HORSES POWER IN EYES.

Psychologists Find Calculating AMI
NAL Spells and Counts by Vir- .zs
tue Of Quick Vision. .

Berlin.-Dr. Carl stumpr, professor Of
psychology at the University of Berlin
and a member Of the Royal Academy Of
Science, and two colleagues, DR.. G.. Won
Hornbostel and DR.. o. Pfungst, have
ended months Of experiments with Won
Osten's horse Hans. They find that the
secret of the animals replies is In his
powers of observation, which enable him
to perceive while he looks at his ques-
toner the instant he has reached cor
rect answer. Thus they found the horse
was unable to tap out correct answer
to a question when the person putting It
did not know the answer-for example,
"How many persons are in the group
behind met" 4
The questioner, not looking himself,
did not know the number, and Hans was
unable to give correct reply. The
horse was not able when wearing blink
ers to calculate or perform the simplest
counting.
DR.. Stumpf does not doubt the good
faith Of Won Osten. but he concluded that
the horses long training had taught him
to detect the eyesight changes In the
bearing of the Questioner as he reached
the right number Of hoofbeats in spell
ing or in using the counting apparatus.
The sharpness of observation in itself
Is most remarkable, as the horse noted
movements or changes in expression in
visible to others and of which the ques-
toner is unconscious. This conception
of the horses abilities is the only one
to coser all circumstances. DR.. Stump
says he talked with the naturalist Sch1l-
lings about this and Schillings agreed
with him and hts assistants. IS

oLD.rlME HORSE SOCIETY. +
Body Organised to Catch Horse and
Mule Thieves Celebrates 1ts
1O2d Anniversary.

Philadelphis.-Ons OF the old-time or.
Eanizations that thrived In the days be-
fore the better police system OF to-day
the schuylkil Society for the Detection
and Conviction OF Horse and Mule
Thieves and the Recovery of Stolen
Horses and Mules-xecently held its an
nual supper at Belmont mansion and
celebrated the one hundred and second
anniversary Of its formation.
This society is one Of the Oldest Of tho
horse societies existing and was insti-
tuted on June s, 1902, at The Sign of the
Black Horse inn, on the old Lancaster
road, in Lower Merton, just beyond City
avenue. At the present time this old
house is used as private dwelling BY
the Stadelman family, In whose possess
sion it has been for several generations.
The constitution printed in 1870 states
that ''the stated meetings Of the society
shall be held at the Black Horse inn. in
Lower Merton, unless 9th erwise ordered,
on the Saturday in November on or be.
fore the full moon. The expenses Of
these meetings shall not exceed one dol.
1ar ana levy OF 121h cents for each
member.
Severalold families are connected with
the society. including the George fam
lily. after whom Georges hill, Paramount
park, is named. The Roberts family, Of
Pencoyd, has been we'll represented
among the members. The Heston fam
lily has a membership since 1929, when
Isaac Heston, father Of the present pres
1dent, Edward W. Heston, Joined, and
held his membership until his death, in
1870. The son Joined in 1856.

BLACKLIST FOR HOTEL MEN

city recently. go -

institute are q blacklist for hotel

In the way of legislation It was de-
cided to prepare q bill for presentation
to the state legislature which will pro-
vide for uniform Interpretation OF the
license law in all counties Of the state.
The decision to form q blacklist OF
"dead-beat patrons" was the outcome
of q comparison of worthless checks
and drafts by the members. Every
man in the meeting had at least one
worthless check or draft that had been
passed on him by some one Of his
guests. xg
Charles T. Tederma0, the secretary.

that the hotel proprietors II. the state
had been mulcted for more than $780,

prietor who loses money BY entertain

citation, who will in turn notify every
other member of the association.

SMALL BILLS ARE SCARCER
Dwindling In Number Of Ono and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to N-
haustion Of Silver Bullion.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment is having q dimcult time In. 1lIng
orders from national banks fbr one and
two-dollar bills. The volume Of free
currency of these denominations has
been dwindling at very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or five months, and is
now 90 small that 1t Is necessary to limit
the number that may be doled out 70 the
banks.
The shortage of money Is charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton of the silver bullion. A. - gener-
ally known, silver certificates ofssmall
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as guaran-
tee for the paper money. When con-
gress stopped the purchase of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remained in
the possession Of the governmental re-
mendous amount of the uncoined metal.
This has been gradually used r.rom
month to month since. but practically
the last bit of it was coined in February
of this year, when the minis turned out
$4,000 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume of circulating currency In
the most popular form OF money-tho
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning Of every days basi-
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port Of the number Of free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how.
many silver certificates may be shipped
during theeday. and this limit Is rigidly
adhered to. It frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tons for addition notes cut in half.
Sometimes their demands are honored
In full. ~
