steady
service in the timber
forests.
Six weeks after its
capture, an adult
orang is still a raging

in from three to five
months it is dead,

and to the last man they will say: "Of course
animals reason" And these mind you, are the
who win their bread because they can accurately
gage the mental processes of the animals with
which they have to deal. Take illustration:
My guide in British Columbia, Charles L. Smith,
is by winter business a trapper; and for twenty
years he has backed his reasoning powers against
those of that creature of diabocal cunning and
originality, the wolverine Rarely is wolverine
caught in trap. Once however, in attempting to
figure out wolverine reasoning, Charlie put quarter
of venson in his cabin, left the door ajar and
planted two traps in the opening. He said: The
wolverine will carefully avoid those traps and stay
out. Behind my cabin l will carelessly hang up
in this tree the deers head if had thrown it into
the discard. Wolverine will say: Aha! This
fellow has forgotten to look out for this head. l
will pull it down and drag it off.
So in the spot where GmIo Inscus would need to
stand in carrying out that shrewd intention the
trapper planted trap, attached to pole like we'll
sweep. Result: GnIo reasoned precisely the
trapper thought he would. He carefully avoided
the traps in the doorway, went boldly to the for
gotten u head, caught, snatched high in air
by the balanced pole, and when the trapper returned
from his line he found his i1nplacabe enemy hang
ing high, and dead as a wedge
Animals reason, just as men do, much or little,
according to what they are and where they are In
these days fox, deer, bear lynx could not live
a week if it did not reason hard from dawn till
dark fox that goes out hunting ruffed grouse
reasons just as clearly and as cogently as his human
rival who hunts both. Like men of different kinds,
the mind of an animal may contain on y score of
distinct and recognizable IDEAS or it may be a
hundred. AS long it remains under the
conditions that surrounded its parents its thoughts
will run in the same grooves that theirs did. But
remove the parents, change those conditions, and,
presto! that animal develops new lines of thought
and draws entirely new set of conclusions

FATAL TROLLEY ACCIDENT.

Injuring Ten Persons.
Adolph p. Johnson was killed and
ten persons were injured in a runaway
car accident in Portland, Ore. Mon

grade. and on striking curve jumped
the track The injured were extricat-
ed from their peril with great diff
Guilty. the car being almost chopped to
pieces before the last of the injured
was removed.
The wreck seems to have been
caused by the slippery condition of
the rails. owing to frost. The mo-
torman. when he realized that the car
was approaching the curve too rapid
ly. threw on his brakes and reversed
the current. but this was not sufil-
cient to check the momentum. and
the car. with its load. struck the curve
with so terrific force that the body of
the car left the forward trucks before
the trucks left the tracks. This re-
suited In the rear trucks dragging the
back part OF the body of the car with
them until II was turned half way
around.
