few months. which, 1t Is believed, will
result in the chOpping OFF of enor-
nous fees paid to lawyers in all
parts of the country by the Chinese
for filling out and preparing their
applications for readmittance into
this country after they have once
taken their departure. 1t has Uten
the practice of a large number of Ce-
lcstials in the past, not being ac-
quainted with the immigration laws,
CT not having the ability to under
stand their Interpretation, to make
application to lawyers at the ports of
debarkatiOn to assist them In prepar-
iIg their return certificates. For
this service lawyers have charged
the Chinese anywhere from So to S25,
according to the financial standing OF
the applicant, for such assistance.
Large sums have been reaped by the
attorneys in this way, and the ex-
rense has been wholly unnecessary
to the departing Celestials.
Many complaints regarding this IL
legal practice have come to the I'm

Docs Ear for Music,

The capacity of dogs to distinguish
musical tones has been made the sub
jcct of elaborate experiments by DR..
Otto Kalischer CT Berlin, and the re-
suits have just been published in the
proceedings of the Berlin Academy of
Sciences. Dr.. Kalischer trained his
dogs to pick up and eat morsels of
meat set before them only when a
certain note was sounded. This he
called the feed tone" All the other
notes in the scale. which he called
"prohibition tones" were signals that
the food in front of them was not to
be touched.
He began his course of training with
a set of pipes of nine notes, covering
the diatonic scale. When he had
taught the dogs all the notes in this he
progressed to the piano and har-
monium. and soon found that the ami
mails were able to distinguish semi
tones without error.
The method of procedure was simple.
He had a long note sounded, and
| throughout it's duration he gave the
dog he was training bits of meat. At
| ter two or three days, when the dog
was thoroughly dSCuolOiileu u lillS, Ie
| had another tone sounded, one Of the
"prohibtion tones" and during that he
held meat before the dog, but pre-
| vented him from taking it, making ges-
lures to show that it was forbidden.
The lessons were given daily, each
| lasting about five minutes. He found
that many dogs caught on in five or
six lessons, making no attempt to
| touch the meat during the continu-
ance OF the prohibition tone, but snap
| ping it up eagerly when the feed
tone" was sounded. The other notes
were quickly added as "prohibition
| tones" and oddly enough when he de-
cided to change the feed tone" ma
jority of dogs detected the change
and accommodated themselves to it
| with ease.
1t was proved by the experiments
| that all dogs have a very acute per-
ccption OF music tone. They could
not only distinguish the feed tone
from the half tone above and below it.
but they caught it when sounded in a
| chord with other notes. Finally, af-
ter long training, they showed ability
| tc pick it out amid iangle of dis
cordant notes in which even the ear OF
trained musician failed to detect
whether it was sounding or nOt.-NeW
