FINDS RATS HAVE SIX SENSES
Scientist Experiments with Them
After Destroying Nerves.
Announces TO Psychological AssOci-
Food by Unknown Means.

New York. Dec. 9.-That a rat has a
sixth sense. the sense of direction. is the
discovery made by Prof John B. Watson,
OF the University Of Chicago, and an
nounced by him in this city to-day.
Prof Watson told of some Of his ex-
periments upon rats which led 10 his dis
-0very TO the American Psychological As
sociaton to-day at Columbia University.
The professor took the eyes out Of sew
eraI rats. killed the sense Of touch by
freezing the feet, and in other ways es-
tabushed the fact that rats. deprived Of
their ordinary senses. still managed to
20 in the direction which would lead them
10 food.
At the beginning of his experiments DIT
Watson took several rats and placed them
in box From the center of the box
was maze which led 10 freedom and
food
For several days the rats were permitted
90 &c back and forth over the path with
am Of their senses retained. Then. grad
uaIly. DR.. Watson started to kill the ami
mails various senses.s
The eyes were pried out, but the rats
went through the maze in the direction
OF the food without difficulty. Blindness
seemed TO be absolutely no factor in the
progress Of the animals Every time the
rats were brought back 10 the box and
released they managed 10 get out Of the
maze.
Prof Watson then removed the olfac-
tory nerves from the rats and let them
try TO escape from the maze. To his
amazement. they escaped. without the
least effort
They had no difficulty in finding the
food after their ordinary senses had all
been killed

Year after year. with only a break Of
one year, when he got married, Count

successful attempt was made in 1901, when
the count, who was then siXty-thTee years
of age. in despair publicly announced that
he was determined 20 abandon his effort
But he managed 70 collect funds TO
build another air ship, which was com

September. and was reported to be a
